Meet Endal. Endal was a helper dog (who passed away a couple of years ago) to his master Allen Parton, a former Royal Navy officer who was disabled in a car crash in 1991 during the Gulf War.



Endal helped with laundry and shopping and even helping his human buy his evening pint at the local pub.



They met when Endal was just a puppy.

His human was very depressed about being disabled and just happened to join his wife at work one day. The wife worked in a dog training centre.

The minute his human arrived, Endal knew that taking care of his master was his life's purpose. He jumped on his human's lap and for 12 years he never left his side.

The story of Endal is from the UK Daily Mail.

The inspiration for today's post is from my reading of A Dog's Purpose by W. Bruce Cameron.

I have always found the Bald Eagle to be one of the most regal of all creatures.



Last month, two bald eagles were battling it out in the air and their talons became so entangled that they could not disengage. Unable to get away from each other they fell to the earth, crash landing on an airport strip at the Duluth International Airport.



A wildlife professional came to collect the eagles, which were remarkably calm as they were picked up and moved. He didn’t have a container large enough to hold the two eagles, so he put them in the back of his truck, covering them and tying them down.

As he was driving toward the wildlife center, he heard the eagles having another tussle in the back of the truck and when he turned to see what was going on, one of the eagles jumped on his tailgate and flew off. The remaining eagle was examined and treated and both eagles were expected to live.

For more details, see the article on GrindTV.

Quote:
As for how the photos come together, he explains his process: “I shoot what I call the background — the scene, without props, first. Often it’s a collage of multiple pictures. Then I try to match the lighting of that picture and take pictures of people in the right position to be in the pictures, then I shrink them in Photoshop and change the colors so they match the background a little bit better, then I do overall color editing to make them match. It takes a long time.”
