JACKSON, MS (WLBT) - Jackson-based animal rescue group Community Animal Rescue and Adoption will be featured on the Animal Planet show "Confessions: Animal Hoarding" Friday.

Two animals rescued during the show will also appear on WLBT’s Midday Mississippi Friday as our Pets of the Week.

The mom and daughter rats -- Jackie and Tater -- are two of dozens rescued from a local hoarder as part of the show.

The show, which explores stories of people who own more pets than they can care for, will feature a woman who had 13 cats, 12 dogs and about 50 rats in her Me

It took a brave group of dentists to perform a root canal on a big tooth and very big patient Friday.

The Jackson Zoo's male Sumatran Tiger, Kipling, needed to have some dental work done, according to the zoo.

Doctors Michael Holifield, the zoo's veterinarian, Becky Holifeld, Lynn Johnson and Andrew Duke, who practices veterinary dentistry in Mobile, Ala., performed the procedure, the zoo says.

It's a great time to visit Kipling and all the other animals at the Jackson Zoo -- admission is currently half off.
