Goldfish Survives Seven Hours Out Of Water
Updated : Aug 27, 2009
A goldfish managed to survive for seven hours on the floor after jumping five feet out of it's bowl.
Paula Dunster, 46, noticed Sparkle was missing but assumed her partner was cleaning the bowl.
After a few hours she realised Sparkle was still nowhere to be found and decided to buy a replacement.
The store worker told her to check the vicinity to make sure the fish hadn't made a "bid for freedom".
Paula, of Redcar, Cleveland, went home - and found Sparkle covered in fluff and dog hair.
Just as she was about to flush it down the toilet, she noticed the fish was still alive.
She told the Daily Mirror: "I couldn't believe it."
Her daughter Kelly, 15, claimed the "miracle" was down to her mum's special powers as she works as a spiritual healer.
