Boston is currently still recovering after the awful bombing that happened during the city's marathon on Monday.

People from all over are pitching in to help, though some non-people are helping out too.

That's right, comfort dogs trained by the Lutheran Church Charities are now in the city, helping those affected by the awful tragedy.

Dang, the dolphins at SeaWorld can't get a break these days!

PETA recently filed a complaint to the U.S. Department of Agriculture against San Antonio's SeaWorld on behalf of a bottlenose dolphin that was rockin' an exposed injury on its nose.

And while the organization was in complete discontent over the hurt dolphin, they expressed that the incident is violating the Animal Welfare Act, which states facilities should be free of any objects that could possibly harm an animal.

PETA's President, Ingrid E. Newkirk said:

Nakai, an 11-year-old Killer Whale, was severely injured at SeaWorld.

He apparently "came into contact with a portion of the pool" and scraped his chin so badly that it exposed "both underlying tissue and bone."

That is absolutely AWFUL!

We think it's horrible enough that they keep wild orcas and force them to perform for crowds, but when one of them gets hurt, it's too much.

He's apparently doing well and on tons of antibiotics but still, it should never have happened in the first place.

Check out the GRAPHIC video (above) to hear some theories on what exactly might have happened.

Chelsea Handler was at the beach recently, paddle boarding as apparently every celebrity ever does, when she ran into one scary situation.

She was attacked by a sea lion!!

She said:

"This summer, after recovering from my ACL surgery, I managed to sustain only one other bodily injury. I was innocently paddle boarding in the Pacific when suddenly a rogue sea lion leaped up and viciously attacked my leg."

So what happened? Did she egg it on somehow? Or accidentally whack it in the face with her paddle?

Africa is a very interesting cat.

Living in England, Africa lost the use of his legs when he was injured as a kitten.

But he was adopted by Judy and Alan Knowles, and that's when his life turned around!

The Knowles gave him specially made wheels in place of his hind legs. They've also built ramps all around their home so Africa can keep chugging along wherever he goes!

Nothing's going to keep this kitty down!

Looks like he won't be having another after all…

I'll Have Another has been scratched from Saturday's Belmont Stakes, marking an end on the colt's bid to become the first Triple Crown champ since 1978.

The horse's trainer, Doug O'Neil, revealed that I'll Have Another suffered from the beginning signs of tendonitis in his left front leg and the trainer and owner, J. Paul Reddam, decided to retire the horse for good.

O'Neil states the following about the decision process:

He looks great. He's sound. He went great this morning. He looks super (but) you just can't take a chance. He's too valuable of a horse and we love him to death like all of them.

You wouldn't run a horse if you think something might happen.

We're super glad that these trainers had the horse's long term health in mind and not just wanting a piece of history.

I'll Have Another will need at least a year to fully recover but we hope it goes smoothly!
