A Monument Is Being Built In Honor Of Pshon, The Hero Dog Of Kazakhstan Floods

A Kazakh sculptor is creating a monument in honor of hero dog Pshon, who helped in the rescue efforts during the spring floods last year in Kazakhstan.

The sculptor, Azamat Kenzhegaliyev, began working on the sculpture days after finding out about Pshon’s death.

Pshon gained widespread fame in April last year after videos of him carrying transport sandbags during efforts to build a dam to protect the banks of the Ural River went viral.

Pshon’s owner has had him for more than three years. Kaz.Press reveals that Pshon has been helping his owner since the anti-flooding campaign began.

Pshon is from a city in Kazakhstan called Atyrau. His owner said, “Our dog is harmless to humans. He is a dog that never leaves our side. He does whatever we ask him to do.”

“He even helped my friend that day. When we carry the bags, he goes in circles. The load he carries is not heavy, even having bags that do not contain anything inside,” he adds.

However, on December 24, Kazinform reveals that Pshon was shot in November by local veterinary station staff tasked with eliminating stray animals.

The Astana Times reveals that Pshon was shot alongside stray dogs because it did not have registration documents and an ear tag, which made him officially be classified as a stray in the country.

The completion of the monument which is being made in honor of Pshon remains uncertain.

However, the Astana Times reveals that the monument’s design features a figure of Pshon made of interlinked metal hearts, symbolizing the dog’s sincere affection, unconditional love, and loyalty to humans.

Furthermore, Pshon’s owners shared a clip of the progress of Pshon’s monument on their Tiktok account. You can check it out here.

Watch The Heartwarming Moment A Deaf Dog Adopts An Orphaned Baby Goat

A couple who owns a farm in Arizona decided to rescue an orphaned baby goat, but it was their deaf dog who stepped up and decided to adopt the kid.

The couple, known as “Farm of Milk and Honey” on TikTok shared the heartwarming story of how their deaf Pit Bull dog, Evie, decided to adopt an orphaned baby goat, later named by the couple as Branch.

On November 24, Farm of Milk and Honey shared a video of an orphaned baby goat on their TikTok account.

The caption on the video read, “PLEASE watch this video for 60 seconds so my wife thinks bringing THIS home was a good idea.”

In the video, the husband explains how a lady down the neighboring property called asking for help with an orphaned baby goat.

“With the owner having very few options… of course we stepped in to help,” confirming that they have decided to officially adopt the kid.

When Branch arrived at the farm, the dogs became very fond of him, and so did he!

“He really likes the dogs. And Evie is thrilled to have a new baby,” with video clips of Evie sniffing Branch.

Furthermore, the couple revealed that Branch will have a whole pack of dogs to protect him until he’s old enough to join the farm’s goat herd.

In a follow up video, the couple reveals, “When we brought this orphaned goat home, our ultimate hope was that one of the female dogs would claim him… And Evie did right away.”

In the video, Branch is seen taking “his bottle like a champ” and is revealed to just spend his whole day by Evie’s side.

The story of Evie and Branch has gone viral on TikTok with one of their videos reaching 2.1 million views and 230,000 likes.

Farm of Milk and Honey further shared that Evie is absolutely loving being a foster mom to baby Branch. The kid would follow Evie everywhere and is revealed to be constantly under Evie.

“He loves all of the other dogs too, but Evie is a clear favorite,” the couple explains.

Even though Evie is deaf, she doesn’t let this stop her from keeping the farm interesting and making sure she keeps her owners on their toes!

Her huge personality certainly makes up for the lack of hearing! Her owners reveal some of her best farm moments, which include drinking milk directly from the farm cows, befriending coyotes and getting bit in the ear in return, stealing the kids’ snacks, and getting bullied by farm animals.

But more than the mischief she gets into, her owners highlight how big her heart is and how she welcomes the strays that her owners bring into their farm.

She even adopted a sick calf once before baby Branch came into her life!

And because everyone was curious if the pair will stay together or not, the couple confirmed that “Yes, Evie and Branch will get to stay together forever here.”

The couple wrote, “Evie is loving all of the attention and positive comments!! Thank you all so much! Evie and Branch are doing AMAZING!”

Missing Dog Turns Up Close To Home And Reunites With Family Ahead Of Christmas Day

A family truly has a lot to be thankful for during Christmas after reuniting with their missing dog, with special thanks to the family’s neighbor finding the pooch.

NBC Connecticut shared that the dog, an energetic Golden Retriever named Bronco was only a few months old.

On the afternoon of December 23, Bronco made his paw-rents, Justin and Anna Tralli, worried sick after he was outside and got spooked by some trash cans.

“He just took off and there was no stopping him. He wouldn’t come back to any of our commands,” Justin Tralli told NBC.

Tralli recounts the experience saying that the pooch sprinted down High Street from their Higganum home before they lost sight of him as he went into the woods.

He added that after initially looking for the pooch, he posted on social media about Bronco, and that’s when locals began helping, including the Trallis’ next door neighbor Tom Tomphson.

Thompson said, “I went this way. They went that way, calling the dog and we stayed out there until right around 5 o’clock when we couldn’t see anything anymore.”

Tralli, who was worried about the cold and possible coyote danger in the woods, searched for the pooch by himself in the middle of the night.

The worried owner explains, “I actually found some of his tracks, so I started following those up one of the trails and when I lost his tracks, I actually stopped and built a little fire on the woods just hoping maybe he would come to me.”

But there were no signs of Bronco until the morning of Christmas Eve. However, tables have turned when Thompson was picking up firewood and noticed something by the wood pile.

“I kind of look forward, ‘Is that who I think? Bronco, is that you?’ And I wasn’t sure from the distance,” Thompson explained.

Thompson then realized that it was indeed Bronco and began calling him. When he got hold of the energetic pooch, he immediately called the Trallis, who were obviously overjoyed.

“That image will forever be etched in my brain of Tom holding Bronco. I thought I was hallucinating,” Anna Tralli said.

Now that Bronco is back home and didn’t miss Christmas with the family, the Trallis said they’re grateful to their community, especially Thompson, for all the help they did.

The family also said they’re taking steps to keep Bronco from running away again. “We’re going to be getting him a GPS collar and a very substantial electric fence,” Justin Tralli said.
