Chiengora is the fancy term for dog hair used to make mittens, hats, sweaters, and more. This site will teach you all about chiengora and how to hand spin it into yarn. If you'd rather just brush your dog and send the fur to someone else to knit, check out
Rover's Comb.

Elephants are people, too. A new book by
Steven M. Wise,
Drawing the Line, marshalls the latest research on animal cognition in arguing for legal rights for some animals, especially gorillas, chimps, elephants, and
gray parrots. The author's previous book,
Rattling the Cage, forcused on primates, as many researchers and animal rights activists do. After all,
we share at least 98% of our DNA with chimpanzees. Other researchers are expanding our knowledge of animal cognition in
the octopus,
dolphins, even
dogs. See also:

When Elephants Weep.
