They both get gold medals in cuteness

Two stray dogs who managed to avoid being culled from Sochi’s streets ahead of this year’s Olympics have found a new home in sunny Florida.

Representatives from two animal rescue organizations — Russia’s LAPA and Florida’s ARNI Foundation — picked up the pups in Orlando last week. Their names are Austen and Honey and they’ll be staying at ARNI’s headquarters in Daytona Beach until they find a permanent home, central Florida’s News 13 reports.

One of my rescued cats knew a lot of words, all of them in Spanish. It was easier for me to adapt than to try to do ESL for cats.
