Meet Sima the raccoon and Martin the fox, two housepets in living in the home of Olga Babkina in the Russian city of Pskov. Sima and Martin joined a house already full of pets, including a ferret, a dog, and four cats, but the two two cunning animals have become quite fond of one another. They have many things in common, including their love of clambering and climbing, their impeccable table manners, and, believe it or not, their love of garlic!

Acupuncture is hugely popular at Shangai's newly opened Pets TMC Centre, with staff receiving special training on how to poke long metal needles into puppies all as part of the ancient Chinese tradition.

It's not an exact science, and the procedure definitely has its detractors, but there were plenty of happy customers singing its praises.

Sinogene, a lab based in Beijing, became the first to clone a dog through gene-editing technology, which allows them to identify, copy, and reproduce genetic information from dogs. The first cloned canine, a beagle pup named Longlong, was born in May and two others followed suit. Gene-editing technology has many potential uses, allowing rare dog breeds to become more widespread, cloning of irreplaceable pets, and even removing genetic diseases before birth.
