NewsDepth’s Most Popular Stories of 2012-13!

Thank you for bringing NewsDepth into your classroom this year, and for all of your great emails and letters – all 8,300 of them!

The story that really stuck with you this season? Odin the Peanut Butter Eating Dog! Odin received 148 comments from our viewers, only two more than Ginny, Porter and Monty, those New Zealand shelter dogs that were taught to drive cars. Third on your list of favorites was a story about two animals with unique talents – Duke the bulldog who loves his sled and Eddie the basketball-dunking otter.

Join us this fall for Season 44 of NewsDepth!
