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.


Share away, people.

“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...

Tesco: Ditch palm oil in your own-brand products!

>>>SIGN PETITION HERE<<< My name is Oscar, I’m 15 and I want to do everything I can to protect our environment .  I was really upset and angry when I found out about the huge deforestation that is involved in the palm oil industry,  and that’s why I’m calling on Tesco to ditch palm oil from their own-brand products. Iceland has already banned palm oil from their own brand products, so we know that this is possible for Tesco too. As the largest supermarket in the UK (and using over 40,000 tonnes of palm oil every year!), Tesco has an opportunity to set an example to other supermarkets and food producers that  destroying swathes of forests for palm oil is not acceptable. I run a online cause called ‘Justice4Earth’ ( @justice4earth  on Instagram and  @justice4earth  on Twitter) where I raise awareness about environmental issues. I found out that palm oil is literally everywhere: from shampoos, toothpastes and detergen...

SIGN NOW! BAN THE SALE OF CRUEL ‘LIVE ANIMAL’ KEYCHAINS

>>> Sign the petition now to tell China to ban live animal keychains! <<< Turtles, fish and lizards are being stuffed and sealed into plastic bags and sold on the streets as keychains in China. The cost of these animals lives? About $1.50. Swimming in a small pool of colored water, the animals only last until the oxygen is used up. Then, they can theoretically be released and kept as pets – although it’s doubtful that the same people who think an animal makes a nifty trinket have the slightest clue about how to properly care for them. In an interview with CNN, David Neale, animal welfare director of Animals Asia said, “Lack of food and diminishing oxygen concentrations within both the water and the small amount of air in these plastic pouches will cause the animals to die in a relatively short period of time after the pouches are sealed.” 😠So Cruel😠 ACTUAL REAL LIVE ANIMALS are being sealed into tiny plastic pouches and sold as f**king ke...
