Could dog hair solve the energy crisis?

Well of course it couldn't.

But here's a funny take on the topic of dog sheddings from Jeffrey Shaffer that appeared in the Christian Science Monitor.

Assuming your vacuum cleaner fills up as quickly as mine does (well, when I use it, anyway), assuming you, too, have wondered how dog hair ends up in places the dog has never been; assuming you, like Shaffer, wonder if the shed hairs take on a life of their own and self-replicate, you'll probably get a kick out of it.

Just brush that dog hair off your computer terminal, and click here.

About Jill Rosen
Jill Rosen is a reporter at The Baltimore Sun. During her nearly 20 years in journalism, she has covered news and features — including a surprising number of stories that involved animals. There were the dog Christmas carolers in State College, Pa. There were the hounds who toured with a production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The story of a preschool teacher at Baltimore’s Father Kolbe School who had to replace her class guinea pig, who died over the winter holiday. A harrowing tale of what it was like to make homemade pet food ...

Though her clean freak of a mother refused to allow her to get a dog, she has had a number of pets through the years, including goldfish named Bob and Fingle, a betta fish named Ichabod, a wild rat terrier named Wendel, who she shared with a roommate, and, currently, sweet, sweet kitties named Leo Sesame and Milo Pumpkin and a little rescued pup named Teddy Bean. She, Leo, Pumpkin and Teddy Bean live in Baltimore.
