"Filmed three days ago at Eastside Animal Services in Tucson, Arizona. The woman is Nina. She's 38 years old. Works as a pharmacy technician. The dog is a tan mixed-breed named Copper. Six years old. Nina surrendered Copper fourteen months ago when her landlord issued a no-pets ultimatum after a neighbor complained about barking. Nina had rented that apartment for four years. She had no savings to move quickly. She had one week to find a solution. She couldn't find pet-friendly housing in time. She brought Copper to Eastside Animal Services on a Thursday morning. She asked the intake coordinator to write in the file that Copper liked scrambled eggs and was afraid of ceiling fans. She wanted whoever adopted him to know those things. Nobody adopted Copper in fourteen months. Nina moved to a rental house in October. Pet-friendly. Fenced yard. The first thing she did after unpacking was start calling shelters. She found Copper on the third call. The shelter coordinator brought Copper into the hallway where Nina was waiting. Copper stopped at the end of the hallway and went completely still. Just looked at Nina. Four seconds. Five seconds. Not moving. Then he ran. He hit Nina at full speed and she went back against the wall and they both slid down to the floor. Nina couldn't speak. She just held him. Copper had his face buried in her neck and his whole body was shaking. The staff member filming stepped back and didn't say anything. Nina sat on that floor for a long time. Eventually she looked up and said: "He remembered. After fourteen months, he still remembered me." The intake coordinator later pulled Copper's file. The scrambled eggs note was still there. The ceiling fan note was still there. She said: "We read those notes to every volunteer who walked his kennel. Everyone knew those things about him. Nina made sure of that even when she had to leave him." Copper went home that afternoon. He slept the entire car ride with his head in Nina's lap. Sometimes the pause before the run is the most honest moment. It's the one second where a heart makes absolutely sure before it lets itself believe.
Meanwhile at Moscow's Sheremetyevo International Airport two passengers who had missed their flight ran onto the tarmac on July 25 and walked directly toward an Aeroflot aircraft in an attempt to board, with one woman dragging a suitcase behind her.
We see soldiers coming home to their puppies, but I’ve never seen one with cats. It is hilarious. Could someone tell me the name of the song on the video and who sings it. I really wanna know.
It's not every day a Swainson's Hawk turns up at Toronto Pearson.
Known for one of the longest migrations of any North American raptor, the Swainson's Hawk is typically found in Western Canada and west of the Mississippi River, making sightings in Ontario relatively rare. Each year, the species travels thousands of kilometres between its breeding grounds in North America and its wintering grounds in South America.
Earlier this spring, Falcon Environmental wildlife manager Keith Everett found the hawk in one of the wildlife management enclosures on airport property.
Before being released, the hawk was fitted with a band so researchers can track its migration patterns in the wild.
Often confused with the Divi-divi, Aruba's iconic Fofoti trees at Eagle Beach are famous for their unique, wind-sculpted silhouettes. They’ve stood the test of time, salt, and breeze, serving as a reminder that Aruba's natural forces have been at work for centuries.#FofotiTree
This natural beauty can't protect itself. It takes an entire island of effort to make Aruba the welcoming home it's always been - for people and for nature. So when you visit, be sure to pack plenty of love. ❤️🏝️🌵🌺#WorldEnvironmentDay#ProtectOurPlanet#SustainableTravel#Aruba
