More Than 750 Dogs Are Being Cared For by a Dedicated Man at His Shelter

Regrettably, it’s quite prevalent for people to desert animals on the streets, showing no regard for their selfless companionship.

Fortunately, individuals like Sasha Pesic exist, who dedicate their time to assisting stray dogs and providing them with the necessary care they deserve.

Sasha Pesic, a prominent animal rights advocate in Serbia, established his own animal shelter in 2008, and it now provides a home for 750 dogs.

In 2008, Pesic’s journey began when he discovered four abandoned puppies while driving home.

Despite his financial constraints, he felt an obligation to rescue the puppies and began devising a plan to assist them.

Sasha received assistance from six volunteers, allowing him to establish the shelter and provide a safe haven and sustenance for the dogs. Donations from across the globe have kept the shelter operational to this day.

Sasha Pesic takes individual care of all the animals in his shelter, even remembering each one by name, and ensures that they receive necessary medical attention such as vaccination, sterilization, and ID microchipping.

Sasha’s rescue efforts have helped save approximately 1,200 dogs, and more than 400 of them have been adopted into homes across the globe. Undoubtedly, he is an exemplary role model for all.

Sasha faced challenges with the owners of the land where his shelter is situated, who demanded that he vacate the premises.

After the issue was brought to public attention, a petition was circulated and signed by thousands of people, urging the government to reconsider their demand for Sasha to leave the land where his shelter is located. This led to a temporary suspension of the eviction.

Sasha appreciates the help of everyone and believes that the issue of so many deserted dogs stems from a system that does not focus on finding solutions, but rather creates more harm.

“Another issue is the owners’ recklessness in not neutering their pets and abandoning them outside when they are no longer wanted,” said Sasha

“I have a baby and can’t take care of the dog,” and “I don’t need it anymore.”

Regrettably, Sasha does not receive any support from the government, and some veterinarians charge him exorbitant fees under the assumption that he has abundant funds from donations, yet this does not deter him from his mission.

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.

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.
