Loyal Bullmastiff dodges bears and wolves after walking 125 miles through Siberian forests | Daily Mail Online

A wounded and weeping dog walked 125 miles through Russian forests brimming with brown bears and wolves desperately seeking the owner who rejected her.

Maru, a one-year-old Bullmastiff, was given up by an owner who claimed she was allergic to the dog.

The puppy was then sent on the Trans-Siberian train back to the kennels where she was born.

But loyal Maru escaped when the train heading west to Novosibirsk stopped at a remote station near Achinsk, using her paws to open a compartment door and flee back towards the owner who gave her up.

Train staff who were looking after the spurned pet shouted her name on the platform but to no avail.

Kennel owner Alla Morozova in Novosibirsk city organised a search for the lost Bullmastiff and pleaded on social media for information.

Amazingly, two-and-a-half days later, the exhausted and wounded dog was found at an industrial estate close to the home of the owner who had rejected her.

But loyal Maru escaped when the train heading west to Novosibirsk stopped at a remote station near Achinsk, using her paws to open a compartment door and flee back towards the owner who gave her up. When she was found her paws were badly injured

When Maru was found by rescuers they said she appeared to have tears in her eyes

The rejected dog appeared to have tears in her eyes.

Maru had carefully followed Trans-Siberian railway track – the longest in the world – eastwards and had covered 125 miles through wild countryside since fleeing the train.

‘Luckily neither bears ate her, nor wolves chewed her up,’ Ms Morozova told The Siberian Times. 

‘She was very tired. She was lame, her paws were broken.

‘The pads on her feet were damaged. Her muzzle was broken.’

The exhausted pet fell down a railway embankment in Krasnoyarsk before she was recognised and rescued.

Train staff told Ms Morozova that on the journey the dog had suffered a panic attack and was frightened being away from her home and owner.

‘The noise of the train scared her.’

When the train stopped she ‘jumped on the compartment door, kicked the handle to open it, and almost threw the conductor out of the way.

‘She jumped out like a bullet.

‘When the door opened to the platform, she jumped out into the night, into the taiga (swampy Siberian forest).’

Ms Morozova is convinced the dog would have reached her old home several miles away but for her injuries, and is in awe of her navigation skills.

‘I’m sure that she was looking for her house,’ she said.

‘Dogs are very attached to people.

‘She did not run to Novosibirsk, she wanted to go back where she lived.’

Maru has now been reunited with her mother and father, who still live at the Novosibirsk kennels

She ‘went the right way’ even though ‘geographically she had no reference points’.

Ms Morozova was ‘angry’ the owner who rejected the dog did not join the search for the lost pet.

Maru was later driven to Novosibirsk by Alyona Makhova and is now undergoing treatment for her injuries.

The animal has been reunited with her mother and father, who still live at the Novosibirsk kennels.

No decision has been made on her future yet.

How to train your brain to have lucid dreams – Neuroscience News

Summary: A sleep researcher shares the secrets for training your brain to experience lucid dreams. Source: The Conversation Dreams can often be confusing and blurry experiences . Reduced critical thinking, little to no access to our true memories and heightened impulsivity and emotions during normal dream states often make for head-scratching moments when our eyes first open in the morning. But dreams don’t always play out this way. More than half of us have at least once in their lifetime experienced awareness of dreaming in the moment and, in some cases, the ability to direct a dream like a sleepy Steven Spielberg. Nearly a quarter of us report lucid dreaming once a month or more. Two key changes in the brain appear responsible for these states. The frontotemporal cortex, which controls our higher cognitive abilities and is inhibited during normal dreams, shows higher activation during lucid dreams. Researchers also observe an increase in gamma waves , synchronised firing by

A veteran in hospice care is reunited with his dog one last time | MNN – Mother Nature Network

After being admitted into hospice care, veteran John Vincent had just one special request: He wanted to spend a little time with his beloved dog. Vincent, a 69-year-old Marine who fought in Vietnam, was placed into the Hospice Center at the Raymond G. Murphy Veterans Affairs Medical Center in New Mexico. Because he had no family in the area to care for his pet, he had to give up his 6-year-old Yorkshire terrier mix named Patch to the Albuquerque Animal Welfare, the organization posted on Facebook . Knowing he likely didn’t have much time left, Vincent told Amy Neal, his palliative care social worker, that he wanted to say goodbye to Patch and see him one last time. Neal reached out to the city’s animal welfare department. “It was an immediate ‘yes’ from us,” Adam Ricci, Albuquerque Animal Welfare chief of field operations, told CNN . “So, we worked with the VA to get things organized.” Patch spent the day on Vincent’s bed.

As one of the cheapest and most satiating fruits, bananas are up there with the most popular snacks you can buy.  And while their health benefits are widely known, few are aware of how the ripeness of a banana impacts on its nutritional make-up. So to help make it clear, Australian sports dietitian Ryan Pinto recently shared a graphic about the various benefits – and why eating an over-ripe banana may not be a great idea.  ‘The best way to understand how the health of a banana can change is by investigating what really happens to them internally over time,’ he wrote on his page, High Performance Nutrition AU .  Australian sports dietitian Ryan Pinto recently shared a graphic about the various benefits of bananas at different stages – and why eating an over-ripe banana may not be a great idea Green bananas  According to Ryan, green bananas are ‘youthful, low FODMAP and full of starch’. ‘Referred to as “resistant” starch, this nutrient makes your digestive system work a little ha
