Lucky pup.
Whenever I see a story like this, or like the feral dog rescue/rehab that Mark posted, I wonder what the rescue percentages are?
Over the years I have taken in and found homes for alley cats and kittens, and a feral pup. (Poor little guy had to be treated for mange; he’d lost patches of fur, especially on his belly. Don’t know if he was lost, abandoned, or orphaned, but on the coldest day of the winter he had gone to a fairly busy area in an otherwise quiet area and curled up into a shivering ball… only to be ignored. The poor thing was too young to be alone, I guess he didn’t know what else to do except go towards the people and hope for help. (He recovered into a cheerful, friendly, energetic pup, and landed in a good home.))
I wonder how many of these poor animals are never found, or are ignored by people who have “better” things to do?
My thoughts always come back to: Theists, this is the work of your kind, loving God. What kind of a cruel, heartless sonufabitch must He be to do this to his children? Make up someone better to worship.
I can be very cynical about human behavior and humanity’s prospects for the future, but stories like this keep hope alive. Hearted.

Not in the past 12,000 years or so, no. The Farne Islands aren’t exactly arctic.
