Holy fish paste! This is super cray cray!

A poodle-bichon mix is one lucky duck pooch after getting an unexpected ride to Providence, RI.

A Massachusetts driver saw the pup dart into the street and slammed on his brakes. Thinking he missed the dog, he continued to drive across state lines to Rhode Island.

That's when a second driver flagged the car down, telling the driver that the poor doggie was stuck!!!

And it's called Ketchup!!!! Ok, maybe not…LOLz!

Corndog, an anteater at Roger Williams Park Zoo, delivered her first child April 5th.

Staffers say the pup is healthy and Corndog gave birth right on schedule. The pup will stay on mama's back for most of its first year of life and soon, Corndog will be able venture around freely.

Giant anteaters are listed as a "vulnerable" species so seeing a babe from the resident female is good news for the zoo and the species!

Congratulations on being a new mama, Corndog!

This is such terrible news.

An 8-month-old Labrador retriever named Luna was electrocuted and subsequently killed while walking over a manhole cover in Providence, Rhode Island.

Nick Penna drove by and stopped when he saw the frantic dog owner as the poor pup convulsed and howled in pain in the middle of the street.

He told reporters:

"We thought maybe she had some glass in her foot or there was a frozen piece of ice in her foot because was just howling and looking at her feet."

Unfortunately, after they tried to pick the dog up to move her they realized it was much worse than that.

"I felt the same current of electricity coming through my fingers. I said this is electrical in nature. I said something is going wrong with the dog standing on top of this manhole cover."

Luna died after she arrived at a veterinarians office 35 minutes later. So sad!

Apparently, there was a short in a frayed wire underground connecting to a nearby pole and Luna was standing in a puddle which conducted the electricity.

Watch the news story above for all the details on this tragic story.
