Mahouts, or elephant drivers, train elephants in the first mahout training school in Thrissur in the state of Kerala in south western India. 64 elephants live in a jungle sanctuary and are cared for by 177 mahouts. Elephants are assigned to one caregiver who will train, feed, bathe and drive it daily, a relationship that will “last a lifetime” between the elephant and its driver.

Gus, the winner of the World’s Ugliest Dog contest at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in northern California, has sadly passed away at the age of nine after a battle with cancer. A Chinese crested breed, Gus was a three-legged rescue pup from an abusive environment who went on to fame. RIP Gus.

Someone has inevitably created a piece of toast with Presidential Elect Barack Obama’s face on it, like the 2004 Virgin Mary’s face on toast that fetched $28k on eBay and went on to inspire countless copycats. Current bidding on eBay for this unoriginal item has reached $207.50. In case you’re interested in some inspiring imagery on your morning toast, there’s a pop art toaster that lets you select from general clip-art type pictures like smiley faces, a daisy, and hearts.
