Ten-year-old fox terrier Lot Hunter, colloquially Fedor, during his eight-year service in the police helped to solve dozens of serious crimes and put criminals behind bars. 

The story of an unusual store employee was told in February 2023 by the Klops portal. Not so long ago, the cat had to "quit" because of the requirements of the supervisory authorities. Hundreds of signatures have been collected in his support.

A flamingo chick got stuck in the snow near the Karazhanbas oil field. Public figure Azamat Sarsenbayev came to his aid, reports Zakon.kz .

The blogger told about this on his page on the social network.

- The flamingo chick has completely strayed from the flock. If he is released now, he will die, because without the help of the pack he will not be able to navigate where to fly. Weakened, he just lay in the snow. To save his life, I sheltered him at home.

A short time later, workers at the Aktau port found a second flamingo chick. And they handed it over to Azamat. Flamingos have settled in the bathroom.

- Fortunately, I have shrimp, sea bass, carp and crucian in the freezer. I put all these seafood in a blender, mixed it with water and fed it," Azamat continues. - Have you ever seen how flamingos feed? The chick got stronger overnight, happily eats chopped carrots and shrimps diluted with plain drinking water. The fact that he started eating is already a good sign, so he is not sick.

Azamat Sarsenbayev says that this year the flamingos in Kazakhstan were a little late in-flight time.

- I have never seen them stay with us until December, and in such huge numbers, - said the flamingo lover. - If we are lucky and the flock is still in Karakol, then I will release the chick to its brothers. Otherwise, I will have to take care of it before the onset of spring.

Initially, Sarsenbayev planned to transfer the chick to a local greenhouse complex, where there are conditions for wintering birds. But they refused to accept flamingos in the nursery, fearing fines due to the ban on keeping a red book animal. As a result, the flamingo chicks agreed to shelter in the Almaty Zoo.

The ingenuity of the Ministry of Emergency Situations employee Yevgeny Ivashin helped to save the life of not only the dog, but also prevented his colleagues from drowning. The story happened at the end of 2023, the press service of the main Department of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Orel region reports. On December 23, a dog fell through the ice on one of the coastal streets of Orel. It was warm that day and the ice on the Oka River became thin. One of the locals tried to reach the whining poor dog, but he failed and did not dare to go further into the icy water. Therefore, the hostess called the rescuers and the calculation came to the call together with our hero, Yevgeny Ivashin. 

- When we arrived, it became clear that the dog was already exhausted, it did not even whine. The sagebrush was located in the center of the river and it was very difficult to get there. At first we thought to do this with the help of a lifebuoy," says Yevgeny Ivashin, "but then it turned out that the locals have a children's cheesecake, it was best suited for these purposes. We asked, the guys lent us. 

Yevgeny Ivashin says that he was sure that the ice would fail anyway, the idea seemed too risky. The Oka River is fast and deep, the ice is thin and unpredictable.  

- In order not to be responsible for the consequences and possible harm to health for the personnel, I decided to do everything myself, - continues Yevgeny. - I tied myself with a rope, lay down on the tubing, which, by the way, is great for such purposes, and crawled. Strangely enough, the ice withstood the cheesecake, me and the dog. We got back safely. We handed the poor dog over to the owners, and they wrapped it in a blanket and took home alive. 

Yevgeny Ivashin himself does not see anything outstanding in this act, he says, is his most ordinary job really worth such special attention. 

The most common job is to save those who are in trouble.
