Two extremely cute seal pups from Kaliningrad Zoo were reunited with wild nature on Wednesday after zookeepers brought the little animals in wooden shipping boxes to the water's edge on the southern coast of the Baltic Sea. The adorable cubs seemed confused at first as they began crawling around the boxes, but eventually dived into the water and appeared to be swimming strongly.
This adorable pup is named Lady, and she has a form of canine muscular dystrophy as well as a mental illness. Her muscles are decaying rapidly and she has a lot of trouble walking and getting around. Her owner, a man named Vassilis Paleothodoros, took her to various vets in Athens, where he lives, and they all suggested to euthanize the pup because her disease can be difficult, both for the animal and for the guardian. However, since the four-legged fluff ball doesn't seem to suffer from any physical pain, Vassilis wouldn't give up on his beloved canine companion and decided to seek the advice of an expert on dogs, a specialty vet named Vassilis Tzigkouras. The vet, who is a former plumber, decided to build a specialty wheelchair for the handicapped animal. Now Lady is able to walk around again thanks to the unique wheelchair. Lady's rare condition, Vassilis's love for his furry friend, and one passionate vet, came together to design a wheelchair that ended up giving this poor pup another chance at mobility and a fulfilling life. Don't you love it when humans help animals?

Meet Kroshik, a tiny seal cub who was about to be released back into the open waters of Russia's massive Lake Ladoga. Kroshik was found by fishermen near the village of Sviritsa in Russia's Leningrad Region on March 25th and was later placed under the care of vets at the Marine Mammal Rehabilitation Center. Caretakers were quite surprised about Kroshik's size, he was one of the smallest of his kind ever to have been admitted to the center. An animal welfare organisation called the Friends of Baltic Seals Foundation then tried to release Kroshik, along with another seal cub named Pasha, back into the wild, but were in for a surprise when Kroshik, whose name literally translates to tiny crumb from Russian, touched the water and decided that he would rather stay with his human buddies. It's unclear Kroshik was just too attached to his carers or whether the water was just a bit too chilly that day.
