‘After 12 years of loyalty,' bonded dogs left at shelter. ‘They don't understand'
A pair of close-knit, senior dogs are in need of a new home after being surrendered to an Indiana shelter by their longtime family.
'After 12 years of loyalty… they ended up here,' the Humane Society for Hamilton County in Fishers said in a June 6 Facebook post.
'Meet Woody and Bear. Two bonded senior Pug mixes surrendered after a lifetime with one family, because of a lack of commitment from their owner.'
The pups are so close that the shelter is hoping one new family will adopt them so they can stay together as they've been for over a decade.
'They're 12 years old. They've grown up with kids. They've had good experiences with other dogs. Bring yours for a meet and greet,' the shelter said. 'They haven't had any experience with cats, but we can do a cat test if you need one. As you can see in the photos they have a strong bond.'
Their pet profiles say that both pugs are house trained and have been neutered.
'They don't understand why their world changed,' the shelter continued. 'Why their soft beds disappeared. Why, after 12 years of being good boys… they're starting over?
'These sweet boys still have so much love to give. More than anything, they just want to stay together in a home where they can rest their heads side by side, just like they always have.'

Fishers is about a 20-mile drive northeast from downtown Indianapolis.

Folsom Zoo Sanctuary asks for public's help in naming its new bear
The Folsom Zoo Sanctuary has taken in a new bear, and the public can now help choose its name. Back in March, the Folsom Zoo welcomed a bear named Herbie after the closure of a different Northern California wildlife facility. Herbie was living with a female bear at the other facility, but for some reason the other handlers wanted the pair to go their separate ways. Circumstances changed, however, and the female bear has since joined Herbie at the Folsom Zoo. Don't miss your chance to help name the zoo sanctuary's newest resident! The new Eurasian Brown Bear is enjoying her... Posted by Friends of the Folsom Zoo Inc on Tuesday, June 3, 2025 Now, the zoo is asking for the public's help in choosing the female bear's name. For a minimum donation of $5, people can vote for either Matilda, Petunia or Magnolia as the bear's name. The Folsom Zoo Sanctuary is home to dozens of animals. The zoo's summer hours run Thursday through Sunday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Maddow: Ukraine's drone attack just exposed a huge vulnerability in the world's nuclear arsenal
This is an adapted excerpt from the June 2 episode of 'The Rachel Maddow Show.' They nicknamed it the 'Bear.' It's a military aircraft first designed in Russia in the 1950s and built to compete with the American B-52 bomber. The Tupolev Tu-95 can fly across continents before it has to stop and refuel, and it can carry eight long-range missiles. For decades, Russia has had dozens of Tu-95 bombers and other planes like it. On Sunday, Ukrainian drones struck several Russian air bases, destroying a fleet of planes, including several Tu-95 bombers. Russia has been hammering Ukraine with these bombers for years, and this weekend, Kyiv decided that rather than just trying to intercept the missiles that these planes keep firing from the sky, it would instead try to take out the planes. According to NBC News, Ukraine's Security Service smuggled more than a hundred drones into Russia. They hid them under the roofs of mobile wooden cabins in a process that took months. Then all at once, simultaneously, with no warning, the cabin roofs were opened via remote control, and then the drones flew off to do their thing, packed with explosives. Ukraine says they destroyed planes across four different military sites in Russia, including in Siberia at a site almost 3,000 miles away from Ukraine. Of Russia's entire fleet of military bombers, Ukraine says they were able to destroy or severely damage about a third of them. Now, was Russia aware that this was going to happen? Clearly no. Did they have defenses in place to protect their planes? Well, that's a funny story. In a video of Sunday's drone attack, put out by Ukraine's Security Service, you can see round objects on the wings of Russia's bomber planes. Those circles are actually tires — like the tires you put on your car. Apparently, this is a thing Russia has been doing for a while now. One NATO military official told CNN in 2023, 'We believe it's meant to protect against drones. ... We don't know if this will have any effect.' Well, now we know. As Sunday's strike shows, tires do not prevent drones from destroying your attack planes. This whole thing is just astonishing, not just in a foreign policy way, but also in an action movie kind of way. It also has really serious implications beyond Russia and Ukraine. Those bomber planes Ukraine just torched are not only equipped to carry regular missiles, they also can carry nuclear warheads. If you are Russia, the United States or any country with nuclear weapons, your national security policies are based around the fact that you have an impenetrable nuclear deterrent. Why would anyone attack you if you could then retaliate by blowing them off the map with your nuclear stockpile? But Ukraine just disabled a primary piece of Russia's nuclear arsenal with devices that look like they came from RadioShack, which means it has to contend with the fact that its impenetrable nuclear arsenal is not so impenetrable after all. Sunday's strike also has really important strategic consequences for every country that thinks of itself as having a nuclear deterrent. For our country, wouldn't this be a good time to have a robust, competent national security apparatus thinking about those kinds of implications and making smart, well-informed strategic decisions on how to react to them?
