This South African Man Saved his Dog before returning for his wife
The question of who you would rescue first if
your wife and mom are involved in an accident is a question that is always popping
up in everyday discussions. Graham, a South African was recently faced with an
almost similar circumstance – he had to make a decision between going for his
dog or his wife – guess what? He decided to save his dog before coming back for
his wife.

country's most dangerous stretches of ocean along the Transkei coast on August

Dubai Football Club, Al Nasr offers $2.3m to sign West Brom star Osaze Odemwingie
Dubai football club Al Nasr has increased its
offer to sign Nigerian striker Peter Osaze Odemwingie from English club West
Bromwich Albion, just days after negotiations with the Premier League club had stalled.
In the last few days, Al Nasr entered into
fresh talks to sign the 32-year-old footballer, the Express & Star news
paper reported.
The UAE club previously made a bid of
£850,000 ($1.31m), which was rejected as too low by West Bromwich Albion
officials. Al Nasr officials are now believed to have increased their offer to
£1.5m ($2.3m) in a bid to sign the player, the report said.
Another potential stumbling block is the fact
Odemwingie is believed to be reluctant to move abroad and is keen to remain
playing in the English Premier League.
