And Finally... Goldfish lives out of water for seven hours

By James Shepherd on Aug 26, 09 10:45 AM in News

A goldfish which leaped five feet out of its bowl survived after spending seven hours on the floor.

Paula Dunster, 46, noticed her pet Sparkle was missing but assumed her partner had removed it to clean the bowl.

Hours later she realised the bowl was still empty and headed for the pet shop to buy a replacement.

The store owner told her goldfish often make a "bid for freedom" and that she should have a good look in the vicinity of the bowl.

Paula, of Redcar, Cleveland, went back home - and found Sparkle behind a dresser, covered in fluff and dog hair.

She decided to rinse it off before flushing it down the toilet, when she noticed the fish was still alive. Paula, a spiritual healer, said: "I couldn't believe it."

Her daughter Kelly, 15, claimed the "miracle" was down to her mum's special powers.
