Sweet Puppy Attempts To Win The Heart Of Disinterested Cat
Cats and dogs aren’t stereotypically friends, but in reality, they can be closer than family. Sometimes, cats and dogs will hit off a friendship immediately, but other times it just takes a little bit of time, patience, and persistence for the two to overcome their differences and become friends.

Dog Loves Getting His Teeth Brushed With Mom
Unless you start and are consistent when they’re a puppy, it can be tough to get a dog to brush his teeth. It’s something most pet owners should be doing and is often recommended by dentists, but it’s not usually something dogs enjoy or tolerate well. Photo: YouTube/ViralHog My dog absolutely despises getting his teeth brushed. He won’t bite or anything, but he curls his lips and snarls mid-brush. Thankfully, his little snarls actually make it easier to brush his teeth but he still doesn’t enjoy it. One unusual...
