Police Found A Dog In An Unthinkable Place. How She Survived For 5 Weeks? Unbelievable.

It’s hard to imagine a dog falling out of a moving car and not dying or at least being seriously injured. But, as hard as that is to believe, that’s exactly what happened to this German Shepherd who soon became known as “Freeway Frida”.


Frida was apparently seen falling out of a tuck on Highway 99 in Galt, California. Frida was definitely hurt by the fall, but not so hurt that she couldn’t survive.

She moved into the nearest bit of land that wasn’t covered with moving vehicles.

As you’re probably able to guess, that piece of land was the Highway’s median. There Frida lived for five weeks. But she didn’t live unnoticed. Officer Silvia Coelho said that calls poured into her police station every single day from people who spotted Frida trapped on that median.

For five weeks, though, Frida couldn’t be found. She somehow kept getting away from the police officers. Apparently she didn’t realize that they were there to help.

As of this Saturday, though, Frida was captured, and now she’s been brought to a vet where she can have her injuries properly treated.

She’s being treated at the VCA Bradshaw Animal Hospital in Elk Grove, California, and though she was clearly reluctant to be picked up by humans, she seems pretty happy to be around them now.

Maybe that’s because of all the loving attention that she’s been getting! No one has yet come forward to claim Frida, and if that keeps up, she’ll be put up for adoption, but this cutie won’t have any trouble finding herself a home.

“I’m Not Leaving You, Mama!” This is What Love Looks Like.

UPDATE: Lizzie and Phantom are currently recovering in an outdoor koala ward within the  Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital . They’re doing swimmingly; Phantom is both gaining weight and exploring his temporary habitat. And of course, mama and baby are sharing more adorable cuddles! For most species in the animal kingdom, the bond between mother and baby is incredibly strong. That's pretty much inarguable. But last week, two koalas in Australia further proved it. After they were hit by a car, Lizzie and her joey, Phantom were welcomed into the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital. Six-month-old Phantom had escaped the accident unscathed. Lizzie, however, wasn’t looking so good, what with facial trauma and a collapsed lung. In order to survive, she needed to go under the surgeon’s knife. But this marsupial mama wasn’t alone during the life-saving procedure. Phantom accompanied her and clung to her as she received treatment. The vets let them be; Phantom was too y...

The Sound Of This Baby Rhino Wailing After Its Mother Was Killed By Poachers Will Haunt You

It’s one of the most sorrowful sounds you’ll ever hear, but it’s also a sad reality check for anyone who thinks protected species are safe from illegal poaching. In a video released this in July, a baby rhino named Davi cries for his mother after she was shot and killed by poachers. Most rhinos spend at least three years with their mothers before weaning,  the Dodo  reports, but Davi’s childhood was cut short at just 8 months old. The baby rhino stood close by his mother’s lifeless body until rescuers arrived. They fitted her with earplugs and a blindfold to calm his anxiety on the way to The Rhino Orphanage in South Africa. Source: YouTube/Terrence Daniels Davi huddles close to his mother’s dead body. It was there that Davi spent the night crying. “His calls for mom echoed deeply and urgently throughout the night, but two carers have been with him every step of the way,”  caretakers posted . “At least he is in good physical condition [and] has no injuries...

VOTE YES ON 13 to End Cruel and Inhumane Dog Racing!

Greyhounds have been forced to run their hearts out for so many years in Florida. On average, a greyhound dies on a Florida track every three days. It is home to 11 of the remaining 17 greyhound tracks in the United States. Celebrities and animal welfare groups are coming together to urge the public to vote Yes on Amendment 13. Amendment 13  is a proposed constitutional amendment that would phase out greyhound racing in the state by the year 2020. The cruel and inhumane dog racing industry needs to end and the first step starts with the Florida vote. Voters in Florida will have a historic opportunity to save thousands of greyhounds.
