Love the videos, Stella. I’m partial to the man who uses his drones to save pets. Bless him!

Wow. Handsome and Italian. That little wink when he got the picture about did me in.

Yes, indeedy! Nice hair, too. Genuinely handsome. I’d wager that he’s the kind of man who is a family leader, one that Italians call a “padre premuroso.” which means caring father.
Hope he gives the photo to his wife or girlfriend.

I passed the dog adoption info along to my son. They are currently fostering a retired dog who served in the Green Berets because his person (his former military handler) was assigned overseas for a year. At the end of that year we are all going to be lost without Walter, and my nine year old grandson is going to experience real heartbreak for the first time.
Thank you Stella, maybe this can be an option for them.

I think Leader Dogs for the Blind has an adoption program for dropouts too.

I had to watch the parakeet pitching a fit a couple of times. They are all uplifting.

Good evening, everyone!
This is a pleasant, useful and entertaining compilation.
Menagerie, I hope your family can find a new canine for your grandson. Perhaps before Walter returns to his former handler. It might ease the “breakup”.
That parakeet? Either well-trained, or a definite character, no doubt intelligent. The contract between the two birds is remarkable.
