Some of you may remember Martyn, the bull who wandered into a Ukrainian military position in 2023 and ended up living with the soldiers for more than a year. Eventually, one of the servicemen took him home from the front.

Well, here’s what happened years later. ❤️

That soldier has since turned his home into a refuge for animals rescued from the front. Other servicemen can bring him abandoned animals they encounter and cannot bear to leave behind.

Martyn now has plenty of company: donkeys, goats, pigs, raccoons, geese, sheep, lots of cats and other animals, all brought back from the war zone and given a safe home.

I’ve never seen a lobster swim a breast stroke. But then again AI can make anything happen.

@ServeAlabama B!
I learned from a friend to keep frozen packs and frozen water in my freezer, if not full of food, to prolong the chill.
It also keeps cold air in rather than escaping when you open the door.

🐶🐱 Don’t leave your pets out of your disaster plan!

This #FLPrepMonth, remember to stock a disaster supply kit for your four-legged family members, too!

🦴 From everyday essentials to important records, make sure to include the essentials they’ll need to stay safe, healthy & comfortable during an emergency.

Prepared pets are safer pets! ❣️ https://t.co/kcUOXr9hJP

This is why it’s important to have an emergency plan for humans, pets and large animals.

WATCH: Ranchers evacuate nearly 150 cows as the fast-moving Sinlahekin Fire closes in on the community.

The cattle were rushed through the streets of Conconully, Washington, in a dramatic race to safety.

“We didn’t hesitate and jumped right in to help,” one resident said after joining ranchers to steer the herd out of danger.

The wildfire has now grown to 85,000 acres and remains 0% contained, according to fire officials.

Good job, paddle boarders!
That Texas flood is no joke. Thank you for saving the raccoon, but beware of other wildlife that might not be so friendly.

Thank goodness we don’t have venomous snakes breeding facilities in places that flood regularly.

Every crew needs a good leader… apparently ours has four legs. 🐐🔥

While working on the Rock Creek Fire, our firefighters got an unexpected escort from a very determined goat who led them toward the fire area and helped with some fuel mitigation along the way.

We’re not saying he’s ready for a badge… but we’re also not saying he isn’t. 😂

“Doobie the Miracle Cat:" Two days after an EF3 tornado struck Union City, volunteers found Doobie, a brown and white cat trapped underneath piles of drywall. The cat suffered multiple pelvic fractures, a broken humerus, and a nearly severed tail. https://t.co/srMuUuA7Ia

[Alley Cat Allies @alleycatallies]

Alley Cat Allies is still on the ground in Oahu, Hawai’i, to provide and strategize emergency relief after historic floods. Cats and kittens impacted by the floodwaters, even in areas where they have receded, will need support and care for a long recovery period ahead.

We're working to ensure cats' lives don't slip through the cracks of disaster response, especially community cats. If you'd like to support our Hawai’i flood response, your emergency gift today will be matched to make 2X the impact: ‼️ https://t.co/HH6QJgPMCy‼️

Bear, the koala detection dog who became famous because of his work during Australia's catastrophic Black Summer bushfires, is retiring at the age of 11. Bear was recruited and trained 10 years ago to sniff out koalas and other wildlife in need of rescue. https://t.co/AkE7R7euNj

[CBS News @CBSNews]

A good Samaritan on a paddle board rescued dogs stranded in the floodwaters in Mokuleia, Hawaii.

The state suffered its worst flooding in more than 20 years when heavy rains fell across the islands, causing an expected $1 billion in damages.

‼️HAWAIʻI FLOOD RESPONSE‼️ Alley Cat Allies has been on the ground in Oahu to rush rapid response care to cats impacted by the flash floods.

Our Rapid Response Team set up feeding stations to provide food and water to community cats, and we're supporting local caregivers who are doing everything they can to care for the cats through it all.

Community cats are savvy survivors and have deep-rooted instincts that guide them to higher ground during floods. However, many cats have likely been displaced from their homes by the disaster. Alley Cat Allies is continuing to act on the ground, and we're working to connect with local organizations and advocates to strategize further action.

The scope of the flood impact--reportedly the worst on the islands in more than 20 years--is only now starting to be assessed. As we work to protect the cats of Hawaiʻi, your support will help us save lives. Please consider an emergency gift at https://t.co/vlXUwprlLu.

We’re receiving reports of dead and struggling birds on California beaches. Investigations are underway. So far, Southern California birds tested for bird flu are negative. This month, 60+ birds show signs of starvation. Here's what we know and what to look out for.

I know we usually just post for animals in natural disasters. But this could be considered a human-made disaster…
What do you think?
