During one of the fiercest wildfires, Fire Chief Ryan Thompson spotted an injured mountain lion, singed and struggling amid the flames.
Despite the danger, he offered water, and the lion cautiously approached, drinking from his hand in a rare moment of trust.
For a few minutes, fire and fear faded, replaced by a silent understanding between human and wild animal.
That brief act of compassion reminded Ryan that even amid chaos, kindness can bridge worlds and give hope where it’s needed most.

✨ As the year draws to a close, many of us are surrounded by festive family moments. But for some, this season can feel a little lonely. At Fashion Houndz, we believe that the joy of pets can brighten even the quietest days.

🐾 Over the next four Wednesdays, we’ll be sharing special throwbacks of our own dogs – both as pups and now – to spread some smiles. Because nothing lifts our spirits quite like those adorable faces.

This week, meet our eldest girl: Lolly, a 13‑year‑old Chihuahua cross. 💕
🐶 She’s a gentle, cuddly soul who asks for very little.
🐶 Though she’s lost her hearing and sight in one eye, she still loves snuggling up with the other dogs.
🐶Just move slowly around her – surprises can give her a fright – but her heart is full of love.

📸 We’d love for you to join in! Share your own pet pictures with us so we can celebrate them together and keep the smiles flowing.

Let’s make this season brighter, one wagging tail and happy memory at a time. 💖

It is amazing what some countries are doing for stray animals.

When winter temperatures drop well below freezing, countless stray dogs in Hungary struggle just to survive the night. Instead of relying on electricity or traditional shelters, local engineers created an ingenious solution: solar-heated dog tunnels. Built from dark, heat-absorbing materials and lined with thermal gel, these structures trap sunlight during the day and slowly release warmth throughout the night. Their curved shape blocks harsh winds while keeping the interior cozy — all without cables, switches, or ongoing power costs.

This design is now being adopted by animal groups across Eastern Europe because it solves a massive problem with simple physics. The shelters require zero maintenance, work even in remote areas, and give vulnerable animals a fighting chance during winter. It’s one of those innovations that reminds us how engineering can be powered by compassion, not just technology.

Who knew RSPCA have been around since 1883 and were about the welfare of animals, children and elderly.

100 years of progress, one mission: protecting animals 🐾❤️
Today marks a century since the passing of the Animals Protection Act 1925 - the landmark legislation that gave RSPCA Inspectors the legal powers to protect animals and enforce welfare standards across Queensland ⚖️

But the fight for animal welfare in Queensland began long before.

It started with a single Inspector in 1883, shortly joined by many Honorary Inspectors, all pursuing animal welfare and the welfare of children and elderly (yes, we once did more than animal welfare). But back then, Inspectors had no legal authority, just compassion, courage, and a mission to protect animals.

That all changed with the Animals Protection Act 1925, giving Inspectors formal powers alongside police and other authorised officers, guiding their work for decades.

It didn't stop there. In 2001, the Animal Care and Protection Act took animal welfare to the next level: strengthening Inspectors’ powers, increasing owners’ responsibilities, and introducing tougher penalties for cruelty.

Today, 34 Inspectors travel across Queensland, responding to over 14,000 animal welfare concerns every year and enforcing the law. And we continue working closely with the State Government, advocating for improvements to the Act and for higher welfare standards for all animals - from pets to livestock to wildlife 🐶🐮🦘

From humble beginnings to legal recognition, we’ve come a long way in 100 years. But one thing remains the same: protecting animals.

This is great news.

Under the updated legislation, landlords now need a "reasonable" rationale to say no to a tenant having pets — and that reasonableness can only be decided by an independent tribunal.
