Including dogs, cats, hippopotamus, python and bats. All of them performed resonant actions that clearly proved that our younger brothers are really brothers to us, not in words, but in deeds.

Awarding of the winners of the "Shaggy Oscar" will be held this year for the sixth time. The purpose of our Award is to pay tribute to the heroes of our younger brothers who have committed acts worthy of respect or raised important topical issues in our society. Our four-legged friends, as well as people and organizations that help animals, will receive recognition. We also traditionally summarize the results of the contest for the media and present awards to the winners of the popular vote.
