Terrifying Moment Stag Attacks Dog in Family's Backyard
A Colorado resident caught a shocking moment on camera when her family’s dog was attacked by a stag in their own backyard in Castle Pines, a suburb of Denver.Footage filmed by Tamar Peister shows the moment Luke, a Bernese mountain dog, is attacked by a male deer during rut season.The family can be heard screaming in horror in the footage.Peister said that she was filming the “large buck” in her yard, when Luke went out to the garden and was “immediately and viciously attacked.”Luke had to get stitches and medication for the deep cut caused by the attack, but is now doing fine.Peister was later interviewed by CBS about the experience, and she said that “the wildlife is beautiful, but we just have to be really careful.”She added that the veterinarian caring for Luke thought the thickness of the dog’s fur prevented the deer’s antlers from seriously injuring or killing him.

Elton John reveals pain caused by name change
The Rocket Man singer admitted there was an unanticipated downside to ditching his birth name. Elton, 77, was born Reginald Kenneth Dwight in 1947 but legally changed his name to Elton Hercules John on 7 January 1972. "Reginald is a really old-fashioned name," Elton told Good Morning America in a new interview airing this week. "It's shortened to Reggie, which I hated. I just didn't like it, and as soon as I could, I changed my name.". However, the singer-songwriter revealed his decision "caught up" to him just as he was about to go on stage for a now-historic show at LA's Dodger Stadium in 1975.
