Dog Tries To Get Pets From Decorative Halloween Witch
Who doesn’t like making new friends? Okay, full disclosure, I probably don’t. I’m pretty happy with the four friends I’ve got, and as it stands, I spend the majority of my time at home anyways. But that’s because, as my lovely friends have pointed out, I’m like a human cat. Cats are notorious for being aloof and keeping to themselves. But not dogs. Dogs are the embodiment of friendliness and joy. Just go to any dog park and you’ll see a bunch of happy little pooches wandering around making friends...
Dog With Tumor On Her Tongue Saved From Life On The Streets
There is no friend more loyal than a dog. Anyone who has ever had the pleasure of having a canine companion knows just how sweet and loving they can be towards their person. They are the ones who don’t care at all how we look, how much money we have, etc. Our dogs are the definition of unconditional love, and it is this type of love that makes their company so special. It can also be heartbreaking to see a dog hurting after losing a cherished owner. Dogs don’t always understand why their owners have left. Photo: Pexels/Tudor One...
Abandoned Pit Bull Lays Lifeless In The Hot Sun Until Help Finally Arrived
We’ve all experienced a bad sunburn at least once in our life. Personally, I’ve had three bad ones. My last horrible sunburn was after a day at the beach. It was overcast for most of the morning, so I thought I could get away with not putting on sunscreen for the first two hours. Oh man, was I wrong. By the time I left the beach that afternoon, I looked like I’d spent my day inside a microwave. While sunburns are painful, we sometimes forget that they can happen to animals as well.

Woman Rescues ‘Screaming’ Puppy Abandoned On The Side Of The Road
A woman was riding her scooter in Bali when she saw a small puppy lying in the road. When she tried to approach the dog, it “screamed” at her and fought back, but she didn’t give up on rescuing him. The rescue happened when Prue with Mission Paws’ible spotted the little dog so close to oncoming traffic. She knew it was incredibly dangerous for the pup to stay there and could tell he desperately needed help. It wasn’t a safe place to stop, but Prue hopped off her scooter and attempted to rescue the dog anyway....
Stray Puppy Leads Rescuers To His Sibling In Abandoned Building
Is there anything better than helping someone in need who can’t help themselves? It is absolutely one of the noblest things we can do. The folks at Northeast Animal Rescue in China have dedicated their lives to just that, working as volunteers in under-served areas. Strays in these places grow up in streets full of trash marked with abandoned factories. Because China has no national program for strays or shelters, it’s up to volunteers and local groups to fill in the gaps and give these animals a chance. Photo: Wikimedia Commons...
Colombian Workers Could Get Paid Leave After Pet Deaths If New Bill Passes
Many people, myself included, consider our pets to be family. They play such a special part in our lives and their dedication, companionship, and love are irreplaceable. When they pass, it’s only natural to take time and mourn the unique role they’ve played in our lives. Thanks to liberal representative Alejandro Carlos Chacón in Colombia’s House of Representatives, a bill to enshrine that as a worker’s right may soon pass in the South American country.

Family Adopts Puppy With ‘Small Ear’ For Boy With Same Condition
For 8-year-old Maxson Hess, it was a typical Friday morning as his family got ready to go to breakfast. Then, as the family left their Las Vegas home, he was taken by surprise — a crowd of people was waiting outside, and with them was a familiar face! “I just walked out and I saw them, and then I saw Nemo, and I was like, ‘Oh my gosh we got Nemo!’ It was such a surprise for me, such a surprise,” Maxson later told KTNV 13.

Dogs In The UK Must Wear Collar With ID Tag Or Owners Risk Fines And Jail Time
Dog owners who walk their pets without a collar and ID could face hefty fines in the UK, thanks to the wording of a specific 1992 law. The Control of Dogs Order 1992 has been around for nearly three decades, but enforcement has often been patchy and pet owners may not be aware of all the requirements that it put into place. But now, as the country faces rising rates of dognapping and other crimes, authorities are getting serious about making sure pets are easily identifiable.

Puppy Finds His Forever Home After Being Rescued From The Trash
When the team at Northeast Animal Rescue goes out looking for strays in China’s most rundown and deserted areas, they know what to expect. “Stray dogs began to increase with the epidemic,” the team wrote on Facebook. Visiting street markets and factories that have been shuttered, the team finds that “in the declining industrial areas in northeastern China, the economic depression has made the situation of pets difficult.” Photo: Facebook/The Dodo Still, despite the difficult situation and their limited resources,...
Man On Road Trip Adopts Two Puppies He Found On The Side Of The Road
It was December 2016, and Jordan Kahana was on an adventure — he’d planned out a 12-day road trip and was excited to see all different parts of the US, from snowy peaks to the beach. The only problem? He was traveling alone, and by day two was already feeling those familiar road trip blues. Then, on his way to the Grand Canyon, he caught sight of something on the road that would change his life forever.
