Dutch public broadcaster pays to clone pet dog for new show

A Dutch public broadcaster is claiming it had a pet dog cloned in South Korea for a new show. It is illegal to clone animals in the Netherlands, but not to import a cloned pet from abroad. 

The dog which was cloned was a 12-year-old bulldog called Joep, which lived in Rotterdam. Joep has since died, but the owner is extremely happy with the clone, named Pipo, according to the Telegraaf.

‘It is not just his appearance, which is almost identical,’ the owners told the paper. ‘We are surprised on a daily basis how much his behaviour and character matches with our old dog. It is unbelievable.’ 

Joep’s owners had responded to an appeal by BNN which was looking for people who wanted to have their pet cloned and were willing to send a tissue sample to the company, named by the Telegraaf as Sooam Biotech. 

Sooam is said to be the leading laboratory in the world for dog cloning and has produced more than 700 dogs for commercial customers. 

The Telegraaf says it cost the broadcaster €50,000 to have the dog cloned. 

Opposition MPs have criticized the idea of cloning animals to order and animal welfare groups point out that hundreds of dogs in animal shelters could do with a new owner. 

The programme, Klonen: Wens of Waanzin?, is part of a series about cloning around the world and will be broadcast on Friday.

“The Akashic System” – Sep 11, 2010 (Kryon Channelling by Lee Carroll) - (Text version)

“… Animals

I speak of the precious animals all the time and how they're here to service humanity and how they do it so completely. I've spoken about how some of them are here to be eaten. Many don't like to hear this, but understand that collectively the animals understand this. They have to be part of the Human food chain, since humanity doesn't have the ability to grow things fast enough and distribute that food. So that's a service, you see? For those of you who are vegan, you might say, "I never eat them!" That is a choice for your health. It's appropriate and accurate, but doesn't hold true for the survival of the Human race, for animals are needed for Human nourishment and survival at the moment.

So let's divert for a moment and give you some valuable information about Human consumption of animal life. Many Humans need to eat them, but never understanding that the animal knew this when it came in. Is this too spooky for you? This is known by those who know of animal spirits and can see the sacrifice and appropriateness of this. It was also very well known by the ancients. But here is the question, dear Human: How do you treat them? With that kind of purpose on the planet, how do you treat them before they become your food? How did the ancients treat them? Now that's a hard question, isn't it? Let me give you an attribute of truth. Did you know the better they're treated, the more nutritious they'll be within your body? "Kryon, please don't talk about that. We don't want to think about it." Dear one, if not me, then who? Listen, if these animals are willing to come and be so grand a part of the life-force of this planet and help it to vibrate higher by keeping you alive so you can make choices, don't they deserve respect and comfort while they are growing up? The end result will be a far better contribution to your health. Let the scientists lead the way and do some comparison studies to show that the nutritional values increase dramatically when an animal is honored during its short lifetime. The ancients knew this and honored each animal before it became part of their life-force.

There is no Cave of Creation for the animals. They are here in support of humanity. Some of them are here to love you and you know that. We speak of the ones in your home. They're here to love you - another great service to Humans. You look in their eyes and they look back. They see the old soul within you, did you know that? They know the system. But they don't live very long, do they? Sometimes there is heartbreak when they leave. But the good news? Yes, they can reincarnate! They have choice with you to continue the love affair! I don't know how many dear ones in the room are aware of that system and I want my partner to develop this more clearly so those animal lovers will know this. When their dear loved animals die, they can continue the love affair if they want to by looking in the right place and finding the returning soul, picking it up and continuing what they had. There's somebody in the room and reading that needed to hear that. There is a system for their core souls to return!

So in a way, many animals have souls, too, but they're not in the Cave of Creation. They don't have the profound system of planetary change that you do, which is a consciousness that can increase itself by free choice. The Human is the only being on Earth who can do this, because the Human has divinity in the DNA. It was implanted there, appropriately and with love, approximately 100,000 years ago by that which is from another star system.

We have given you all this before. In all appropriateness, the Humans on this planet received their spiritual seeds from the Pleiadians in a beautiful way, in an appropriate way, in a divine way, in a perfect way. There were no wars, no conspiracies, and these beautiful star souls are still here. They're your brothers and your sisters and a piece of them is in you. You're in a quantum state with them. I can't explain that anymore either. But some of you can feel it. Some of you can see it. It's beautiful, and it's not inappropriate, odd or scary. Instead, it is the real creation story on the planet and can be found in the indigenous writings all over the planet. Look for references to the seven sisters and the stories about creation.

In your DNA surges all that you ever were, old soul, and we have told you in many channellings how you can access this. This access is not just as spiritual information, but as the ability to access some of the Human attributes that you had in the past. The essence of the energy of who you used to be is in your DNA. Therefore, this Akashic information has the ability to communicate to the blueprint of your stem cells. Remember, it's all within the same double-helix structure that contains the protein-encoded section, your genes! Are you understanding this? Your DNA is, therefore, a far larger system than any medical authority has ever believed it to be. It is an interdimensional system that has the ability to modify itself at any time. It explains spontaneous remission. Spontaneous remission is the Human Being who decides they're done with the disease, and who then picks up the energy from a past life that never had the disease. Many Humans have rid themselves of the most virulent diseases known to man. They suddenly come up clean with no trace of it - spontaneous remission. The dreaded disease simply goes away. I'll tell you, dear one, that is not a miracle from above. That's a miracle from within.  …”

Dog Owners Mirror Their Pet's Heart Rate, Helping To Reduce Stress

HuffPost Australia, Julia Naughton,  01/05/2016

For years we’ve heard about the health benefits of dog ownership: reduced heart rate, stronger immunity and higher self-esteem.

But new research suggests not only does our heart rate become lower when in the company of our furry friend -- but so too does the dog’s -- to the point where both heart rhythms mirror one another.

The experiment, sponsored by Pedigree, saw three Australian dog owners separated, and then reunited with their pet to see what kind of effect they had on each other’s heart rate.

“There was a really strong coherence in the heart rate pattern of both the owner and dog. Upon being reunited within the first minute, each heart rhythm became almost directly aligned and we saw a reduction straight away,” Mia Cobb, canine scientist and demonstration co-conductor told The Huffington Post Australia.

While a lowered heart rate for the owner was expected, Cobb said the results were surprising and show the way in which both the owner and dog experience reduced levels of stress when in contact with each other.

“This project is a really good illustration of what most owners experience every night when they come home from work and are reunited with their companion,” Cobb said.

Watch the Australian-first #HeartsAligned demonstration (BYO tissues).

But this response isn’t only limited to dogs.

“We could certainly see the same effect with a cat, lizard or bird. It comes back to the kind of personal connection we have with our animals,” Cobb said.

And as far as other people’s pets go, Cobb said we’d likely experience the same response though it is more pronounced when the animal is known to you.

“This kind of effect of experiencing a lowered heart rate makes a significant difference to our overall wellbeing. If we can decrease our heart rate by hanging out with our animals, that’s something that can really benefit the community,” Cobb said.

The #HeartsAligned campaign aims to celebrate the positive bond Australians have with their animals.

Kryon Q&A

Question: Dear Kryon: I live in Spain. I am sorry if I will ask you a question you might have already answered, but the translations of your books are very slow and I might not have gathered all information you have already given. I am quite concerned about abandoned animals. It seems that many people buy animals for their children and as soon as they grow, they set them out somewhere. Recently I had the occasion to see a small kitten in the middle of the street. I did not immediately react, since I could have stopped and taken it, without getting out of the car. So, I went on and at the first occasion I could turn, I went back to see if I could take the kitten, but it was to late, somebody had already killed it. This happened some month ago, but I still feel very sorry for that kitten. I just would like to know, what kind of entity are these animals and how does this fit in our world. Are these entities which choose this kind of life, like we do choose our kind of Human life? I see so many abandoned animals and every time I see one, my heart aches... I would like to know more about them.

Answer: Dear one, indeed the answer has been given, but let us give it again so you all understand. Animals are here on earth for three (3) reasons.

(1) The balance of biological life. . . the circle of energy that is needed for you to exist in what you call "nature."

(2) To be harvested. Yes, it's true. Many exist for your sustenance, and this is appropriate. It is a harmony between Human and animal, and always has. Remember the buffalo that willingly came into the indigenous tribes to be sacrificed when called? These are stories that you should examine again. The inappropriateness of today's culture is how these precious creatures are treated. Did you know that if there was an honoring ceremony at their death, they would nourish you better? Did you know that there is ceremony that could benefit all of humanity in this way. Perhaps it's time you saw it.

(3) To be loved and to love. For many cultures, animals serve as surrogate children, loved and taken care of. It gives Humans a chance to show compassion when they need it, and to have unconditional love when they need it. This is extremely important to many, and provides balance and centering for many.

Do animals know all this? At a basic level, they do. Not in the way you "know," but in a cellular awareness they understand that they are here in service to planet earth. If you honor them in all three instances, then balance will be the result. Your feelings about their treatment is important. Temper your reactions with the spiritual logic of their appropriateness and their service to humanity. Honor them in all three cases.

Matthew Ward - March 20, 2016

Matthew Ward

With loving greetings from all souls at this station, this is Matthew. A great deal is happening energetically in your world as ever-increasing vibratory rates are rapidly separating wheat from chaff, so to say. Typically, Illuminati-controlled mainstream media are spreading the chaff via selective and distorted coverage of “the news.” Although their former ability to publicize only what they wanted you to know has been considerably weakened by the speed of social media and Internet-disseminated videos and articles, be keenly discerning about information from all sources, including the Internet.

To counter the truthful information on that outlet, Illuminati minions are using it to ply society with false information to keep fear and confusion front and center on the world stage. Trusting your intuition as to what is truth and what is not lets you “go behind the backdrop” of the play that’s unfolding on stage. Knowing that it ends with Earth’s Golden Age in full bloom lets you observe characters in their karmic roles and not get caught up in the oft-tumultuous drama being played out.

Often we have mentioned another aspect of heightening vibrations, the intensification of characteristics and behavior, and mounting violence has evoked a number of emails similar to this from a reader in Australia, who expressed concern about the emergence of hostile gangs in her country: “Can you ask Matthew why there is now so much violence with the young people.” Many young people around the world feel angry, discouraged, even hopeless about their future. The reasons may include poverty, lack of education and job skills, unemployment, broken families, low status to which society has consigned them, governments that ignore their needs, the state of the whole world, or a mix of those circumstances. The young people whose lives have been thusly negatively affected are acting out their intensified feelings by committing violent acts. How we wish that all of those souls who are so dear to us could know that beneficial changes are coming.

My mother has been inundated with emails about Donald Trump from readers in the United States and other countries. Although we are declining requests to speak about his qualifications to be that country’s president—that is for the citizens to assess—and we don’t know if he will be elected—the voters will decide who their next president is to be—we do want to respond to some of the other questions and comments.

“Is Trump the anti-Christ?” No. Antichrist, like Armageddon, is only a concept, an idea. Nevertheless, for people who believe that those concepts are real, there is an antichrist, Armageddon is coming. However far from factual any idea may be, it is the reality of those individuals who believe it is true. Belief creates reality.

“I am very distressed that Donald Trump has fueled the flames of bigotry and racism in America. What is the enlightened view of all of this?” It is a sad truth that bigotry and racism are alive and well in the United States, with one generation teaching the next generation intolerance of differences—skin color, sexual makeup, ancestry, religion, philosophies, ideologies. Some “intolerant” individuals react to Mr. Trump’s remarks as evidence that they are entitled to scorn and act aggressively toward “different” individuals.The “enlightened view” of souls at this station is that all members of our Earth family are of Creator’s pure love-light essence, and we love all unconditionally even as we fervently wish that every soul in your world were loving, kind and respectful. Someday, dear ones, all will be!

“Do you think Donald Trump is responsible for his supporters’ aggressive behavior at rallies?” Every person is responsible for his or her behavior. No one’s remarks can motivate an individual to act in a manner that goes against the individual’s values, principles and self-respect.

“The violence at Donald Trump’s big rallies is not my image of your country’s democratic political system. What is going on?” Many citizens are angry about conditions that they are blaming on the government and they want the changes Mr. Trump is promising. The energy of anger precludes clear thought and sound judgment, so his supporters don’t question how he will do what he says he will—they want their anger to be given a public forum and he is providing that. The large number of his staunch supporters at the rallies emboldens those who choose to regard his aggressive-type rhetoric as their right to behave in that way toward individuals who express disagreement with him. Our responses to the two pervious questions also apply here.

Citizens of all countries who feel that their governments are ignoring them want to be heard, and a collective voice that long has been ignored sometimes leads to a citizenry in violent revolt. As vibrations continue rising, resorting to violence to obtain justness and fairness will end incrementally. To countries now in foment, stability and calm will come with honest leaders who listen and heed; homelessness and impoverishment will ease and eventually there will be homes and financial sufficiency for everyone in your world. You who know you are lightworkers and the millions who also are serving the light without that understanding are ushering in Earth’s era of peace, love and abundance for all.

“How will ascension affect the Walk-in souls? Will their ‘borrowed’ bodies change or will they return to their own bodies? Some have been told their bodies are ‘in stasis' in their 'home' world and some are aboard the Starship they walked in from and will return to .” This needs a bit of explanation for readers who aren’t familiar with the term “walk-in.” A soul in a spirit world enters into an agreement with a soul that wants to leave its body that is exhausted from dealing with physical and/or emotional conditions. The advantage is the age benefit versus starting as a newborn and spending years growing into adulthood, but picking up a life where another soul left off is not a picnic and “walking-in” is rare; even rarer is a soul making such an agreement with a child because the age advantage is lost. However, during this unique era universally, a number of evolved souls have “walked-in” to assist in your world’s transformation; usually their vibratory levels can heal the bodies and calm the minds so that these individuals are able to carry out the missions they undertook.

When the mission is completed, the soul will decide what to do next: Continue living on Earth until physical death, then enter Nirvana for a full spirit lifetime; vacation in that beauteous spirit world while planning the next lifetime; or return directly to its original homeland or a starship, if that is where it had been living prior to entering the Earth body. We add that all souls have the innate capacity to dematerialize, then rematerialize a body or manifest a new one, but only evolved souls know they have this ability and use it.

“Matthew never seems to address what will happen as ascension progresses with health conditions of lightworkers and even our pets. Is it a matter of seeing yourself whole again?” We thank this reader who reminded us that it is time to revisit and add to what we have said previously about health, but first we say that visualization is a powerful tool indeed, but everyone seeing themselves as “whole again” is not enough to make it so.

We hasten to add that never is a perfect body a requirement for personal ascension; however, reaction to a compromised health status does influence the ascension process. Let us say that a person with a chronic illness chose that experience to learn compassion and patience, which in another lifetime the person lacked with people who were ill or had limited mobility or mental acumen. If the lesson chosen is a lesson learned, there is advancement in conscious and spiritual awareness—the goal of every soul in every lifetime. Conversely, if the person is consumed by self-pity, continuously complains and is demanding of attention, the lesson has to be repeated in another lifetime. As a reminder, what you call “reincarnation” is not the return of a person who lived previously, but rather a “new” soul whose personage is designed for the physical lifetime chosen by the cumulative soul. [This is explained in the February 3, 2014 message. ]

Thank you, Mother, for adding that note. Now then, bodies becoming “whole”—all diseases cured; missing limbs re-grown; healthy new teeth, bones, joints and organs replacing artificial substitutes or mechanical support—will happen individually as a process, not an instantaneous feat. Along with one’s pace of absorbing the light that transforms carbon-based cellular structure into crystalline and belief that those physical transformations are a reality, soul contract choices apply.

It is likely that elderly persons who have any of the aforementioned conditions chose them along with transitioning to spirit life before radiant health and complete natural bodies are commonplace in your world. Soul contract provisions apply equally to youngsters; they may have chosen illness and transition at a young age or to experience the illness or disability and later be healed. As stated in prior messages, pre-birth agreements give opportunities for spiritual growth to all souls sharing the lifetime, and individual contracts are designed accordingly.

The health of lightworkers depends upon the degree to which cellular structure has become sufficiently crystalline to protect immune systems from the toxins in air, soil and water and chemically-laden foods and medications that make bodies susceptible to mental, emotional and physical disorders. However, the root cause of all dis-ease is stress. Stress throws body systems out of balance and attacks the most vulnerable parts, and reducing stress can help to improve health and uplift spirits.

Especially important is the self-restoration that solitude offers. A world at peace begins with individuals’ attaining peace within, and the high vibrations of love, forgiveness, compassion and respect for others begins with the same for Self. Honoring Self also is recognizing and feeling grateful for the goodness in your life and not giving energy to rage, resentment, jealousy, pettiness or apprehension about “what-ifs.” Recreation— re -creation!—is important. Perhaps read, listen to your favorite music, write, do jigsaw or crossword puzzles, needlework, sculpting or any other form of artistic expression; and for more active, outdoor recreation, perhaps jogging, biking, hiking, skating, skiing or swimming.

If you can’t avoid encounters that experience tells you may be unpleasant, go into them calmly, confidently, and be amenable to seeing others’ perspectives. That doesn’t mean foregoing your ideas or principles, but rather presenting a demeanor that can evoke a reasonable discussion instead of a stubborn standoff. Set priorities so that at day’s end, you have the fulfilling feeling of accomplishment. When a day turns out to be a “downer,” think how you can do things differently to achieve more satisfying results the next time, and go to bed with your mind at peace.

It is important to get sufficient sleep, eat nutritional foods, drink a lot of water, exercise body and mind, and spend time with Nature. Whenever you can, walkin a park or forest or along a mountain trail, walk barefooted on a sandy beach or grass, put your hands in the soil when you plant flowers and vegetables. If you can have a pet, adopt one or more from a shelter—the gratitude of animals who live with caring persons brings high vibrations into the home.

Meditation, deep breathing, yoga, aromatherapy and massage also are excellent means of reducing stress. Volunteering in community activities such as hospice, animal shelters, school programs and aid to the homeless uplifts your life as you uplift the lives of others. Smiles and laughter lighten not only your heart, but the hearts of persons with you. Visit friends; go to art galleries, museums, movies, sporting events.

In short, take time to do whatever imparts a sense of worthiness, is relaxing, enjoyable and a respite from daily responsibilities. You have the saying, “Dance as if no one is watching”—yes! Our suggestions are not much different from your healthcare professionals’, but let them be helpful reminders to love self, take care of self. And, remember that God’s emissaries always are with you. Ask for help and it shall be lovingly given—it may not be what you asked for, but it will be what you need.

Your pets are multidimensional souls just as people are. Most of humankind don’t know this about themselves, much less about animals; animals do know, and they know there is no such thing as death. They remember their visits in Nirvana during sleep state and how young, healthy and active they are there. If your pets could tell you what they want, it would be to go there and stay rather than enduring pain and debilitation. When your pets’ quality of life has diminished to that state, please know that they are thankful when you make the heart-wrenching decision to mercifully end their suffering. When your time to transition comes, the energy of the love bond between you and your pets will reunite you.

We honor you, our beloved brothers and sisters, and with unconditional love we accompany you all along your Earth journey.

LOVE and PEACE

The amazing moment stray dogs showed up at a funeral to pay respects to the kindly lady who used to feed them

• Margarita Suarez of Merida, Yucatan, was well known for feeding the stray dogs and cats that would show up at her home
• Family members were stunned when the dogs suddenly appeared at the funeral parlor where Margarita's body was being kept
• On the day of the funeral, March 15, the dogs even formed a procession behind her hearse

Mail Online, David MCCORMACK, 30 March 2015

    

A funeral for a woman in Mexico took an unexpected turn when a number of stray dogs unexpectedly showed up to pay their respects.

Animal lover Margarita Suarez of Merida, Yucatan, passed away earlier this month after battling illness.

During her life she was known for her kindness to all kinds of animals and every morning she would feed the stray dogs and cats that would show up at her home.

She was also known for taking a bag of food along when she went out so she could treat other strays she encountered, reports Misiones Online.

Family members were stunned when the dogs suddenly appeared at the funeral parlor where Margarita's body was being kept.

Workers at the funeral home denied any knowledge of the animals and said they had never seen them before.

Realizing that the animals had come to pay their respects to Margarita, the staff allowed the dogs to come in and they laid peacefully on the floor near the woman's coffin.

On the day of the funeral, March 15, the dogs even formed a procession behind the hearse and then returned to the funeral home.

They only left once Margarita's body was being prepared for cremation.

'In pain, they jumped for joy, it was wonderful,' said Margarita's daughter Patricia Urrutia.

She believes that the animals had wanted to be there to say goodbye to someone who had been so good to them.

"Soul Communication" - Feb 22-23, 2014 (Kryon Channelling by Lee Carroll) - (Text version Part I)

“… Animals. You love them, don't you? What do you know about animals, especially the ones you care for and love, the ones you call pets? They have personalities, don't they? They can talk to you! When they communicate, what does that sound like, dear one? What do their voices sound like? "Well, Kryon, you already know they don't have an actual voice." Oh really? Then how do they "talk" to you? Now it gets good, doesn't it? They communicate through concepts. Their conceptual thought groups are available for you to pick up. So guess where you pick up these thoughts? It's through your pineal, which is the interpreter of multidimensional things in your body. It's not your brain, which is picking up their animal broadcasts, dear ones.

Now, some of you are good at this kind of communication. There are ones who are listening to this right now called animal whisperers, and they know exactly what I'm talking about. Why do they call it whispering? I give you my interpretation. It's because the communications are not linear, and they whisper to you through the pineal and not through brain synapse. It comes in thought groups, very softly and all at once, like the smudge. When you pick it up, you know what the dog or cat or horse or hamster or rabbit is trying to communicate. You know the requests they have, perhaps the distress they have, perhaps the celebration or the love they have.

Now, this kind of communication with animals is easy for you, because you all have felt this. I believe you know what I'm speaking about. So apply this lesson, for what I'm teaching today is no different and uses the same process you're going to use in real life and in meditation when you listen to God.

"Kryon, is it true that communicating with animals is soul communication?" Yes, it is theirs to yours, and if you're good at the interpretation of their thoughts, then why doubt yourself about the next step? Practice doing this communication with your own Higher-Self. Your Higher-Self is that part of yourself that vibrates higher than your cellular dimensionality, and it's part of your "soul group". This "soul group" is part of the nine attributes of the Human Being and is the core of you. It is the part that gives you information from the other side of the veil from that which you call God. …”

I am sorry if I will ask you a question you might have already answered, but the translations of your books are very slow and I might not have gathered all information you have already given.

This happened some month ago, but I still feel very sorry for that kitten. I just would like to know, what kind of entity are these animals and how does this fit in our world. Are these entities which choose this kind of life, like we do choose our kind of Human life? I see so many abandoned animals and every time I see one, my heart aches... I would like to know more about them.

Answer: Dear one, indeed the answer has been given, but let us give it again so you all understand. Animals are here on earth for three (3) reasons.

(3) To be loved and to love. For many cultures, animals serve as surrogate children, loved and taken care of. It gives Humans a chance to show compassion when they need it, and to have unconditional love when they need it. This is extremely important to many, and provides balance and centering for many.

Do animals know all this? At a basic level, they do. Not in the way you "know," but in a cellular awareness they understand that they are here in service to planet earth. If you honor them in all three instances, then balance will be the result. Your feelings about their treatment is important. Temper your reactions with the spiritual logic of their appropriateness and their service to humanity. Honor them in all three cases.

The World's Saddest Cat Is Up For Adoption (Video)

Opposing Views, Dominic Kelly, Sat, August 30, 2014

A Washington animal adoption center is actively trying to find a new home for Tucker, the world’s saddest cat.

Tucker has a number of genetic abnormalities that have caused various health issues, including thin skin, easy bruising, and chronic shedding that requires her to wear a protective shirt. Due to her genetic issues, Tucker has a droopy face, and as a result, she’s become known as the “world’s saddest cat.”

“Tucker enjoys sitting on laps and playing with string toys!” said the adoption center Purrfect Pals, according to Metro. “She also loves to be pet under the chin and behind the ears and is great with children.”

Purrfect Pals posted information about Tucker on their website, and since, people from all over the world have expressed interest in adopting the one-year-old feline.

Although Tucker looks incredibly sad all the time, the center says that she is actually really loveable.

Singer Fei Yu-ching gives NT$1m to feed rescued animals

Want China Times, CNA 2014-02-18

Famous Taiwanese singer Chang Yen-ting, better known as Fei Yu-ching, has donated NT$1 million (US$33,000) to an animal protection group, which will use the money to buy cat and dog food for animals in shelters.

Ni Jing-tai, a spokesman for the Animal Rescue Team, said Monday that it set up a fund-raising platform to solicit donations on a long-term basis to help stray dogs or cats or those kept in underfunded private dog or cat shelters.

Ni said that Fei, known for his love of animals, contacted the platform through his agent and informed the group that he wanted to make a donation and hoped that more people would join him.

The group did not expect the donation to be as much as NT$1 million, and "we're very moved," Ni said.

Ni said the money will be used to buy dog and cat food that will then be donated to 50 underfunded cat and dog shelters around Taiwan, benefiting an estimated 12,900 cats and dogs.

PTSD Service Animal Ad Will Make You Laugh, Cry, And Hug Your Dog A Little Closer (VIDEO)

The Huffington Post, Ryan Grenoble, 01/19/2014

Guide dogs aren't only for people who have difficulty seeing, they're also for those "who have seen too much."

That's the premise illustrated in a powerful new ad from the Royal Dutch Guide Dog Foundation, a nonprofit in the Netherlands that trains and places assistance dogs where they're needed -- including with veterans suffering frompost-traumatic stress disorder.

The spot highlights one veteran enduring a nightmare on an unknown battlefield, and the touching response of a canine companion in helping him cope.

Though research on how service animals help veterans deal with PTSD is still in its early stages, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs acknowledges the presenceof a trusted dog has numerous emotional benefits and helps reduce stress.

Doggy-do study points to canine 'inner compass'

Google – AFP, 3 January 2014

(AFP/File, Farooq Naeem)

Berlin — German and Czech researchers studying squatting dogs doing their business have found the pooches have an "inner compass" that may help explain how they find their way home over great distances.

When the four-legged friends stop during a walk to defecate or urinate, they tend to do so along a north-south axis, provided the earth's magnetic field is stable at the time, the scientists said Friday.

There was no notable difference in magneto-sensitivity among breeds, which ranged from a tiny Yorkshire terrier to a large St Bernard, said team member Dr Sabine Begall of Germany's Duisburg-Essen University.

"We found that the dogs are wonderfully aligned north-to-south -- somewhat more so when they defecate than when they urinate -- but only when the magnetic field is stable," Begall told AFP.

For the study, published in the journal Frontiers in Zoology, the 10-member Czech and German research team asked 37 dog owners equipped with compasses over two years to record which way their total of 70 furry friends faced when they relieve themselves.

Initially, the scientists crunched the data from over 7,000 such events but found no clear trend. However, when they looked only at times of low magnetoelectric fluctuation, "there was a wonderful correlation", said Begall.

The findings are another clue that animals can sense electromagnetic waves not noticed by humans, and that dogs, aside from their sharp senses of hearing and smell, also have a "magnetic sense".

In 2008 the team studied Google Earth images and found that cattle tend to graze and lie down along a north-south axis, pointing to a sensitivity also suspected in migratory birds and other species.

"There are anecdotal reports that dogs find their way home over hundreds of kilometers (miles), and an explanation may be that they use the Earth's magnetic field for their orientation," Begall said.

What exactly is going on inside a dog's head when it poops is however "pure speculation" for now, said Begall.

It may be that dogs take stock of where they are, the same way a hiker will orient a map northward, and that they can't do this when high electromagnetic activity makes their "compass needle vibrate".

On the other hand, she said, it is possible that, when dogs feeling the urge to relieve themselves and sense a stable and comforting north-south polarity, "they are especially relaxed".

Kryon Q&A

Question (2002): Dear Kryon, A friend and I are meditating on the recent shark attacks and feel that it has to do with the planetary changes. We just can’t understand why they have become aggressive. What is the message the sharks are bringing? Why is this happening?

—Thank you,

Maryann

Answer: Indeed there are changes with the environment and also with biology regarding the 12-year grid change. I will first give you what was happening in general: What you are seeing are mammals, amphibians, insects, and even fish that are in areas that are new to them. Every life-form that migrates is effected by magnetics. All life forms that follows certain feeding scenarios and are “following the food” have the potential to be affected. This is due to the changing of the magnetic ley lines of the earth as we have stated before.

The areas where you can see in the ocean most clearly are within those migration patterns closest to the land. Where the ocean interfaces with the land, there are challenges for all these creatures for at least one of their generations. Whales will beach themselves by following old magnetics headings that now “drive” them into peninsula’s and other land areas that were marginally on the edge of their old paths. Birds, amphibians, and insects will be seen to do odd things for awhile.

So these shark fish may be in greater numbers in these coastal areas than in the past, but the increased aggressive behavior was actually something else: There was a tremendous “release” of energy due to the Sept. 11 event. Much like the energy of earthquakes and other earth movement, much of the environment “feels it” coming. We have spoken about how the Sept. 11 event was not a surprise to the earth. [See Lee’s article “Did Kryon give us hints”] So, some of the new actions of these fish were due to an actual energy buildup of coming events... of which you now understand.

If you are paying attention, therefore, you might ask, “Does this mean that Human consciousness issues affect the actual earth?” Yes they do! Finally you may begin to see how global consciousness is tied into the environment, and even to basic physics and reality. They are not separate, and never were. The indigenous knew it, and now the “modern” world is beginning to wonder.

Blessed is the Human Being who understands that what they think, do, and intend, actually drives the reality of the dirt of the planet!

Dog 'saved life' of missing Polish girl

BBC News, 2 March 2013 

Firefighters said the animal stayed with
the child throughout the night

Firefighters in Poland say a small dog likely saved the life of a three-year-old girl who went missing from her home overnight in freezing temperatures.

The child, Julia, vanished on Friday and was found lying in marshes several kilometres from her house on Saturday morning, with the dog by her side.

She is now in hospital in western Poland, suffering from frostbite after temperatures fell to -5C (23F).

Firefighter Grzegorz Szymanski said the dog kept the child warm enough to live.

"For the whole night the animal was with the girl, it never left her. Remember, it was 5 degrees below zero and the child was wet," he said, adding that the animal was the most important factor in the girl's survival.

More than 200 people had searched for the child overnight. It is thought she spent the night wandering through the forest near her home in the village of Pierzwin.

She was eventually discovered by firefighters after she was heard crying for her mother.

Dog evolved 'on the waste dump'

Wolves that coped best with cereals
 in their diet may be part of the
story of domestication

Anyone who owns a dog knows that it will rummage around in the kitchen bin looking for food, given half a chance.

But this annoying behaviour may have a more profound undercurrent than we realise, according to scientists.

A new study of dog genetics reveals numerous genes involved in starch metabolism, compared with wolves.

It backs an idea that some dogs emerged from wolves that were able to scavenge and digest the food waste of early farmers, the team tells Nature journal.

No-one knows precisely when or how our ancestors became so intimately connected with dogs, but the archaeological evidence indicates it was many thousands of years ago.

One suggestion is that the modern mutt emerged from ancient hunter-gatherers' use of wolves as hunting companions or guards.

But another opinion holds that domestication started with wolves that stole our food leftovers and eventually came to live permanently around humans as a result.

"This second hypothesis says that when we settled down, and in conjunction with the development of agriculture, we produced waste dumps around our settlements; and suddenly there was this new food resource, a new niche, for wolves to make use of, and the wolf that was best able to make use of it became the ancestor of the dog," explained Erik Axelsson from Uppsala University.

"So, we think our findings fit well with this theory that the dog evolved on the waste dump," he told BBC News.

'Generic' dog

Dr Axelsson and colleagues examined the DNA of more than 50 modern dogs from breeds as diverse as the cocker spaniel and the German shepherd. They then compared their generic genetic information with those of 12 wolves taken from across the world.

The Swedish-US team scanned the DNA sequences of the two types of canid for regions of major difference. These would be locations likely to contain genes important in the rise of the domesticated dog.

Axelsson's group identified 36 such regions, carrying a little over a hundred genes. The analysis detected the presence of two major functional categories - genes involved in brain development and starch metabolism.

In the case of the latter, it seems dogs have many more genes that encode the enzymes needed to break down starch, something that would have been advantageous in an ancestor scavenging on the discarded wheat and other crop products of early farmers.

Domestication may have forced dogs
into a permanent state of puppyhood

"Wolves also have these genes but they don't use them as efficiently as dogs," said Dr Axelsson.

"When we look at the wolf genome, we only see one copy of the gene [for the amylase enzyme] on each chromosome. When we look at the dog genome, we see a range from two to 15 copies; and on average a dog carries seven copies more than the wolf.

"That means the dog is a lot more efficient at making use of the nutrition in starch than the wolf."

As far as the brain development genes are concerned, these probably reflect some of the behavioural differences we now see in the two canids.

The dog is a much more docile creature, the likely consequence of early humans preferentially working with animals they found easier to tame.

"Previous experiments have indicated that when you select for a reduction in aggressiveness, you obviously get a tamer animal but you also get an animal that retains juvenile characteristics much longer during development, sometimes into adulthood," said Dr Axelsson.

This might go some way to explaining the oft-repeated observation that dogs are permanently stuck in a kind of puppyhood.

Open debate

The study of the origin of dogs remains, in many ways, a puzzling field.

Fossil evidence suggests some populations could have been around tens of thousands of years ago, long before the emergence of agriculture. Some researchers have tried to use the regular rate at which error patterns appear in dog DNA as a kind clock to time their rise, but this has produced contradictory results.

One confounding issue might be that domestication happened more than once.

Dr Carles Vila, from the Conservation and Evolutionary Genetics Group at the Donana Biological Station in Seville, Spain, said the debate was wide open.

"I think that modern dogs derived from multiple wolf populations," he observed.

"It could be that dog domestication started once with some animals staying with humans which were then regularly back-crossed with wolves and that could have the same effect. But there could have been completely independent domestications. What is clear is that the number of bone remains is very rare more than 14,000 years ago."

“… The dog has a very faithful nature to those whom it considers it's family. Many times the dog will energetically take negative energy from your energy field. Of course if there is a lot of negative energy the dog can and will become ill, and sometimes even cross due to the great amount of negative energy it has "taken" from you. Many animals work on an energetic level, particularly the domestic dog and cat.

Those animals who remain in their native state, what you would term wild animals, do evolve, yet at a slower rate. Their consciousness is not as developed, so their focus is on survival and caring for their young. ….”

"Animals Consciousness: The Divine of Cats & Dogs" - JUL 31, 2011 (Metraton channelled by Tyberonn)

"... Certain breeds of what may be termed house cats and dogs, are indeed uniquely designed derivations of the Starseed Felidae. They perform specific roles in assisting humans. The 'house' versions of cats & domestic dogs are genetically engineered from the Golden Age of Atlantis.

The genetic engineering was benevolently done by the Sirian - Pleiadean Alliance and is an extremely helpful action, as stated to assist humanity as they became more densely ingrained in the Earth-Plane.

Now, what you term as canine and feline are of the same source, both are derivations of the Starseed Felidae. Cats and dogs are different physical forms of the same source.The Felidae of Sirius A are a fully conscious crystalline being. They have melded into a group unity consciousness, yet still retain aspectual individual identities with the greater harmonic field. The Group Field chooses to assist humanity in your Universe and others.

Cats & Dogs

Both cats and dogs in this derivation are serving as benevolent energy giving assistants to humans, to their caretakers. Both have the capacity to meld their energy fields with the human and are uniquely capable of becoming personality fragments of their human caretakers. That is why certain of these can often begin to display the physical characteristics of their 'owners', although this particular aspect occurs more commonly with the canine.

The canine exudes an extreme loyalty and unconditional love. A dedication that energetically is received by the human, and can assist in many ways. The dogs ( and cats) become both companions , healers and protectors. The feline, the cat, is much more in the ethereal (antimatter) realm in its conscious field. That is why many past societies worshiped the Feline forms of Jaguar, Lion, Tiger and Puma.

These beings are extremely aware of thought forms of ethereal realms and offer a stealth strength and protection. The house cat is capable of tremendous protection for their caretakers from untoward thought forms and negative energies. Certain breeds of dogs have this ability as well, but it is expressed and enacted differently. ..."
