Just Russell, because it was World Animal Day, of course, last Sunday.

Our next story is from a publication called Romania Insider.

AdrianaHOST
The s- uh, submitter said that October 10th is World Mental Health Day, and October 4th is World Animal Day.
AdrianaHOST
So this story kinda lands perfectly in the middle of those two special days, and it's, fits both of those in terms of the, of the topic, so.
AdrianaHOST
Ravens All Pro Ronnie Stanley's foundation recently matched US Army veteran Megan, who lives with PTSD and anxiety, with Snuffy, a four-year-old rescue dog.

It was super cool to be able to share that.

Big BrainHOST
World Animal Day was observed on October 4th.
Big BrainHOST
It is a day when people are encouraged to notice animals' needs, habitats, and the many ways humans share the planet with other living things.
Big BrainHOST
One helpful way to think about animals is to ask, what would this place feel like from their point of view? A bird might care about safe branches, seeds, insects, and quiet nesting places.
Big BrainHOST
You might watch wildlife from a distance, keep trash out of parks, plant pollinator-friendly flowers with an adult, or learn which animals live near your home.
Big BrainHOST
Even noticing is a beginning.
Big BrainHOST
World Animal Day reminds us that Earth is not only a human home.
Big BrainHOST
It is a shared home, full of paws, wings, fins, shells, antennae, and quiet little lives we may not always see.
