From Kyle Hill.
I have been working with the Clean Futures Fund for a while now and one of the best parts of the year for me is receiving ‘pupdates’ about the wild dogs of Chernobyl, the cute furry friends roaming the 1,000 sq mile exclusion zone. Recently, images and rumors have been circulating the internet that the radioactive area is now turning these dogs blue.
If you find these puppies as fascinating as I do, please consider donating (tax deductible) to the Clean Futures Fund using the button below the video or here: https://www.paypal.com/fundraiser/charity/2818171
