Shelter Dog Looks At Woman With 'So Much Trust', Unaware What Visit Means
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A rescue dog reacted with delight to a visit from a shelter worker, unaware that she came bearing bad news. Aileen Betancourt, an adoption specialist at Laurie P. Andrews Adoption Center in Edinburg, Texas, shared footage showing how Bailie greeted her with "so much trust" as she posted a sign on his kennel informing visitors that her time was running out. By that point, Bailie had already spent a considerable amount of time at the shelter. Betancourt told Newsweek: "Bailie was picked up as a stray by animal control on April 12, 2023, and she spent every day since then at the shelter over 750 days." In truth, from day one the odds were stacked against Bailie being adopted. "She came in as an adult Pit bull mix, which unfortunately tends to work against dogs in the shelter system," Betancourt said. "Despite being fully vaccinated, spayed, and incredibly sweet, Bailie was continuously overlooked." Aileen Betancourt visited Bailie with heartbreaking news. Aileen Betancourt visited Bailie with heartbreaking news. TikTok/lifesavingpixie Sadly, the words "pit bull" are often enough to put people off giving these dogs a chance. In 2021, a study published in the journal Animals saw researchers attempt to identify the most common traits seen among long-term shelter dogs. Being a so-called "dangerous breed" like a pit bull, was chief among them. Betancourt is well aware of the "stigma" surrounding the breed. "Many potential adopters are hesitant because of misconceptions about temperament or because of housing restrictions," she said. Betancourt suspects Bailie's age is also likely to have hindered her chances of being adopted. "People often gravitate toward puppies, small breeds, or even cats leaving adult dogs like Bailie behind," she said. The shelter offers field trips with dogs and even "Pajwama Parties," where their canine residents can spend a day or weekend outside the shelter. None of it was working though.

The lack of progress was a source of personal frustration to Betancourt who, having got to know Bailie, knew she was a more than viable candidate for adoption. "She needed someone who could look past her breed label and simply see her as a dog," Betancourt said. "A dog who wanted nothing more than to love and be loved. She didn't require anything fancy, just a family willing to break the stigma and offer her the safety, patience, and kindness she had been waiting for." But after over two years in the kennel, it looked like Bailie would become just another statistic. In 2024 alone, the ASPCA estimates 334,000 dogs were euthanized in the U.S. Betancourt posted the video of her heartbreaking visit to Bailie's kennel to her TikTok @lifesavingpixie to raise awareness of the stark reality many shelter dogs face. But then something magical happened. The video went viral, racking up 2.4 million views and sparking a flurry of responses from viewers eager to come to Bailie's rescue. The end result was everything Betancourt and everyone at the Laurie P. Andrews Adoption Center was hoping for. "Bailie got adopted," Betancourt said. "Someone drove down 8 hours to adopt her." Now Bailie has the life that, until recently, few would have thought possible. It's testament to the power of social media and the fighting spirit of a dog who seemingly never lost trust in those caring for her.

‘Shadow caught on camera' ends creature's 500-year-long absence from Portugal
As night settled across Portugal, a small furry creature swam along a river, dragging around branches and leaves. Unbeknownst to it, its appearance was captured by nearby trail cameras — and ended a 500-year-long absence. 'Five centuries gone, and then: gnawed trunks, reshaped water, a shadow caught on camera! The beaver is back in Portugal,' the conservation group Rewilding Europe said in a June 13 Facebook post. 'The last known record of beavers in Portugal probably dates back to the end of the 15th century,' Rewilding Portugal said in a June 12 news release. 'Intensive hunting and habitat destruction' wiped out the country's beavers, and the animal had been considered locally extinct ever since. But conservationists didn't give up. For the past 20 years, conservationists in Spain worked to rehabilitate their European beaver populations and eventually noticed beavers living closer and closer to the border with Portugal, the organization said. By 2023, a beaver was seen about 500 feet from the Portuguese border and was expected to eventually cross the border. Conservationists in Portugal recently saw 'unequivocal signs' of beavers, such as 'gnawing marks' on trees and structures that changed the water flow. In late May, trail cameras filmed a young beaver within the country. 'We've been on the lookout for this breakthrough for a few years now, and now we're thrilled to confirm its return,' Pedro Prata, a conservationist with Rewilding Portugal, said in the release. Video footage from May 20 to 25 shows a beaver swimming at night and moving sticks around. Other photos shared by Rewilding Portugal in a June 13 Facebook post show the beaver sitting, holding something and climbing along the river bank. Conservationists described the beaver sighting as 'one of the most significant steps in the aquatic rewilding of our rivers in Portugal.' 'The beaver is a natural ally in restoring the health of our rivers and wetlands and has a fundamental role to play in our river ecosystems,' Prata said in the release. 'The beaver improves water quality, creates refuges for other species and helps us fight phenomena such as drought and fires.' 'The return of the beaver to Portugal is a symbol of hope and change,' Prata said. 'It shows that if we give nature space and time, it will respond. It's now up to us to ensure that this return is well received and protected.' Rewilding Portugal said it plans to continue monitoring the beaver and help mitigate any human-animal conflicts that may arise. Conservationists did not say where in Portugal the beaver was but said they'd previously monitored beavers in Arribes del Duero Natural Park, Spain. The park is near Freixo de Espada à Cinta in northern Portugal and a roughly 275-mile drive northeast from Lisbon. Google Translate was used to translate the Facebook post from Rewilding Portugal.
