We often think dogs live the good life, as they seem to do nothing but play, eat, and sleep. Yet, some dogs are busy at work, some without being asked to do so! Take Kupata, the stray dog in Georgia, for example. This street-roaming pup takes it upon himself to guard a crosswalk all day, every day. In the town of Batumi, this stray stays by a single crosswalk and forces traffic to stop to allow pedestrians to cross the street. He’s especially protective of children! If Kupata sees a car isn’t slowing down, he’ll bark at the driver as they drive away and run to protect the person crossing the street. One local even shared that Kupata will cross the road with children and stay at the park to protect the youngsters. KUPATA’S ROAD TO FAME THE STRAY DOG WHO CAPTURED THE WORLD’S HEART

Ensuring a Fair Legal Process Allowing an indefinite timeframe for filing a lawsuit could lead to complications in the administration of justice. Memories may become unreliable, and evidence may be lost, hindering the defendant’s ability to mount a proper defense. Setting a time limit ensures that both parties have a fair opportunity to present their cases. Protecting the Rights of the Injured For individuals who have suffered injuries, understanding the statute of limitations is essential to protect their legal rights. Failing to file a lawsuit within the specified timeframe can result in the loss of the right to seek compensation.
