Senior Dog Left in The Freezing Cold Receives a Heartwarming Christmas Miracle

As the town celebrated the festive season on 20th December 2022, a lone figure was battling the elements, left out in the freezing cold. The snowstorm threatened to snuff out her last bit of hope, but it was said that miracles happened during Christmas, and everyone held onto that glimmer of hope.

Emmy, a pit mix who had been severely neglected, was discovered huddled on the street during a blizzard in Ecorse, Michigan, when the temperature was about two degrees Fahrenheit with 30 mph winds, and her brown fur was covered in snow. Fortunately, some local residents spotted her and alerted the Friends of River Rouge Animal Shelter. Once the organization was informed, Patty rushed to the scene and found the emaciated dog barely clinging to life.

Patty wasted no time and immediately took to social media to seek help for Emmy. The PAWS Clinic, a local spay-neuter clinic, recommended transferring the poor pup to the vet for medical attention. Without hesitation, Patty rushed her to the Pet Care Clinic Lincoln Park where a team of veterinarians assessed Emmy’s condition. Given her malnourished state, low weight, and flea infestation, as well as pressure sores on her joints, they recommended transporting her to an emergency vet clinic right away.

Henceforth, P.O.E.T. Animal Rescue, with whom Patty was affiliated, took over the responsibility for Emmy’s care. The team then brought the pup to the emergency clinic where she received treatment to raise her body temperature. Based on her condition and estimated age of 8-9, it appeared that Emmy had a difficult past with her previous owners.

Boesen arrived to pick up the pit mix girl on Christmas morning, and to her surprise, despite Emmy’s difficult past and health condition, she was sweet and friendly. The furry pup greeted Boesen with a wagging tail and even sought attention by making cute noises.

After being rescued from the snowstorm where she was dumped from a car, Emmy found a warm and comfortable foster home, where she spent a happy holiday season with other rescued pets. Despite the hardships she had faced, she enjoyed snuggling on couches, being wrapped in fuzzy blankets, and lying near the heater under the Christmas tree. Now, she is patiently waiting for her forever family to adopt her and give her the loving home she deserves.

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.
