Adoptable Chinese Shar Pei, Nala, is Always Happy to See Her People
The Shar Pei is an ancient dog dating back more than 2,000 years to China’s Han Dynasty. They are known for being steadfastly loyal to family. While the breed is well-known in the West for its deep wrinkles, a traditional, less wrinkled form of the animal is said to be maintained in Hong Kong. But none of that matters to Nala, as looks mean nothing to her. What is important is that she meets someone who wants to include her as a cherished family member for the rest of her life.

No More Crazy Cat Lady, Feline Fanciers Are “In” on Dating Apps

If anything, they appear to be doing just fine, if not better. In a review of 1,000 American cat owners versus 1,000 individuals who don’t have any, data assembled found that marriage rates among either group were, for all intents and purposes, essentially the same at 79 percent.

Former Turtle Egg Poachers in the Philippines Turn Protectors
Growing up in the Philippines, construction worker Johnny Manlugay combs the beaches each night for the eggs of sea turtles. He knows exactly what to look for, as he was trained as a child by his grandfather on how to locate the animals and their eggs. Back then, his family traded or ate them.

Keep Up with the Spanish Water Dog Breed
The Spanish Water Dog was developed on the Iberian Peninsula (which covers Spain and Portugal) to hunt, help farmers, herd and assist fisherman. Although his name makes him sound like he’d belong in the Sporting Group (and indeed he does like both water and sports), the American Kennel Club placed him in the herding group because of his strong herding history and instincts. The breed was fully recognized by the AKC in 2015. The dog was ranked 145th in popularity in 2021 by the AKC. How much does the Spanish Water Dog weigh? Male Spanish...
