20 Cities That Have The Most Dog Poop
Ever since we were young, we had an experience when we were running around outdoors. It happened if we had a dog nearby, and invariably, one of us would end up having to scrape the bottom of our shoe. It seems as if this is something that is universal when it comes to going for a walk outdoors. Then again, it may be a little more likely to happen in some areas than others. That is the interesting subject of a study performed by Protect My Paws, a pet insurance comparison site. Photo: flickr/artistmac In order to determine which cities had the...

Dog Saves Her Family From A Bear Attack
Dogs are incredible for so many reasons. One that has always resonated with me is that they give us their entire lives, while only being present for part of ours. Still, deep bonds can be made during that time. To get to the heart of the matter, one Reddit poster asked their fellow users an interesting hypothetical: “Would you cut of 5 years of your own life and give these to your dog? If so, why?” PHOTO: WIKIMEDIA COMMONS / Rinyknapen U/Experimentality had a worthy answer, detailing a time where his 15-year-old pup Daisy, an...
This Bernese Mountain Dog And Hamster Took Their Time Becoming Friends
Sometimes, friendships are instant — a spark that just lights between two people (or animals!). Other times, these relationships take time to grow. First impressions aren’t everything, after all! Still, one first meeting between a Bernese Mountain Dog and a friend’s pet hamster is making the rounds because it is just so funny. Clearly, this pup is not excited about meeting a new furry friend! Photo: flickr/StooMathiesen In the video, the pup (named San) moves his face away from the hamster, trying to dodge eye contact and...
Watch This Cute Pet Rat Get Woken From A Nap By An Almond Treat
We all know the saying “let sleeping dogs lie,” but what about rats? Well, fortunately, we have the answer now thanks to an adorable video.

3 Little Pigs Were Stuck In A Flood But Help Was On The Way
When we think about three little pigs, our thoughts automatically go to the fairytale where they are being chased by the big bad wolf. They hide in their homes and are more than happy to be safe and sound, especially when they get to the brick house. Things don’t always work out quite so nicely for pigs in the real world but in Norfolk, Virginia, there is a group of pigs that managed to survive the worst. Photo: Pixabay/Igor Schubin It seems as if the pigs were being visited on a regular basis by PETA so they could get clean straw and...
Dogs Spend 18 Months Apart And Are Excited To See Each Other Again
Most of us have missed out on at least a little face-to-face time with our friends due to the pandemic. It seems as if we aren’t the only ones, and even our dogs may have missed out on an opportunity as well. Buck and Trinity are two dogs that loved hanging out with each other. They would regularly go to a doggy daycare and boarding facility and play with each other for hours on end, like in the TikTok video below: @tarazapp This is Buck and Trinity in camp playing before we had to shut down because of Covid.#malamute #alaskanmalamute...
Watch The Dog Food Commercial From 1981 That Starred Tom Waits
There are some people who are known for their distinctive voice and it becomes a trademark. Included in that list of individuals are many heavy hitters, such as Morgan Freeman and Samuel L Jackson.

He is primarily known because of his jazz and blues music but in 1981, he decided to do something different and did the voiceover for a dog food commercial.

Parrot Repeats Tweety Bird’s Line When He Sees A “Puddy Tat”
I’m not much of a bird person. My aunt had a cockatiel bird that used to scare me whenever I visited. Apparently, the bird liked me, but the feeling wasn’t mutual. I don’t know why, I just don’t like birds as pets. They seem a little shifty. But, there is no denying that they can be pretty clever and it’s cool to see some of the neat tricks they can be taught. Like parrots – for example – can be taught to speak. Years ago, we had a neighbor on the other side of the alley who had a parrot. We’re...
