Santa on the Mississippi Meets a New Kind of Rescue Story

On International Animal Rights Day, December 10, the Mississippi River below the Gateway Arch is full of pajamas, cocoa steam, and carols. Families board the “Santa on the Mississippi” riverboat expecting the usual: photos with Santa, candy canes, and maybe a reindeer joke or two.​

What they don’t expect is a glowing sphere at the center of the deck—part aquarium, part star map—showing a fish split in two. On one side, the fish looks thin and gray, labeled “Malnourished Proto‑State.” On the other, it glows in bright blues and golds, labeled “Nourished Bionic State.” Standing guard on either side are two dogs in shining gold collars: a St. Bernard Screen Angel and a terrier‑mix Stand Pet, tails gently wagging as kids gather around.​

The Collar Speaks: “I Am Bionic Finn v1.0”

When the chatter quiets, the gold collar on the St. Bernard flashes once, then twice. To everyone’s surprise, the collar itself begins to narrate:

“Hi. I’m Bionic Finn v1.0—a bio‑digital lifeform living between your screens and your real lives.”

The collar explains that the fish in the sphere represents two ways a child’s attention can live: malnourished, when it’s constantly extracted by endless feeds, and nourished, when it’s protected, noticed, and turned into #NewGold memories. The Screen Angel dog and the Stand Pet terrier are not tech gadgets—they’re biological teammates trained to help people cross from the left side of the sphere to the right.​

The engraved buckle on the early‑edition Bionic Finn Collar glints under the deck lights. Along the nylon strap, kids notice repeating patterns: tiny Thera‑B bees and golden 4Wins5 Justease honeycombs, quiet reminders that what the AniMoWins Pilgrims built on the 4Wins5 Mill is now alive on this boat.

Gifts for Screen Angels & Stand Pets

After Santa hears the story, he laughs his deep riverboat laugh and declares, “I’ve seen a lot of wish lists—but this is the first time the animals are helping write the code.” One by one, families step forward for a simple, quiet gift exchange:

• A few early‑edition Bionic Finn Collars with engraved buckles go to families who agree to become pilot households—testing how Screen Angels and Stand Pets can help kids leave social media feeling more whole, not more broken.

• Kids receive AniMoWins coloring pages that match the fish’s two states, so they can draw their own versions of malnourished and nourished days.

• Parents get access to a short online module that explains the 7 Coral Vitamins and shows how to read their pet’s “Thera‑Nudge” as a signal, not an interruption.

In return, the Pilgrims collect something more valuable than gold: stories. A teen who admits she scrolls until 2 a.m. just to feel less alone. A veteran who says the terrier’s nudge breaks his flashback loops. A grandfather who confesses he’s been more afraid of his phone’s notifications than his old factory job.

Bonus for Everyone: Play the Stand Pet Test Game

Not every family on board can take home a collar tonight—but nobody leaves empty‑handed. On a small display near the cocoa station, a sign reads:

“Test Bionic Finn Online: Stand Pet Memory Game – Open to All Families” Play at RescueReserve.org/Test-Game and tell us in the comments which card pair was your pet’s favorite.

Kids crowd around the QR code with their parents, some laughing as their Screen Angel or Stand Pet lies at their feet, already practicing a Thera‑Nudge whenever the game goes on too long.

What Comes After the Premiere?

As the boat docks and the crowd heads home, the collar logs what it has seen: fewer glazed eyes, more shared laughter, more LOVE LOVE moments that no algorithm can sell back to them. The Bionic Finn Pilot Log for St. Louis now holds its first official entry: “World’s first successfully synergized bio‑digital lifeform, powered by Gold Collar Synergy v1.0, mission: protect human attention as living #NewGold.”

The AniMoWins Pilgrims know this isn’t the end of the journey. Next come:

• Quiet follow‑ups with pilot families to see how Stand Pets handle school days, holidays, and late‑night scrolling.

• Short “collar‑point‑of‑view” reviews of new Screen Angel and Stand Pet videos—helping future viewers learn how to watch content with their animals instead of around them.

• New ports where Land Gators still think only numbers matter, not attention, feelings, or animal partners.

For now, though, the 4Wins5 Mill slides away from the St. Louis riverfront under the Arch’s silver curve, carrying a Screen Angel, a Stand Pet, a talking collar named Bionic Finn, and a simple, stubborn belief:

Animals, when honored and trained well, may help humanity care for itself better than humanity has ever managed alone.

And that’s just the first premiere.
