An Asthmatic Sea Otter Has Learned to Use an Inhaler
Poor Mishka the otter couldn't breathe after smoke from Washington State wildfires made its way over the mountains and into the Seattle Aquarium.
Luckily, a staff veterinarian noticed Mishka's problem, ran some tests and determined that the otter needed her own inhaler.
ABC details the successful treatment:
Now Seattle Aquarium biologist Sara Perry is working with Mishka to get her comfortable with using her inhaler. Like other training maneuvers, Perry uses food to try and entice Mishka to learn to use the inhaler, filled with the same medication used to treat humans with asthma.
...The aquarium said they are unsure why Mishka developed the condition, which is more common in humans, but speculated that it may be due to reduced genetic diversity in the population since they were nearly wiped out in the early 1900's and had to be repopulated with otters from Alaska.
For maximum adorbage, watch this video that provides more information and shows little Mishka taking her medicine.
Poor little thing, even the otters are being affected by the rash of Western America wild fires.

Seal Rides a Whale, Probably to Protest Uber
Robyn Malcolm scored a beautiful picture of animal friendship in Eden, New South Wales when she captured that glorious image of a seal riding a whale.
Look at it again.
He's just chilling. Hanging out and enjoying the scenery while his oceanic minion delivers him to his destination.
There's no telling what part this cetacean transportation has in the global turmoil over ride sharing.
But probably this pair is just really late to the weasel riding a woodpecker party and they think they can catch some of that sweet, sweet virality.
Here's that picture again, just for fun.

This Hero Dog Watched Over His Trapped Friend for a Week Until They Were Found and Rescued
For a week dogs Tillie and Phoebe went missing. Phoebe, the basset hound in the picture, was stuck in a concrete cistern where both dogs were found. During that time Tillie stood watch over Phoebe, leaving only to look for help and return. Both dogs were cold and hungry but otherwise in good shape. Thanks to Tillie, they were both safely rescued.
