Great story. At our rehab center, we once needed to fit a red tailed hawk with a pair orthopedic sandals. We named him Birkenstock!

This is definitely a "feel good" story. It certainly brightened up my day. Thanks for firing this out Alicia.

Maybe Teva could come out with a "Lucky edition" line of footwear that carries the same color scheme as the one Lucky utilizes. They could donate a portion of the sales to animal preservation or some other good cause that is related. I would definitely snag up a pair for me and the wife.

Teva makes good stuff. I love my Omniums. Nice to see a company cares not only about its customers but also about the other critters out there. As always good stuff.

I'm glad you guys enjoyed this story too.

I admit it, I can't help but say "awww..." and smile when I look at the little penguin.
