Sweet Pit Bull Whines For Her Owner To Give Her Kisses
While the pit bull breed does not always get painted with the kindest brush, these dogs are much sweeter than anyone realizes. Pig is living proof of that! You won’t be able to believe your eyes when you see just how much she loves her humans. Of course, much like any dog, Pig is not shy when it comes to letting her humans know exactly how she feels about things.

Puppy Rushes Over To Join Siblings In An Adorable ‘Cuddle Puddle’
There is something about watching a dog frolic with all of its pals that makes our hearts swell with joy. In a world where it can feel like we are stuck in front of a fire hose that feeds us nothing but bad news, it is important to take in stories like this one. This is the story of a puppy and its siblings (and the amazing bond that all of them share). Have you ever heard of the concept of a “cuddle puddle”? If this is something new to you, don’t worry, it will all make sense very soon. Photo: flickr/simonpbriggs1975 This...
Guilty Dog Gets Caught Trying To Run Away From Home
Anyone who has a dog of their own can relate to certain things that they do. For example, our dogs always love to roam far away from home. That’s just how they roll, that’s how they do. You either accept it or you get annoyed when they decide to do it anyway. That’s what makes this story such a hilarious one (not to mention being easy to relate to). The dog in this story decided that they were going to run away from home and the reaction on both sides is priceless. Photo: Unsplash/Daniela Popescu Buster is this dog’s...
Two Neighborhood Dogs Befriend The Garbage Man
When most of us go on TikTok, we find ourselves endlessly scrolling through the videos. Perhaps we get to see some practical jokes, a few tips for the kitchen and maybe some people dancing. Every once in a while, we find something that really makes us stop and take notice, and that is what happened when two dogs and their mission were posted on that social platform. It seems as if Vizsla Ralph posted a video about her two dogs on the app recently and thousands of people have loved it. Photo: Pixabay/Moritz Bechert She regularly shares videos...
Two Day Old Kitten Needed A New Mom So A Doberman Stepped Up To The Plate
We sometimes hear about animals that care for young ones that aren’t their own. At times, they may even be part of a different species! All of them pale in comparison to what Ruby, a Doberman pinscher, did and it is sure to melt your heart. As a new Doberman pinscher mom, Ruby had plenty of puppies to take care of. It seems as if she had a heart big enough for at least one more. Photo: Pixabay/auenleben When her human mom, Brittany Callan, brought home a kitten named Ramblin’ Rose home, Ruby was ready for the job. The little...
Woman Saves Kitten’s Life By Calling An Uber
When most of us think about calling an Uber, we are thinking about getting from one place to another. Perhaps it is for work or maybe we are going out on a date. It’s a convenience that many of us appreciate, but it’s also a convenience that saved the life of a little kitten. Kylie Gross is a nurse who saw a kitten in trouble. The tiny feline was out in traffic, and she realized if she didn’t take action, something bad would happen. When she was able to go out to retrieve the kitten, she put her in the car and thought she...
Rescuers Save A Pit Bull Puppy Starving And Dying In The Gutter
Our hearts always go out to dogs that have suffered some type of difficulty. It is especially true when it happens to a little puppy who is not able to care for themselves. Recently, a little pit bull puppy was found abandoned in the gutter along the side of the road. At only nine months old, “Tig” was in sorry shape. He was suffering from hypothermia and was emaciated because nobody wanted to care for him. When they found Tig, they didn’t know if he would survive the night.

Dog Tries To Get Pets From Decorative Halloween Witch
Who doesn’t like making new friends? Okay, full disclosure, I probably don’t. I’m pretty happy with the four friends I’ve got, and as it stands, I spend the majority of my time at home anyways. But that’s because, as my lovely friends have pointed out, I’m like a human cat. Cats are notorious for being aloof and keeping to themselves. But not dogs. Dogs are the embodiment of friendliness and joy. Just go to any dog park and you’ll see a bunch of happy little pooches wandering around making friends...
Dog With Tumor On Her Tongue Saved From Life On The Streets
There is no friend more loyal than a dog. Anyone who has ever had the pleasure of having a canine companion knows just how sweet and loving they can be towards their person. They are the ones who don’t care at all how we look, how much money we have, etc. Our dogs are the definition of unconditional love, and it is this type of love that makes their company so special. It can also be heartbreaking to see a dog hurting after losing a cherished owner. Dogs don’t always understand why their owners have left. Photo: Pexels/Tudor One...
