Florida Lifeguards Pull Helpless Deer From Ocean Waves After Hearing the Animal Yell for Help
Florida Lifeguards Pull Helpless Deer From Ocean Waves After Hearing the Animal Yell for Help originally appeared on PetHelpful. When they're on the job, lifeguards pledge to do everything possible to ensure the safety of everyone in or near the water. It's a significant responsibility that comes with many surprises! Whether it's encountering unique marine life or being replaced by canine 'lifeguards' at the family pool, whoever's in charge of water safety has to be ready for the unexpected. On July 6, a group of lifeguards at Florida's Flagler Beach were put to the test when they heard a call for help from a very unexpected source: a deer in the water! Chase Hunter and Leo Peters wasted no time paddling to the animal's rescue before working tirelessly to get it back to shore. Though the rescue itself was a surprise, they had no clue just how many obstacles they'd be facing in the water. OMG! Not only was this poor doe deer treading water and battling currents during a torrential downpour, but she was also surrounded by sharks. It's such a relief that the lifeguards heard her calls for help! "'We save lives' goes hard," one commenter observed. You can say that again! These lifeguards gave their all to rescue an animal in need despite many this is what they'll do for a wild deer, just think of how efficiently they rescue people! I agree 100% with other viewers who said, "I would trust Mr. Mustache with my life." At the same time, commenters find the irony of the situation amusing. What are the odds that someone named Chase Hunter rescued a deer? You could say that he chased the deer down in the water, but the only hunting he did was to find a safe place to release the animal. The rescue could have stopped there, but the lifeguards also took the deer safely across a busy road to bring them back to the forest. How sweet! This lowers the odds that the animal runs right back in the water, but it also increases her odds of finding her family or a safe place to stay. Thank you, Flagler Beach lifeguards, for looking out for anyone and everyone in the water! Looking for more PetHelpful updates? Follow us on YouTube for more entertaining videos.

Krypto Has Become the DCU's Baby Yoda Goldmine
DC Studios' Superman has, of course, come out of the gate with an extensive line of merch inspired by James Gunn's new vision for the Man of Steel. That vision places special focus on Krypto the Superdog, which comes as no surprise to fans of the filmmaker. Gunn is a noted animal rescue supporter who has come out on record to say his dog Ozu served as inspiration for Krypto's role in the upcoming relaunch of DC Universe films. Speaking to People Magazine, Gunn said that Ozu came from a hoarding situation among 60 other dogs before reaching a shelter and being exposed to people. 'When I first adopted Ozu, I was starting to write the Superman script. Ozu was such a terrible, uncontrollable dog—tearing up our entire house—I thought, 'What if he had superpowers? We'd be screwed.' And thus, the filmic Krypto was born.' Gunn said, 'He really just gave the script that unusual aspect that made it fun to write.' The director continued to explain how Ozu informed Krypto's design: 'We'd captured Ozu's body and used it as the model for Krypto, just changing the color of his fur. We also used the hundreds of video references for the way Ozu played and fought and bit my feet for Krypto's onscreen actions.' And you can see the similarities between Ozu's and Krypto's scruffy cuteness not just in his on-screen counterpart but also in the merch being released for the film. While there seems a sort of Baby Yoda-ification of Krypto's adorable factor in the film, it makes sense. Thankfully it's not in a Baby Krypto way, but it doesn't have to be because—let's be real—dogs are so many people's Kryptonite. Although, we have to note there will be infant clothes with Krypto on them from Kyte Baby that are dangerously cute. The Kyte Baby collab is set to drop on July 31. The stuffed plush versions of Krypto may be meant for kids, but we can't help but want one. On a weekend visit to the WB Store at the Studio Tour in Burbank, we stopped by the Superman pop-up area and fell in love with the Krypto from the plush fountain (remember those?). You can visit this hidden gem without a tour ticket, and I can't say enough how it recaptures the good old days of visiting the Warner Bros. store in the mall back in the '90s. The Metropolis-inspired section featured products for adults, kids, and pets, bombarding you with merch for the movie. The pet section really reeled me in; there were hoodies, toys, and a 'Dog Dad' Superman shirt depicting the hero and his pup. You could even get a Krypto cape with name embroidery for your fur child, and I was mightily tempted to buy one for my dog. Sassy Woof also dropped its Superman collab collar, leash, and harness sets, which are just too cool. Milkbone has come out with limited-edition treats in addition to Krypto toys that are equally as cute as the ones for their humans. There's plenty online and in the go-to fandom retail stores too. BoxLunch just released its Superman drop which features Supes' classic colorways and Krypto tees. And internet fandom cult button-up purveyors RSVLTS also released a stellar Krypto print just in time for San Diego Comic-Con, too. I'm sure if you're not a dog person you might think that's going too far, but let me raise you the ability to accessorize with a Krypto ring from Alex and Ani that features the Superdog (looking like Ozu) in flight. Oh—and you can actually buy a flying Krypto toy too, which should take some of us back to the Sky Dancer doll days (watch your eyes, probably). It's all so earnestly all over the place for a movie that is at least being well received critically, so we're kind of obsessed with it catering to everyone—in particular dog lovers. The power of Krypto is that strong already, and I haven't gotten a chance to see the movie yet. I try to refrain from buying merch for a movie before I've seen it, and I will not let Krypto break me down. I learned my lesson to keep this an unbreakable movie merch rule after the first Jurassic World, which should tell you enough. However, if you choose to get a jump on collecting for this new era of DC films, there's no shortage of awesome Superman and Superdog goods for you or your own super buddy. Want more io9 news?

Boa constrictor Bailey, reported missing at B.C. beach, turns up in owner's kayak
This photo posted to Facebook by the Coastal Animal Rescue & Education Network shows Bailey, a boa constrictor that briefly went missing. (Credit: Facebook//coastalanimalrescue) Bailey the boa constrictor has turned up safe in its owner's kayak after being reported missing at a beach in Tofino, B.C., this week. James Rodgers, co-founder of the Coastal Animal Rescue and Education Network, says the owner who reported the six-foot reptile missing on Sunday found it on Wednesday. Rodgers says it's likely the snake slipped into the kayak, which its owner also brought to a beach, on the day it was thought to have gone missing. He says it is not clear how someone could miss a six-foot-long snake inside a kayak. The network says in a social media post that Bailey had been 'snoozing' in the kayak. It says the snake is 13 years old and 'a little small' for its age. This report by Wolfgang Depner, The Canadian Press, was first published June 13, 2025.
