SCOUT repeatedly escapes shelter, sneaks into nursing home and gets ADOPTED! 😂❤️🐾

BELLAIRE #MI — He’d had enough of being at the animal shelter, so Scout the dog climbed over one tall fence and then another, crossed a busy highway in the darkness, entered the automatic doors of a nursing home down the road, walked unnoticed into the lobby, hopped onto a couch, curled into a ball and quietly went to sleep for the night.

An astonished nurse there found him the next morning. She called Antrim County Animal Control, whose shelter happens to be just down the road. And they discovered that he'd escaped from there the night before.

Scout was a stray mutt. He had no identity, no history. The shelter staff gave him his new name, but otherwise they knew nothing about him, though they noticed he had the distinct demeanor of an abused dog. Somebody apparently once shot him too, with BBs or birdshot, because his jowl still had some kind of round pellets embedded in it. You couldn’t see them, but you could feel them if he let you touch him.

The sheriff came and took him back to the shelter.

But a few nights later, there was Scout, back on that same couch in the nursing home lobby. Somehow he again scaled a 10-foot chain-link fence, then a 6-foot solid privacy fence, crossed a highway without getting run over, entered the front door unnoticed, jumped onto the same couch as before and made himself at home for the night.

The staff formally adopted him. Suddenly, the nursing home had its own pet. And the residents were delighted.

Scout has free rein at Glacier Hill, which houses about 20 seniors. He wanders the halls at will, lies down wherever he wishes and visits residents whenever the mood strikes him. He learned how to get into their rooms by jumping up and using his paw to pull down on door handles. And he knows which residents keep dog biscuits in their walkers to give to him.

Yesterday I adopted the oldest, sickest, and sorest shelter dog. I'll never forget his eyes. When I went into the cage he didn't even bother to look, he knew I wouldn't even see him. ❤️

This is the most dangerous animal in the world. It is responsible of MILLIONS of deaths every year. By its side, a great white Shark swims peacefully.

Try to watch this and not smile. Pure joy for some dogs who had a tough start in life. 🥰🙏

My good friend Sybille helps disabled dogs here on the island. She’s a surgeon for humans and she rehabs them and provides care in her own spare time.

I can do a little to help dogs myself but my aim is to find and support an army of people like Sybille around the world 🥰

Breaking News: Jimmy Buffett, the singer whose brand of escapism on hits like “Margaritaville” made him a latter-day folk hero, died at 76. https://t.co/npX9RC1Gru

Some species of gray langurs have a special relationship with Spotted Deer

They notify each other when predators approach

In return, the langurs give the deer fruit from tall trees the deer can’t reach
This type of relationship is called mutualism

The smell of the air after a storm is caused by Geosmin: a chemical released by dead soil bacteria. Humans are sensitive to it, capable of detecting concentrations ~5 parts per trillion. It's theorised in our evolutionary past this helped us seek out water https://t.co/ssYs59LklV

This is probably the best video of an aircraft parachute in action, but the story around how a pilot ended up landing 200miles from Hawaii over the pacific is just as interesting. This was a transoceanic ferry flight to deliver an aircraft to a customer in Hawaii.

[Dr. Zeuss @Luvz2Fly]

@DJSnM Yes it is!! One important thing to note is that the movement of the helicopter filming (plus zoomed in) along with the motion of the Cirrus aircraft (pre, during and post CAPS deployment) creates a bit of an illusion of highly increased speed, erratic and dramatic movements.
