Animal Lovers Cram Small Plane With 27 Puppies On Mission To Save Them From Being Euthanized

A group of animal lovers became internet and real-life heroes after posting a video of them aboard a small plane crammed with 27 puppies during a rescue mission to prevent the dogs from being euthanized.

Cassandra Bergeron and her friends had recorded the rescue during their 45-minute flight from the shelter in Enterprise, Alabama, to Orlando on September 29.

The TikTok video, which has since garnered 13.4 million views and 2.9 million likes, captured the puppies happily wagging their tongues and cuddling with their human saviours.

“I was in pure bliss. I didn't want to land,” Bergeron said. “I couldn't stop smiling the entire time.”

She and the other women made the rescue in July after Bergeron was asked by a pilot friend, who is in training, to help get the dogs from the shelter.

Many Southern states have been forced to euthanize animals in shelters because of overcrowding.

The women contacted Michael Young, a University of Central Florida professor and pilot, who has saved more than 7,000 dogs as part of Alabama Puppy Rescue Flights.

Bergeron said that the puppies were excited to see the women after they landed and played with them until it was time to board again.

The women made sure not to pack or bring anything that took up too much space in order to fit all the puppies.

Bergeron's video captured several of the puppies cuddling in her arms while the others were jumping on her friends in the back of the plane.

She captioned the video “Guess how many puppies we rescued?” as her and her friends were delighted to be in the puppy-filled aircraft.

The dogs were handed over to Florida rescue volunteers, who took the tiny creatures to Orlando-area shelters. They have all been adopted.

Rough Collie Is Now The Most Aggressive Dog, According To Science

Often touted for being highly affectionate, Rough Collie has topped the list of 23 other types of dogs known to be “aggressive,” according to new study published in Scientific Reports. Researchers from Helsinki who studied the behaviour of more than 9,000 dogs covering 24 breeds found that Long-Haired Collies, like Rough Collie, Miniature Poodle, and Miniature Schnauzer are more likely than others to exhibit aggressive behaviour. The study also revealed that small dogs are more likely to behave aggressively than mid-sized and large dogs, but due to their size, are often not seen as threatening and the bad behaviour therefore goes unaddressed. Male dogs are also more aggressive than females and neutering them has no impact. The researchers noted that Labradors and Golden Retrievers known for their docile temperament and gentle nature, are the least aggressive dog breeds. Notable breeds such as Rottweilers, Dobermans and British Bulldogs were however not included in the list. ...

The Practical Path to a Pet-Friendly Rental: A Data-Backed Guide

“I would have lived in a tent before I surrendered my dog ,” says Valerie Ducharme, a renter who faced the Yukon's housing crisis with her Australian shepherd. Her sentiment is common. According to a 2023 Canadian Rental Housing Index report , nearly 40% of rental households include pets, yet a systematic analysis of listings in major Canadian markets shows that less than 30% explicitly welcome them.

Irish Fisherman Stunned After Hauling Up 'Dinosaur Fish' Thought to Be Extinct

An Irish fisherman got the shock of a lifetime when he pulled a living fossil from the deep; a monster fish that hadn't been seen in local waters for generations. Declan O'Sullivan, skipper of the Portmagee trawler the Trinity, was fishing off the coast of Valentia Island in County Kerry when his net grew heavy with an incredible catch. As he hauled it in, he was met with a sight that seemed to belong in a different era: a massive, six-foot-long sturgeon. The fish was a rugged, ancient-looking creature, unlike anything he had caught before. Unsure of exactly what he had discovered, O'Sullivan did what any modern fisherman would do: he snapped pictures and sent them to an expert. The expert, marine biologist Kevin Flannery, could hardly believe his eyes. "I nearly fell over," Flannery said. "To see this fossil species, this dinosaur fish, back in our waters is incredible." This was no ordinary fish. It was a caviar sturgeon, a species that has survived fo...
