This just in: Willie Bean has been selected as one of the Creatures Small and Great of 2008.  Everyone here is super excited to hear the news and encourages everyone to go Vote once again for Willie Bean Roscoe P. Coltrane on AOL News! 

With political campaigns dominating so much of the year, it’s not surprising that even a dog got into the action. A yellow Labrador retriever named Willie Bean Roscoe P. Coltrane ran for mayor of an Alabama town. And he was only one of the animals making headlines in ’08 -– from a snake that swallowed a family pet in front of two horrified children to a loyal dog that remained by her master’s side for weeks after his death. See 2008 animal stories and vote for your favorite.
