Surrendered Dog Waits By Shelter Door For Family To Return
Dogs only know one way to love and that is unconditionally. They also would never leave their family – if it was up to them. Sadly, many dogs are abandoned by their families due to no fault of their own. A sweet Australian shepherd named Cubby was surrendered to Noah Project, a no-kill animal shelter in Michigan, when his family could no longer care for him. His heartbreaking reaction was captured on video and shared on the shelter’s TikTok page. Cubby never took his eyes off the door and patiently waited for his family to come...

It should probably come as no surprise. As humans, we’ve found safety in numbers and managed to flourish in communities. Going it alone can be tough.

Family Puts Child Lock On Microwave To Prevent Rescue Cat From Stealing Food
When you have a cat in your family, you want them to be happy and healthy. We do our best to give the cat everything they could need, and at times, this may even mean doing something that is “for their own good.” Having a cat means you sometimes must take the good with the bad. Some cats can be cranky, and others can do things that run against the grain. Photo: YouTube/ViralHog One thing is sure, cats have a mind of their own, and they don’t mind walking down the wrong path. That is what happened with Bentley. According to...
