In 1925, the town of Nome, Alaska experienced a deadly diphtheria outbreak.
With an incredibly harsh winter, dogsledding was the only way to get there.
Balto the sled dog led a team of 150 dogs and 20 men to transport the antitoxin to Nome, saving the town from the outbreak.

pragnienie w muszli klozetowej, a wiewiórka znikająca na drzewie powoduje, że w konsternacji raz po raz okrążają pień. To nie brzmi jak profil klasycznego geniusza. Nici z sonetów Shakespeare’a, lotów kosmicznych czy internetu – gdybym ograniczył się do typowej definicji (2)

It’s #internationaldogday! So what better way to celebrate than a mega-thread featuring prominent & historic humanists and their canine companions? Let us begin. Here's British philosopher and humanist Bertrand Russell, sharing a lovely moment with his dog.
Einstein was profoundly involved in the humanist movement on both sides of the Atlantic. He also worked with Bertrand Russell to write the Einstein-Russell manifesto which called for peace during the Cold War. It's quite nice to see him here having a break. #internationaldogday
This one comes from our #HumanistHeritage project. Florence Dixie was a war correspondent, suffragist, & traveller who threw off the restraints of Victorian domesticity. She was a humanist, & also had a St Bernard called Hubert. Shout out to Hubert. #Internationaldogday
#InternationalDogDay Indian ancient texts have many interesting dog examples. Below: Dattatreya, ascetic, avatar, and one of the lords of Yoga, with his four dogs.
In the Mahabharata, only a dog was the final companion of Yudhisthira in his final leg to heaven. He refused to enter heaven without the loyal dog, who later turned out to be Dharma himself, taking Yudhisthira's test of loyalty.
Kalbhairav, the fearsome form of Shiva, and his dog mounts, as below.
We think there's no better way to end #InternationalDogDay than by narrating this little story of how @dimibluepooch came into our lives, made the club and its people his own, and taught us a thing or two about love. Seven years on, he still does.
When we moved into the BFS in 2013, his was one of the first faces we saw. White with the odd blobs of brown, he sat with one paw over the other. He was elegant and lazy and he knew it really well. We weren’t sure about his first touch, but he had to be a ‘Dimitar’ a.k.a Dimi.
He’d lazily wag his tail – just about with enough vigour to let us know he was happy to see us. He ruled the slope leading to the club offices, but knew well enough that the building was out of bounds.

Me: Yes it's more #InternationalDogDay #TrainTwitter crossover content! Several railway stations had trained "Canine Collector" charity dogs, inc Laddie at Waterloo & Jim at Slough. Laddie is now stuffed at @RailwayMuseum; Jim is stuffed at Slough

Here are some more reported facts about "Station Jim", the very old dead dog that is now stuffed and mounted on a Slough station platform. #internationaldogday #ohgodthehashtags #thisislikeinstagram #dogs #deaddogs #idontevenlikedogswhyamitweetingthis getreading.co.uk/news/reading-b…
Unfortunately Laddie in @RailwayMuseum often bloats out into a horrific shape, terrifying children, as trapped gas (from a life of overfeeding by idiots) expands. To prevent canine cadaver explosion, NRM conservators are seen here on their biannual Laddie-gas-extraction duty.
Happy #InternationalDogDay! To celebrate all the good doggos out there, let’s dive into some of the most important pup-related Qs.
Up first, the origin story of “doggo,” a term that has been around a lot longer than you’d think 1/ wired.trib.al/JscihMQ

Now, for the scientific answer to the question every dog owner has pondered at some point—especially when it’s late or 13 degrees outside #InternationalDogDay 2/ wired.trib.al/CeNUYia
If you’ve ever tried to do yoga with a pup around, you’ve probably found it difficult to get through a session without your doggo budging in to get on the mat.
It’s not because they love yoga. It’s because they love you #InternationalDogDay 3/ wired.trib.al/0SwcgU9

Worth mentioning that those studying non-human organisms do not get an exemption from having to defend their work against racist bullshit. This crowd will use papers about dogs, cats, mice, flies, songbirds, and CAVEFISH to tell their just-so stories.
It's #InternationalDogDay, so let's start with a paper about dogs! Just skim those tweets on the Altmetric page and let me know what you think.

It’s #InternationalDogDay. So in honor of good dogs everywhere, this is a story about Pawsitive Change, a program that pairs inmates with rescue dogs. 1/ wired.trib.al/Sm64tzz
📸 Shayan Asgharnia
📸 Shayan Asgharnia
The program, where inmates train dogs so that they can be adopted by forever homes, launched in 2016 at the California City Correctional Facility and proved wildly successful. Photographer Shayan Asgharnia documented the training sessions in 2017. 2/ wired.trib.al/Sm64tzz
Inside the prison walls, Asgharnia witnessed a series of remarkable transformations. "The inmates want so badly to get into the program," he said. "It gives them a sense of purpose." 3/ wired.trib.al/Sm64tzz
George Bush Sr's dog got so fat in 1992 that he (Bush) sent this memo to all White House staff.

So, uhh, years later, George Bush Sr. wrote a letter to a puppy (!!) and mentioned the death of Ranger, the fat dog.

The English bulldog appears frequently in our digitized Curzon collection of cartoons from the Napoleonic Wars. Here, a bulldog named Wellington and a Russian bear attack a monkey representing Napoleon.
Meanwhile, back in London, a "most Wonderful and Sagacious...LEARNED DOG" could be seen as part of a variety show. He could tell time, count money, and "spell any Person's Thoughts by the impenetrable Secret". digital.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/inquire/p/8cc7… #InternationalDogDay
