OT: #MustLoveDogs #friendship

This may be a made-for-Netflix movie someday:

A man contacts his friend in another country and asks him to pick up a puppy he bought and bring it home with him when the friend flies back the next day.

The friend agrees, picks up a little husky puppy, and heads to the airport to catch his flight.

Did you know that EU law requires puppies to have an EU pet passport or an animal health certificate to board a flight? And a very young puppy that hasn't been vaccinated yet can't get an animal health certificate?

I don't know how many days it's been already, but that guy is still sitting in an airport in the EU because he promised his friend he would stay with the puppy and bring it home with him.

I'd love to see a good movie about an adorable husky puppy running around in an airport, waiting for a passport, wouldn't you? 😂

Bless that friend who wouldn't just leave a little puppy.

Trump hates animals and he appoints people who abuses them. According to this 1910 article from The Atlantic, he would be described as "abnormal" and ungodly. #Dogs #MustLoveDogs

Police officers in my area sometimes pick up stray dogs, put them in the back seat of their patrol cars, and then bring them to the town shelter so the shelter can try to track down their owners.

When one officer went into the shelter to tell them he had a dog for them, this happy detainee decided to move up to the driver's seat of the patrol car.

[And no, this pupper is not up for adoption. His owners were called and came and retrieved their joyful escape artist. ]

PSA:

This was a rough week in my area with dogs getting dumped by the side of the parkway or chained to a pole in the rain at a store and left there.

If you can't keep your dog, please, please, please don't just dump them. Take them to your nearest animal shelter and tell them you can't keep them anymore. And if you have to, leave them at a shelter where they will be found quickly and not left out in the elements for hours.

They loved you and trusted you. Don't traumatize them by just dumping them. 😭

OK, if you can, just look at this dog. Look at that face and that personality.

"Chance" is at the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter, hoping for a furever friend and home: https://hempsteadny.gov/179/Animal-Shelter

@malwaretech Oh, as someone who has 2 huskies here, I can tell you have to have at least 2. I think it's a rule somewhere... :)

Best of luck.

My annual PSA for anyone else who doesn't care about football:

PuppyBowl XX is today! And there is now a PuppyBowl Hall of Fame and four former players will be inducted.

Kickoff for Puppy Bowl XX is at 2 p.m. ET. The pre-game show begins at 1 p.m. ET.

The Puppy Bowl will be aired on Animal Planet, Discovery, Discovery+, MAX, TBS and truTV.

I'm pretty sure Taylor Swift won't be showing up for this one because she's got her priorities a bit off.
