Reunited: Mike Plas of Thunder Bay in Ontario, Canada, lost his dog Jack in 2015 when Jack disappeared from his yard. When Jack didn't come home, Mike had to face the fact that he might never see his canine friend again. Imagine his surprise when, four years later, he got a call from an animal hospital located in Winnipeg, Manitoba – 800km away. They had found a dog with a microchip that contained Mike's contact information. Mike drove all the way to the hospital and was reunited with Jack, who whined and jumped, and gave him lots of doggy kisses. It was a happy reunion! Making up time: Jenny Wilson and Kath Millns lived all their lives only 20 minutes away from each other near Rothingham in England. However, the twin sisters in their seventies didn't know each other. Kath never knew she had a twin, but at age 11, Jenny had discovered that their mother had placed them for adoption when they were born. Jenny’s daughter, Nicole O'Halloran, initiated a search on social media, and eventually found Kath. Since their emotional reunion, the sisters have become very close, visiting each other's homes regularly and going out for coffee.

Arctic adventure: Adventure tourists looking for a little luxury might want to call a travel agency called Luxury Action. The Scandinavian company plans to place portable “igloos” on the ice at the North Pole during the month of April. The igloos are heated and have glass walls and ceilings so guests can admire the northern lights in the Arctic sky. Those interested in the adventure, which also includes hikes on glaciers and wildlife sightings, will fly in by helicopter. Guests hoping to stay there will need plenty of money. The trip costs about US$100,000 per person.

Did you know? Plant-eater: The Iguanodon was a dinosaur that lived in the Cretaceous Period. Fossils have been found around the world. The first one was discovered by Mary Mantell in Sussex, England, in 1822. The Iguanodon was a herbivore. Big tree: The Hollow Tree is a famous stump of a western red cedar tree. Located in Stanley Park in Vancouver, on Canada's west coast, it is about 1,000 years old. People stand inside the tree and get their pictures taken. Exploding pod: The invasive Himalayan balsam (Impatiens glandulifera) has a seedpod that explodes when disturbed. Native to India and the western Himalayas, it is found elsewhere in Asia, North America and Europe. Foggy view: When the lens in a person's eye becomes cloudy, usually that means they have a cataract. Cataracts are common. They form slowly, cause blurry or foggy vision, and can be fixed with surgery. Twisting winds: Tornados are funnel-shaped columns of rotating air that descend from thunderclouds. When they touch the ground, they move forward and can destroy anything in their paths.
