Poor Dog Was Found Nearly Dead in a Plastic Bag, Has Been Rescued and Given a New Lease on Life

Although life is often rife with challenging and trying periods, it is essential to remember that they will not last indefinitely. Once you have surmounted these obstacles, your existence will undoubtedly be filled with joy and exhilarating moments as the saying goes, “after the rain, comes the sun.” Similarly, Anora, the small dog, was once trapped in an unimaginably dire circumstance. However, with the aid of her loved ones and companions, she conquered her grief and ultimately discovered a permanent, affectionate home.

On a bustling street in Transylvania, Romania during a scorching summer in 2016, Anora was discovered lying motionless in a plastic bag.

When discovered, she was on the brink of death and had been left to fend for herself. To make matters worse, there were worms present in the plastic bag.

The dog had clearly endured a head injury and other traumas, likely from previous abuse. At the time of discovery, her condition was critical: her leg was broken, and she was both dehydrated and malnourished. She seemed to have been left for dead in her pitiful state.

She was promptly taken to Transylvania Animal Care and received all the essential treatments.

Fortunately, the medical staff at the center were able to remove all the worms from her wound and reduce the swelling in her head.

After her rescue, she was given a name that held special meaning by those who had saved her. It’s “Anora” which means “light”.

Once Anora’s health had fully recovered, she was deemed ready for adoption and soon found a new home with her adoptive mother, Helen Taylor, in the UK.

A fundraising campaign was launched to gather donations for Anora’s medical expenses, as her leg had not fully healed. Thanks to the generous contributions, Anora was able to undergo the necessary surgery in 2017.

Anora is currently living a joyful life in her new home in the UK. With the love and care of her adoptive mother, Helen Taylor, and her loving family, the once helpless puppy has improved tremendously and now shines brighter than ever before.

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.
