Loyal dog springs owner from jail

When someone is arrested, it’s not uncommon for a loved one to come down and pay bail or plead for their release. And such was the case when a Dominican man was taken into custody by police for violating curfew—except his loved one was of the canine variety. As seen on a police Facebook video, the dog strolls in confidently and begs for his owner’s release. It worked. “You know why I’m going to let him go? Because anyone can come here, and that dog came and told me [the man] was his. And that’s why I’m going to let him go,” said police colonel José Francisco de la Cruz Mercedes. “This is the first time I have handed over a prisoner to a dog.” The man, for his part, reportedly promised to behave going forward. Do you have your own pooch? Brush up on these 15 everyday habits of great dog owners.

Cat accidentally becomes a god, goes viral

Clyde, a fluffy white kitty, went viral on Twitter when his owner, Amanda Hyslop, posted a photo she’d taken of him. By chance, she’d managed to catch his reflection perfectly in the window while photographing clouds, making it appear that the cloud-like cat had ascended to his rightful throne in the sky. “Took a pic of the cat lookin’ out the window and accidentally turned him into some sort of god,” she tweeted. People loved Clyde’s regal pose. He hasn’t let the 1.5 million likes go to his head, though, as Hyslop showed in a second picture of him lounging on his back in the sun. What else will make you smile? These hilarious cat memes you’ll laugh at every time.

Parrots put in time-out for cursing

Five African grey parrots—Billy, Eric, Tyson, Jade, and Elsie—recently had to be separated for “encouraging each other to swear” at patrons at the Lincolnshire Wildlife Center in the U.K. “We are quite used to parrots swearing, but we’ve never had five at the same time, and for some reason these five relish it,” Steve Nichols, the zoo’s chief executive, told the AP. People were mainly entertained by the potty-mouthed parrots. “When a parrot tells you to ‘f— off,’ it amuses people very highly; it’s brought a big smile to a really hard year,” he said. But for the sake of children, the zoo decided it was best to put the birds in separate enclosures until they can behave. Fun fact: Former U.S. president Andrew Jackson kept an obscene parrot as a pet!

Spy pigeon exonerated, set free

A Pakistani pigeon was arrested by Indian law enforcement on suspicion of being a spy. The bird flew over the contentious border and was apprehended due to a suspicious ring around its ankle printed with numbers. The numbers were actually the cell phone number of the pigeon’s owner. After a thorough investigation, the pigeon was deemed not a threat to national security and was set free. “It was just an innocent bird,” police told Reuters. But before you laugh it off, you should know that this wasn’t the first case of avian espionage in the area: In 2016, a pigeon was taken into Indian custody after it was found with a note threatening Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. While we’re on the topic (sort of), check out the 9 ways you didn’t realize the government could be spying on you.

The cutest coronavirus rule enforcers ever

There’s not much that’s funny about the coronavirus pandemic and all the new rules surrounding it these days, but dogs in Finland are providing airline passengers with a dose of humor and entertainment—all while checking on their health. The dogs are trained to sniff out the coronavirus and alert their handler when a person has it. They’re remarkably accurate, and it only takes them a few seconds to smell the virus, said Anna Hielm-Bjorkman, a University of Helsinki professor of equine and small animal medicine. Hey, if we have to get screened everywhere we go, then we definitely vote for screening by pupper; it’s way more fun than a temperature gun. Here are the signs you may have already had COVID-19.

Cat vs. Monk: Who will break first?

A Thai Buddhist monk was just trying to say the (five-hour-long) prayer for New Year’s when one of the temple cats decided it needed attention right then. The orange kitty crawled all over the monk as he tried desperately not to lose concentration, delighting viewers all over the world watching this interaction stream on Facebook. The cat would not be ignored and climbed up the monk’s robe, kneaded his shoulder, and then blocked his scripture book so he would have no choice. Finally, the monk relented and gave it some pets and scritches. Respect for all living beings is a key tenet of Buddhism, and the monk later said he has a soft spot for the “fat and pampered” temple cats. These are the 17 things your cat really wants from you.

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the fattest bear of all?

Fat Bear Week, hosted every year by the Katmai Conservancy, allows the public to vote for which Alaskan bear will be the chunkiest before going into hibernation. After making a donation to a charity, people got to vote for one of the “Lardaceous Leviathan Levels Chunky Challengers.” On “Fat Bear Tuesday” (this year, it was October 6), the adipose award went to Bear 747, affectionately nicknamed Jumbo Jet. The brown bear weighs at least 1,400 pounds—something that will help him make it comfortably through the cold winter. Check out this heartwarming story of how one bear befriended a backpacker.

Toad steals shoe, woman’s heart

Jabba the toad first claimed Sita Hood’s old running shoe as her home last year, catching flies by day and lounging in comfort by night. At first, Hood thought it was a fluke and assumed the toad would hop away over the next day or two. Jabba ended up staying the entire summer before going somewhere else to hibernate. It was a cute story, but Hood was in for a big surprise when Jabba returned the following spring and jumped back into her old shoe. Hood says it’s no longer her shoe anymore but Jabba’s home. She even made a sign for the amphibian so people wouldn’t accidentally dump her out. “Donating my shoe was no big deal,” Hood told the Dodo. “If it afforded her comfort or protection, why not?” These 13 unlikely animal adoptions will melt your heart.

Dog makes the most memorable moment at a wedding

Weddings are about love, sure, but after that, they’re all about commemorating the event through pictures that will encapsulate the couple’s special day. Freya decided to do just that when her human parents brought her to their wedding. She was an adorable usher, but then, in the middle of the ceremony, nature called and she did what dogs do: She pooped on the lawn. The photographer accidentally captured the event mid-squat, as Freya was framed by the bridal party. People thought it was hilarious and gave her a round of applause when she finished her business. While what Freya did was a little rude, you should avoid these 15 rude habits of dog owners.

Octopus shakes rescuer’s hand

An Egyptian couple found an octopus stranded on a beach and decided to move it back to deeper waters. It looked near death, and they were worried about their new friend, so they went back to check on it the next day, only to discover it was alive and well. Perhaps the octopus had been looking for them, too, because for the next hour, it followed them along the beach, occasionally reaching out a tentacle to “shake hands” (or high-one?). After appropriately thanking its rescuers, it headed back out to sea. Do you know these 27 “facts” about animals that are actually all wrong?

Giant rat wins medal of honor

When British charity PDSA announced the winner of the Gold Medal, its top civilian award, people were surprised—mostly because the winner wasn’t a person at all, but a giant African pouched rat. Magawa was awarded the high honor for his diligent work searching out unexploded land mines in Cambodia. The nearly three-pound rat was presented with a tiny gold medal and commended for his “lifesaving bravery and devotion” after discovering 39 landmines and 28 items of unexploded ordinance in the past seven years, according to the charity. They also noted that when Magawa’s not saving lives, he enjoys snacking on peanuts and bananas and napping. Same, Magawa, same.

Cat breaks the Internet with an epic game of hide-and-seek

Jet-black cat Chiquinho has a superpower: hiding in plain sight. And people love playing hide-and-seek with him.

Chipmunk gets student a free pass out of class

Just before logging onto a Zoom class, Mackenzie Leedy spotted a chipmunk swimming in his pool. But it didn’t look like the little guy was freestyling for fun, and Leedy saw that he was starting to sink. Calling him “buddy,” he rescued him with a pool skimmer. But Buddy wasn’t out of the woods (er, pool area) yet and was shaking uncontrollably, rolled over on his back. Leedy wrapped him up in a towel and brought him walnuts. After showing Buddy to the class, his teacher took pity on him and let him go early to care for the chipmunk. Finally, the sun came out, and after eating a few nuts, the little guy was back on his way. “Every time I see a chipmunk, I kinda hope it’s him,” Leedy told the Dodo.

Dog proves that sometimes you just gotta be you

There’s always one person in every group picture who has to do their own thing, and the same is true for Shiba Inu siblings Hina, Sasha, Kikko, and Momo. Their human mom, Yoko Kikuchi, loves to take pictures of all four dogs lined up, but in every portrait, it seems like Hina is pulling a face or doing some pose that is completely opposite from her siblings. She’s definitely the spirit animal for some people we know. Love your doggo? Make sure you know the 15 things you do that your dog actually hates.

Monkeying around with a cell phone

Zackrydz Rodzi, a 20-year-old Malaysian man, plugged in his phone before going to sleep only to find the device missing the next morning. There were no signs of a break-in, and he had no idea who could have taken it. After his father mentioned that he had seen a monkey hanging around nearby, Rodzi searched the forest behind his house and found the phone buried in some mud. His uncle joked that maybe the monkey just wanted to take some selfies, so Rodzi checked the photo gallery. “I was shocked. The suspect’s face was plastered on the screen. It was hilarious,” he told the AP. No word on whether the ape mastered the “fish lips” pout or how to work his angles.

Snake wins at tag

Opening the front door of her Mississippi home, Christina Mitchell was surprised by a thump and something landing on her head. That something turned out to be a 10-inch rat snake that had dived off a plant over the door frame and tagged her “it.” Unlike most people, Mitchell didn’t panic and instead simply ushered the snake back outside. “He tried to bite at my broom whenever I put him outside. He probably thought that was really rude. We kind of had a stare-down,” she told the Enterprise-Journal. Is she up for round two of snakey tag? Absolutely. “I actually really like snakes. I think they’re fascinating,” she said. “I’ll just open my door really slowly from now on.” Can you spot the camouflaged snakes in these 10 pictures?

Doggo with posh standards invites himself to dinner

Who doesn’t prefer a relaxed dining experience? Murphy, a dog who belongs to Audrey Waito, certainly does. Waito posted a TikTok video of Murphy very carefully carrying his dinner bowl from the kitchen to the living room and jumping up on the couch—without spilling a single kibble—then settling in to veg out and snack. Waito says that Murphy got the idea from watching her and her daughter eat on the couch and decided that if they got to be comfy while eating, then so did he. Now it’s a tradition to eat together as a family.

Lions earn their keep selling their poop

Excrement from lions, tigers, and other big cats makes for an excellent pest deterrent—according to a German circus that is now selling jars of feline feces for 5 euros each. The circus can’t currently operate due to the pandemic, so they opened the pop-up poop shop as a way to keep their 26 lions and tigers fed and sheltered. Lion tamer Martin Lacey says happy customers have reported that it not only keeps small animals away from gardens and electrical cables, but it also works well for human pests. “Put some in the garden, and the neighbors will go away,” he jokingly told Reuters. Here are some other ways coronavirus is affecting the world’s endangered animals.

Diva rooster moves in, now runs home

It’s not uncommon to hear about wildlife wandering onto someone’s property. But a rooster? Strutting in through the front door? Yet, that’s exactly what Ronnie did at the Sanders family home. Once inside, he decided he was there to stay and was going to rule the roost—usually from his perch on the ceiling fan. “I instantly fell in love with him,” dad Chaz told the Dodo. “He follows us around like a dog and loves attention. He basically took over and now does whatever he wants.” And, yes, that includes waking up the whole house at dawn every day.

Who’s your new buddy? Oh, wait…

In a charming-turned-alarming video posted on social media, Zabelê, a Blue Heeler, brings a new friend over to play. From a distance, it appears to be a black Lab, but as the pair approaches, it becomes clear it is a jaguar. The two have actually been friends for a while, with Zabelê acting as a nanny of sorts to Luna, starting when she was a tiny kitten brought to the Instituto Onça-Pintada Reserve in Brazil, explains biologist Leandro Silveira. The pair bonded, and the doggo takes care of the jaguar—now much larger than herself—as if she were her own baby. Here’s how one dog saved a human relationship.

Funny stories about animals

Funny stories about animals are collected on our website. Read, smile, and maybe even laugh!


We have a cat - such a huge black fluffy cat. And we once bought him a half kilo of sprats at the market (Baltic, as I remember right now, this, as it turned out later, is important). Doesn't eat. They hid it in the freezer until the best (for the cat - the worst) times, then somehow got it out - again it does not eat. They threw it out and forgot about this sprat, in fact, he prefers lamb.
Today I'm walking through the market, turning into fish rows and I see this announcement:
"Kilechka (Caspian!) for cats and cats."
To my (yes, idle!) question about whether it is so important whether it is Caspian or what it is, I get the following answer: CATS DO NOT EAT BALTIC SPRATS!


Acquaintances of acquaintances of acquaintances bought a dog, the system “bald terribly expensive and scary little fucker”. 800 lats (about one and a half pieces of dollars) were given away, for a 2-month IT the size of a rat. To celebrate, we went to barbecue, at the same time to introduce the rat to nature, to walk. They sat down, drank, kebabs are fried, a bald rat-dog in the grass nearby balls around, actively looking for different poop. In general, everyone is happy, happy. Then a stork arrives, slowly approaches the touching owners (wow, how a bird trusts people!), grabs a rat dog with its beak and just as slowly flies away.
The f*cking father of the family is trying to catch up with the flying 800 lats, but, of course, without success...
So be careful. Storks not only bring children, but sometimes they also take them away… He has a Pikinese, heroically rescued by Misha during the battle and brought home. Pikines is torn, he rushes at everyone. Misha always saves and protects him. So it happened.
My neighbors in the dacha have the fruit of love between a shepherd dog and a wolf on a chain ... That fool! Everyone is afraid of him.
Misha and I are walking past the neighbors' house. This wolf, having broken the chain, rushes around the yard and frightens its owners. Seeing us, the wolf jumps over the fence and runs towards us. Further, as in a movie: a Pikinese jumps into Misha's arms, Misha (see the consequences of the special forces affected), protecting his neck, at the last moment puts his left hand forward. The wolf grabs Misha by the hand, I swung to kick the wolf, but I couldn’t with laughter - Misha grabbed the wolf by the nose with his teeth !! In the next moment, they absolutely synchronously fall on their asses, and just as synchronously, pushing off with their legs (paws), crawl away from each other! Alright man! BUT HOW DOES A DOG DO IT!!!
Eh! You should have seen those eyes! I never thought that the eyes of humans and dogs could be so big! And that they can express so much .. Then everyone whined: Misha, the wolf, the Pekinese.
And the rest laughed. Most of all laughed, or rather whinnied, an eighty-year-old granny! Even a local paramedic came running to give my grandmother a sedative injection.


I come home one evening, eat and go to the gym to watch TV. Father and mother play chess (they have such a joke), in general, a family idyll. As soon as I had time to open a bottle of Baltika, HE appeared. I can’t describe the appearance of our “cat” in another way. To warm up the audience, he tried three times to jump into the window, but each time he missed and fell back with a rumbling. Finally got ... into the window ... between the double frames. And somehow he stared at us with his huge eyes. I tried to get it - to no avail, the cat only in prostration began to sing something (I'm not lying to God). Our frames do not open, so swearing under my breath I took off the inner one. What does a normal cat do? That's right, makes legs. But not ours. For some reason, ours stood up on its hind legs, leaned against the glass, stared at me and ... began to periodically wink at me with its left eye! It starts to dawn on me that it smells like kerosene, my parents start arguing whether cats are going crazy. The cat, having heard his name, comes to his senses and jumps down from the windowsill. It jumps… but in flight it apparently forgets about the action it has started and crashes on the floor with some kind of doomed meow. With difficulty, he rises to his paws, suddenly looks at me with the expression “Man, you weren’t standing here” and somehow starts backing sideways towards the table with chess. Parents, seeing the approach of the blissful cat, affectionately call him by name and ... the cat with a wild cry (I'm not lying, it was just a cry) stands on outstretched paws and arches. And freezes ...
And then, this is not forgotten, in the manner of a clockwork, on straight legs, howling, “leaves” into the next room, where he vomited well. I will not describe how much water he then drank and how he was sausage.
The clue was found late in the evening, when I went out into the common yard. Two of our local junkies sat in the yard and argued which of them drank the “managua” (a decoction of hemp in milk) left in a bowl on the window to cool.
And since then our cat has shied away from milk!


History:
In my family, it just so happened that there are only two men: a dog and a cat. They adore each other tenderly, the same strong male friendship. Currently they live in the country.
The story itself:
My cat was inflamed with passion for a neighbor, a graceful miniature lady of a smoky blue color, he himself is a man at least somewhere - young, huge, fluffy and arrogant, but . .. his rival, even more huge and fluffy, has not given for the past few years. two weeks, not only to realize a burning passion, but even to approach the object of adoration, as evidenced by the traces of duels on the cat's body. This morning, we are walking with the Sheriff (this is my man who is not a cat), AND SEE: the seductress lies on the grass in the stunted shade of a bush, on the sides a meter from her on each side are the applicants. The dog, seeing his best friend, rushes to him with the intention of expressing his feelings, the charmer breaks through tetanus in the “h” position (the standard posture of straxa + aggression in cats), the rival, tail between his legs, runs away, and my cat, imposingly moving the dog with his tail in the muzzle (not up to you, friend, sorry), performs the volume (in the sense of hugging) a beauty petrified with horror. She, smitten on the spot by a superhuman, sorry, cat's courage and selflessness, immediately gives herself to the hero, not paying attention to strangers. Long live friendship between peoples, which is extremely effective in helping in personal life!!

Puppy savior.

I have a dog, Alabai breed. I recently learned that candles are lit for him in the church. And there is a reason for that. it happened when he was still a puppy; The mother of the child did not notice the loss and calmly began to cross the road. And here is a moron on a scooter, in winter, in the snow, with speeding, what else to call it? In short, this semblance of a man loses control, falls over and flies into the sled, thanks to my puppy, it is already empty. What did the mother go through in a few minutes, while people told her that the dog had pulled the child before the accident! The puppy, of course, went nuts when they began to kiss and hug him together with the child. I don't know if this is a coincidence or foresight, but I'm still leaning towards the latter. I have grown up to be a very smart dog.

Terribly kind dog.

We have a very kind dog, but signs like “Caution! Angry dog! ”, We don’t hang on the gate. So everyone is bypassed. And, all because he loves ketchup very much, and we fertilize all the food for him from the heart with this product. After such a meal, the dog's face is covered in ketchup. And there are simply no daredevils to approach the fence, behind which sits a dog with a "bloody" muzzle. And, kind, warm eyes only increase the feeling of horror in people.

Who has a squirrel?

A colleague, once, in winter, while jogging in the morning in the park, picked up a frozen squirrel. Why she did this is not clear. Maybe a collar, or I wanted to make a fur coat out of it, maybe according to the principle - everything will come in handy in the household, I don’t know. In general, she brought the frozen animal home and ran to work. And, in the meantime, the squirrel thawed, recovered and began to settle in a new home.
In the middle of the day, the husband of our colleague calls to work and asks if everything is all right with his wife's head, if there are any oddities and changes in her behavior.
Ah, the following came out. A woman baked pancakes in the morning for her beloved husband, who on that day should return from a business trip, wrote a note - “for you, beloved”, took a run in the park, brought a squirrel and galloped off to work.
Having recovered, the bun hung pancakes to dry for the winter wherever she could. She especially went out of her way in the hallway, on deer antlers, but when her husband entered the house, she got scared and hid. Of course, the man, having seen the design of pancakes and a note from his wife, began to doubt its adequacy. It must be said that our director gave the woman a day off that day and sent her home to calm her poor husband.

Crow impersonator.

I go out to work in the morning. Out of the corner of my eye I see, in the front garden, near the entrance, the cat is sitting under a birch. Well, he sits and sits, I move about my business. And I hear the cat meow. But, his “yav” turned out to be some strange, rude, hoarse. As if the cat has been smoking since childhood, and yesterday he also drank all night, and now he asks for a hangover. Of course, I looked back and took a closer look at the striped one. There was a new “meow”, the same creaky, but still “meow” and pronounced not by a cat, but by a crow sitting on a birch tree and looking at the cat with interest. It even seemed to me that the impudent bird was smiling cunningly and maliciously, mimicking and clearly mocking the cat.
It is a pity that at that time there were no phones with a photo camera. The muzzle of a crazed, discouraged and simply freaking cat had to be captured. Words can not describe, it had to be seen. I don’t know how long the crow teased the striped one, but I was whinnying all the way to work, remembering his face.

Brave puppy.

A puppy appeared in our house. Like all puppies, he loves to be naughty and mischievous. The husband pacifies him with slippers. Slightly slap on the back, not very hard and painful, but effective. The kid quickly understood what sneakers are and how they are used. Sometimes it is enough just to show this formidable weapon as a bully and the mischievous person immediately stops being outrageous.
We once went to the village shop and took the puppy with us. We had just left the gate when a neighbor's shepherd dog rushed towards us. In principle, she jumped up to us, so, without much aggression, but our pet immediately darted into a hole under the fence and rushed into the house. Well, of course, we thought, scared of a big dog. But it was not there. We look, our puppy is rushing back with slippers in its mouth. True, I couldn’t climb back into the hole under the fence, the slippers interfered. But, he was very indignant, angry and yapping. He apparently wanted the owner to give the slippers a good spanking of a big dog for misbehaving.

Squirrel.

A very brave squirrel, or maybe just impudent begging for cookies from people. He eats them right there, without fear or fear of anyone. Then it turns out that under the roof of the house, this squirrel made a nest for itself and even brought out squirrels. But, apparently, the owners who arrived at their dacha did not particularly arrange it as neighbors, although it seems that they received cookies from them. Whatever it was, the squirrel decided to drag the cubs to another, more secluded place.
P.S. As time has shown, in a new place the cubs have grown up and live well. Periodically visiting the owners of the cottage and begging for something tasty.
No squirrels were harmed in the filming of the video.

Crow parodist 2.

How the crow parodied the cat, meowing, has already been told here, but recently I was also a witness of the crow's parodic talent.
In our yard, as, probably, in any city yard, the owners walk their little dogs in the morning and in the evening. And these little sabachenki love to bark, just like that, at everything that moves, does not move, and just foolishly.
And then one day, returning from work, I observed such a picture. A large red cat, noticing a dove peacefully “grazing” in the lawn, quietly creeps up to him. Distance is still good. The cat periodically stops, tries to be invisible and generally merge with the landscape. In short, all in tension and attention. Ah, an interested crow gallops behind him. This continues for some time. And now the cat, lifts its butt above the body pressed to the ground and prepares for a decisive throw at the bird of the world. At this moment, a crow jumps up to him from the side and croaks in his ear with all its foolishness. Only not "CAR", but "GAF". Exactly like a dog. It was necessary to see how the cat jumped about a meter from the ground and rushed to the nearest tree to the laughter of people passing by. I think the crow was also neighing in its crow tongue.

Feathered drunk.

Some time ago we noticed such bad behavior in our parrot. He began to chew grains and throw this porridge into the water. There he also adds gruel from chewed apples or pears again. Waiting a few days for this canoe to ferment. Then he whips the resulting brew, climbs onto a branch and yells something in a bad voice. Moreover, it makes such sounds that the neighbors came to complain more than once. In any case, we have never heard such wild cries. During his binges, this hanyga also becomes aggressive. It rushes to the cage, if you come close, and the pencil with its beak easily cuts. Recently, they began to notice that he began to add bark and small twigs to his swill. Cognac, apparently, the bastard, is preparing.

Cultural dog.

In my distant childhood, we lived on the same landing with my mother's brother, Tobish, my uncle and his family. They often visited each other. Oh, my uncle had a dog, a German Shepherd named Caesar. Very smart and well trained dog. My mother always kept a treat for Caesar, on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator, in his individual bowl.
Once, my uncle came to visit us with Caesar, but my mother and I got so carried away discussing some problem that I completely forgot about my pet and his sweets. Caesar, like a polite dog, long and patiently waited for a treat, reminding of his presence only with mournful sighs. But, after some time, he apparently decided that from people distracted by not relevant at the moment, when the dog is not fed, conversations, treats will not wait, he decided to treat himself. He, quietly and modestly, went to the refrigerator. "Scrambled" the door with his paw. He pulled out a bowl of sweets with his teeth, put it on the floor, closed the refrigerator and treated himself with appetite.
Well, and then, apparently deciding that a cultured and well-mannered dog is the one who - "has eaten - clean up after yourself", took a bowl with his teeth and put it in the sink. Wash. That was such a smart and cultured dog.

Double split.

Walking with the dog. I notice that the dog is distracted by something. He turns his head to the side, does not look in front of him, but a parked car is standing in front. Well, I think, he learns the obstacle, or not? No, I didn't hear it. And so he slammed into her, as much as the signaling squealed. I laughed, but in vain. Soma immediately slammed into the pole. I’m sitting, counting the stars, and at this time the owner of the screeching car jumps out onto the balcony. Turns off the alarm and with a laugh gives out:
— Ah, but the owners and their dogs really look alike.

Crow fun.

I am sitting at home, cars suddenly howl under the window, one after another. I look out the window, and there the crow amuses itself. Takes off with an aluminum can in its beak and drops it from a height onto the roof of a car. the car has an alarm. the crow grabs the can again and throws it at the next car. Bored bird.

Don't go!!!

In the 90s, my wife and I got ourselves a dog, a Doberman. Well, then he was not a DOBERMANN, but a forty-day-old goat that fit in the palm of your hand. From the body of an old TV, I built a booth for him and put it in the corridor. The dog happily settled in it and lived there until it outgrew it.
When we got a puppy, my wife was out of work. But, then I found a job and, like me, began to leave in the morning, leaving the pet at home alone. He did not like this approach. At that time, the dog was 7-8 months old, a teenager, by human standards. And this canine teenager decided, to the best of his ability and understanding, to fight such bestial attitude towards himself. I always went to work for as long as he could remember and got used to it, so I focused on my wife. To begin with, he gnawed off her shoes. Due to his early childhood, he didn’t get off a lot, he got off with a verbal warning. But, I understood the main thing: the shoes had nothing to do with it, the hostess calmly left in other shoes. By the way, after this incident, he never ruined a single shoe again. True, he did not leave his attempts to detain the hostess of the house and switched to a bag, at night he gnawed through the belt of her bag. His wife, in the morning, calmly in front of his eyes, shifted all the contents into another bag and left. In the evening, as best I could, I repaired the damaged thing, since the puppy's teeth were sharp and he did not soak the strap, but cut it off like scissors. The next morning, the belt of another bag was gnawed, but the wife repeated yesterday's maneuver, shifted the contents from the damaged bag to the restored one. On the evening of that day, when we went to bed, both bags were intact. In the morning, I got up early, went out into the corridor and saw my wife's key on the floor. Surprised, why is she throwing keys around? He bent down to pick it up and noticed that there was something under the dog house. He fumbled and took out: his wife's wallet, her passport, powder box, cosmetic bag, lipstick and other contents of her bag. All whole and not damaged. Pyosel, I realized that it was not about the bags, but about the contents, at night, opening the flap of the Velcro bag, pulled everything out and hid it. And the flat key, apparently, could not then lift it with its mouth. If not for this key, then we would not have understood where the things had gone, either lost or stolen. After that, the pet put up with our departures for work and did not make any more attempts to keep his wife at home. He just met us with a joyful squeal on the threshold and a reproachful look in his eyes: here, they say, you are walking down the street all day, and I, the poor fellow, am sitting here alone locked up.

Is it a coincidence?

We have a cat, a Scottish breed and a petit dog - Brabancon. Kindest animals. They make friends with each other and with people. The dog always, when you come home from work, and she joyfully jumps at the door, meets. In winter, the cat gave birth to three kittens. It just so happened that we didn’t immediately distribute them to anyone and they lived with us until they were a month old. Every evening, he and Martha, that's the name of the dog, ran to the door to meet me from work. But, although it is a pity, it was still necessary to give them away. And it just so happened that three days in a row I came home from work with a new owner for one kitten. On the fourth day, when all three kittens were already taken away, I come, but no one meets me. Well, okay, the kittens were handed out, but where is the dog? I call her, she doesn’t run, only the cat looks out of the room. I began to look for Martha and found it under the sofa. He sits in the corner, his eyes are frightened. The dog made a logical conclusion: every evening they take away one kitten, and yesterday the kittens ended, so she is next. Barely calmed down.

Leave the bear alone!

I'll tell you a story, only you don't laugh too much. The hero of this story was clearly not funny.
In Canada, in one of the national reserves there lived a bear, a grizzly breed. And everything seems to be nothing, but he was this albino bear. Well, it is understandable that this did not bother him much and did not affect his life, until one, very smart, group of American tourists came out to the poor fellow.
They decided that it was their compatriot, a polar bear, who got lost and came to Canada from Alaska. Without hesitation and without asking the administration of the reserve, they called the buddies of all the animals - the Greenpeace people.
They also apparently were YESEI, so, without straining their brains, they also shot an albino bear with a paralytic syringe and gathered volunteers and transported the sleeping bear to Alaska. Well, as if in their habitat. And with a sense of accomplishment they went home.
And that's where the humor with chernukha began.
Grizzlies, by their nature, are not adapted to live in permafrost at elevated frosts, and they also cannot get food for themselves in the ice. So our hero began to go out to people, like - help me please! Well, not fools live in Alaska either. They see that some wrong polar bear comes to them, and in general they do not personally know him. In short, local zoologists were called. And, they are not only personally acquainted with every polar bear in the region, so they checked it for fingerprints and also with a sensor. And, this one has the wrong sensor, and when checking according to the catalog, it turns out that the left one is not local.
At the same time, the bear himself is in full ah - ye. He lived quietly in the tundra, and then some freaks came running, and oppas - woke up in permafrost and the Northern Lights! And, again, the freaks are scurrying around. Wow, wow, wow!
Well, in general, the northern zoologists broke through the bases and found out that the Canadian colleagues are looking for in a panic, it is not known where the missing Misha - Albino.
Phoned, agreed. They shoved the poor bear once again with a sedative, and sleeping back to the Canadian tundra by helicopter.
The bear woke up and about happiness! Finally some familiar places! All native, hurray! But just, fuck it! Another batch of very smart American tourists stumbled upon our sufferer. And of course, in their most literate brains, everything turned out clearly - white, which means a polar bear, the devil knows how it came here from the Arctic Circle. And never mind that the shapes and configurations vary! Animal rights activists were called again, again a portion of the weed from a safe distance, again a helicopter and hello Alaska.
Misha woke up and finally went nuts from these permutations. Of course, a grizzly is a formidable, strong and terrible beast, but at least calm down, he doesn’t know how to eat ice, but also to catch seals and smack them on this ice. Yes, and it’s kind of cold for him there. The poor guy started to panic. I decided that winter had come a long time ago, but he did not sleep! And he began at an accelerated pace to drip his lair in the snow and permafrost.
