Woman Fosters Rescue Dog—Then Discovers Her Hidden Talent
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A dog named Trudie who was saved from certain death is now safely with a foster carer, but not before her rescuers noticed she had an incredible hidden talent. Trudie doesn't walk or run, she hops. And her signature bounce has seen her likened to a "kangaroo". The young pup was rescued from China alongside three other dogs—Bunny, Benjamin, and Barney—through the efforts of Saving Harbin Dogs and Great Bulls Of China. Trudie was one of many dogs crammed into a truck and bound for sale in China's dog meat industry, the Humane Society International (HSI) reports that an estimated 30 million dogs are killed for human consumption each year across Asia, including 10-20 million in China alone. Now safely in the U.K. thanks to Silver Fox Dog Rescue, Trudie is temporarily in foster care and already making waves online for her joyful leaps in the air. The rescue shared a video of Trudie's trademark jumps on their Facebook page, and the caption said: "Sometimes dogs come along that are just special. Trudie is one of those." Pictures of Trudie who was rescued from the dog meat trade and has since been showing off her happy jumps.

Silver Fox Dog Rescue Claire, who is currently fostering Trudie, told Newsweek: "Trudie is the sweetest girl you could ever meet. Understandably she is terrified of men currently." The dog meat trade is especially prevalent in southern provinces like Guangxi and Guangdong, with the city of Yulin being notorious for its annual Dog Meat Festival, but there are signs of change when it comes to the dog meat industry, in 2020, China banned the sale of dog and cat meat and cities passed laws to ban its consumption. The rescue shared the video of Trudie's adorable jumps on their Facebook page last month, where it amassed 72,000 views as people couldn't get enough. "Once she's assessed and vet-checked we will start taking applications for your very own Kangaroo," the post said. "Hello Trudie," said one commenter. "I'm off to show mum [this video], she loves dogs and goats and you're like two in one." While another viewer said: "Poodle x kangaroo, that's a new one on me. She's lovely." Another asked: "Is she half goat? She looks great fun!" "We don't know when she will be available for adoption just yet," Claire explained. With 34 dogs currently in their care, Silver Fox Dog Rescue always perform full health checks before dogs become available for adoption. Trudie is due her vet check on Thursday and then the shelter hope she will be available for adoption and find the right family who will love her jumping skills and sweet personality.

Sting and Trudie Styler ‘Are Definitely Marriage Goals' 32 Years in: ‘Still Wildly Attracted'
Sting and his wife of 32 years, Trudie Styler, are more in love than ever, as evidenced by new pics they shared from a vacation they took around this time last year, as a source exclusively tells Closer their famously New-Age lifestyle with working wonders for their marriage and being an inspiration to all those around them. 'They're still just as devoted to their daily yoga practice as ever and it's very obvious that it's helped to keep them both incredibly fit and flexible,' the insider says. 'People love to joke about Sting's love of Tantric sex, but there's a lot more to the Tantra lifestyle than just long sessions in the bedroom.' The 'Shape of My Heart' singer, 73, revealed in the 1990s he and his wife, 71, engage in seven-hour Tantric sex sessions, which caught a lot of attention at the time and had the unfortunate side-effect of oversimplifying the public's understanding of the fairly obscure esoteric yogic tradition to a system used to pump up a couple's love-making game, which The Police frontman himself has attempted to straighten out. Tantra can encompass a lot of different specific systems, as it originally comes from a Sanskrit word meaning 'to weave,' a reference to interwoven layers of conscious awareness that defines the practice. And while the Western world developed an acute fascination with just the sexual aspect of 'neo-tantra,' traditional tantra is complex and can encompass diverse spiritual practices. What many overlooked was that, in addition to the sex, the couple really meant they were putting effort into a deeper connection than what's normally shared via day-to-day conjugal activity. 'If we had seven hours, I'd show you what I mean,' the iconic musician joked in a 2014 interview with The Guardian, while Trudie added, 'We have a great time every time.' The source explains they carry their practice into other aspects of their lives. 'It's a daily practice, even when they don't have sex, they do breathing exercises together morning and night to nurture their connection.' And It's clearly been working. Trudie recently shared a series of throwback pics of them on vacation in the Maldives in March 2024, looking relaxed and happy on a white sand beach. Appearing totally in sync, they strolled hand in hand around the tropical landscape, which the source notes is one of their favorite grounding activities. 'They're both big outdoor enthusiasts.' 'They're always doing something,' the insider adds, 'whether it's bike riding or hiking or gardening, they're very in touch with nature and they insist that's a big part of why they've stayed so full of vigor.' There doesn't seem to be any slowing down in sight for the septuagenarian couple, either. Every year their connection grows stronger, the insider explains. 'Even after all these years they're still wildly attracted to each other, if you didn't know how old they are you would never think they were 71 and 73, it's really amazing to see a couple that's taken such great care of themselves physically and mentally.' 'They are definitely marriage goals.'
