Cat Loves Greeting Delivery Drivers On Her Porch
When we think of animals interacting with delivery drivers, we usually think of dogs. There’s even a stereotype of a dog chasing a mailman, though some dogs really love mail people! It turns out, some cats love mail people as well, including a friendly white feline named Tuna. Tuna loves to greet delivery people and will wait on the front step as they approach. She does her best to get their attention and win some pets and praise, but it doesn’t always go as planned. Photo: Pixabay/lenalindell20 Some of the drivers aren’t so...

Lost Dog Reunites With Dad After More Than A Year Apart
When a sweet pitbull named Kodak went missing, his dad, Max Maxwell, searched for him for weeks. It seemed the two would never be reunited, but more than a year later, Kodak found his way home. Maxwell had all but given up hope of seeing Kodak again when the dog didn’t turn up weeks after going missing. Sadly, Maxwell was moving across the country to Los Angeles, California, making his chances of finding his dog even slimmer.

Energetic Great Dane Does “Dance” Every Morning To Wake Up
We all have our morning routines, and some are more involved than others. Some people like to roll out of bed and stumble to the coffee maker, while others start with yoga, journaling, or a shower. Pets can also have special morning routines, including a Great Dane in Norway named Django. The large dog lives with his owner, Mireille Gabrielli, and regularly goes out hiking and exploring. Every day may be different and full of surprises for Django, but one thing stays the same: His morning routine. Photo: flickr/Petful Every day, he wakes up...
Frankie’s Journey: Fleas to Fierce
Nov 20, 2021 It was a day like any other when a woman came into a local pet supply store and started talking to the staff. She was crippled with worry about a little kitten in her neighborhood that was the last one left from a litter of outdoor cats. You see, this kitten wasn’t like the others. He was severely malnourished and paralyzed in his lower half, unable to control his bladder and bowels, and left to fend for himself. The staff member went home to her girlfriend Cara, an avid animal rescuer, and told her the situation. They knew...

Rescue Cat Walks Girl To The Bus Stop Each Day
Most people who have cats get to enjoy their company on the cat’s terms. This usually means the cat demands pets and attention when they feel like it, and otherwise rules the house. Sometimes, however, a cat comes along that’s a little different than most. They might be more affectionate, more caring, or have some other unique trait that makes them special. For a rescue cat named Craig, his adoptive family realized just how special he was when their daughter started riding the bus earlier this year. Photo: Pexels/Laker It seems...
Dog Rescued From Woods Helps Owner Find Lost Pets

Thankfully, Graham was able to get her the help that she needed. Photo: Max Pixel Since then, the two have been inseparable. Willow recovered from her leg injuries and went on to...
The World’s Richest Dog Puts His Mansion On The Market For $32 Million
In 1992, eccentric German heiress Karlotta Liebenstein left her $150 million dollar trust to Gunther III, her beloved German Shepherd. Now, in 2021, that lineage has continued and Gunther VI, a pampered pooch who lives in the lap of luxury, is selling one of the trust’s many homes, for an eye-watering $31 million — or so the story goes. As widely reported by NPR, Forbes, and Today, the story is an over-the-top tale of the “world’s richest dog.” The only problem? It’s probably all a hoax. Photo:...
A Puppy And A Rescued Tortoise Become BFFs
We sometimes hear that birds of a feather flock together, but we realize that is not always the case. At times, we also need to make room for the fact that there are such things as “strange bedfellows” and they may show up at the strangest times. Perhaps that is seen best in the case of a little puppy who fell in love with a tortoise. It was love at first sight, and we can’t help but love it when we see it. It all started when a Sulcata Tortoise was found by the Humane Society of Los Angeles. Tilly G was in bad shape. He was...
What to Expect When You Switch to Feeding Fresh
You’ve decided to switch your pet from shelf-stable to fresh food – that’s great! If we had to guess, you too believe that the future of pet food looks a little something like this: recipes made with fresh, whole ingredients that are gently cooked without preservatives, and are kept in the fridge where meats belong. But what makes fresh food stand out from the rest? It all comes down to the positive physical and behavioral changes you’ll notice in your pet once you make the switch to fresh, healthy dog food. What...
Playful Dog Takes A Joy Ride In A Golf Cart
We often have security cameras on our property to keep an eye on what’s going on. We use them to ensure that nobody steals anything, but sometimes, they also capture something totally unexpected. That is the experience that Mallory Kmet and her husband had when they took a look at their security camera footage. It seems as if somebody had gone for a ride in their golf cart but it wasn’t anyone they would have ever expected. Photo: Pixabay/947051 It all started when Titan, their Mastiff, had a run-in with a skunk in the morning. He...

Police Called Over Break-In After Dog Pushes Home Door Open
While Luna’s owner was away at work, the clever pup managed to create what appeared to be a break-in and caused the cops to be called. The 95-pound pup can open the house doors by standing on her hind legs and pushing the handle down. When she’s let out for a potty break, she often just lets herself right back in! However, she’s not very good about shutting the door behind her. Photo: Pexels/Mithul Varshan One day, Luna let herself out to potty and she let herself back in the house on her own by opening the back door. No one...
Nurturing Pit Bull Takes Care Of Foster Animals
Some dogs have a natural nurturing side and they just want to care for those around them. It’s especially sweet when they get the chance to embrace their caring side and help others. For a pit bull named Bamse, he wasn’t sure what to think about caring for other animals at first. His owner, artist Dani Karlsson, was regularly bringing new rescue animals into the home as fosters and Bamse was timid and unsure. However, he soon realized that he loved caring for foster animals of all kinds and before long, he was looking after all of...
