After 4-year-old Cleo went missing, her owners found the dog where they had not expected: in the house where they used to live.
Two years ago, this American family moved from Lawson, Missouri to Olath, Kansas. However, Cleo was probably yearning for the old house and decided to visit it.
As a result, the dog walked about 92 km from one state to another. At the same time, she crossed the river in an incomprehensible way.
Not only people want to go back to where they felt good.
On the porch of the house where Cleo once lived with the owners, new tenants found the Labrador. Returning from work, Colton Michael and his wife were surprised by an unknown dog, which was clearly waiting for someone.
Colton thought the Labrador was too well-groomed to be a stray dog. The new owner of the house discovered a microchip on Cleo, by which he established the names of her owners. It matched the name of the previous tenants.
Colton logged into Facebook and saw that a former homeowner named Drew had been looking for a missing dog for a week.
And when Colton told him where Cleo was, her master was literally "speechless."
The motives behind Cleo's journey are unknown. Perhaps she was tormented by nostalgia for the places where she once felt good.
But regardless of why the dog went on the 92-kilometer hike, Cleo's owner was overjoyed at her return. “She's everything to us,” Drew said.
At the closed zoo in Hong Kong due to coronavirus, pandas have begun to mate for the first time in 10 years
Giant pandas have begun to mate in Hong Kong's Ocean Park Zoo, which was deserted due to lack of visitors during quarantine, according to the zoo's website.
Two giant pandas, male Le Le and female Ying Ying, have been living in Ocean Park for 14 years. For the past ten years ministers have tried to coerce them into intercourse, but to no avail. And only now, when there were no more visitors, the instinct of reproduction woke up in animals.
The zoo is closed from the end of January. In March, as the employees note, the behavior of the pandas changed - the male began to look for the smells of the female and mark the territory.
