Foxes aren't usually known to hang around humans too often, but if a little one gets his head stuck in a glass jar, that aversion can change in a hurry.

Fox With Head Stuck in Jar

As you probably guessed by the headline and intro above, two men walking along a dirt road in Russia came upon a red fox with its head stuck in a jar.

The fox walked toward the duo, at which point one of the men bent down, grabbing the jar, pulling the scruff of the animal's neck back and freeing it.

As the kit scampered away, the man joked in Russian, "Where's my thank you?" Watch the clip above, and remember, folks ... please don't litter, okay?

The cockatiel in the following video does not whistle while he works.

But he does whistle while he plays, entertaining the Internet over the past few weeks with the theme from a Japanese animated series titled "My Neighbor Totoro."

Watch the bird do his thing now and compare it to a Corgi getting the hiccups. Which is cuter?!?

Bird Whistles "My Neighbor Totoro"

Forget fabric softener Jesus and piece of toast Jesus, a Reddit user has posted a photo of his pug's behind that sure looks as if it's in the shape of the Son of God.

Might this be Photoshopped? Sure.

Might our eyes be playing tricks on us, like when they saw Hitler in a teapot? It's possible.

But might this be the sign from above that so many have been searching for over the year? Okay, probably not. But stare away at the butthole sort ot from heaven now anyway:

There's simply nothing funnier to a baby than a snoring dog.

Well, with the possible exception of a dog running around.

Or a piece of paper being ripped. You get the idea.

Bottom line, though? A snoring dog is guaranteed comedic gold if you're in the one-year-old age range, and watching the young one's reaction is gold for all ages.

So enjoy this oldie but goodie to start off your Friday!

Baby Laughs at Snoring Dog

The heaviest cat in Britain was officially forced to go on a diet.

Ulric's goal is to weigh 13 pounds, an optimum amount for a feline. Which means he'll have to lose 17, or 56.6% of his body weight. Is he up to the challenge?

Every journey starts with a single step, Ulric.

After reaching 30 pounds, Ulric's owner, Jan Mitchell, entered him in PDSA Pet Fit Club where 21 animals participate in a six month diet and exercise plan.

Hopefully, healthy recipes and regular chasing of toy mice will help him get to the promised land and raise awareness for the growing epidemic of animal obesity.

Sorry, Kim Kardashian and Kate Middleton.

No matter what happens next month, you will no longer have the most talked-about births on the Internet.

A kitten with two faces was born in Amity, Oregon on Tuesday. He has been aptly named "Deucy" and arrived with just one body and a healthy set of organs.

A dog takes a few bites out of a lemon in the following home video and it's unclear whether or not he actually likes the treat.

But it couldn't be more obvious that we like to watch him try it.

Watch the pooch continually give the piece of fruit a lick here, only to snap back as if in fast forward. It's not as cute as a Corgi getting the hiccups... but it's sort of close:

Dog Freaks Out Over Lemon

Four puppies left in a dumpster to die were reunited with their mother.

The circumstances are unclear, but the four orphaned puppies were brought into Animal Control by a Good Samaritan who found them in the garbage.

Meanwhile, Pinal County (Ariz.) Animal Care and Control says that the mother dog was reported missing by its owner on Tuesday of last week.

“It’s heartbreaking,” said Wendy Sowder of the Bark Side Rescue, the awesomely-named group which cared for the puppies in their mother’s absence. 

“We try so hard to save lives; people just want to throw them away.”

It takes a lot to distract from Stacy Keibler. Seriously, George Clooney knows how to pick em.

But a dog photobombing the actress by leaping into the water in the background while she poses for a photo in Colorado?

Yup. That'll do it.

"I got #photobombed by a belly-flopping dog!" Keibler wrote on Instagram this week along with the above, adorable shot.

It could have been worse, of course. It could have been Craig Sager.

Brandi Glanville is blaming the recent disappearance of her dog on her assistant, who she has now fired for failing to take better care of the beloved pet.

The 23-year-old ex-assistant says that as of Saturday, "I no longer work for Brandi. She texted me saying that I didn’t do my job by losing the dog."

And we thought getting fired via Skype was bad.

This all started when Brandi Glanville's Encino home was burglarized last week. She was in Palm Springs, and someone made off with her Chihuahua Chica.
