You can see the sadness in this chick's eyes!

Nove looking so sad watching the other foster chicks flying away. A very sad story as he was left lying on the beach for 10 hours before he
was rescued and his wing can no longer be healed and the tissue is dying. However, if it wasn't for the fabulous team of
rescuers in Brighton, he would have endured a horrible death.

He'll never be able to fly and will soon be going to his forever home at a gull sanctuary.

The Maryland dog, Bear, is a Cairn terrier being praised for doing everything he could to wake his family when their house was up in flames.

Don't people have fire alarms installed in their homes?

This reminds me of my friend's dog. Their fuse box almost got burned but doggo barked so loud that my friend paid attention and saved their home. If it wouldn't for him, my friend's house might have caught fire.
 
this happened like 40 years ago. I don't think I've thought of it in a real long time.
I was sleeping at my sister's apartment when I was woken up by my sister's dog barking.
As soon as I woke up fully I thought I smelled smoke. going out in the hallway I thought the smell was strongest near the apartment next door. I started knocking on the door. my friend called the fire dept, the manager of the apartment, and started knocking on neighbors doors.

When the fireman arrived they discovered the neighbor had fallen asleep in bed with a cigarette burning and the mattress or blankets were smoldering. She was DOA. Smoke inhalation.
 
My story occurs 40 years ago. I'm thinking we must not have had smoke alarms back then.
 
Daughter and family went to one of the state parks after dinner. They saw an injured goose with one foot. They called DEEP and they said they had received a call about it before. They contacted a rescue group but they couldn't catch it so they decided to let nature take its course. Then they found a park ranger who said it's been there for a few months so he's proving to be quite resourceful. I guess because he can fly. Poor thing. 😞

"The world's wildlife populations have suffered a "terrifying" decline over the past five decades and urgent action is needed to reverse the losses, the World Wildlife Federation said in a report published Thursday.

Global populations of monitored mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles and fish plummeted by an average of 69 per cent from 1970 to 2018, according to findings published by the WWF with data from the Zoological Society of London."
