On a routine animal rescue mission, our team stumbled upon a heartbreaking scene: a tiny puppy buried in rubble, wailing in distress. Our hearts ached for this innocent soul, and we knew we had to act quickly to save him. As we pushed away the rocks, we found another puppy, also crying out for help. The ongoing construction and careless actions of society had placed these fragile lives in danger.
Our team felt the immense weight of responsibility as we frantically dug through the rubble, searching for the other puppy. Each passing moment was crucial, as the puppies’ lives hung in the balance. The team worked tirelessly, determined to save these innocent creatures from their dangerous predicament.
When we finally found the second puppy, our hearts broke at the sight of his weak and fragile state. We gently lifted them out of the rubble, praying that they would survive their ordeal. The emotional rescue mission was a testament to the importance of never giving up on the vulnerable beings who share our world.
The rescue of the two puppies is a powerful reminder of the importance of compassion in our society. The careless actions of human beings can have devastating consequences for the innocent animals who live among us. It is our collective responsibility to ensure the safety and well-being of these creatures and to protect them from harm.
Once the puppies were safely rescued, our team began the process of nursing them back to health. Under our care, the puppies received medical attention, proper nutrition, and the love and comfort they so desperately needed. The road to recovery was long and challenging, but each day brought signs of hope and progress.
As the puppies grew stronger, our team turned their attention to finding them loving, forever homes. The two puppies, now named Hope and Courage, were eventually adopted by kind-hearted families who promised to provide them with the love and care they deserved. The emotional rescue mission was a life-changing experience for all involved, and Hope and Courage’s story serves as an inspiration for us all.
Supermarket in Finland welcomes dogs, with special carts for canine customers
The grocery store in the Finnish city of Tampere even has an official golden retriever who tests out dog treats and shares the results in Instagram videos.
A ‘su-paw-market’ in Finland is welcoming canine customers, with specially-adapted carts which allow dog owners to bring their pooches grocery shopping.
The Kesko grocery chain in the city of Tampere has introduced the “Koirakärry” – dog cart – as a way to welcome in more dog-owning customers at one of its stores, where usually only service animals would be permitted inside the aisles.
“The idea is already used in some countries, but not in Finland, and we have a lot of dog owners nearby,” explains Matilda Tistelgren, who has been operating the supermarket with her partner Joona Pesonen since the spring.
“We have a golden retriever ourselves, and if we go out jogging with the dog and forget something from the store, we don’t want to go home, leave the dog, then have to return to the store ourselves, we want to be able to take the dog with us,” Matilda tells Euronews.
The carts have a dog bed in the bottom, and a clip for leads or harnesses, with owners encouraged to pick up their pups and put them inside – although a future version of the cart might include a small ramp so the dogs can walk in unaided.
Since taking over the management of the supermarket in Tampere’s neighbourhood Kissanmaa – which funnily enough translates as “Cat’s Land” – Matilda and Joona have introduced other pet-friendly innovations.
The couple’s own retriever Tove appears on Instagram with ‘Tove Tastes’ videos where she samples different dog treats.
“Our customers love it,” exclaims Matilda. “In this part of town we have a lot of dog owners and that means a lot of dog customers too, and we already have a lot of hairy regulars,” she adds.
