Austrian cinema goes to the dogs

Vienna's dog owners can now share their favorite movies with their pets after Admiral-Kino, one of the city's old traditional cinemas, on Wednesday introduced the Austrian capital's first "Doggy Day" at the movies. Every first Thursday of the month, dogs will be allowed into the 95-year-old establishment to enjoy big screen adventures.
For €6 ($8,8) per biped and accompanying quadruped, special cuddle seats are available to the Viennese moviegoers and their best friend, complete with fresh water and dog popcorn for the four-pawed audience. The Admiral management also asked pet owners not to forget leashes and muzzles and only bring dogs who "liked the cinema and are friendly and agreeable companions".

About 100 of the woolly creatures formed an orderly ring - baffling the farmer and passers-by. But after hearing the roar of the boss's tractor the animals scattered like a group of naughty schoolboys.

Australian girl switches blood type after liver transplant

SYDNEY (AFP) - An Australian girl spontaneously switched blood groups and adopted her donor’s immune system following a liver transplant in the first known case of its type, doctors treating her said Thursday.
Demi-Lee Brennan was aged nine and seriously ill with liver failure when she received the transplant, doctors at a top Sydney children’s hospital told AFP.
Nine months later it was discovered that she had changed blood types and her immune system had switched over to that of the donor after stem cells from the new liver migrated to her bone marrow.
She is now a healthy 15-year-old, Michael Stormon, a hepatologist treating her, told AFP. Stormon said he had given several presentations on the case around the world and had heard of none like it.
