Cat Dies After Saving Family Members From Deadly Snake Bite
Family pets are just that — part of the family. The love shared, and bonds made, between them and their family members are treasured, valued, and irreplaceable. The variety of birds, cats, dogs, hamsters, hermit crabs, and more that I visited when I saw family definitely converted me into an animal lover at an early age! That closeness that many of us feel with the animal kingdom does, however, come at a cost. Sadly, it is often in the most tragic circumstances that we see just how much our pets mean to us, and how much we mean to them....
Koala Rescued After A 5-Car Pileup On Australian Freeway
Australia, for those that have never visited, can seem like an almost mythical place – Christmas in the summer, the fictional “drop bear” invented to scare tourists, and the many real-life, strange animals that call it home can all lead outsiders to never know exactly what news reports to believe about the land down under. It’s no surprise, then, that many social media users jumped to conclusions after reports of a five car pileup on a busy Adelaide freeway. The crash, some believed, was caused not by a runaway...
Mom Finds A Giant Spider Guarding An Egg Sac Inside Her Son’s Toy Truck
If you happen to be somebody who is afraid of spiders, then this story is going to give you the willies. On the other hand, if you have arachnophobia, it may just make you run screaming in the other direction. This story is out of Western Australia, where we are accustomed to hearing about strange creatures that roam about in the countryside. As it turns out, there are also some spiders that are rather large in the area and Brooke Thorpe managed to find one. The spider was in her son’s toy truck and was guarding an egg sac with hundreds...
Owner Makes A Custom Sled For His Senior Dog So He Can Go Anywhere His Human Goes
If there is one thing we know about dogs, it’s the fact that we love it when they go places with us. It doesn’t matter if we are going around the block or across the country, having our dog by our side is the only way to travel. For some people, a quick ride in the car is about as far as they will venture with their, pooch but for others, they may reach for the stars. That is the case with a man from Calgary named Donny Marchuk. He has always enjoyed hiking and running with his golden retriever, Sully. Photo: Instagram...
Late Dog Owner’s Will Leaves $5 Million To His Beloved Border Collie
Border Collie Lulu is a very good girl. So good, in fact, that Lulu’s recently departed owner left the 8-year-old dog $5 million in his will. When Lulu’s 84-year-old owner, Bill Dorris, passed away, officials found a very surprising clause in the late Nashville man’s estate. Rather than donate to charity or a long-lost family member, the late businessman just left everything to his dog. According to WTVF, Dorris was determined his beloved dog wouldn’t want for anything else for the rest of her life. Photo:...
Rescue Dog Reunited With Owner After Saving His Life
Several months ago, Brian Myers adopted a 6-year-old German shepherd named Sadie from the Ramapo-Bergen Animal Refuge in Oakland, New Jersey. Sadie was a sweet dog, but like many shelter dogs, she came with her baggage. The shelter staff noted that she seemed to display a lot of anxiety and trust issues towards men, but surprisingly, she seemed to take a liking to Myers. Myers was determined to get through to her and help her overcome all her issues. And that is how their friendship began. Eventually, Sadie would be able to repay Myers for...
Dog Starved For 7 Years Gets A Proper Meal And Finds His Forever Home
There are many things that I have come to understand in my thirty years of life. But one of the big mysteries that still completely baffles me is the fact that people can be outright cruel to animals. Animals are some of the most precious and innocent beings – they deserve only love and compassion. But for whatever reason, some people think that it’s okay to treat them with such blatant disregard. Odie was a poor dog who had suffered for 7 years. In that time, Odie had been chained up and starved to the point that he was just skin...
Dog Goes Crazy Whenever He Gets To Play With His Pig BFF
There is nothing better than a playdate with your best friend. For one adorable pooch, whenever he sees his best friend he absolutely loses it with excitement. In fact, he is well-known to do a little happy dance upon seeing his bestie and we think that is absolutely precious. Everybody should get that excited about their best friend, right? While we might assume that Colt, the golden retriever, is excited about seeing another dog, that actually isn’t the case. In fact, Colt’s best friend happens to be Carlton, a pig. Photo:...
Soldier Rescues Baby Squirrel’s Life And Now They’re Inseparable
When a soldier in the Belarusian army, Pyotr Pankratau, found a little baby squirrel who was on death’s door, he knew he had to help.

He took Masik everywhere in the army with him. And when the time came for Pyotr to leave the army, Masik...
Dogs Learn New Hobbies During Their Downtime In Lockdown
It’s pretty much been a whole year of lockdown. Yes, we may have had small windows of eased restrictions, but the majority of the time has been spent indoors. For many of us, we’re probably reaching the end of our patience – there are only so many streaming services that one can subscribe to before it all starts to overlap. It seems that even our pets are at their wits end with the boredom that comes with quarantine. For Olive and Mabel, the dogs of Scottish broadcaster Andrew Cotter, they had plenty of time on their paws to...
