Have you ever met a man who acts like a child?
If you know an adult who refuses to accept responsibility, deems life to be unfair, and lacks ambition, they might have what is known as Peter Pan Syndrome. According to Healthline, the name “Peter Pan Syndrome” first appeared in Dr. Dan Kiley’s 1982 book, Peter Pan Syndrome: Men Who Have Never Grown Up. Although this syndrome can be found in women, Kiley focused on the analysis of men’s behaviors. So, what exactly does the Peter Pan Syndrome entail? It is important to note that this syndrome is not a clinical diagnosis and it, therefore, does not have a concrete set of symptoms. However, there are several behaviors and patterns which are common to all men who have this syndrome.
There are 7 signs that a man in your life is an immature adult who struggles with ‘Peter Pan Syndrome’
1. They neglect their chores and responsibilities
Healthline explains that they prefer to “live for today” and that they ignore their chores, responsibilities, and problems. Moreover, they expect that their partner or family members will take care of them instead.
2. They are emotionally unavailable
Men who struggle with Peter Pan Syndrome cannot commit. They do not want to define or label relationships and they seldom make long-term plans. In addition to this, when they are in a serious relationship, they avoid communicating about issues and fail to resolve problems in a healthy way.
3. They are financially irresponsible
Immature adults spend unwisely, have no savings and never plan for the future. They rely on their parents, siblings, friends, and even partners to provide for them.
4. They lack ambition
As previously mentioned, men with Peter Pan Syndrome have trouble committing. This inability to commit affects not only their relationships but their careers too. That is, they quit jobs frequently and change fields solely because they get bored or stressed. Moreover, they often lack effort, show up late to work or skip it altogether.
5. They throw temper tantrums
Like children, emotionally immature adults expect to be taken care of. They believe they are entitled to special care and demand to be pampered at all times. If they do not get their way, they throw temper tantrums and have breakdowns.
6. They never own up to their mistakes
When they make mistakes, they always find somebody else to blame as they never think that they are at fault. They do not worry about making mistakes as they always expect somebody else to fix the damage they cause.
7. They treat their parents like children do
Men with Peter Pan Syndrome talk to their mothers more than anybody else. In fact, their mothers often buy their clothes, do their laundry, and do their food shopping. Furthermore, many men choose to live at home so that their mothers can take care of them as they did when they were children.
Having an emotionally immature adult in your life can be difficult and frustrating. If you are wondering what causes their condition, Berit Brogaard D.M.Sci., Ph.D. explains that Peter Pan Syndrome ‘often results from an overly protective mother (or father)—a helicopter mom, or a parent who gives their son or daughter free range, and too much praise and attention, during childhood and adolescence’.


iheartintelligence--2020-12-04--Unsolicited Advice: Everybody Hates It, Even Your Children

Think about the last time you received unsolicited advice .
How did you respond to it ?
Were you grateful and thankful or did you become irritated and offended ?
If you are anything like the majority of the people on this planet , you felt irritated .
When we hear people give unsolicited advice , we feel as though we are being criticized and as though our freedom is being threatened .
People give advice out of love and concern .
More often than not , unsolicited advice comes from the people who are closest to us .
This @ @ @ @ @ @ @ partner , or your friends .
Naturally , any advice that comes from the people who love us most comes from a place of love and concern .
If they suggest that you do something differently , they do so because they believe they are helping you or making your life easier .
However , even when we know this , we still get irritated .
How do we respond to advice which is meant to protect us from harm ?
It is worth noting that unsolicited advice is welcome when we are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Nevertheless , Peter Gray Ph.D. notes that even then , people prefer to just receive information about the possible dangers without unsolicited advice .
That is , by informing someone of the risks of a situation , you might convince them to change their mind ; however , if you were to advise someone not to do something because it is risky , they might feel as though their freedom to decide for themselves has been taken away .
Why do we dislike unsolicited advice so much ?
Peter Gray Ph.D. explains @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one-upmanship , or assertion of dominance , or criticism , or distrust , or failure to consider our own unique goals and priorities ’ .
More importantly , he stresses that it makes us feel as though we lack freedom because unsolicited advice resembles control .
It follows then that people dislike feeling as though their spouses or partners are trying to control them ; similarly , teenagers feel irritated by the unsolicited advice of their parents as they also view this as an attempt to control .
Instead of giving advice , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as we dislike being given unsolicited advice , we also like giving it .
We constantly advise our partners , friends , and children to do things our way because it seems safer , easier , or more logical .
What is more , we get upset when our advice is ignored or dismissed .
So , what should we do ?
First , remind yourself how you feel when you are offered unsolicited advice .
Then , instead of telling them what they could do , try to provide them with information @ @ @ @ @ @ @ face .
Upon hearing this , they will either change their mind on their own or they will come to you for advice !
Peter Gray Ph.D. comments on this as he writes , “ The more you refrain from giving unsolicited advice , the more likely it will be that your children will ask you for advice when they need it and will follow that advice if it is reasonable .

iheartintelligence--2020-12-04--Why being single is better than being in a one-sided relationship

We are afraid .
We are afraid of leaving the person we ’ ve been with for so long , we are afraid of being alone , we are afraid of the unknown .
This fear makes us stay in one-sided relationships long after the love is gone .
Sadly , too many people can relate to these words nowadays .
Far too many lost souls are convinced they don ’ t deserve to be loved , but they couldn ’ t be further from the truth .
How could staying in a dysfunctional relationship be better than moving on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shouldn ’ t be afraid of being on your own .
You should be afraid of staying in a one-sided relationship .
Here is why : 1 .
If you stay in a one-sided relationship , you can never feel free to be yourself .
For a fulfilling , wholesome romantic connection , both of the partners need to be fully devoted to one another .
They need to accept each other with all of their flaws and imperfections and inspire one another to invest in their growth both individually and as a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you to move forward and support all of your dreams and ambitions .
Simultaneously , you should do the same for them .
If that ’ s missing from the relationship , and you are afraid to reveal your true colors to your partner , you can never feel free to be yourself around them .
That ’ s a sacrifice you should never make .
2 .
Being in your own company is better than being with someone who doesn ’ t care about you .
Spending quality time by yourself gives @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you love .
But when your partner is someone who constantly makes you feel bad about yourself and judges all of your choices , you can not fully enjoy doing these things .
Their negative energy is enough to suck the beauty out of everything you genuinely cherish .
3 .
Sleeping alone is better than waking up next to a stranger .
Sometimes going to bed alone may feel painfully lonely , but imagine falling asleep next to someone who makes you feel alone every day .
Does your significant other ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your feelings and emotions ?
If that ’ s your case , you may need to do some serious reality check .
When someone does not care about your feelings and shows no interest in the things you treasure , their ‘ love ’ for you can never be real .
At least , when you ’ re waking up alone , you don ’ t have to worry about sleeping next to someone who feels like a stranger .
4 .
Spending quality time on your own is better than being with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , “ If you can love the wrong person that much , imagine how much you can love the right one.
” In other words , the tremendous energy you put into loving a partner who is not fully devoted to you is nothing compared to the feeling you will get once you find the one who will be .
So , instead of wasting your time on half-ass love , use that time to reconnect with yourself and figure out what ’ s best for you .
Once you realize what you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ truly deserve , you will be ready to open your heart for the love that will fulfill you , not kill you .
5 .
Being alone with your thoughts is better than talking to someone who doesn ’ t get you .
You are a dreamer .
You have thoughts , ideas , and beliefs you can not wait to share with the people you love .
Your soul is craving for a real connection with someone who would get inspired by your ideas and support your wildest dreams .
So , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ free-spirited mind by staying in a one-sided relationship with someone with whom you have nothing to talk about .
Don ’ t stay with a person who doesn ’ t care about the things that move you and has no idea how to handle a real , meaningful conversation .
You deserve better .

We are afraid. We are afraid of leaving the person we’ve been with for so long, we are afraid of being alone, we are afraid of the unknown. This fear makes us stay in one-sided relationships long after the love is gone.
Sadly, too many people can relate to these words nowadays. Far too many lost souls are convinced they don’t deserve to be loved, but they couldn’t be further from the truth. How could staying in a dysfunctional relationship be better than moving on alone and pursuing true love?
You shouldn’t be afraid of being on your own.
You should be afraid of staying in a one-sided relationship.
Here is why:
1. If you stay in a one-sided relationship, you can never feel free to be yourself.
For a fulfilling, wholesome romantic connection, both of the partners need to be fully devoted to one another. They need to accept each other with all of their flaws and imperfections and inspire one another to invest in their growth both individually and as a couple. Your significant other should encourage you to move forward and support all of your dreams and ambitions. Simultaneously, you should do the same for them. If that’s missing from the relationship, and you are afraid to reveal your true colors to your partner, you can never feel free to be yourself around them. That’s a sacrifice you should never make.
2. Being in your own company is better than being with someone who doesn’t care about you.
Spending quality time by yourself gives you the freedom to do the things you love. But when your partner is someone who constantly makes you feel bad about yourself and judges all of your choices, you cannot fully enjoy doing these things. Their negative energy is enough to suck the beauty out of everything you genuinely cherish.
3. Sleeping alone is better than waking up next to a stranger.
Sometimes going to bed alone may feel painfully lonely, but imagine falling asleep next to someone who makes you feel alone every day. Does your significant other’s behavior show nothing but indifference towards your feelings and emotions? If that’s your case, you may need to do some serious reality check. When someone does not care about your feelings and shows no interest in the things you treasure, their ‘love’ for you can never be real. At least, when you’re waking up alone, you don’t have to worry about sleeping next to someone who feels like a stranger.
4. Spending quality time on your own is better than being with the wrong person.
Someone once said, “If you can love the wrong person that much, imagine how much you can love the right one.” In other words, the tremendous energy you put into loving a partner who is not fully devoted to you is nothing compared to the feeling you will get once you find the one who will be. So, instead of wasting your time on half-ass love, use that time to reconnect with yourself and figure out what’s best for you. Once you realize what you’re made of and what you truly deserve, you will be ready to open your heart for the love that will fulfill you, not kill you.
5. Being alone with your thoughts is better than talking to someone who doesn’t get you.
You are a dreamer. You have thoughts, ideas, and beliefs you cannot wait to share with the people you love. Your soul is craving for a real connection with someone who would get inspired by your ideas and support your wildest dreams. So, please, don’t disappoint your free-spirited mind by staying in a one-sided relationship with someone with whom you have nothing to talk about. Don’t stay with a person who doesn’t care about the things that move you and has no idea how to handle a real, meaningful conversation. You deserve better.

Single father Jason Wickline from West Virginia, USA, shared his inspiring journey with the world last year. He stressed the importance of one specific moment from years ago when he was arrested for making methamphetamines and charged with child neglect.

Cockroaches may evolve into being almost impossible to kill , according to scientists .
A recent study published in Scientific Reports discovered that German cockroaches ( Blattella germanica ) are becoming resistant to many bug sprays and insecticides .
What is more , the species may also be immune to chemicals they have never been directly exposed to .

The worst thing is that they have developed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ now tolerant of some toxic substances .
Michael Scharf , member of the Department of Entomology at Purdue University and author of the study , explained : After various toxic treatments , the researchers examined the species ’ reactions in numerous cockroach-infested homes across Indiana and Illinois .

According to the research, these obnoxious insects could even develop resistance within a single generation, IFL Science reports. The worst thing is that they have developed cross-resistance, which means that they are now tolerant of some toxic substances. Michael Scharf, member of the Department of Entomology at Purdue University and author of the study, explained:
“We didn’t have a clue that something like that could happen this fast. We would see resistance increase four- or six-fold in just one generation.”
After various toxic treatments, the researchers examined the species’ reactions in numerous cockroach-infested homes across Indiana and Illinois.
However, no matter what chemical cocktail they used, they could not affect the size of the cockroach population. What’s even more bothersome is that in some cases, populations actually skyrocketed as the nasty little creatures started to gain resistance.
During detailed lab tests, the examiners found out that many of the cockroaches had become “essentially immune” to a particular class of pesticide.

According to WHO, cockroaches are proven or suspected carriers of the organisms causing diarrhea, dysentery, cholera, leprosy, plague, typhoid fever, and other viral diseases.
Scharf stated:
“This is a previously unrealized challenge in cockroaches. Cockroaches developing resistance to multiple classes of insecticides at once will make controlling these pests almost impossible with chemicals alone.”
Thankfully, cockroaches are still not immune to the good old newspaper strike. However, this study reveals that people must be more cautious when it comes to pest control. Simply relying on insecticides turns out to be far from enough to battle these near-invisible creatures.

Boy with a rare genetic condition that runs in the family becomes Face of Inclusion in the fashion world
Boy with a rare genetic condition that runs in the family becomes Face of Inclusion in the fashion world
This Brazillian boy-wonder has embraced his differences in the most glamorous way possible – by becoming a fashion advocate for diversity.
Samuel Silva, from Bahia, is now pursuing a modeling career at the age of 7!
The child was born with the rare skin condition piebaldism, which causes a melanin deficiency, the Epoch Times reveals. As per MDedge Dermatology, fewer than 1 in 20,000 babies are born with piebaldism. But instead of making him feel different, this condition helped little Samuel to become a significant part of the fashion world.
As Daily Mail reports, Julio Sanchez-Velo, Samuel’s uncle, said:
“Samuel attracts a lot of attention in public, like when he is shirtless on the beach and you can see the white markings all over his body. Strangers will come up and ask all sorts of ignorant questions, like if Samuel has been burnt in an accident. Everyone is used to it, and just explains what piebaldism is.”
Samuel’s whole family, including his mother, grandmother, several uncles, and cousins, have the same unique condition.
The model’s mom, Nivianei de Jesus Purifiçao, recalls that her mother was once forced to cover up her pale skin patches. However, Nivianei wanted to show the world that their different appearance is not something to be ashamed of – it is something they must be proud of.
Eventually, Samuel’s mother gained everyone’s respect in their community. But she still wanted her children to avoid having to handle mean comments and stares from strangers. Unfortunately, while her first child, Andreia, was born without piebaldism, Samuel inherited the rare condition from his mom.

Samuel’s parents taught him how to love himself and embrace his uniqueness.
Last year, the boy’s parents started an Instagram account, sharing their wonderful son’s best moments. Serving looks, Samuel instantly became an internet sensation.

Shortly after, the rare beauty of the child caught the attention of the international modeling agency Sugar Kids. He has since been featured in Junior Style London, Bazaar Kids, and Dixie Magazine, promoting diversity in the world of fashion.
What is more, Samuel has also walked the ramp of Toronto Fashion Week, Paris Fashion Week, and London Kids Fashion Week. His loving uncle shares that his nephew is “very artistic, and loves to walk on the runway and pose for photographs.” Julio adds:
“He has become the face of acceptance and inclusion in the children’s fashion industry.”
The boy wonder now inspires thousands of children to fall in love with their differences and feel confident in their own skin.

Laying in his lap was a towel-wrapped baby kitten.
“He was bottle-feeding her,” Gillian told The Dodo. “You could see the caring. My heart felt like it was going to explode to see someone with that much caring. He was so in the moment.”
After looking at the man and his furry baby for a while, she knew she could not leave the subway without learning more – so she went to the man and asked him about his kitten.
“We had a chat,” Gillian said. “ He told me he’d found the kitten alone between two buildings.”
And instead of choosing to leave the baby to its own devices, the man decided to save it and care for it.
“The kitten was looking up at him as he fed her,” Gillian said. “It was so heartwarming. I told him, ‘Thank you.'”
Eventually, Gillian had to get off before being able to ask for the person’s name.

لا اعرف باى تهمة ستحاكم الفتاة التى ارتدت زى فرعونى وتصورت امام سقارة هل يختلف فعلها عن عارضات الازياء الاجانب ؟ القانون ليس فيه ما يجرم سلوكها لكن اهل الوصاية على الناس بأى حجة للتكدير على الناس ونشر النكد هم الغاضبين pic.twitter.com/pv29KhzXto — ahmed ezzarab (@aezzarab25) November 30, 2020
Translation by The Middle East Eye: I don’t know what the girl who dressed like the pharaohs and was photographed in front of the Saqqara will be charged for. Does her act differ from those of foreign fashion models? There is no law that criminalises her behaviour, but the people who are meant to guard the public are using any pretext to annoy people and spread malice.
The Sisi regime investigates & arrests women for posing, dancing, singing fully clothed on social media. Meanwhile,the more they undress, the more #Egyptian men are celebrated for virility, masculinity, strength.

iheartintelligence--2020-12-07--Congressman Introduces Bill Requiring Americans To Be Alive In Order To Vote

Texas Representative Brian Babin last week brought forward a new bill called the “ You Must Be Alive to Vote Act ” .
The bill has a very simple function : It comes following charges by the president and other concerned parties of voter fraud , due to allegations that ballots were being cast in the names of dead people during the 2020 presidential election .
“ The right to vote is one of the most vital pillars of our democracy , the foundations of which are election integrity and confidence in our democratic processes , ” Babin stated .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ able to steal the ballot of a deceased person and cast an illegitimate vote should disturb , alarm , and outrage every American citizen , no matter what side of the aisle they sit on .
To protect our democratic process and Americans ’ faith in our elections , we must ensure that deceased individuals are not allowed to remain on state voter rolls.
” “ My bill will prevent any funds from the U.S .
Departments of Transportation or Education , with the exception of those going toward law enforcement agency grants @ @ @ @ @ @ @ state that do not annually check their voter lists against the Social Security Administration ’ s most recent death records in order to purge them of any individuals found to be deceased .
All elected officials , from your local city council member to your U.S. President , have an obligation to obey the law and prevent fraud in our elections , and Congress should not be awarding taxpayer dollars to any counties or states that refuse to do the job they swore to do.
” When President Trump ’ s campaign staff @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from Newton County , Georgia , voted in the election , the county ’ s elections director , Jennifer Logan said the story was false , according to CNN .
She said one of the dead voters “ was removed from ( voter ) rolls in 2003 ” when they died .
But Babin said the bill “ sad to say is a necessary item that we must introduce in light of the fact that we still have a lot of problems with a lot of perception out there by half of America @ @ @ @ @ @ @ open and transparent election process.
” “ You would think it would be unnecessary to have a bill like this , I mean it goes without saying you should be alive before you get to vote.
” Babin said in an interview with One America News ( OAN ) : “ We ’ ve uncovered some fraudulent plans to register a bunch of dead people to vote down in South Florida , and it ’ s the easiest thing in the world for these local counties to purge their voter list of deceased @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is to go to the Social Security system and cross check against their deceased Social Security recipients on their list and then purge them off of the voter list.
” “ It ’ s just not happening .
And so my bill would actually penalize these states and these counties from getting any kind of federal money from the Department of Transportation or the Department of Education if they do not do so on an annual basis .
We would not , certainly not withhold funding from law enforcement agencies , but for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
And it ’ s something that has to be done.
” “ This is not a Republican bill this should be a bipartisan effort to make this election process a lot more transparent When we have the perception out there by so many millions of Americans — 74 million plus had voted for President Trump — to try to clean up our election process .
It is absolutely inexcusable that we would have an election process in this country , where we have had a peaceful transfer of power between presidents and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ now all of a sudden , we have an enormous number of individuals in this country that don ’ t trust the election process .
Not good.
” So far , the bill has the support of 8 co-sponsors .
“ Everyone in this Congress — everyone in this country — should want an assurance that dead people are not voting .
And we don ’ t have that assurance right now because so many of these voter lists have just not been updated , whether it ’ s intentional , and whether @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , you know , nonchalance .
We need to make sure that these voter lists are accurate and that deceased individuals are not on their voting.
” “ This is just the tip of the iceberg for this , this past election , ” Babin said .
“ We better get this right are the consequences to our free democratic republic will be dire.

“To require States to obtain information from Social Security Administration on deaths for purposes of voter registration list maintenance, and for other purposes.”

I’m leading the effort in Congress to put a stop to people illegally casting ballots using the names of the deceased. My bill, the You Must Be Alive to Vote Act, guarantees this type of voter fraud is never successful.

When President Trump’s campaign staff last month alleged that 4 deceased people from Newton County, Georgia, voted in the election, the county’s elections director, Jennifer Logan said the story was false, according to CNN.
She said one of the dead voters “was removed from (voter) rolls in 2003” when they died.
“Logan noted that someone with the same name but spelled slightly differently did legally vote in the county this year,” the news station reported.

iheartintelligence--2020-12-07--Scientists create a Star Trek-like plane that uses zero fuel and ‘silently glides through the air’ t

Scientists create a Star Trek-like plane that uses zero fuel and ‘ silently glides through the air ’ thanks to ion thrusters Star Trek fans , listen up !
Scientists have developed a Star Trek-like plane that uses ‘ ion thrusters ’ and no fuel at all !
The futuristic jet is powered by ion thrusters instead of fuel like conventional aircraft , IFL Science reports .
Steven Barrett from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ( MIT ) published his work process in Nature .
In the paper , Barrett described in detail how he and his team came up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ plane .
In a video interview , the Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics says : Although the Star Trek franchise originates from the 1960s , our technology was not advanced enough to make the building of such an innovative fuel-free plane possible .
Until now .
While conducting elaborate tests between 2016 and 2018 , the MIT team used an aircraft with a wingspan of 5m ( 16 ft ) that weighed 2.45kg ( 5.4lbs ) .
Its wings are covered up in electrodes , which create a strong electric field .
This @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , which gives the plane thrust .
Prof. Barrett explains : During the ten probing flights , the plane successfully flew about 60m ( 200ft ) in about 12 seconds .
The trust efficiency was estimated to be about 2.6 % .
However , as the speed increases , the efficiency of the system increases as well , exactly like a regular jet .
The experts working on the cutting-edge technology used a technique similar to how ion engines are used in some spacecraft to travel through space .
The main difference is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fuel , the Star Trek-like plane does not require propellant .
By 2018 , the futuristic plane was only a prototype .
However , it has a tremendous potential to become a real game-changer way before the 23rd century .
For now , the team works on implementing the thrust system into powering drones .
The aeronautics expert says : Of course , more tests are about to follow in the coming years to perfect the Star Trek-like plane technology .
After all , as Captain Jean-Luc Picard once said , “ Things @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not .

The futuristic jet is powered by ion thrusters instead of fuel like conventional aircraft, IFL Science reports.
Steven Barrett from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) published his work process in Nature. In the paper, Barrett described in detail how he and his team came up with the idea of creating an electroaerodynamic-powered plane.
In a video interview, the Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics says:
“The future of flight shouldn’t be things with propellers and turbines and should be more like what you see in Star Trek, with a kind of blue glow and something that silently glides through the air.”
Although the Star Trek franchise originates from the 1960s, our technology was not advanced enough to make the building of such an innovative fuel-free plane possible. Until now.
While conducting elaborate tests between 2016 and 2018, the MIT team used an aircraft with a wingspan of 5m(16 ft) that weighed 2.45kg(5.4lbs). Its wings are covered up in electrodes, which create a strong electric field. This way, they produce an ionic wind, which gives the plane thrust. Prof. Barrett explains:
“The basic idea is that if you ionize air, which means removing an electron from it, you can accelerate the air with an electric field. Like the force you get if you rub a balloon on your head.”
During the ten probing flights, the plane successfully flew about 60m(200ft) in about 12 seconds. The trust efficiency was estimated to be about 2.6%. However, as the speed increases, the efficiency of the system increases as well, exactly like a regular jet.
The experts working on the cutting-edge technology used a technique similar to how ion engines are used in some spacecraft to travel through space. The main difference is that while those spacecraft rely on ionizing fuel, the Star Trek-like plane does not require propellant.
By 2018, the futuristic plane was only a prototype. However, it has a tremendous potential to become a real game-changer way before the 23rd century.
For now, the team works on implementing the thrust system into powering drones. The aeronautics expert says:
“Drones today are quite noisy and irritating. Now, we wouldn’t want our urban environments to be polluted by all this noise, so developing a way of propelling drones that’s silent or near-silent would be advantageous in that context.”
Of course, more tests are about to follow in the coming years to perfect the Star Trek-like plane technology. After all, as Captain Jean-Luc Picard once said, “Things are only impossible until they’re not.”

California, US: A man ended up fighting a bear to rescue his dog, reports say.
The pitbull named “Buddy” was enjoying the day outside Kaleb Benham’s house in Nevada County the day before Thanksgiving when Kaleb heard a beastly growl and saw that a 350-pound bear had Buddy in its mouth, according to CBS 13 Sacramento.
“I heard a growl, looked about 75-100 feet down, and the bear was dragging him by his head,” Kaleb said. “Honestly, the only thing I could think of was ‘save my baby.’”
And so he did – by charging the bear and punching it straight in the face.
“I just ran down there, plowed into the bear, tackled it and grabbed it by the throat and started hitting it in the face and the eye until it let go,” Kaleb recalled.
But even after Buddy was saved, Kaleb worried that he might not make it:
The nearest veterinary hospital was closed due to a positive coronavirus case. So, Kaleb decided to take his dog to Mother Lode Veterinary Hospital in Grass Valley, News 9 reported.
Buddy had an operation and after three hours and some stitches, he was able to make it home in time for Thanksgiving. The loving pair spent the holiday resting and recovering.
Buddy’s face was severely damaged. His ears had to be stapled back on. But he’s recovering! Kaleb and Buddy spent Thanksgiving laying in bed resting, but they’re more thankful than ever.

The hungry bear went back to their home many times since the incident, and Kaleb doesn’t know what to do about it.
“It made an attack and had its food, and its food got taken from it, and it wants it back,” Kaleb added.
A GoFundMe page was since set up to cover the vet bill for Buddy’s surgery. It has so far raised $2,278. If you wish to help, please click HERE.

Two fishermen were able to save a sea turtle off the coast of the Bahamas from the deadly jaws of a tiger shark recently – and now a video of their kind deed is going viral on social media.
Kai Survance, who shares his stories on his Instagram page, said that he and his friend Bronson Russell went out for a fishing trip “first thing in the morning” on November 22, with the goal of catching a little wahoo. But little did they expect, they would cross paths with a tiger shark.
“We were three miles off-shore and it was splashing around. We thought it was a marlin actually,” Kai told Fox News.
As seen in the video, the shark got close enough for them to see the turtle being caught in its jaws – but they knew rescuing it would not be that simple.
“I didn’t wanna stick my hand out there, that tiger shark was massive,” Kai said.
The two waited until the beast relaxed its bite and let go of the frightened turtle just in time for them to grab it.
“We backed up the boat and grabbed it… went three or four miles toward shallow water,” Kai said.
Kai and Bronson then dropped of the turtle – who was likely just as shocked by what had just happened as its rescuers were.
“It was once-in a lifetime,” Kai said, “I’ve spent countless hours on the water. From when I could walk and swim, I’ve been on the water… and that’s gotta be one of the craziest things I’ve seen.”
