Transcript:
More than 400 people entered a Jan. 29, 2012, ice fishing tournament in Escanaba, Mich., USA, and a single 4.5 ounce perch was the only catch made! 93-year-old Tom Harrison of Salt Lake City, Utah, USA, received seven military medals in 2011- more than 60 years after his service in World War II! Champis, a dwarf rabbit, lives on a farm in Kal, Sweden and herds the farm's sheep as a sheepdog would!

Just reinforces that sheep are unbelievably dumb.
That 4.5 ounce fish should have been set free as I doubt it would be a legal catch.

Well, at least it’s not a pig herding sheep…

Good for Mr. Harrison ! We should always remember to give thanks to all of our vetrans who have served their country.Even though it was late, I’m glad he was still alive when he received them. On a secondary note, my dad won the bronze star back in January 1945. Although he has since passed on, I’m glad he was alive for many years after he received it !

I’ve seen the video. It looks more like the rabbit is chasing the sheep around for gits and shiggles than actually herding them.

Google is your friend. Mr. Harrison actually fought the Japanese and was a POW. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/11/14/utah-man-receives-war-med_0_n_1092723.html

This is my problem with veterans bills. The guys who sat behind desks in the states get the same rewards as the guys who served on the front lines. The government version of a flat tax.

That wasn’t a fish; it was bait.

That miniature rabbit looks cute herding those sheep. Mr. Harrison did much bravery for his country. He deserves even more medals.
