🔥 These are dogs in the ICU.
In Uganda, we unfortunately cannot even pay a stipend for our medical interns.
🔥 Shame on us if we let this continue to happen ❣️

@HEBobiwine @Mushaka_ Indeed you are a political leader. It’s you always first and then the rest follow. A tragic event that many Ugandans that believed in your philosophy had to learn the hard way.

3rd JUNE 2026 / UGANDA martyrs

I suggest we engage President Museven about 3rd June celebrations. The business loss for Kampala is crazy if it doesn’t happen.

It’s cheaper to tell our brothers from Congo to postpone their interests till next year but those who are okay should come.

Me, I have my guy who looks after pigs for only 3rd June week, he makes enough money to take him throughout the year.

The hotels around namugongo , 3rd June is their high season, restaurants, Boda Boda, entertainment areas, food vendors were all looking forward to making money.

3rd June not happening compounds poverty for the city dwellers and poverty kills more Ugandans than Ebola will ever attempt to kill.

Those of you who make money around that period in Namungongo don’t keep quiet, lead the way. Wakiso leaders where are you?

Kampala city council leaders should present the economic impact of 3 June celebration to Kampala as a city. But those guys?

A dog failed his service dog exam, and was later seen at a train station carrying the reason why.

People at the station couldn’t stop staring when the dog walked onto the train with a stuffed elephant held proudly in his mouth.

At first, everyone thought it was part of his training.
But his owner started laughing and explained the truth.

The dog had been training to become a service dog, but during one of his final tests, he kept getting distracted by an elephant plushie nearby. Instead of staying focused, he tried to steal it like it was the only thing in the room that mattered.

That was the moment he failed.

But his owner said he couldn’t be mad. The dog had tried his best, and even if he wasn’t meant to be a service dog, he was still loyal, gentle, and full of love.

So before they left, he bought him the elephant toy.

That night, the dog didn’t pass the exam, but he still went home with the person who chose him anyway.

Stare into your dog's eyes. Your brain releases the same bonding chemical a mother's brain releases when she stares at her newborn. So does the dog's. Wolves can't do this. Not even ones raised by humans from birth. Dogs are the only animal on Earth that hacked the human bonding system.

When mila started reading on her porch, those four dogs gathered around her for a reason that goes back at least 14,000 years. A Hungarian neuroscientist named Attila Andics put 11 dogs into MRI scanners in 2014. He found that dogs have a special patch of brain wired just for hearing voices. Humans have one too, in the same spot. Both species probably inherited it from a shared ancestor that lived 100 million years ago.

In 2016 the same lab went deeper. Dogs process the meaning of a word with the left side of their brain and the tone with the right side, same setup humans have. Their reward system, the part that fires when something feels good, only switches on when the words and the tone match. Say "good boy" in a flat voice and nothing happens. Say a random word in a warm tone and nothing happens. You need both.

At Emory University, neuroscientist Gregory Berns trained 13 dogs to lie still in an MRI and gave them a choice: food or their owner's praise. Most chose praise, or treated both equally. Only 2 had a clear food preference. One of them, a terrier named Ozzie, picked food 100 percent of the time. In a follow-up maze, the dogs with the strongest brain reaction to praise picked their owner over food 80 to 90 percent of the time.

The bonding chemical has a name: oxytocin. Takefumi Kikusui at Azabu University in Japan measured it in dogs and owners before and after they sat together. Dogs that stared at their owners spiked the owners' oxytocin levels. The humans, feeling that warmth, petted the dogs more, which spiked the dogs' oxytocin. Which made the dogs stare even longer. A feedback loop, the same one a nursing mother runs with her baby. He tried the test on wolves people had hand-raised from puppies and got nothing.

Dogs have been running this loop with us for at least 14,000 years, probably closer to 30,000. They evolved alongside hunter-gatherers, before farming existed. Around 471 million now live as pets worldwide.

So when those four dogs gathered around mila, the reading itself was what pulled them in. Her voice was lighting up the patch of brain wired just for human voices. The slow rhythm of reading aloud sounds like "pet-directed speech," the higher-pitched, sing-songy voice people naturally use with dogs and babies. Researchers tried this back in 1983: kids who read aloud to therapy dogs had their heart rate and blood pressure drop to normal.

Mila guessed right. For her dogs, reading aloud is the longest, gentlest version of "good boy" their brains can get.

How can its possible

Interesting

[Massimo @Rainmaker1973]

The Netherlands has become the first country in the world to successfully eliminate stray dogs, ensuring that every dog has a home.

This remarkable achievement stems from a combination of strict animal welfare laws, large-scale spaying and neutering programs, and a strong culture of responsible pet ownership. The Dutch government has long supported widespread sterilization initiatives and enforces tough penalties for animal abuse and abandonment.

While an estimated 200 million stray dogs exist worldwide, the Netherlands stands out as a global leader. In Dutch cities, it is common to see dogs riding in bicycle baskets, relaxing under café tables, and even joining their owners on public transport, a reflection of how deeply integrated pets are into everyday life.

The country now serves as an inspiring model for animal welfare, demonstrating how coordinated policy, cultural awareness, and compassion can effectively solve a challenge that continues to affect many other nations.

RE: SPEAKERSHIP RACE
I wish to draw the attention of the public to the matters regarding the Speakership race.
After wide consultations and deep introspection, and to maintain harmony and clarity in my beloved party, the @NRMOnline, I wish to categorically and unequivocally state that I will not be offering myself for the Speakership race of the 12th Parliament.
I am greatly indebted to H.E @KagutaMuseveni, my party, the @NRMOnline, and members of the 11th Parliament for giving me the opportunity to serve as Deputy Speaker and Speaker.
I am equally indebted to my family and friends for the solidarity and support they have extended to me over the last five years.
I pledge my total support to the candidates who will be endorsed by the President and the Party, and Implore all colleague MPs of the 12th Parliament to do the same.
I shall remain available to the service of my country as the party and the President may assign me.
In the meantime, I pledge to continue cooperating with all ongoing investigations as initiated by the relevant organs of the state to get to the root of all the allegations raised.
FOR GOD AND MY COUNTRY.

Bullies identify the weak in the population and go for that one to express their grief, losses and anger. Yet sometimes if they express this to the people in charge, a lot can be achieved.

That is the description of this comment section under this post.

The speaker who was happy to pass a bill “protecting our sovereignty” by limiting the money any Ugandan entity receives from abroad in a year to UGX 400,000,000, got that amount from our taxes, with her commissioners, each individual in one day. Making it 2,000,000,000 taken from the public purse for individual use in one single day of July 21st! #UgandaParliamentExhibitionII

Being involved at the clinical level offered a sobering perspective on how vulnerable animals can, at times, become entangled in systems that do not always prioritize their best interests.
