‘Please don’t do this to your pets,’ police said after finding the dog
Florida police found an abandoned dog tied to a fence on the side of a major interstate as Hurricane Milton races toward the state.
The Florida Highway Patrol in Tampa found what appears to be a bull terrier tied to a chicken-wire fence near Interstate 75 on Wednesday. The dog was already knee-deep in water when officers arrived, according to video shared by the Florida Highway Patrol.
“FHP Troopers rescued a dog left tied to a pole on I-75 near Bruce B Downs Blvd this morning,” the agency wrote on X. “Do NOT do this to your pets please.”
The animal is now safe with police.
Florida governor Ron DeSantis said anyone abandoning their pets in the face of the hurricane would pay the price. He tweeted: “It is cruel for anyone to leave a dog tied to a post in the middle of an oncoming storm. FL will hold anyone who mistreats pets accountable.”
Pictures released Monday showed a mother and baby orangutan huddling together, as well as workers lifting a porcupine named “Chompers” into a crate. The zoo’s flamingos were also put into the back of a truck and moved as a herd.
“The zoo has a comprehensive severe weather plan in place to ensure the safety of our animals and team members and will take all precautions as conditions warrant,” it said in a social media post on Monday.
Larger animals such as elephants, giraffes, panthers and bears have barns or night housing that are hurricane-proof, but birds and smaller animals are being moved to kennels, Sandra Torres, vice president of marketing and communications for the zoo, previously told The Independent.
Hurricane Milton is just hours away from making landfall in Florida. The storm’s intensity has fluctuated in recent days, weakening to a Category 3 hurricane on Wednesday afternoon.
However, the National Hurricane Center predicts it will be “one of the most destructive hurricanes on record for west-central Florida.”
High winds and storm surge are predicted to devastate the state. Many residents are under evacuation orders as the state braces for 18 inches of rainfall and up to 15 feet of storm surge.

«Age is just a number for her!» Jane Fonda makes appearance at the Film Festival and everyone is saying the same thing
J. Fonda immediately took center stage and established herself as the event’s queen when she made her appearance at the Cannes Film Festival. The celebrity exudes grace and unmatched charisma. She decided on a black outfit and elegant, tasteful jewelry to go with it.
Fonda boldly displayed her red lips and silver gray hair. With her full makeup for the evening, she appeared remarkably younger. Everyone began to agree that she aged like wine, but then all changed when someone pointed out a small detail that revealed her true age.
The whole point is that her hands were wrinkly, revealing that we are genuinely dealing with an 86-year-old woman, despite her impeccable beauty and elegant attire. When asked how she keeps her youthful appearance intact, she emphasizes the necessity of getting enough sleep, smiling a lot, and avoiding the sun.
Nobody can dispute, though, that Fonda continues to exude softness and charm while looking absolutely stunning for her age.
