“Buddy’s whole personality has changed since seeing the light of day.”

It’s hard to believe that there are people who can be so mean to animals, but unfortunately, it happens in today’s world.

Sadly, one poor dog became a victim of such cruelty when a young person deliberately set its head on fire, causing severe and life-threatening injuries to the helpless animal.
The dog goes by the name of Buddy, and this is the tale of his journey.
When Buddy was discovered, he had severe burns on his face and an electrical cord wrapped around his neck.
Buddy’s injuries were so severe that they could have affected his eyesight.
The dog was limping and experiencing extreme pain when he was eventually discovered and saved on the streets of Senotobia, Mississippi.

Fortunately, there were kind-hearted individuals who were eager to assist the poor animal, allowing him to regain a normal life and, hopefully, restore his vision.
Buddy was rescued by the Tunica Humane Society.
The dog’s injuries were severe, and it took the doctors at the Mississippi State Veterinary Hospital several days to treat him. They worked hard to help him heal, hoping that he would regain his sight during his recovery.

In order to help Buddy heal, the doctors had to perform skin grafts. Buddy had suffered very serious burns, including third-degree and even fourth-degree burns.
Buddy’s condition was critical, and the doctors were desperately hoping that they had arrived in time and that the treatment would be effective for him.
During Buddy’s recovery, he had to wear snug bandages and keep his eyes covered.

The poor dog had to cope with the fact that he couldn’t see and gradually regained his health over the course of four months following his rescue.
It was necessary to do that in order to speed up his recovery.
“Without the bandages, Buddy would be pawing and rubbing his face and eyes to get some relief,” Sandy Williams, Founder and Director of Tunica Humane Society explained. “That could cause devastating damage to all the good that has been done so far. So for now, Buddy’s face has to remain covered.”

After four months of being rescued, the doctors finally made the decision to take off the bandages.
Because of the dog’s incredible tale of survival, the people at the hospital and the Tunica Humane Society are eagerly anticipating the moment when the pup will finally regain his vision.
After enduring four long and challenging months, the dog’s bandages were finally removed, bringing joy to everyone as they witnessed the improvement in his health.

The dog’s face still had pink skin from the skin graft, but his vision had fully recovered.
Taking off the dog’s bandage was a heartfelt moment, and people were amazed by the dog’s incredible resilience.
Buddy finally regained his sight, and it was clear that he still had a few more months until he fully recovered. However, the doctors remain optimistic about his progress.
“The new skin is very pink,” Williams posted on Facebook. “He may never grow fur back where he had the skin grafts. We are counting the days until we can see Buddy’s whole face with or without fur. He is going to be perfect either way.”

Buddy has faced a tough journey, but after his bandages were removed, the pain and the horrors he endured seemed to fade away.
Because he loves playing fetch and being active, Buddy had to wear a cone around his head.
It was a big step forward from wearing bandages Buddy.
The investigation revealed a heartbreaking truth about Buddy’s attacker, which deeply saddened many people.

The Tate County Sheriff’s Office found out that a 12-year-old was responsible for the brutal attack.
The police department obtained a confession from the child, but because of his young age, he could not be charged with a crime.
Buddy’s incredible survival and resilience serve as an inspiration, and we hope his story puts an end to such acts of cruelty toward animals.

These Pics Are Art and the Artists Are Insects
![These Pics Are Art and the Artists Are Insects](http://beginandbegin.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/These-Pics-Are-Art-and-the-Artists-Are-Insects.jpg)
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.
