Couple Drive Hours To Save Senior Dog Being Given Away On Facebook
It’s tough being a stray dog in a shelter, waiting to get adopted. That hardship is only exacerbated by age. The sad reality is so many people want young dogs or puppies.

According to The Dodo, there was one senior beagle who was being given away for free on Facebook, who desperately needed a new home.

St. Bernard Floods The Yard While Having Fun In The Pool
Dogs might be man’s best friend, but that doesn’t mean that they don’t have their occasional slip-ups. Yes, dogs are pretty perfect in that they love us unconditionally, are always there for us, and are just so pure and joyful all the time. But they can sometimes also get into a bit of mischief – especially when no one is watching. Or, at least when they think that no one is watching them.

Toddler Covers Her Dogs With Bright Stickers
Kids and stickers are a dangerous combination. If you give a kid a sheet of stickers, you might come to regret that decision later as they tend to go crazy with decorating every surface they can find. Even if you tell a kid to only stick to paper for their creative endeavors, you might not get the results you were hoping for. In fact, when I was a kid, my mom gave me some Winnie the Pooh-themed stickers and a large packet of construction paper. Let’s just say that the paper packet stayed intact and I ended up going ham and placing...
