Smart Dog Alerts Pet Store Owners That He Has Been Taken by Strangers

Smart Dog Alerts Pet Store Owners That He Has Been Taken by Strangers

The puppy somehow felt that this was his chance to seek help.

Animals have a special way of communicating, even if we humans can’t always understand their language.

This story is about a smart five-month-old Australian shepherd named Vango, who relied on his doggy instincts to rescue himself from dognappers.

The clever pup ended up in a store with the people who took him, and he cleverly signaled to the store owners that something was wrong.

The incident happened at an animal store in Gatineau, Quebec, Canada.

Vango kept barking and trying to get the store owner’s attention.

Yves Jodoin, who works at the store and is a dog trainer at Au Royaume des Animaux, immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Knowing dogs and their behaviors, Yves recognized that Vango’s constant barking indicated he was feeling distressed.

At first, Yves thought Vango might be hungry and barking for a treat.

But even after giving Vango a cookie, the barking didn’t stop, and Yves started to wonder.

Yves shared with CBC Canada, “The dog was barking, the dog was poking and he really wanted my attention. I was giving the dog cookies, but the dog was still barking.”

Yves became even more suspicious when the couple who brought Vango into the store couldn’t answer simple questions about the dog.

They didn’t know his age, whether he had been spayed or neutered, his favorite food, or where he came from.

“They were evading the questions,” Yves recalled.

Another staff member, Lydia Blouin, also felt that something was not right.

She decided to look through local social media pages to see if there were any posts about lost pets.

It didn’t take them long to come across a picture of Vango, who had been reported as missing.

The dog had been seen at his home in Buckingham just a few hours before he appeared at the store.

All of a sudden, Yves recognized Vango – he had trained him when he was just a puppy!

“At that point I said, ‘Vango, come!’ And the dog was reacting, he was jumping,” Yves said. “All along he was barking and poking, trying to say, ‘Hello, I’m not the dog they say I am.’”

With this evidence before them, the couple admitted that Vango wasn’t their dog.

They explained that they had found him in the woods and wanted to keep him as a support animal because the woman couldn’t afford a dog and had health issues.

Yves convinced them to leave Vango at the store, and another employee contacted the real owner, Josée Francoeur.

They were the ones who reached out to the dog’s owner.

Josée was completely surprised by the news.

She was certain that Vango wouldn’t simply run away.

“Is it possible that someone took him? And I was thinking, ‘Who could do that? It’s impossible!” she said.

Receiving the call from Yves brought immense relief to Josée. “I can’t talk about it without crying,” she confessed.

“Imagine, If those people didn’t go to that pet store, I would have lost my dog forever.”

As soon as she heard the news, she quickly scheduled an appointment to have Vango microchipped, ensuring such incidents wouldn’t happen again in the future.

As for the people who took Vango, Josée reported the incident to the local police department by filing an official complaint.

“I don’t want to cause them problems. We don’t know why they did it. But at the same time, they took my baby,” she said.

“I want to discourage others from doing this.”

Thanks to Vango’s clever actions, he is now safely back with his loving owner.

What a smart and amazing dog!

These Pics Are Art and the Artists Are Insects

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.

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

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.
