Stray Dog Keeps Bringing Gifts To A Woman That Fed Him And His Mother To...

Meet Tua Plu, a stray doggie who knows a thing or two about good manners and always brings a little gift to the woman who feeds him. A video of Tua Plu the dog, whose name translates to “winged bean,” making his daily exchange has spread across the web and melted netizens’ hearts.

“When he’s hungry, he will offer something to get fed,” Thailand-based Orawan Kaewla-iat, a lady who gives food to homeless dogs, wrote on Facebook. “Every day he shows up with an object in his mouth — usually a leaf and sometimes a piece of paper. Before you feed other dogs, you have to feed Tua Plu and his mom.”

The pooch knows that this kind of behaviour is more endearing that just going straight to the rice bowls offered to the strays. Orawan, who lives at the housing for the City Police, said that she’s worried no one will feed Tua Plu because she will be moving out of the residence soon.

Orawan’s post with a little video of the polite doggie in action went viral and gained admirers all around the world, with people enquiring how they could adopt Tua Plu. Hopefully, soon Tua Plu and his mom will find a loving forever home – someone who will be a very lucky owner and can expect to be showered with gifts every single day.

This Giant Panda Knows How To Pose For Selfies With Tourist

A cute giant panda has stolen the limelight of Chinese social media for its exceptional sense of photography. The black-and-white bear, living in south-west China's Chengdu city, seems to know how to strike poses as a tourist took selfies with it. Pictures show that the eager animal even tried to grab the selfie stick at one point. The pictures first appeared on China's social media platform on January 11.

The panda was being looked after by the Dujiangyan Panda Base in the Chengdu city. The woman was a tourist and she was trying to have pictures taken with the panda, which is a service the centre offers. A total of six pictures were released. 

Two of them were taken by an onlooker and showed the bear snuggling up to the woman held the selfie stick. In the pictures, the panda looked right into the mobile phone, appearing to be curious. The other four pictures were said to be the selfie pictures the woman had taken. 

The panda appeared to adopt a professional pose, putting its right paw under its chin in one image. In another picture, the animal enjoyed his bamboo while staring into the lens. Chinese media are smitten with the photogenic panda. They praised that the animal should know the best camera angle to look skinny and beautiful in pictures. 

Founded in 2011, the Chengdu  of Giant Panda Breeding is specialised in re-introducing the bears into the wild. The centre is a part of the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, which has around 108 bears in captivity, the largest artificial breeding populations of pandas in the world. In March, 2016, another panda at the centre was caught snuggling up to its keeper, giving him a kiss before posing for a selfie with the man.

“World’s Saddest Polar Bear” moved to ocean park after outpouring of out...

Global anger at the plight of 'the saddest polar bear in the world', who was caged in appalling conditions in a Chinese shopping mall, has borne fruit, with the mall owners agreeing to send him back to the ocean park where he was born. 

Earlier this year a viral video of the three-year-old bear, called Pizza, slumped on his side, her mouth quivering, broke the hearts of animal lovers around the world. Pizza repeatedly thumped his paws against a metal door and chucked ice lumps about with his mouth before falling asleep in a dark corner. 

The owners of Grandview Shopping Mall in the city of Guangzhou in southern China came under huge pressure both nationally and internationally and they have now relented and grudgingly agreed to move Pizza to an ocean park in northern China. They said it was a 'temporary' move - suggesting they plan to renovate the aquarium where he was housed - but gave no more details. The mall owners announced on the Chinese social media platform, Weibo, they were sending Pizza back to the park, where he was born and where he will be reunited with his parents. 

Dr Peter Li, from Humane Society International, said: 'Pizza the polar bear has endured a life of deprivation and suffering in his small, artificial glass-fronted room at the shopping mall, so the news that he's getting out at last makes me very happy and relieved for him. 'But we implore the mall to make this a permanent move for Pizza and to not condemn him to return. At last he will feel the sun on his fur, sniff fresh air and see the sky above him in the company of his mum and dad. 'No amount of renovation could ever make a shopping mall a suitable place for this animal, and to send him back now would be cruel and heartless.' 

Qin Xiaona, director of Capital Animal Welfare Association, said: 'It's a good decision, the right decision for Pizza, but it's not the end. 'Temporary is not good enough. Now we hope that Grandview will learn from this episode and move Pizza permanently so that he never again has to endure the dreadful life in a shopping mall. 

Pizza was the main attraction for the aquarium in the shopping centre and there was a constant stream of tourists snapping selfies against the enclosure's glass panels. Children sporadically thumped against the glass and aquarium staff did nothing to stop them. The three-year-old polar bear had barely enough room to turn around in as he was gawped at from all angles by visitors to the shopping centre attraction.

Parrot squawking saucy words exposes man's affair with his housemaid in ...

A man almost ended up going to jail after a family pet exposed his affair with the housemaid. The alleged affair came to light after the parrot started to repeat flirty phrases in front of his wife, who hadn’t heard anything like this for some time.

Nevertheless, the case has made headlines around the world. It’s not the first time a parrot has allegedly exposed a secret love affair. In 2006, a bird reportedly revealed his owner Suzy’s affair with a work colleague by shouting out ‘I love you Gary’ in front of her boyfriend – whose name was Chris. In 2014, a shrieking pet parrot helped the police solve the murder case of a woman in Uttar Pradesh, India.

She had wondered for a while about her husband’s relationship with their maid at their home in Kuwait, according to Al Shahed Daily. So when the bird started to parrot what it had overheard, she seized on it as evidence and went to police.

Adultery is illegal in the Gulf state, carrying a potential prison sentence or even hard labour. If the bird’s evidence had been admitted, he could have faced a severe penalty for his indiscretion. But thankfully for him, the authorities said the squawkings could not be admitted in court, as it could not be proved that the bird hadn’t heard the intimate conversation on TV or the radio. It was not deemed a credible witness and the case did not proceed, even though the wife said she had suspected it for some time and that her husband became anxious if she arrived home unexpectedly from work.

Owl Missed The Man Who Saved Her So Much She Couldn’t Stop Hugging Him

GiGi, a great horned owl, was completely alone until she met the one man she'd never forget. GiGi first arrived at Mississippi's Wild at Heart Rescue toward the end of May after suffering significant head trauma, which the rescue suspects was the result of being hit by a car. She had a massive concussion, her body was riddled with parasites and she had a condition called aspergillosis, which is similar to pneumonia in humans, Missy Dubuisson, founder and director of Wild at Heart, told The Dodo.


GiGi was so ill that, during the course of her treatment, she lost an entire pound of weight — which was a lot, considering great horned owls typically weigh anywhere from 2 to 5 pounds. "This bird was one of the most critical we have ever taken care of," Dubuisson said. "The fact that this bird has lived is beyond comprehension." But if there was anyone at the rescue who could help GiGi get back in good health, it would be Douglas "Doug" Pojeky, president of the rescue and affectionately known as the "birds of prey whisperer."

"In all my years of working with birds of prey, I have never seen someone with such a bond with these magnificent birds," Dubuisson said. Under Pojeky's care, GiGi went from knocking at "death's door to perching," Dubuisson said. She also went from being hand-fed to grabbing food on her own. GiGi had undoubtedly come to trust and care for Pojeky, and she made it known just how much in the most surprising way.

Pojeky had been a trip to Michigan, visiting family, leaving GiGi without his company for awhile. After Pojeky returned, he gave GiGi an examination and she immediately started bobbing her head and dancing on his arm. Then, she slowly walked up to his chest, rested her head on his shoulder and draped her wings around him in a fully fledged owl hug. The look of pure content on her face just before she embraced Pojeky showed just how happy she was to be reunited with her favorite human.

Pojeky told The Dodo that being hugged by GiGi held a particularly special importance to him. Growing up, a great horned owl used to perch on the top of Pojeky's family barn. While Pojeky's father often saw the owl, Pojeky and the rest of his family rarely did. However, on the morning of his father's death, the owl was spotted overlooking the farm house, where Pojeky's father had passed away, before flying off into the woods. "For some reason when that bird was hugging me, all I could think of was my dad," Pojeky said.

Once GiGi makes a full recovery, she'll be released back into the wild. But in the meantime, she has Pojeky to lean on. "It literally brings tears to my eyes to watch him interact with these birds," Dubuisson said. "They absolutely know him and trust him. It's the trust that you see in her face."
