Puppy Wouldn’t Stop Barking So Older Dog Pushed Him Into The Pool
A new puppy got quite the surprise when an older dog got annoyed with his barking and pushed him into the pool. The incident occurred in the backyard of the owner’s home in Paris, Tennessee. The owner had brought a new puppy home to meet her cocker spaniel, Rue, and it didn’t go quite as planned. Rue is a bit older than the new puppy and wasn’t a big fan of the puppy’s insistent bark.

Horse Steals Camper’s Chips Right Off Her Plate
Camping is a summer staple for many families. It allows us to unplug, explore nature, and live a little more simply for a few days. I grew up camping each year and I have so many awesome memories with family and friends. More often than not, we were joined by a few uninvited visitors, like blue jays, squirrels, raccoons, plenty of bugs, and the occasional bear. However, in all the years I’ve been camping, I’ve never run into a horse at the campground. Apparently though, some horses enjoy camping as much as humans and this horse in...

Serious-Looking Cat Asks Owner For Treats
Animals are smarter than we give them credit for. Anyone who’s had cats probably knows just how clever they can be, but sometimes that cleverness goes a little bit further and appears almost human-like. That can be seen when cats use whatever they can to communicate their needs. Sometimes they meow or rub against our legs, but sometimes they use even more advanced tactics to tell us what they want. For a doll-faced Persian cat named Blake, he knows exactly how to get what he wants. Photo: Max Pixel Blake’s owner shared a video on...

Grand Teton National Park Temporarily Closes Busy Road For Ravenous Bears
Grizzly and black bears have been spotted on the side of a narrow, scenic road in Grand Teton National Park, so park rangers decided to temporarily close it. “The northern section of the Moose-Wilson Road, between Murie Ranch Junction and Death Canyon Junction, is temporary closed to all visitors including motorists, cyclists, and hikers,” states National Park Service (NPS). The bears are not there to welcome visitors but to devour the fresh berries along the road. Since it is impossible for people to keep the recommended 100 yard...
