Woman Jumps In River To Save Newborn Kittens Discarded In Plastic Bag
For most of us, we could never imagine doing anything to cause an animal physical pain. I’m sure there are many of us out there who feel absolutely mortified any time we’ve accidentally stepped on our pets’ paws. I remember accidentally stepping on my cat’s paw in high school, and it took me a whole two days to stop feeling bad about the accident. That is why it is so hard to wrap my mind around someone who is actively harming an animal – especially an animal that is still a little baby. Unfortunately, there are...
Man Catches “Ghost Dog” Playing In Back Yard On Security Camera
Halloween might be over, but scary stuff can still happen all the time, especially if you’re one to believe in the possibility of the paranormal. Or…scary stuff can still happen when there is a rational explanation for a ghost dog being caught on camera, right? Well, the jury is still out on this one. Is it a ghost dog or a malfunctioning security camera? You decide.

New E-Bike Makes Getting Around With Pets Safer
Being a pet parent is a wonderful feeling. No one will love you quite as wholeheartedly and unconditionally as your pet. But sometimes, we can’t always give them the giant home or yard that they deserve, especially if we live in an urban setting. Cities are oftentimes where the best opportunities are, so it makes sense that many people would choose to live in a sprawling urban metropolis rather than in the countryside or the suburbs. However, living in the city can sometimes come with some drawbacks, particularly if you’re a pet...
The Internet Loves This “Romeo & Juliet” Romance Between Two Golden Retrievers
When William Shakespeare wrote Romeo and Juliet, he was pulling from well-worn stories nearly a century older than him. The magic wasn’t in the familiar setup or the conflict, but his characterization of conflicted, star-crossed lovers whose romance defied the norms of their time. There was also a balcony involved or something, right? That seems to be the main source of inspiration for a series of TikToks showing the “Romeo and Juliet” romance between two Golden Retrievers in a luxury apartment complex, a tale that has...

Excited Terrier Can’t Wait To See Family On Thanksgiving
The holidays are an exciting time. It’s a time of year to be surrounded by family or friends, and sometimes, we get to see our loved ones that we haven’t seen in quite some time. In 2020, many people missed out on typical holiday celebrations due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We may have gathered together on Zoom or by phone instead of in-person, so this year might be the first time we’re getting to see some loved ones since the start of the pandemic! While we’re quite excited about that prospect, it seems our pets are as...

As part of fox ownership,...
Goat Demands To Be Let Inside The House With The Dogs
Don Pedro may be a goat, but he wants to be an indoor dog instead. To show his owners just how he was feeling, the 13+-year-old neutered male protested living outside by waiting right by the sliding door of the house! Pedro could see the dogs standing inside, just on the other side of the glass, and wanted to be in on the action. It wasn’t fair that the large, drooly dogs got to live inside and not him! Photo: YouTube/Sunflower Farm Creamery Photo: YouTube/Sunflower Farm Creamery In a video shared on YouTube of the goat’s efforts...
