Shocking surprise for Russian bomb squad - Suspicious boxes reported at bus stop

Two cardboard boxes were discovered at a bus stop in Ulan-Ude Russia.

Russia's bomb squad responded to calls of two suspicious cardboard boxes left on a bus stop bench in Ulan-Ude.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The packages were reported by concerned bus passengers who noticed the boxes were sealed with tape and didn't appear to belong to anyone.

Authorities blocked off the area and attempted to ascertain the contents of the suspicious packages.

With news of random and lone wolf attacks in several European and Middle Eastern countries, officials gingerly investigated the packages.

As the bomb squad debated whether to destroy the packages with a controlled explosion, a startling discovery was made: The contents of the boxes were two puppies and a cat.

Authorities were first shocked then relieved the packages were not dangerous.

The puppies were estimated to be just over a month old while the cat is believed to be between two and three-years-old.

One puppy was adopted immediately by a nearby shop assistant and the remaining puppy joined the cat at a local animal shelter.

The person responsible for abandoning the animals has yet to be found.

The story touched many, with Masha Mevedeva commenting online: "I wish I was living here, please please adopt those adorable fluffsters. Who would be so mean and throw them away?"
