Heartbreaking stories of animal brutality and neglect are regrettably all too frequent in our world. Recently, a video leaked online that showed a little puppy crying over the death of her siblings who were killed by stray dogs. The video is heart-wrenching and illustrates the truth of the horrible world we live in.
The video shows the little puppy clutching to her dead siblings and sisters and crying. The stray dogs had attacked and killed three puppies, leaving this little one all alone. Luckily, a good individual was able to rescue the puppy before any further damage could come to her.
It’s a heartbreaking story, but it underlines the need of animal welfare and protection. Animals, just like humans, need to be treated with love and respect. Unfortunately, there are still many stray dogs and other animals on the streets that are not being properly taken care of. This can lead to violent assaults and even death for innocent animals.
The video of the little puppy crying over her siblings is a poignant reminder of the terrible reality that many animals confront. It’s up to everyone of us to do our bit in assisting animals in need, whether that means adopting a pet, working at a local animal shelter, or simply promoting awareness about animal welfare concerns.
Let’s not forget the little puppy who survived this horrible catastrophe. She deserves a shot at a happy and healthy life, filled with love and care. And let’s do our best to make sure that instances like these don’t happen again in the future.
Crocodiles push stray dog to safety after it falls into danger-filled river
Scientists believe rare rescue is a sign that the fearsome reptiles may be capable of compassion
In an apparent example of interspecies compassion, a group of crocodiles appeared to usher a dog to safety after it fell into a dangerous river.
The dog, believed to be a stray, was being chased by a pack of other feral canines when it jumped into the River Savirtri in India out of harm’s way, or so it thought.
But the river was infested by local mugger crocodiles, and three of them were floating near the stray.
This should have been the end of the helpless pup, with the crocs being “well within the striking range,” according to a report published by scientists in the Journal of Threatening Taxa.
However, the crocodiles appeared to usher the dog back to safety on the shore.
“These crocodiles were actually touching the dog with their snouts and nudging it to move further for a safe ascent on the bank and eventually escape,” the researchers wrote.
“The muggers were well within the striking range and could have easily devoured the dog, yet none of them attacked and instead chose to nudge it towards the bank, implying that the hunger drive was absent.”
The researchers say that the crocodiles were “docile”. Adult male mugger crocs can reach 18 feet long and weigh up to 1,000 pounds, according to the Wildlife Institute of India.
The researchers said they believe that the pup rescue could be a sign of the crocs having emotional intelligence.
“The curious case of a dog ‘rescued’ by the group of crocodiles reported here seems more on lines of empathy than altruistic behaviour,” the scientists said.
Aside from the muggers’ apparent alliance with stray dogs, scientists discovered another wholesome obsession that the crocs appeared to have: marigold flowers.
Crocodiles are often seen floating or laying in marigolds, often keeping “physical contact” with the yellow flowers, which the researchers note have compounds that can protect skin from fungi and bacteria.
The Savitri River is polluted with sewage and other harmful ingredients, so this may be why they like to have contact with the petals.
