People started calling him Buddy, because, well, he was everyone’s buddy. He never begged, never caused trouble—just sat patiently near doorsteps, like he was quietly protecting the town.
Then came the storm.
It was the worst one anyone had seen in years—howling winds, rain pouring down in sheets. And in the middle of the chaos, something strange happened.
Buddy ran. Fast. House to house, door to door, barking like his life depended on it. When Mrs. Jensen—who lived alone—didn’t answer her door, he barked louder, scratching at the wood until a neighbor finally checked on her. The storm had knocked out her power, and she had fallen, unable to get up.
People started following Buddy, watching where he ran. He stopped at the grocery store, where a worker had been trapped in the back without their phone. Then the coffee shop, where a forgotten window had been left open, water pouring inside.
Buddy found every problem before anyone else did.
By the time the storm cleared, word had spread—Buddy wasn’t just a stray. He was their protector, their guardian, their town’s very own hero.
The mayor declared, "Buddy has saved more people than I ever have."
And from that day on, Buddy was no longer a stray. The whole town took care of him, giving him a warm bed in the bakery, treats from the bookstore, and endless love from everyone.
Because sometimes, the ones we think need saving? They’re the ones saving us all along.
I miss mine terribly.
And we're taking your ice cream!

I feel bad because I just bought and installed poison dispensers everywhere, but what can I do to solve this in other ways so I can later remove the poisons?
I thought about removing all the brush within 300ft of the house but it will cost a ton of money renting equipment to mulch it
At first I thought it was a shark, but I didn't notice a large dorsal fin. Another swimmer said it was a dolphin but it was too dark for that.
Is there such a thing as a massive catfish that likes warm Floridian water?

About 2 weeks ago they had a brand new dog. It was a small breed. This is the first time I’ve ever seen them with an animal. It was loudly barking and running around their yard. Later that day the only other thing I saw was the neighbor commanding the dog to potty in the yard.
That day was the first and last day I ever heard or saw that dog. Just one single day. Since then I have not heard a single bark. I haven’t seen them walk or take out that dog. Nothing. Only yesterday I saw that they had thrown a pet carrier in the trash.
I’m not going to just call the cops or animal people unless I’m positive because that could cause a whole can of worms.
What do you guys think? What do you think I should do? What would you do? Do you have similar experiences?
>inb4 muh far right conspiracy theory
Not every culture is the same. Dog and cat eating is a practice in many cultures around the world. Sheltered Westerners are retarded because they just assume everyone thinks the same. This is like Europe being plagued by islamists. What do you think happens when you import an alien culture into your own
You import the third world into your country and are shocked when they bring the third world into your backyard
>inb4 muh racism
Did I say black people eat cats and dogs? No I said these third world immigrants. You know not every single person with dark skin is related right
Western blacks would not eat cats and dogs because they are apart of Western culture. But someone from a third world culture that practices it certainly would
>inb4 it’s dey culture
This is not whatever third world hole they crawled out of. This is the West. In the West people love dogs. Stop trying to make Western culture cuck itself

WHAT IS SPECULATIVE EVOLUTION?
Speculative evolution is the exploration and imagining of how life might evolve in the future or could have evolved in alternate pasts. It's a multimedia sci-fi genre that harnesses scientific principles to create detailed and plausible hypothetical creatures, ecosystems, and evolutionary histories.

What's stopping you?
Who is Jefrey (with one F)?
He was found abandoned in some bushes filthy and covered in fleas late one night in mid-July 2024. He’s almost all grown up, and enjoys car rides, climbing trees, going to new places, and most of all, his capybara. Some believe him to be a goblin or gremlin. He was named after the Pixies song “Space (I Believe In)”.
Jefrey suffers from severe ear-ectile dysfunction.
Originally posted him here back in July 2024 seeking advice for potential health problems due to his folded ears, some /an/ons wanted more of him, and so now you’re stuck with him.
any takes on this?
Or turbo aggressive evil cats like pitbulls?
Nothing bad will happen to your mother if you do not deer ITT.

Let's lay back and see what happens!
“No need to walk it, no mess, it’s worry-free and easy to look after!” one person wrote on a community board dedicated to pet yeast owners. “If you don’t want to keep it anymore, just add more flour and turn it into steamed buns to eat; there is no psychological burden,” another yeast ‘parent’ commented. Zhao Meng, director of the Department of Psychology at Wuhan Wudong Hospital, believes that young people’s enthusiasm for static exotic pets stems from the accumulation of academic, work, and economic pressures.

What's there not to like!
17 years of cleaning up shit, walking her everyday, im tired.... is it bad for me to feel like i cant wait until im pet free? I miss just being able to do my own thing and not have to worry about a dog
Pitbulls were bred for bloodsports.
Huskies were bred to run.
Hounds & Terriers were bred to hunt down & kill game.
And therefore any individual dog that belongs to that breed will have predispositions that align with that. Pitbulls will hold on & not let go. Huskies will be neurotic if they don't let off enough steam. Hounds will bray. Terriers will try to kill anything smaller than them.
What's with the denial? It's particularly heinous and dangerous with pitbull owners, but it happens with all breeds too.
Why does this happen?
The elderly and disabled will be exterminated since they are no longer useful to society.
Newbies and amateurs are very welcome, and we’ll always try to answer your questions.
