This is the story of a Border Collie left inconsolably orphaned. A man found him out in the rain; you need to watch this story to the very end to understand the dog’s plight and the man’s efforts to give him a new life.

He shot his own German Shepherd in the face with a rifle. Now it's a misdemeanor.
Sky is about 7. A neighbor who cared for him called him one of the sweetest dogs she'd ever met.
June 28, Hamburg, New York. Police find Sky hurt in the backyard. A single gunshot wound to the face.
The day before, police say, his owner Dennis Rutkowski, 62, called them twice asking them to destroy the dog. Police say he claimed Sky was possessed.
Picture your dog. Trusting you. Then the rifle.
He was charged with a felony. On Friday he pleaded guilty to attempted aggravated cruelty. A misdemeanor.
He faces up to 364 days. That's the ceiling. Until sentencing, he's free on probation supervision.
Sky lived. He's been adopted.
Sky got a new home. The man who shot him got a misdemeanor.
Sentencing is Dec 8 before Justice Debra Givens. Call the Erie County DA's office at 716-858-2400 and tell them Sky deserves the maximum.
Is 364 days enough for a bullet in the face?

"It’s just horrific. I don’t know how many animals survived... This is unforgivable."
Russia struck an animal shelter in Odesa region.
Volunteer Olha tried to rescue cats and dogs from the fire. Not all of the cats survived, she said.
Poor animals...

When people ask what makes humans extraordinary, this is it.
A 7 year old Turkish girl, İpek Nisa Göker, was born completely blind… yet she sits at a piano and turns darkness into music.
No music sheet. No sight. Just her compositions… pure instinct.

He didn’t ask for treats…
He didn’t rush to play…
He simply wrapped his paws around his new human and held on as if he’d finally found the place his heart had been searching for. 💔
This is what the first moments of adoption can look like for a dog who’s known fear, loneliness, or abandonment.
That tight hug isn’t “clingy”… it’s relief. It’s trust forming. It’s a silent whisper of:
“Please don’t leave… I finally feel safe.”
Dogs don’t need luxury.
They don’t judge your past or your flaws.
They just want safety, patience, and someone who won’t give up on them.
Be kind to the ones who have been through more than their hearts could handle.
Because sometimes, the biggest transformations begin with one gentle human and one scared soul who just needed to be loved. ❤️

Nexstar, the largest TV broadcaster, needs Donald Trump's approval for a $6 billion deal.
If approved, Nexstar would control TV stations reaching 80% of households — violating the cap set by Congress to protect against monopolies.
This censorship of Kimmel reeks of corruption.

Their reach is a cry for connection, to hold a friend & feel an embrace.
In laboratories, the most basic needs and joys, including the touch & safety of family, is stolen from them.
This is not science. It is a lifetime of torment for beings who feel, grieve, & love just like us.

NIH: Please stop funding this! If tests on animals are cruel & don't even lead to cures or treatments, then why are experimenters mutilating and killing animals in the name of "science"?!
Think of how many lives, both human and animal, can be saved!

Whistleblowers reported that workers sliced into a cow’s severely infected udder just so @alexandre_farm could squeeze out more milk 💔 Yet, @WholeFoods & other stores still sell this extreme cruelty! There’s NOTHING “humane” about what happened at this farm 😖

CEO pay skyrocketed by 1,085% while average workers only saw a 24% increase? This is why our economy is upside down. It’s time to tax the rich and fix a rigged system that benefits CEOs over the working class. #TaxTheRich
