Daughter Feels Heartwarming When Walking In The Door And Seeing Her Dad Napping with All the Neighbor Dogs

Feeling love and affection from our adopted animals is incredible, but to be loved by every pet we meet is truly miraculous. We believe that those who can win the hearts of animals must be very kind and patient. One extraordinary person who fits this description is Catey Hall’s father. He has devoted his life to rescuing dogs and has earned the love and admiration of all the dogs in the neighborhood. Although Hall already knew about her dad’s deep connection with these furry friends, it was still mesmerizing to witness the neighborhood dogs peacefully napping beside him at their home.

This wonderful sight is something that Catey Hall often sees when she visits her dad. He has a habit of taking a short nap on the couch but never alone in his slumber. Dogs from the neighborhood love to join him, and together, they create a big, cozy pile of napping companions.

“Dad sees, plays with, and naps with one or more of these dogs on a daily basis,” Hall told The Dodo. “They come running when they see his car and follow him inside.”

Hall’s father, Lon Watson, has always had a special fondness for dogs. He actively collaborates with the neighborhood rescue organization Pound on the Hill to ensure every animal gets the care and attention they need.

“For as long as I can remember, my dad has rescued stray dogs,” Hall said. “Growing up, we always had a dog. But there was always room for a stray in need. Now that he lives alone with his wife, there’s room for several. They work with rescues in the area to find homes for the dogs in need; however, not all of them are re-homed, and they stay with dad forever.”

Watson and his wife have already rescued and cared for four dogs in their home. Additionally, three other dogs named Hooch, Fluffer-Nutter, and Rosie, who live nearby, share a unique bond with Watson and visit him every day.

Surprisingly, these neighborhood dogs are so attached to Watson that they are happy to wait patiently all day, just for a few minutes of his company.

“The neighborhood is an unincorporated section of semi-rural Alabama. The houses are set far back from the street, so the dogs can bounce from house to house safely,” Hall said. “The dogs can usually hear my dad’s truck coming, and they will meet him in the driveway.”

Thankfully, Watson’s human neighbors are perfectly fine with their dogs spending most of their time with him. They never disturb his private moments, especially when he’s taking a nap.

Watson has a special connection with every dog he meets. Hall’s two dogs are no exception; they can’t resist wanting to join in on the fun when Watson visits. According to Hall, they even try to leave with him when he goes home.

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.
