Dog Plays Hide And Seek With His Owner But His Tail Gives Him Away
One of the best parts about having a dog is the fact that they love to play games.

Woman Rescues Puppies Abandoned At Popular Dumping Site
I can never see an animal stranded on the side of the road and not stop to help. If you’re an animal lover then you’re probably like me and it’s impossible to see an animal on the side of the road without wanting to stop and help. And that is precisely how Elisa felt while driving by a particular area of the road.

Coyote Or Dog? Woman Picks Up “Mystery Animal” In Need Of Help
The debate is still out: dog or coyote? Christina Eyth was asking herself the exact same question when she noticed that there was a sick animal in her backyard one day. The animal was hairless, so it was hard for her to tell if it was a dog or coyote, but what she did know was that it was a canine of some kind – and it desperately needed help. The woman lives in western Pennsylvania, and she discovered the animal by following its paw prints from the outside of her front door all the way to where it was hiding in her yard. Photo:...
Rescuers Use Drone To Find Stray Mama Dog And Puppies In Need Of Help
While dogs may have descended from wolves, that certainly doesn’t mean that they’re suited to life outside in the big, bad wilderness. They’re domesticated animals who deserve a loving home with people who care for them. Sadly, not all dogs find themselves in this position. Some are left abandoned to figure it out for themselves. Thankfully, there are caring and compassionate people out there who work in shelters and rescues, making it their mission to take in stray dogs. When a stray dog is spotted, there is always a push...
Dog Instantly Regrets Jumping Into The Snow
Do you remember that TV show “Arrested Development”? I was binging it the other day on Netflix and one of the character moments that has been living rent-free in my mind since is every time Gob messes up, he always says, “I’ve made a huge mistake” with this blank expression on his face. It’s something that I’m sure we can all relate to, given that most of us have had a moment or two of our own where we realize the gravity of our mistakes. And it isn’t just humans who often regret their life...

Strangers See A Sick Young Horse Abandoned In A Field And Step In To Help
You don’t always have to be an organized rescue group in order to do something amazing for animals. That was recently seen in Kent, England when a woman was walking her dog along a country road. As she walked along, she saw something that made her sad. It was a young horse who was obviously sick and was laying in the middle of a field. When she saw the horse, she called the RSPCA for help. An inspector for that organization, Rosie Russon, came out to see what was going on. She was also shocked when she saw the horse, Adie, and what type...
Hairless Puppy Looks Beautiful After A Makeover
Makeover videos are quite popular on the Internet. Often, they’ll show somebody who is taken in for a haircut and perhaps some makeup, and when they come out, they look like a new person. It seems as if that isn’t only true for humans, but even animals can have such a makeover, as you are about to see what happened at the Hoke County Animal Shelter in North Carolina. Kristi is a worker at the shelter who saw a little pit bull puppy that was out in the freezing cold. She knew that the dog had been abandoned so she brought her to...
