These Two Stray Puppies Were Just Rescued, And They Refuse To Stop Hugging Each Other
You might call it puppy love, but these two lovely friends can’t seem to keep their paws apart.
A pair of inseparable stray puppies have been melting hearts on social media after being supposedly adopted by Buddhist nuns in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
The bigger pup is shown protecting a shrine within the temple as his buddy is held in his paws.
Another image depicts the dog in a Zen position next to a Buddhist statue, hinting that he is studying meditation with the masters.
The doggie pair was apparently taken in by the temple after being abandoned on the streets of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and given a fresh lease on life.
In reaction to the folks, hundreds of comments gushing over the canine friends swamped social networking site Weibo.
‘Because the dogs are now in the temple, they must sit in meditation like the nuns,’ one user said.
Others scolded the puppies’ prior owners for abandoning them.
‘I’m not sure how people can be so harsh. They shouldn’t have acquired the dogs in the first place if they couldn’t care for them!’
However, contrary social media chatter has called the dogs’ suffering into question.
A monk from Bao Hoa Son Temple in Khanh Hoa Province, according to one Twitter source, saved them.
“Those puppies were born at that temple in Vietnam, and the nuns taught them to stand and hug each other,” said Mira Eleonora Pantazopol Lordanescu, a linguist at Bucharest’s Faculty of Linguistics, painting a much bleaker picture.
“There is no happy ending… the little black one died because they don’t have any type of veterinarian treatment there for the animals they have,” Lordanescu, who uses her Facebook account to uncover alleged animal scams, maintained.
‘Hot and lethargic’ dogs found under tarp in US with surrender note
Authorities in the US state of Indiana, are asking for public help and cooperation after finding two dogs inside a cage under a tarp without water.
According to Police Department, the dogs were found in a street in the town of Connersville, about 120kms south-east of Indianapolis
They were “hot and lethargic” inside the cage due to heat and lack of air flow, officers said.
The animals had also defecated inside the crate and were confined in a very small area, where movement was nearly impossible, police said.
The owners left a note to “surrender” the dogs to whoever found them and left a bag of dog food and small amount of water in the cage, according to police.
The dogs, named Kilo and Rosco, were handed to a local animals shelter, despite it already being over capacity.
The Connersville Police Department asked anyone with interest in adopting the dogs or any other pets to contact the Fayette County Animal Shelter.
