When a pet once becomes useless to anyone, it loses its former appearance and, having seen it after several years of wandering on the street, you most likely will not even recognize it. So it happened with an 11-year-old Shih Tzu named Simon, who in time fell into the hands of volunteers from the non-profit animal rescue organization KC Pet Project, and was greatly transformed.
This is an 11-year-old dog named Simon, who was recently rescued by the KC Pet Project, a non-profit organization based in Kansas City.
When the volunteers first saw Simon, it was painful to look at him: the dog's coat was matted into dense "sausages" resembling dreadlocks
Apparently, this little guy hasn't felt the gentle touch of human hands for years and has forgotten what human help means.
The workers of the organization admitted that they had never faced such "confusing cases" and really wanted to help the poor fellow
Due to the tightly matted coat, Simon had a curvature of the paws, and he was completely covered with fleas.
KC Pet Project's veterinary team got the emergency help he needed
The staff worked for over two hours to shave all the matted hair off his tiny body
Due to the wool that fell into the dreadlocks, the little poor boy weighed 9 kg
And after the haircut, Simon began to weigh 6 kg. The poor dog wore 3 kg of "armor", which prevented him from living normally
"We never know what condition the animals will be in after shaving, and surprisingly, Simon's skin was in pretty good shape," said one of the organization's veterinarians.
"He's thin, covered in fleas and will need dental surgery soon, but at least he's safe for now."
With good care and love, Simon went through an amazing makeover
The tiny Shih Tzu also took his first bath in years.
And now he is ready to start the rehabilitation process in order to find a new permanent home, where they will love him and no one will betray him.
The girl raised a duckling from an egg, which she bought in a supermarket, and now he lives with her
What can be made from eggs bought at the supermarket? Of course, you can cook something tasty, or you can make yourself a new feathered friend. This is exactly what Adele Phillips from Port Talbot, UK did after she saw a guy from TikTok raise a duckling from an egg she bought at a supermarket. Inspired by his example, she went to the nearest supermarket, where she bought a box of duck eggs.
Adele Phillips decided to raise a duckling from a store egg after seeing a guy from TikTok do it.
To do this, Adele bought a box of eggs from the same brand that the blogger at TikTok used. Upon arriving home, she immediately placed the eggs in an incubator, which she had purchased in advance from an online store.
To her surprise, one of the six eggs was fertilized.
Since she had everything she needed, she proceeded to incubation
Thanks to the translucency, this photo shows how life is born in the egg.
On the 27th day, the duckling began to peck at the egg from the inside, and after 48 hours he was already free
After 30 long days of care and love, Adele finally has a newborn duckling
“I turned the egg 3-4 times a day, sprinkled it with water, kept it at room temperature, left it for several hours, and did the procedure again,” Adele said.
"I saw that the duckling came out of the egg when I returned from work."
Adele was surprised and very excited that the experiment was a success.
She named the duck Morris

Soon, the girl decided that Morris needed a friend, so she bought him a brother named Beryl at the pet store.
“I joined a Facebook group called Ducks and Chicks, where a lot of people told me that the duckling needs a friend or he will be sad and lonely. Since I’m at work all day, I decided to take him a friend at the pet store. Now we have another little duck named Beryl! Beryl is a different breed - Khaki Campbell, he is a little older, but they get along great and Morris is happy with his new friend! I keep them in a lamp box until they have feathers, and then I plan to buy a barn and put it in the backyard along with a pond and a fence so they can play safely, ”the girl said.
