28 May

By John Caspian

A freshly raked pile of leaves is just too tempting for any kid to resist jumping in – whether he’s got two legs or four! For Butch, an extremely happy Husky, he just couldn’t help himself. He had to dive in and play!

I could watch this furry ball of fun run around all day long, and never tire of watching him run around and dive headfirst into these huge piles of leaves. He has the greatest yard any pup could hope to have, and he’s using every single inch of it!

Have you ever seen a happier dog? Be sure to …read more

27 May

By Caroline Bayard

U.S. military combat dog Layka was shot four times by the enemy at point-blank range, while serving overseas in Afghanistan. It’s a true miracle this amazing hero is alive. There’s no doubt that she saved her handler, Staff Sgt. Julian McDonald and his comrades.

Despite her nearly terminal injuries, she still attacked and subdued the shooter, saving her handler and the other members of the team. Seven hours of surgery and the amputation of one leg saved her life. McDonald fought hard to adopt her and she’s now become a part of his family in her new forever home. Please SHARE …read more

I Can’t Stop Laughing At What This Dog Does! You Have To Hear!

27 May

By John Caspian

If there’s one thing Jessie the dog loves, it’s a soulful duet. And his favorite instrument to sing along to? The accordion, of course. (Because what dog doesn’t love a little bit of accordion music?) I always wonder why dogs like to howl along to things like certain instruments or babies crying – do they really think they’re singing along, or do they just want the sound to stop? This video makes it seem like Jessie is singing along – you can see his tail wagging!

These two should really take their act on the road. I could see them being …read more

This Family Called Their Dog Lazy, Until She Saved Their Lives. Amazing!

27 May

By Caroline Bayard

A family in West Des Moines, Iowa owe their lives to their tiny Shih Tzu dog after she woke them up in the middle of the night. The family would described her as timid, lazy and quiet… none of which you would say about a hero, but today, Daisy is just that!

A car in the family’s garage burst into flames in the middle of the night, when the family was fast asleep. Daisy barked until everyone in the house was awake and could make their way out of the house. She may be tiny, but this dog is …read more

While running on a frozen river, and without her owners in sight, this Golden Retriever fell through a sheet of thin ice and was unable to pull herself out. Just moments later, two heroic people came upon the frightened dog – and had they not stepped up and decided to do whatever they needed to do to rescue her, the dog surely would not have made it out alive. Instead, this brave man and woman formed a human chain, and crawled onto the ice – despite the fact it was cracking beneath. They were able to safely rescue the dog, …read more
