Best Man’s Friends
Dogs are known to be best man’s friends. That’s true many of us know how helpful and friendly a dog can be, what a big delight when the dog meets at doorstep when you come home from work etc.
But how would you call dogs that were rejected by their owners and sent to a place like this - Russian dog’s shelter for staying alone and medical experiments?

Russian Girl and Her Dog
Russian girls are always the topic of high interest here, and well we can understand this, but what you might see here today is for sure the sickest thing in which you’ve seen the Russian girls involved.
I wish we didn’t show it to you, but it became so huge in Russia that we just couldn’t keep it out. These photos have appeared on the pages of this girl just “for fun” and soon became all over, people passed the link to show the weirdness to their friends.
This just proves once again that PETA is something that never heard of in Russia, I warn you, better not to enter if you can’t stand blood and feel pity for dogs, if you have no guts for this don’t press more.
The Wild Russian Pet
In Russia sometimes they dare to have wild animals like pets.
There are no any law regulations on what pets you can keep and what you can’t, no PETA, no need to pick up your little friend’s poo in special bags. You can walk with your pet anywhere on the street or public park, no any single “no pets allowed” signs outside. Some call it chaos others call it freedom, you decide yourself.
Meanwhile some photos of such wild pet living with people in just a small regular flat in big multistored building.
Deer Horns Farm
And now again Russian far East. In that region of Russia the demand for deers horn is high due to a big belief of Chinese and other Eastern traditional medicines on the great powers one can get eating the drugs prepared with some amount of deer horn added. Naturally deers have to drop the horn rack by themselves thru some periods of times, or seasonly, but farm owners are not intended to wait for this so they use old good saws to get some horn. The way to do it looks very cruel, and if you love animals you probably better not enter, but as people tell the animals don’t suffer much because there are no nerves inside the horn - only in outer skin, so they say it’s not more than a deep scratch feeling.
Live Maggots, Spectacular UFO and more
Today’s edition of short stories being popular in Russia lately. Some of them too small for a separate post but fits well in one big.
The first photo here is about some grand-dad and a bear, though some say he is gipsie, not Russian, anyway let’s go inside to see what’s more.
No Spiders Allowed
Probably they have a sign “No Spiders Allowed” so he had to leave his pet tied to the door…
Smartest Dogs: Moscow Stray Dogs
Russian scientists say that Moscow stray dogs became much smarter. The four legged oldest human’s friends demonstrate real smartness such as riding the Moscow metro every morning to get from their suburban places of living to the fat regions of Moscow center. Once they arrive to the downtown they demonstrate different new, previously unseen for the dog skills. Those skills can include “the hunt for shawarma” for example, the popular among Muscovites eastern cuisine dish. This hunt scene can be seen as this:
Regular Moscow busy street with some small food kiosks. A middle-aged man buys himself a piece of hot fast food and walks aside chewing it without a rush. Then just in a second he jumps up frightened - some doggy has sneaked up on him and barked out loudly. His tasty snack falls out from his hands down to the ground and the dog gets it. Just ten minutes later, on the same place, the teen youngster loses his dinner in exactly the same manner. The modern Russian dogs are on their urban hunt.
“This method of ambushing people from their back is widely exercised by Moscow dogs”, saying A. Poiarkov, working in Ecology and Evolution Institute of Moscow. “The main point here is to define who would drop the food scared and who won’t, but the dogs are great psychologists they can do it better than us”.
Moscow ecologists think that dogs started acquiring this habits in 1990s, when the Soviet union collapsed and Moscow has fell into the hands of new class of Russian capitalists. They understood the true value of the downtown realty underestimated by previous Communist owners and became removing all the industrial complexes Moscow had in its centre to its outskirts. Those places were used by homeless dogs as a shelter often, so the dogs had to move together with their houses, so they had to learn how to travel Moscow subway - first to get to the centre in the morning then back home in the evening, just as us people.
“Sometimes dogs are doing mistakes adapting in metro, but they are studying.”
The commercial revolution of Moscow made their usual feeding places like trash bins out of direct reach, so they had to get to know new ways of getting their piece of food. That’s how appeared those “Shawarma hunts”. Sometimes though they use more gentle methods. Young girl sits on the bench to eat her hot dog - a big cute looking dog appears from the surrounding bushes and puts her head on her knees. The girl can’t help herself sharing the hotdog with a dog.
Among some more amazing skill those Moscow dogs are the ability not to miss their stop while going on the subway train. Biologists say dogs have very nice sense of time which helps them not to miss their destination. Another skill they have is to cross the road on the green traffic light. “They don’t react on color, but on the picture they see on the traffic light”, Moscow scientist tells. Also they choose often the last or the first metro car - those are less crowded usually.
It’s funny but the ecologists studying Moscow stray dogs also tell the dogs don’t miss a chance to get some play while on their travel in the subway. They are fond of jumping in the train just seconds before the doors shut closed risking their tails be jammed. “They do it for fun, just they have enough food”, they conclude.
