Slog - Comments on Happy Feet http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/04/happy_feet Lala is a 14-year old king penguin rescued from a fishing line by a Japanese family. After they nursed the bird back to health, it refused to leave their home. Now Lala the pet penguin wears a penguin backpack on his way to the fish market to pick up fresh seafood for his adopted family and grab a snack for himself. Penguins got soul....

Seriously, any animal that small that can swallow a whole fish that large must leave some nasty droppings.

Still, it IS a cute story. And even more amazing considering Lala has survived for 10 years in an urban environment without getting run over.

I always used to want a one for a pet. That impractical desire has now been rekindled. Thank you!

He might as well be human.
