Dog Can’t Curb His Enthusiasm When His Owner Started Filling Up His Paddling Pool
Another good boy has captured the attention of the internet, folks. Admittedly, I’m one of those people. This is Kai, and Kai doesn’t know how to handle himself when he is around water.

Baby Cheetah Needs A New Friend So The Cincinnati Zoo Adopts A Puppy
Most people tend to separate themselves into two different groups: cat people or dog people. Although there may be plenty of room in the middle, there does tend to be a separation.

This Dog Does Everything Her Mom Does
When it comes to the love we have for dogs, I think we each have our own reason why they hold such a special place in our hearts. In many cases, it’s just the simple fact that they are there for us, day after day and they are among the most loyal creatures on the face of the earth. The loyalty that a dog shows extends far beyond the fact that they greet us when we come home and sit by us when we are having a hard day. They also aim to please, and that fact is seen in a beautiful way with Ali. Photo: YouTube/The Dodo Ali was adopted by...

Like many dogs of her breed, she suffered at the hands of her owner, who was a hunter.
