Heartbreaking stories of animal brutality and neglect are regrettably all too frequent in our world. Recently, a video leaked online that showed a little puppy crying over the death of her siblings who were killed by stray dogs. The video is heart-wrenching and illustrates the truth of the horrible world we live in.
The video shows the little puppy clutching to her dead siblings and sisters and crying. The stray dogs had attacked and killed three puppies, leaving this little one all alone. Luckily, a good individual was able to rescue the puppy before any further damage could come to her.
It’s a heartbreaking story, but it underlines the need of animal welfare and protection. Animals, just like humans, need to be treated with love and respect. Unfortunately, there are still many stray dogs and other animals on the streets that are not being properly taken care of. This can lead to violent assaults and even death for innocent animals.
The video of the little puppy crying over her siblings is a poignant reminder of the terrible reality that many animals confront. It’s up to everyone of us to do our bit in assisting animals in need, whether that means adopting a pet, working at a local animal shelter, or simply promoting awareness about animal welfare concerns.
Let’s not forget the little puppy who survived this horrible catastrophe. She deserves a shot at a happy and healthy life, filled with love and care. And let’s do our best to make sure that instances like these don’t happen again in the future.
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.
