Noah the dog was stuck in a nightmare and couldn’t wake up. The hell she went through is hard to repeat or write about.
Despite her cute appearance, she was nothing more than a dirty stray dog. That upset some sick people so much that they decided to cause her serious harm.
Where she continued to live for days, under the sun and rain and tried to survive in this terrible situation.
They laughed at her pain all the time.
Every weak breath made all of us who saw her think that she would leave this world at any moment.
Her body was so thin that every bone could be counted. From the day we picked up Noah, a long road of healing began. Her entire past will be left behind
We want to convey meaningful rescue stories through each post to spread the message: “Protect animals” because they, like humans, want to live and be loved.

So Horrible ! Puppy Was Strangled And Swallowed To Death By A Giant Snake..
That day we went to visit the stray dogs, but when vwfa arrived, the whole scene made us completely scared!
A big snake is tightening around her neck, oh my god!
Despite our fear, we know that if we don’t act now the puppies will die.. No protective gear, no tools, I used my hands to pull that huge snake out of the puppy.. but the truth is not that simple..
The dogs are hungry and quite weak, maybe because they are too hungry, maybe they can’t breathe.. I saw tears falling from their eyes.. so pitiful! After a period of trying with the help of our teammates, we were able to rescue the small dogs, God bless them!
Luckily I brought milk with me, the hungry little dogs drank it very well, that’s great!
There was a small dog that after drinking milk lay down to sleep right at my feet It was really lucky, I injured my hand but I think we did the right thing.
Thank you everyone for following and supporting us. Every comment or share contributes to promoting the protection as well as rescuing and nurturing our beloved animals. I hope every creature above the world is happy!

The Heart-Stopping Account Of A Heroic Rescue Dog’s Confrontation With A Sea Of Venomous Snakes
In a profoundly moving act of kindness and loyalty, it was Max, the faithful dog, who stood before John and the dogs who advanced, protecting his owner from danger.
The story takes a turn with an ending that will certainly touch your heart and bring tears of joy to your eyes.
As John walked through the forest, completely aware that two venomous snakes were ready to attack, his loyal dog sensed the imminent danger and sprang into action.
Jon was overwhelmed with gratitude for Max’s remarkable bravery and unwavering loyalty.
Ultimately, the story of the fearless dog who courageously put himself in harm’s way to protect his owner from venomous snakes is a poignant reminder of the special bond between humans and their furry friends.
Can dogs really detect Covid-19 infections faster and more accurately than a lateral flow test?
Results indicated that not only can dogs detect Covid faster, but they can also do so in a non-intrusive manner – so no need to swab your throat or nose
Dogs can detect Covid-19 faster and more accurately than a PCR test, a new study shows.
Researchers looked at the ability of canines to recognise the virus and its variants, even when they are obscured by other viruses, like those from common colds and flu.
More than 400 scientists from over 30 countries contributed to the study as well as 147 scent dogs, according to the findings published in the Journal of Osteopathic Medicine.
After analysing many studies covering both field and clinical experiments, Professor Dickey and Junqueira found that dogs who are trained to sniff out scents are “as effective and often more effective” than antigen tests.
A total of 53 dogs were trained to sniff out Covid scents, while 37 were not and scientists found that the dogs that were not trained were in some cases “slightly superior” to those that were pre-trained.
“The previously untrained dogs have the advantage that they are not as prone to indicating on scents other than the Covid–19 associated scent,” the paper said.
The results indicated that not only can dogs detect Covid faster, but they can also do so in a non-intrusive manner. This means you won’t need to put a swab in your throat or nose.
How can dogs detect the virus?
This essentially comes down to the dog’s highly evolved nose with its ability to sense out smells quicker.
Dogs possess up to 300 million olfactory receptors in their noses, compared to about six million in humans. And the part of a dog’s brain that is devoted to analysing smells is about “40 times greater” than humans. Canines also have ‘neophilia’, which means they are attracted to new and interesting odours
And so, with all these enhancements, dogs can detect very low concentrations of odours associated with Covid infections.
“They can detect the equivalent of one drop of an odorous substance in 10.5 Olympic-sized swimming pools,” Professor Dickey said. “For perspective, this is about three orders of magnitude better than with scientific instrumentation.”
Scientists also found that in some cases, the animals were also able to detect the virus in pre-symptomatic and asymptomatic patients, “whose viral load was too low for conventional tests to work.”
Professor Dickey has said that dogs can also differentiate Covid and its different variants in the presence of other respiratory viruses. This included the common cold or flu.
“They’re much more effective. In fact, one of the authors that we quote in the paper commented that the RT-PCR test is not the gold standard anymore. It’s the dog. And they’re so quick,” he added. “They can give you the yes or no within seconds if they’re directly smelling you.”
How was the study conducted to see if dogs can really detect Covid-19?
In some studies, the dogs gave a person a quick sniff, sitting down to see if the person has Covid. In another study, the dog was given a sweat sample to smell for a few minutes.
The press release has said that scent dogs, such as beagles, basset hounds and coonhounds are the ideal candidates for sniffing out the virus, given their “natural tendencies to rely on odours to relate to the world.”
But the studies which the researchers analysed showed a variety of dogs were up for the challenge and were able to sniff out the Covid odour. With a few weeks of training, puppies, older dogs, purebred and mixed breeds, both male and female were able to sniff such odours out and “all performed admirably,” the Eureka Alert press release said.
Although there has been success with dogs detecting such viruses, researchers believe there are still many challenges with using dogs for medical diagnoses.
“There’s quite a bit of research, but it’s still considered by many as a kind of a curiosity,” said Professor Dickey.
In conclusion, Professor Dickey and Junqueira said after reviewing the studies, believe that scent dogs deserve “their place as a serious diagnostic methodology that could be particularly useful during future pandemics, potentially as part of rapid routine health screenings in public spaces.”
“Perhaps, most importantly, we argue that the impressive international quality and quantity of COVID scent dog research described in our paper for the first time, demonstrates that medical scent dogs are finally ready for a host of mainstream medical applications,” they added.
