Animals in People Magazine

so i was reading the people magazine the other day and i came to a page about animals. the article was about animals that needed artificial limbs because they were in accidents. the first article was a dolphin that needed a artificial tail. the dolphin got caught in a crab trap and lost its tail. it was only three months old at the time and they did not think she was going to survive so they brought her to a marine center. after months of swimming with no tail, the marine center got it an artificial tail that helps the dolphin learn the up and down motion that dolphin's use to glide through the ocean. another story was about a turtle that got hurt in a shark attack. in order to save the turtle people used a surf board to recreate the back of its shell and fin. the amazing things about these stories is the dedication people have towards their animals. people will go to any lengths to help these animals that cannot help themselves.

  5. makes sense that people go so far or their animals, like my brother's dog would never let any harm come to my nephews, such dedication should be rewarded

  6. yesterday a dog came into my vet with about a 6x3 inch patch of decaying flesh on its neck, it looked like whale blubber and wreaked...the woman said she noticed the "cut" a week before but there were flies on it that day so she decided to bring it in...it's a shame what people don't do for their pets

  7. eww! you should have kept that dog for youself and Not let him home with her! it's not right! my boyfriends mom LOVES all animals. She has horse and swan food in the trunk of her BMW so she can feed them on the way to work everyday and they aren't even hers! She just feels bad for them! Haha. We need more people like her in the world!!

  8. The zoo i worked in in jerusalem actually made headlines because they had a tortoise whose hind legs are paralyzed, they built a device that was basically a skateboard that could strap around her, but unfortunately it cause too much stress on her neck and the rest of her spine so they had to take it off... well it was a good attempt
