Abandoned Puppy Hiding In Drain Pipe Gets A New Lease On Life
No dog should ever be without a home. But the unfortunate reality is that there are lots of dogs in this world who are left to fend for themselves. Most heartbreaking is the fact that there are stray puppies out in the world that have never known love and kindness in their lives. They live very sad and desperate lives, trying to eke out an existence in a cold world. For one little puppy, the odds in life were already stacked against her as she started out her life on the streets. Photo: Pixabay/paul Williams It was not easy for the...
Dog Wakes Up To Bear Staring At Him In The Face
What is the scariest thing you’ve ever woken up to? For most of us, the worst thing we’ve ever woken up to is our alarm clocks on a Monday morning. Of course, there are some people who are parents who might report that the scariest thing they’ve woken up to is their young child staring at them while sleeping, but it still pales in comparison to being stared at by a bear while asleep. However, that is precisely the kind of fright that a dog got when waking up. Photo: Pixabay/SuicideOmen The peaceful pooch was completely...
Puppy With Broken Pelvis Rescued From Irrigation Canal
When I was in elementary school my mom and I found a little stray dog in the park who’d been hit by a car that resulted in pretty bad damage. I remember the poor thing had been dragging both legs behind him and his little feet were worn raw. Sadly, the vet said the kindest thing that could be done for him was to put him to sleep. Sometimes life can deal you a pretty rough hand. That was the case for a small dog who found himself stuck inside an irrigation canal.

Blind Dog Used As ‘Target Practice’ Dedicates Life To Helping Others
Maggie is a therapy dog who has had quite a life. While she might have a wonderful life full of love, she didn’t start out like that. She had suffered unimaginable horrors for years in Lebanon, where she was used as “target practice.” Eventually, all that abuse left her blind and missing an ear, as well as with a broken jaw. It was absolutely terrible. Photo: Pixabay/David Will According to 7News, her owner, Kasey Carlin, put the horrific situation into words, sharing with Today, “They used a BB gun and used her as...
Great Dane Comforts Foster Brother Struggling With Anxiety
It always amazes me how big a difference a little love can make in someone’s life. This includes animals as well. Many rescue animals have never known love in their lives. As a result, they are scared and timid animals who seem to have no hope for the future. But when they are rescued, they can grow to be much more confident and happy – a perfect testament to how much someone’s love can make a difference in their lives. A perfect example of this features a Great Dane named Yeti (formerly Tofu). Photo: Pixabay/Pexels The big...
Roomba Claims That It’s New Vacuum Won’t Drag Dog Poop Around In Circles
If you’ve ever owned a Roomba, you’ve probably come home to see it in an amusing situation. Maybe it tumbled over the stairs, maybe it died moments before reaching its charging base. And maybe, if you’re a pet owner whose dog isn’t fully house trained, you’ve walked in on something a lot less amusing. There’s a common phrase that both accurately describes this issue and also means “things take a sudden turn for the worse,” but I’m not allowed to put it in print. Suffice it to say, this...
Kindness Ranch Animal Sanctuary Rescues Over 100 Beagles From Research Lab In Texas

Terminally Ill ‘Flamingo Lady’ Gets Emotional After Dying Wish Comes True
For the past 50 years, 75-year-old Peggy Garrison has been in love with flamingos, and is now known as “Flamingo Lady.” “When I saw them fly, I just thought they were so beautiful,” she told Fox 7. Photo: YouTube/USA Today It all started when she saw flamingo yard decor at her friend’s house. She then began collecting flamingo items herself, and her collection quickly grew to 158 collectibles. Sadly, Garrison went under hospice as she battled cancer, but the San Antonio Zoo was able to put a smile on her face and...
