Room 13 News

The Dog Who Saved a Boy
by: Mary Kate and Grace

In British Colombia, there was a boy who was 11 and his name was Austin.  He and his dog, Angel, went outside to get firewood when a cougar jumped out from the woods and charged at Angel. The dog and the cougar battled for about 20 minutes! The mom thought the dog was dead because he was not moving.  She called the cops so the cougar wouldn’t hurt other people.  When the cops came he shot the cougar and the dog was okay.

Ice(d) Hockey?
by: Andrew B. and Bradford

You have heard of playing ice hockey over the frozen ice, but under it, how did that happen? Back in 2011, ice hockey players from cold places like Finland, Czech Republic, and Germany started playing ice hockey beneath the frozen ice. This game was created in Austria, and was made to be a new competitive and extreme sport. This sport can only be played in cold places or the ice will melt. The sport is competitive for different countries around the world. The players use a Styrofoam puck that stays on the ice. The players who are under water have to come up every thirty seconds for air. To find out more go to www.dogonews.com.
