🚨 BREAKING: Gov. Ron DeSantis announces PROSECUTIONS are coming for anyone abandoning their DOG or pet in the path of Hurricane Isaias landfall tonight
"You BETTER TREAT THEM PROPERLY. If you don't, if you leave them in the path of a hurricane, YOU WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE." 🔥
WE PROTECT DOGS IN FLORIDA ☀️
This comes after someone left a DOG to DIE on the side of the road before Milton, but the dog was RESCUED before anything could happen
"That you'd tie a dog up on the side of the freeway?"
That dog, Trooper, was found tied to a fence on I-75 in Tampa with floodwaters rising. A Florida Highway Patrol trooper pulled him out
After that, Florida passed "Trooper's Law," making it a FELONY to leave a dog tied up and stranded during a disaster
TAKE YOUR PETS. Give them to a free hurricane shelter.

Let’s also remember the four legged heroes of 9/11. Before any humans dare enter the rubble of the World Trade Centre Towers the rescue dogs went in first

Ryker, a German Shepherd, failed his service dog certification after getting distracted by a plush elephant during his focus test.
His owner bought him the toy anyway, and he later went viral carrying it proudly through a train station. 🐶❤️

This is Cooper. He tried to politely decline the blowout, but apparently it's a nonnegotiable part of his spa package. 13/10

This is Fidèle. He's the most photographed dog in the world. He napped on that windowsill over the Groenerei canal in Bruges for over a decade. Tour boats paused so visitors could take photos of Fidèle. He passed away in 2016, but not before making millions of people smile. 14/10
ALT a half dozen tourists in a boat look over at the handsome yellow lab in his little window. one person with a ponytail has raised a digital camera to take a picture of him in his ivy-draped nest.
ALT a photo of a yellow lab lounging on a pillow in an open window of an older brick building draped with ivy. his paws rest over the ledge, and he’s looking wistfully off to the side.

This is Albie. He was so touched by his family singing happy birthday in his native language that he didn't notice the cupcakes with his face on them. 13/10 hbd Albie #SeniorPupSaturday

a great tip if you’re packing for a trip is to ignore all the clothes you feel comfortable in and wear on a regular basis and instead bring a long velvet skirt you’ve never worn before that’s slightly too small and doesn’t go with any of your shirts or shoes

It took about 12 hours after my father‘s election win for Hamas to call for peace! @realDonaldTrump isn’t even president yet and he’s already getting it done. Spectacular.
