A dog is recovering after swallowing its owner's $5,000 wedding ring.Tina Burlett thought the ring had been stolen at first,and called the police.But her grand-mother insisted that Missy,the family's pit bull,should be considered a suspect,given her habit of chewing and gnawing everything in sight.Sure enough,an X-ray of Missy's abdomen revealed the ring,and vomiting was induced.It's not an unusual thing, said veterinarian Dr. Linda Fung.We just made her throw it up.

Michael Jackson is seeking inner peace through the study of Islam.Jackson,who moved to Bahrain after being acquitted of child-molestation charges in California,was introduced to the religion by his brother Jermaine,who converted 18 years ago."When I came back from Mecca I got him a lot of books," Jermaine says. "He read everything,and he was proud of me that I had found something that would give me inner strength and peace.I think it is most probable that Michael will convert to Islam." Jackson is buying property in the Middle Eastern country,and friends say he may settle there permanently.
