A 15 year old labrador is the adoptive father of 9 ducklings

A British Labrador retriever named Fred has adopted his third group of orphaned ducklings.

According to reports, Fred, who is 15 years old, has taken groups of orphaned ducklings under his wing several times. Isn ‘t that an unusual fact?

People actually stated that in 2018, when Fred was 10 years old, he acted as a “surrogate” parent to nine orphaned ducklings.

A year later, Mountfitchet Castle in England, which is Fred’s home, posted on the social network Facebook, that the labrador had taken care of another family of ducklings that no longer had parents.

And just recently, at the end of 2022, the old dog once again became the “dad” of a new batch of ducklings.

These ducklings have lost their mother who mysteriously disappeared from the castle grounds overnight, so who else but Fred to take care of them?

Damar Hamlin offers a touching interview and reflects on his heart attack

Damar Hamlin spoke out about his cardiac arrest, saying he owes his life to his savior, Buffalo Bills assistant athletic trainer Denny Kellington, who resuscitated him on January 2 in Cincinnati.

The Bills safety made the remarks in an interview that will air Monday on ABC, and through it, he opens up fully about his near-death experience.

Hamlin, who is a believer, was quick to point out that all his life he felt God was using him to give hope to others.

Damar Hamlin received the Alan Page Community Award from the NFLPA, just over a month after his cardiac arrest.

When he received his award, he made a point of thanking an ICU doctor named Yusef, who also went through something similar.

Damar’s goal now is to support youth through education and sports with GoFundMe donations.

According to PETA, Budweiser mutilates horses!

According to PETA, beer giant Budweiser is allegedly mutilating its Clydesdale horses to keep their tails short during the filming of Super Bowl commercials, reports the New York Post.

PETA ‘s goal is to stop Budweiser ‘s upcoming annual Super Bowl horse”parade.

Budweiser, true to form, has purchased a ton of commercials for this Sunday’s scheduled duel of the titans, the Eagles vs. the Chiefs, and one of the Budweiser shows is called A Clydesdale’s Journey.

But the ugly truth behind that scenario would be that “Budweiser” horses don’t get their tails trimmed, as Bud ‘s representatives indicate. Instead, they would have a practice called “docking” done, which involves cutting a horse’s tailbone.

In reality, the tail bone would be removed with a scalpel, to cut off the blood flow, causing the tail to die.

The safety of the Clydesdales is a top priority for PETA, so at the Super Bowl kickoff, the animal rights group plans to fly a banner over Arizona’s State Farm Stadium in protest.

Fast X: The trailer is a hit!

The trailer for Fast X, the next feature film in the Fast & Furious saga, is downright explosive. In this version, Vin Diesel will be back to play the role of Dominic Toretto, while Jason Momoa will be the new villain.

During the presentation of this trailer at L.A. Live last Thursday, Diesel, 55, showed up with his family: Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris and Sung Kang.

The trailer lasts four minutes, but these four minutes make us want to teleport to May 19, 2023, the release date of the tenth film of this super franchise. A franchise that has pocketed no less than 5 billion dollars at the box office.

Note that at the ceremony, Diesel proudly wore a T-shirt in memory of his great friend and co-star Paul Walker, who left this earth in 2013.

Syria: A baby is born under the rubble of the earthquake

A baby, a little girl who was named Aya, was born under the rubble of a house destroyed by an earthquake of magnitude 7.8, which occurred in Syria and Turkey earlier this week.

The mother, named Abu Hadiya, and her baby who was clinging to her by the umbilical cord, was found through pieces of concrete and metal destroyed a little more than ten hours after the earthquake.

Unfortunately, the mother was dead when rescuers found the family, the newborn and all the rest of the family. The baby’s father and the other four children in the house were also dead under the debris.

Another hour and she would have been dead, according to the doctors…

The miracle, of course, is that the baby survived, being taken immediately to the hospital for treatment, and where the doctors named her Aya (which means “a sign from God” or ”miracle”).

Since Aya was an orphan, she was adopted by her great-uncle, Salah al Badran, who will take her home with him as soon as she leaves the hospital.

In the video that has been circulating since this tragic event, we can see the rescuers carrying the baby, who is still alive, as we recall.
