disease let's get it on [Music] Hobart the puppy we all know that dogs have been man's best friend for many centuries Oh at home you can play and have fun with these pets but in the law enforcement agencies these animals have a wide range of responsibilities usually police service dogs search for illegal substances and explosives missing people or evidence of a crime last year two police officers from Los Angeles Mercado and tavira were on a regular Patrol tour of the city when they suddenly noticed a tiny puppy on the street who stood completely alone in the middle of Hobart Boulevard and although law enforcement officers usually look formidable they felt very sorry for the puppy Mercado and two varam made an unexpected decision they picked the poor animal up put him in a patrol car and drove to the police station they also gave him a name in honor of the boulevard where he was found Hobart immediately sat in the front seat next to Mercado as if it was his usual habit well the Los Angeles Police Department posted these pictures and greeted a new fluffy member it seems he'll make a great cop Zorro the dog in the fall of 2018 a massive hurricane Florence brought massive devastation onto the u.s. southwestern states the state of Ohio was almost unscathed by this natural phenomenon however the people living there decided to help the neighbors for example the police chief of the village of Marblehead in Ohio officer joy decided to set an example for the locals by sheltering a small Chihuahua named missoura when his precinct during a period of natural disasters when the number of stray animals increases sharply this is especially important but a little puppy weighing about two kilograms was not just a pet of a policeman the officer built a special seat for Zorro when a patrol car and took him for rides the dog even had a special vest made by a local the puppy was then enlisted on a special training program where he will learn to help the elderly who live in nursing homes Winston the lizard at the end of last year Australia was hit by ravaging fires that spiraled out of control in January dozens of people died and damage of incredible proportions was done to flora and fauna it would seem where would the lizard story fit into this you'll see what you see is an Argentine black-and-white Tagus this is a species of lizard that lives in South America and grow to a huge size just imagine this reptile can weigh up to seven kilograms Winston however is a little slimmer it weighs a couple of hundred grams less before the lizard ended up with its current owner Sarah Curie from Lansing Michigan nobody cared much about the poor animal the previous owners clearly did not care for Winston and one day they threw him out onto the street in a cardboard box fortunately the staff of the local Zoo helped the poor animal and in 2015 he found a new owner when a wave of fires rages across Australia Sarah decided that she wanted to donate money to charity but did not know how to get it her designer mindset came to the rescue the girl thought what if I teach Winston how to paint Sarah consulted with a veterinarian chose the right paint and got down to business the pet learned quickly and in a couple of weeks the couple managed to raise $2,000 Picasso the pig it seems that the legendary Pablo Picasso has a serious competitor meet peg Casso a young pig who is now conquering the contemporary art market the paintings of the animal are worth thousands of dollars and some of them even become prints for iconic products like the swatch watch in 2016 Pig casa was rescued from a slaughterhouse and now he lives near South African Cape Town according to the owner Joanne left sin no one ever forced the pig to paint it happened quite naturally one day the girl gave the animals some stuff to play with and Picasso immediately chose artistic brushes and a couple of days later the pig already created its expressionist masterpieces on canvas Picasso signs eats creation with its piglet and in between work it enjoys a favorite snack caramel popcorn in 2018 Pig Castle became the first animal to have its own art gallery the paintings of this unusual artist cost from 500 to $4,000 all profit goes to the farm where the talented animal lives cats a pendleton we've long known that cats aren't just cute they also have a great positive effect on our mental and physical health some researchers even claim that the frequency of their purring helps to heal wounds faster and restore bone fractures so it's not surprising that some hospitals nursing homes and even prisons use these fluffy animals for therapy for example the prison in pendleton indiana began to take in stray cats back in 2015 at that time there was a special program of mental help for prisoners the goal was for the prisoners to take care of all the cats that lived on the prison territory the result was mutually beneficial animals were no longer left abandoned on the street and prisoners felt better in a company of fluffy friends pumpkin the cat this lovely cat called pumpkin was not all that different from all the other animals in the shelter in Tennessee but one day everything suddenly changed a wild goose was hit by a car and brought to the shelter the animal was in shock and the vets were just trying to calm it down when pumpkin appeared unexpectedly for everyone it jumped on the table and sat down close to the suffering bird to the surprise of everyone the goose immediately calmed down and fell asleep it turned out that this was not just a coincidence or a strange accident pumpkin showed excellent skills and caring for other animals once it even took care of a small rat even though usually rats do not get along with cats the shelter staff finally realized that pumpkin should be given a special job now it works there as a real nurse first of all the cat calms down the visiting animals that are scared of their surroundings and strain and no matter the size and looks pumpkin gets along with everyone Oliver the donkey you've probably heard of therapy dogs and therapy cats but could you ever imagine that even a donkey can help people cope with stress if you think that it's a pretty useless animal then one of the main Shrek characters would definitely look at you with disapproval this animal even has a name Oliver and this donkey helps people to fight anxiety a girl named Stephanie bought this donkey at a livestock market in Billings Montana a few years ago soon after Oliver had been moved into the new house the owner noticed that there is something unusual about him it turns out that the animal could somehow calm people down as if having a special kind of therapeutic power now the donkey travels around the state helping people in difficult situations for example he once became a major star during the exams at Montana State University the nervous students could pat and hug the kind animal to calm down a little before taking the exams Shelby the dog have you ever watched the touching movie a dogs way home it has a heartwarming plot but the real-life story of the dog who plays Bella is even more amazing some time before the shooting this dog Shelby was found in the trash on the territory of the state of Tennessee luckily was taken to a local shelter where he remained waiting for a new owner that's when the Hollywood production team came to the rescue they were looking for a star for their new movie and wanted it to be a straight dog and his breed was supposed to be a pitbull mix just like in the book the movie was based on all this led the producers to the very shelter where poor Shelby lived and the moment they looked into his eyes it became clear this was the perfect candidate for the role however Shelby wasn't unemployed for long after the film was shot it turns out that the animal also had exceptional therapeutic skills after some training the dog was taken to hospitals and other institutions to help children the elderly and the seriously ill gabble the dog dogs are truly an integral part of the police force but alas not every dog can become a police officer to work in law enforcement animals have to be trained for a long time and the are pre-selected according to many criteria this German Shepherd gavel began training for police work when he was still a puppy but unfortunately the dog never managed to become the new inspector Rex it was kicked out of the police dog academy for being too nice the owner of the dog however is the governor of the Australian state of Queensland Paul de Jersey and he of course was not going to leave his friend behind or without a prestigious title so little gavel was assigned to another specifically created position of the vice-regal dog his duties include meeting guests at the governor's residence and participating in the ceremonies gavel even has a special dress uniform for this he's police dogs are of course cool but the police and the Chinese jean-jean have found an interesting alternative a few years ago local law enforcement agencies reported that they were employing ordinary geese naturally this immediately resulted in a flurry of ridicule around the world but the idea is actually not as weird as it might seem at first glance the thing is these domestic birds are extremely attentive and have very good hearing they're all so brave and ready to attack anyone who breaks into a house and by the way the Chinese were not the first to use geese for police and military purposes for example the US Army used hundreds of birds to guard its facilities in West Germany during the Cold War and some historians even believe that it was the geese that helped the Romans deal with the Gaelic invasions [Music]
