Abandoned Puppy Tries To Follow New Puppy Home From The Park
We often don’t think of animals as being highly developed emotionally, but they’re actually much more emotionally intelligent than we give them credit. One perfect example is the little stray puppy that knew to stop a family out for a walk in order to ask for help. It all started when one family was taking an evening stroll at their local park in Ukraine. They were surprised when a seemingly abandoned puppy approached them.

Tiny Poodle Suffers “Worst Case Of Neglect” Until Help Arrives
I’ve never understood how someone can neglect an animal. If you cannot care for the animal, then why did you get it in the first place?

Dr. Karri from the Vet Ranch was the one who cared for the small poodle who was suffering from a horrible case of neglect. Photo: Pixabay/user698 The vet had...
A Very Grumpy Cat Meets Santa For The First Time
The other day I read something along the lines of plants are the new pets and pets are the new kids, and children are like exotic animals – you got to be a little rich and a little crazy to have them. And it’s so true. For many millennials my age, pets are replacing children because they’re far less expensive to maintain. You’ll never have to sweat saving for a college fund when you’ve got a cat instead! And with that comes the rise in more proud pet parents taking to social media to show off their fur babies....

20 Cities That Have The Most Dog Poop
Ever since we were young, we had an experience when we were running around outdoors. It happened if we had a dog nearby, and invariably, one of us would end up having to scrape the bottom of our shoe. It seems as if this is something that is universal when it comes to going for a walk outdoors. Then again, it may be a little more likely to happen in some areas than others. That is the interesting subject of a study performed by Protect My Paws, a pet insurance comparison site. Photo: flickr/artistmac In order to determine which cities had the...

Dog Saves Her Family From A Bear Attack
Dogs are incredible for so many reasons. One that has always resonated with me is that they give us their entire lives, while only being present for part of ours. Still, deep bonds can be made during that time. To get to the heart of the matter, one Reddit poster asked their fellow users an interesting hypothetical: “Would you cut of 5 years of your own life and give these to your dog? If so, why?” PHOTO: WIKIMEDIA COMMONS / Rinyknapen U/Experimentality had a worthy answer, detailing a time where his 15-year-old pup Daisy, an...
This Bernese Mountain Dog And Hamster Took Their Time Becoming Friends

Photo: flickr/StooMathiesen In the video, the pup (named San) moves his face away from the hamster, trying to dodge eye contact and...
