Barley, the golden retriever, lost her spunk once she started taking medication. But when Justin and Tori Cannarelli, of New York, brought Louie, a duckling, home for a short visit, the bird and the dog immediately bonded – and Barley was once again good as gold. @SteveHartmanCBS reports on a healing friendship that transcends species.

COLBERT: How dumb do you think it is for people to say that I should run for president? OBAMA: Well, you know, the bar has changed. I think you would perform significantly better than some folks we've seen. COLBERT: Is that an endorsement? OBAMA: It was not

For centuries, the English city of Newcastle was a hard-scrabble industrial powerhouse that built ships. It was also the hometown of the rock musician Sting, who as a young man witnessed the city's shipbuilding business dry up. He's paid homage to his town's heritage by writing and starring in @LastShipMusical, which he's now taking on an international tour. He talks with Mark Phillips about his long career, and why he can't stop working. cbsnews.com/news/sting-embar…
