A gargoyle peering out from Notre Dame.
Brassai, 1930s

It's called "Le Stryge de Notre Dame." That is, a strig from Greek mythology. Not sure why this is a stryge and not a gargouille.

Oh: Apparently "true gargoyles" are involved in spitting out water from gutters on the roof:

This etymology hints at Le Stryge's association with darkness, mystery, and nocturnal creatures. Le Stryge, however, is not a true gargoyle, as it does not serve the architectural function of draining water. Instead, it belongs to the family of chimeras, ornamental sculptures that often adorn Gothic buildings.

Cleared up!

Adopting a senior dog who was abused in a breeding operation and then abandoned into a shelter. Now she has the life she always deserved.

The Bouncer.

Aw: Saving a baby horse trapped in the mud and reuiniting it with its mother. I'm surprised the mother horse didn't attack. How did the horse know he was helping rather than stealing the foal? (I've heard horses respect humans because of their height, not realizing that the horse itself is two or three times as big as a human when you consider length.)

Lost sheepdog is found guarding some sheep that strayed from the flock.

Dog smells her owner.

Family resemblance I.

Dog needs to be rescued... from boredom.

Dog is proud to show off that he's a big boy and can use the pool by himself.

We're at a crisis point of bear out-of-controlness.

No really, these bears are learning martial arts now.

Now three dogs are climbing the Pyramid of Giza!

There is no rest when baby goat are around.
