Upon learning of a small dog that had been tethered to a fire hydrant in a Southern California neighborhood, Suzette Hall was sorrowful but, regrettably, not caught off guard. As the creator of Logan’s Legacy canine rescue organization, Hall had recently rescued several dogs from that same area, and this little pup was yet another forsaken by its family.
The individual who contacted authorities reported that the canine’s former guardians had left a bowl of water and a container of food, but the animal had not consumed either. Instead, the pup remained in a compact, curled position, scarcely uncoiling.

Although Hall desired to personally rescue the dog, she was unable to arrive on the scene quickly enough. Therefore, she contacted an individual in the vicinity for urgent assistance.
“I called this woman I know who lives right by there and asked her to please go get the pup,” Hall told The Dodo.
The neighbor promptly abandoned her current activity and journeyed to the intersection, where she indeed encountered an 8-month-old puppy, subsequently dubbed Cici, restrained to the fire hydrant.
“She was just twisting and twisting around that hydrant with her leash,” Hall said. “The poor dog was all tied up.”

As the woman knelt to free Cici from her entanglement, the pup growled apprehensively, unsure of the situation. However, with Hall’s remote guidance, the woman earned the dog’s confidence and was able to successfully disentangle her from the post.
Using a gentle blanket, the woman scooped up Cici and held her tenderly for a brief moment before situating her in the vehicle. While en route to the veterinarian, the dog’s health began to deteriorate.
“She got so sick in the car,” Hall said. “We think it was from fear and lack of food and water since she was too scared to eat the food they’d left.”

Fortuitously, Cici arrived at Camino Pet Hospital precisely when necessary. Following the administration of fluids and an abundance of much-needed affection, Cici began to feel significantly improved.
“They monitored her, then, all of a sudden, she was fine,” Hall said. “She finally started perking up.”

While at the hospital, Cici formed many new acquaintances, but one, in particular, caused her tail to wag fervently: Hedy Herold, the office manager at Camino Pet Hospital.
“Whenever Hedy walks by her, Cici starts wiggling her tail,” Hall said. “She gets so excited because she knows it’s Hedy.”
Throughout her stay at Camino Pet Hospital, Cici has spent almost every day snuggled in Hedy’s embrace, anticipating the attainment of a clean bill of health before embarking on her next phase.
Fortunately, the puppy has recently been authorized for temporary care and is preparing to depart the clinic to rendezvous with her new foster family. Although Cici is thrilled to have a place to call home for the time being, she is still in quest of permanent, unconditional love.

Hall is eagerly anticipating finding the ideal adoptive family for Cici in the near future. It’s difficult to fathom what Cici endured before her rescue, but Hall can sense that the tiny yet tough pup has recuperated exceptionally well.
“She’s just so happy,” Hall said. “She’s as sweet as can be.”

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.
