Finding a forever home where they are loved and cared for must be the happiest thing for animals. This is a priceless chance for those who are abandoned, have been waiting for adoption, or have an unhappy life with their old owners. It can literally change their life, in a positive direction, forever. These newly adopted animals can totally relax. It’s normal to see them sleeping fast just moments after getting adopted. This is also what happens with this stray dog. The poor furry friend was abandoned but thankfully rescued and adopted by a couple. He slept fast and snored in his owner’s car just seconds after being rescued. Scroll down to know more!

One early morning two weeks ago, Jayme Harley was sleeping when she heard the sound of text notifications from her phone. This was a message from her boyfriend. He had sent her a photo of a sad-looking dog at a gas station and written, “Go get him!”
Actually, the woman was still groggy at the beginning but started to realize this was a critical moment. Jayme wanted to adopt a second dog, but her boyfriend hadn’t been too keen on the idea. So, if he wanted her to rescue one, this was big news.
“When it registered with me that it wasn’t a dream, I knew that it was a serious thing, that he really wanted me to go get him,” Harley told The Dodo.
Jayme’s boyfriend, Aaron Peters, spotted the pit bull as he was driving his early morning FedEx delivery route. He decided to stop his car at the gas station and was captivated by the dog’s kind bright blue eyes.
“He looked like he needed a family,” Peters told The Dodo. “I figured we could give him somewhere good to live.”
Harley then immediately got in her car and rushed over to the gas station in Kinta, Oklahoma.
When she arrived, she gave the dog some water and soon learned that the poor boy was abandoned.
“A girl pulled up, and she told me that she’d seen him jump out of a car,” Harley said. “And no one would take him in because he was a pit bull. That broke my heart because it should not matter what breed he is. All he wanted was somebody to love him.”
Harley decided to offer this dog a new home. She put him in the car and before she had even driven out of the parking lot, he was asleep and snoring. It was just a few seconds.
“It made me feel like that was the perfect moment,” Harley said. “I felt like he knew that he was going to have a place to sleep that night. He was going to have food. And he finally had the help that he needed.”
Harley wanted the dog to have a medical check-up, so she brought him to her veterinarian’s office. The dog didn’t have a microchip, but other than a bit of mange, he was in good shape.
She named the dog Rufus and they headed home together. She wasn’t sure about whether Rufus could fit in the new living environment and befriended Harley’s cat — but he became instant pals with her dog.
“They just started loving on each other, and they have since been best friends. They sleep together. They do everything together,” Harley said.
Amazingly, it took Rufus no time to also bond with Harley’s cat, kids, and boyfriend. The dog made himself right at home and really enjoyed living here.
Peters just knew the dog would fit at the moment he saw him. “He’s a good dog,” Peters said.
Peters and Harley now think that Rufus was for them.
“Bringing him in has added this warmth to our home. He has added so much more laughter,” Harley said. “He was the final piece to our family that we needed. He was the final piece we didn’t even know we needed.”

These Pics Are Art and the Artists Are Insects

Flying insects move so quickly that they are hard to follow, but new technology and some smart ideas have helped Spanish photographer Xavi Bou do just that. After spending 10 years focusing on birds in flight for his Ornithographies project, he turned his attention to insects.
For Entomographies, he uses high-speed video footage taken by Adrian Smith, an insect expert at North Carolina State University, to study and record how insects move. Bou then picks multiple frames and combines them into single images that show the fast movements of one or more insects through space and time.
With Smith’s help, Bou has captured the aerial tricks of wasps, the jumps of leafhoppers, and the fluttering of butterflies in amazing detail. He hopes that by doing this, he can make people more aware of the decline in important insect populations around the world.
1. Zebra longwing
This butterfly, which is common in many areas of the Americas, really fits its name. It can fly very high with just a few flaps of its large wings.

2. Two-lined spittlebug
This insect, which comes from the eastern United States, is often seen as a pest because it likes to eat grass. Its springy back legs can make it jump into the air like a rocket.

3. Yellow-collared scape moth
Unlike most moths, this North American species flies during the day. Its shiny blue-black wings sparkle in the sunlight.

4. Ailanthus webworm moths
These tropical moths have spread farther north in the U.S. Because of their larval host, the invasive tree of heaven, they are now one of the most common backyard moths in the country.

5. Common stonefly
Mostly found in eastern North America, this insect starts its life as an underwater nymph in forested streams or rivers. Then it leaves the water, sheds its skin, and becomes an adult with wings.

6. Green lacewings
Eighty-seven species of this insect have been found in the U.S. and Canada. Since they eat a lot of unwanted plant pests like aphids and mites, they are often used to naturally control these pests.

7. Grapevine beetle
This insect, fittingly named, eats the leaves and fruit of grapevines, both wild and farmed, but it doesn’t do much damage to the plants. As a type of scarab beetle, it often flies in a curved path.

8. Oak treehopper and green treehopper
Treehoppers are known for their uniquely shaped pronotum, the part behind their head, which often looks like plant parts to hide from predators. They can jump well thanks to special muscles.

9. Banded orange
This brightly colored butterfly can be found from Mexico to Brazil. Before mating season, male butterflies look for mineral salts, sometimes even drinking salty fluids from the skin, eyes, and nostrils of other animals.

10. Sapho longwing
Longwings can live for 6 to 7 months, longer than most butterflies. This type, found from Mexico to Ecuador, has shiny blue wings, which is why it’s also called the Sapphire longwing.

Eagle and Fox in an Epic Midair Battle Over a Rabbit, Were Captured by a Photographer
![Eagle and Fox in an Epic Midair Battle Over a Rabbit, Were Captured by a Photographer](http://beginandbegin.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Eagle-and-Fox-in-an-Epic-Midair-Battle-Over-a-Rabbit-Were-Captured-by-a-Photographer.jpg)
Wildlife photography often depends on the perfect combination of good timing and the right place.
That’s exactly what happened when Kevin Ebi, an experienced wildlife photographer, captured an incredible battle between a bald eagle and a red fox, both competing for a rabbit meal.
In a detailed blog post, Ebi shares the fascinating series of events that unfolded while he was photographing foxes in San Juan Island National Historical Park, located in Washington state.
Ebi noticed a lively group of eight fox kits as they began their hunting lessons. Suddenly, they spotted a rabbit, and a thrilling chase ensued. Eventually, one of the foxes emerged as the winner, proudly carrying the rabbit across the field.

Ebi shares what happened at that moment: “As I followed the fox with my camera, a sudden bald eagle cry caught my attention. It was swiftly approaching, clearly aiming for the rabbit. I quickly focused on the fox, anticipating a quick turnover of events.”
To Ebi’s astonishment, instead of a quick surrender, the situation turned into a intense fight in the air.
The eagle used its power to lift the fox and rabbit high up in the sky. Even while airborne, the fox attempted to break free by swinging back and forth.

In the end, the eagle moved the rabbit to its other claw, causing the fox to let go. The intense battle came to an end in less than 10 seconds.

For those worried about the fox’s well-being after the fight, Ebi reassures that it was not injured. The fox swiftly bounced back from the encounter and resumed its playful behavior with the other young foxes, showing no visible wounds from the aerial clash.
