Dog Rescued From Woods Helps Owner Find Lost Pets
Willow’s situation was looking bleak when Graham Whatmough stumbled upon her in the woods. Graham is used to going on hikes and exploring new areas. While foraging off-path one day, he came upon the dog who’d seemingly been dumped – Willow. She was suffering from two broken legs and she likely wouldn’t have survived for long without help. 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

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...
