When I watch them I realize how helpless domestic dogs are; it’s what we’ve made them & now we must be sentinels for their well being; a dog can not survive in a human world and I am the human responsible for their survival; a huge responsibility #dogsoftwitter#DogsofTwittter
"Their owner passed away alone in his apartment. Nobody found him for three days. The dogs waited the whole time." When animal control finally arrived, Max and Buddy were sitting by the front door. Not destructive. Not panicked. Just sitting. Waiting. Doing what he had always taught them to do. They came to our shelter with nothing. No records. No vet history. No family contact. Just each other. And one old tennis ball that somebody thought to grab on the way out. That was eleven days ago. Every morning they sit at the kennel door and wait. Every time they hear footsteps they both stand up. Every time those footsteps pass — they go back and lie down together. They don't know he's not coming. They just know he always came back before. Max is 6. Buddy is 5. Both healthy. Both gentle. Both heartbreakingly good dogs. Neither one will do well separated. They have never spent a night apart. They were somebody's whole world. Now they need somebody to be theirs. If you are in the USA and you have room in your home and your heart — please share this until it reaches the right person. They've already waited long enough. Drop a ❤️ for Max and Buddy. And please — SHARE. One share could be everything.
Meet Tsunami.
Tsunami is a nine year old Border Collie. His final search and rescue mission followed two powerful earthquakes that struck Venezuela just 39 seconds apart on June 24.
Working with his handler Jorge Beens Tsunami navigated unstable debris piles in search of survivors. His exceptional sense of smell allowed him to detect faint human scents carried in tiny plumes through cracks in the wreckage. Upon locating someone he would bark or assume a specific trained alert posture to guide rescue teams to the most promising areas.
According to K SAR ECID Tsunami contributed to the rescue of at least 13 people during this deployment.
His background makes this accomplishment even more inspiring. Originally rescued from abuse and abandonment on the streets of Caracas Tsunami caught the attention of Beens who recognized his sharp intelligence and strong natural tracking instincts. Beens adopted him and provided specialized training for urban search and rescue operations.
Throughout his career Tsunami supported response efforts after major earthquakes in Turkey and Syria as well as landslide incidents in Venezuela.
This latest mission stood apart from the rest. After years of demanding deployments and extensive work in hazardous ruins Venezuelan authorities and his handler designated it as Tsunamis final official operation before retirement.
Sometimes the animals we rescue go on to rescue us in return.

In 2016, in Almaty, Kazakhstan, a dog fell into the dam and was unable to get out due to slippery banks. Kind people formed a human chain to save the dog.
After 10 years, this unforgettable moment was immortalized with a statue.
Thats Jewish immigration into BRITISH Palestine.
The British mandate that was CREATED in 1920 and never existed before that.
Arabs also migrated into BRITISH Palestine.
The name Palestine comes from the Roman 'Syria Palestina'
Obviously Arabs wouldn't call themselves something 'Roman'
Just try using logic 👍🏻
When I was in the process of converting to Judaism, a Holocaust survivor asked me, "Why would you choose to become Jewish? People hate us."
I told her, "Because it's not a choice. I have a Jewish soul. I'm just coming home."
I have spoken to many of my fellow converts, and none of us thought about antisemitism when we were converting.
Yes, we are aware of the history; my grandmother-in-law (may her memory be a blessing) was a survivor who lost family members in the Holocaust. My husband and I went to Spain to learn about the Inquisition and trace his family history. I read about the destruction of the Temples and visited Israel to see the only remains of them, the Western Wall.
Post October 7, in a time when I can't post one thing about being Jewish without getting tons of threats and horrible, nasty comments, and so many people seem to hate us just for being Jewish, I gotta say: I don't regret my decision in the least. I am more proud than ever to be a Jew.
Why? Because I'm home.
According to the Jerusalem Post, a major plan to topple the Iranian regime using Kurdish forces, backed by Israeli air support was ready.
Trump vetoed it at the last minute.
Israeli sources accuse JD Vance of leaking the entire operation to Erdogan.
A 41-year-old Vice President with zero experience in the region decided he knew better than seasoned strategists who have fought the Islamic Republic for decades.
This is not a policy disagreement.
This is a serious betrayal.
