Fishermen Put Their LIfe On The Line To Save A Stranded Deer
Bransen Jackson and his friend had gone on a fishing trip to Panguitch Lake in Utah.

Jackson and his pal saw the struggling fawn, who was about a year old, and knew immediately that they had to help. The two friends made the dangerous trek across the ice in order to help it. They risked their own safety to help the fawn get its footing on the ice,...
Young Woolly Rhino Found Perfectly Preserved In Russia
Most of us think of the melting permafrost as being a bad thing but there may just be a silver lining to that dark cloud. That was recently seen when a well-preserved woolly rhino was revealed as the permafrost melted. It had been frozen solid for so long that it’s internal organs were still mostly intact. The Siberian Times reported that the woolly rhino was found in the Yakutia region in Russia’s extreme north as the permafrost melted. It happened in August and experts feel as if it is the best-preserved specimen found as of...
Golden Retriever Has Emotional Reunion With Cow He Hasn’t Seen In Months
They sometimes say that “birds of a feather flock together” but it is also true that “opposites attract.” It’s a beautiful thing when we see it in action, such as what we see in the video below of a calf and a golden retriever puppy becoming best of friends.

Elephant Ivory Is Still Being Sold Online Despite Being Banned For 11 Years
It was over a decade ago that eBay banned the sale of elephant ivory from its online auction marketplace. According to research that was recently published in the Tropical Conservation Research journal, they may have outlawed the practice but it did little to stop it. Researchers from the Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology (DICE) led the study and wrote a paper on how vendors are using code words to disguise illegal ivory sales. They are offering ivory for sale on eBay but calling it “bone.” If an object has been carved...
Puppy Is Rescued After Being Found On The Streets Wrapped In Wet Bandages
Our hearts go out to dogs that have been abandoned, particularly those who were given up without any hope. That is what happened with one puppy who was found abandoned on the streets in dire straits. It seems as if someone had tried to help her to a certain extent, but she was left immobile and in extreme pain after her legs were bandaged. She was in a hopeless situation, but someone stepped in to help. Although nobody is really sure about the backstory of this little animal, it is thought that she may have been bitten by another dog. After...
How To Get Your Dog Used To The Vacuum
Nobody enjoys being frightened in real life, especially when it is something that is out of our control. We try to avoid those situations, but if they do occur, it may elicit what is known as the “fight or flight” response. In other words, our natural reaction is either going to be to fight or flee, and sometimes, it may be a little of both. Perhaps thinking of it from our own perspective can help us to be a little more understanding when we think about what our dogs go through when we pull out the vacuum cleaner. It may not be...
Science Has Revealed How Snakes Glide Through The Air
When you think of the snake, what is the first thing that comes to your mind? Aside from the fact that most of us would be heading in the opposite direction, we likely think about them slithering along the ground. This may make you wonder, how do some snakes seem to fly through the air? First of all, it’s important to recognize that a flying snake is not actually flying. When birds fly, they gain altitude as they do so but that isn’t the case with flying snakes. If you happen to be in a jungle in Southeast Asia, however, you might...

Marley’s Fight for Her Life
Marley is our 2 year old rescue from Mexico. She found us when she was 6 weeks old. She was very sick and alone. PHOTO: Emily The moment we saw her it was love at first sight. We treated all of her issues, brought her back up to Canada and she was a happy healthy pup up until a few weeks ago.

MRI’s and CT scans showed a mass in her upper sinus...
