Watch As Hundreds Of Dolphins Swim Together In A ‘Superpod’
If we go to the ocean, it’s always going to be a good day. We stand with our feet in the water and watch the sunrise or sunset, or perhaps we just marvel at the beauty in front of us. Every day is a good day at the beach, but if we manage to see a dolphin, it is a day worth remembering. Back in 2018, beachgoers near Monterey, California were treated to a site that very few people have ever seen. It was a “superpod” of hundreds of dolphins that were swimming just off the coast. The onlookers were able to take videos, so all...
Someone Posted An Obituary In Their Local Paper For Their Pet Chicken
When we have an animal in our household, they are more than a pet, they are a member of the family. Perhaps our minds will first go to a dog or a cat when we think about household pets, but that is only if you’ve never had a chicken. Quite honestly, chickens are amazing birds and they have personalities that rival those of any standard family pet. They are beloved by any family who has one in their home, including this family in Texas. When their 6-month-old Rhode Island Red named Big Mama died, they decided to pull out all the stops...

Puppy Gets Sweet Relief And Shows Some Love To Her Rescuer
It’s always sad when we hear about a dog that was abandoned or mistreated. We may hear about these things occasionally, but for rescuers at the Stray Rescue of St. Louis, these stories are a regular occurrence. Back in October, the rescue received a phone call from someone who was concerned about a puppy hiding in a junk pile. Neighbors in the area would pile up their junk and anything they didn’t want, and the puppy was using it as a home base. Unfortunately, somebody discarded this little puppy as unwanted.

Little Dog Gets The Most Amazing Sled Ride From His BFF
There is something about watching young children playing with the dogs they love. It’s a relationship that builds up very quickly and is one that will last for a lifetime. Of course, it helps if there is some snow on the ground and a sled is involved. That is exactly what we saw when Andrei, a 12-year-old boy from Romania, decided to take his dog out for a sled ride.
