Someone who's a bit of a... grump.Now who likes to snatch pussies?
Orkney has a stoat problem, and Macca the Fox Terrier has been flown in from New Zealand to help get rid of them.
It is the first time in the UK a dog has been used for the task.
Stoats are native to the British mainland but are a menace to small creatures like voles, hen harriers and short-eared owls in Orkney.
Macca does not kill stoats, but indicates their location to his handler. This helps conservationists to decide where to set humane traps.
He has been finding stoats in New Zealand, the only other place where the animal is an invasive species, for over two years.
Noooooooo! Behemoth, the huge black cat who lives in the Bulgakov museum in Moscow, has been abducted!

I can only assume that promenading a pig through town with a lead is completely acceptable.A man has been charged with walking a pig along a busy city street in Norwich - without a lead.

Yep, we all have pet pigs in CromerWell, it is Norfolk after all.
Emergency services received a call on Thursday from the man, who claimed he was being chased down the street by the tiny animal.
Police in Karlsruhe said the unnamed man called them in desperation after he was unable to shake off the small rodent.
Officers sent a patrol car out to investigate and arrived to find the chase still in full flow. But the drama ended suddenly when the squirrel, apparently exhausted by its exertions, lay down abruptly and fell asleep.
Police appeared more amused than alarmed. “A squirrel will be our new mascot, it will be christened Karl-Friedrich,” said the police write-up. “The squirrel has fallen asleep in fright.”
Officers took the sleeping Karl-Friedrich into police custody, and then to an animal rescue centre, where it was said to be doing well.
Normal For Norfolk.
A man has been charged with walking a pig along a busy city street in Norwich - without a lead.
Norfolk Police were called to Prince of Wales Road on Wednesday and found the untethered pig "running around" with a dog, which bit one of the officers.
The man was arrested and later charged with highways and public order offences, and having a dangerously out-of-control dog.
The pig was taken away by the RSPCA and the man will appear in court later.
Officers were called to reports of a man being abusive to members of the public at about 10:10 BST on Wednesday.

That looks like a lightning strike. Poor thing!Moose are tough.
This photograph of one from near Anchorage, Alaska has been floating around for a while. Various suggestions have been made, the most popular being that it survived bear attack, a tick infestation or a lightning strike!
