The bond created between rescue animals and their saviors is like no other. The sweet creatures are aware someone is there to give them second chance for life and they never fail to express their gratitude the best they can.
Such is the case with the 4-month-old puppy named Sanie who would end up butchered if it wasn’t for Michael Chour, the founder of The Sound of Animals.
When he visited that dog meat farm in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, he did his best to save as many dogs as possible, and that’s when he noticed poor Sanie who was caged and terrified.
“When I got out of the cage, she was still terrified, and she was looking at the butcher,” Chour told the Dodo. “But after I turned my back to him, she pushed herself against me, and put her head under mine.”
“She hugged me and didn’t stop,” Chour continued. “When I took her to the vet clinic and tried to put her on the floor, she still didn’t let go.”
From the way Sanie behaved, Chour assumed she wasn’t a stray dog before she ended at that horrific place, but was likely stolen from her owners.
Finding her original family isn’t easy, so Sanie will likely end with other humans who would keep close eye on her and give her all the love she needs.
Many of the dogs saved by Chour are adopted by families from Europe. As for Sanie, until her new humans come along, she will reside at the Blue Dream shelter.
When the owner of the sweet Labrador named Jack Daniel noticed a strange lump behind the dog’s ear, he rushed him to the hospital hoping it wasn’t anything serious. The dog, however, had to undergo a surgery in order for that lump to be removed.
The good thing was that the procedure went all well and Jack Daniel recovered in no time, but the thing was that he hadn’t been separated from his human daddy before and it was sort of scary experience.
Now the video of the reunion after the surgery between these best pals is everywhere and people are losing their mind over it. We are sure you’re going to love it, too.
The moment Jack Daniel spotted his favorite human, he rushed into his arms and wouldn’t let go. His paws got wrapped around the man’s neck and his tiny eyes had sparkles in them. It felt as though everything came to its place once he was around daddy again.
The footage was taken in Chennai, Eastern India, and everyone agrees how this is what true love looks like. This man really knows how to comfort his furry companion and it makes us grab the tissues.
We are glad Jack Daniel is doing amazingly, and we are sure the tiny scar beneath his ear wouldn’t bother him that much.
People are taking their time to comment and we can’t agree more with each of their thoughts on this overly cute video.
“This is absolutely lovely. This dog and owner are certainly lucky to have this kind of love for each other,” one Facebook user said about their emotional reunion.
“This is, by far, THE sweetest thing I have seen on the internet in ages. I hope the puppers is feeling better very soon,” commented another.
“Poor baby!!!! They sure love each other! Hope the little guy is doing better. Looks like such a great dog.”
The video is emotional and overwhelming, and it’s definitely a must see.
Please share it with a dog owner to remind them how lucky they are for having one in their life.
Imagine walking in the kitchen and seeing your little daughter standing on the counter. That must be terrifying, right? When mom of two, Paola Teran of Buford, Georgia, encountered such a sight, she knew something great was about to happen. Why? Because it was the girl’s father who put her there, and the two were getting ready to rock and make the family laugh and enjoy some crazy dancing routine; one that only a father and a daughter can pull off.
The duo chose Salsa music for their cute performance and started moving to the vibrant rhythm. They wouldn’t stop shaking their hips and laughing, so Paola though the dancing should be filmed and later shared on her Instagram. Needless to say, it went viral in the blink of an eye.
Sweet Emma is wearing her Minnie Mouse pajamas, and showing her amazing dancing skills is a great exercise before going to bed.
It’s obvious she loves bonding with her daddy as the two make great dancing partners.
“I’m a #princess not because I have a prince, but because my father is a #king!” Paola wrote this caption along with the video of her husband and daughter and it melted the hearts of the hundreds of thousands of people who’ve seen it.
The days of the Teran family are filled with joy and laughter because they know how to have fun.
Take a look at the cute performance in the video below.
Officers Adkins and Hiller from Arlington, Texas, showed once again that members of the police forces are always ready to go an extra mile for the well-being of the members of the community. No matter if a human or an animal is in need of help, these two officers never hesitate to step in.
As they were getting out of the local TJ Maxx store after responding to a shoplifting call, an elderly lady was persistent for them to approach her car. She then told them how she could hear meowing coming from under the vehicle’s tires and asked them if they could pull the kittens out of there.
The officers were more than happy to help, and only a couple of minutes later, the kittens emerged.
“They located the kittens inside the bumper where most likely the mother cat had placed them for some reason,” Jesse Minton of the Arlington Police Department told The Dodo.
Neither the officers nor the lady knew how the sweet babies managed to get into the bumper. At first, they though they probably got lost so they tried to locate their mother, but after they failed spotting any cats nearby, they assumed the kittens could be abandoned and placed there on purpose. Or, they were simply looking for a safe place to hide from humans.
After the successful rescue, the lady informed the officers how she had no plan of adopting any of the cats. And honestly, she didn’t even need to as officer Adkins fell in love with them the moment he took them in his hands.
Once in officer Adkins’ car, the babies felt they were safe and did something amazing as a thank you to the man who saved their life. They started climbing on him and didn’t plan on leaving his side.
After the police department shared the photo of the officer with the tiny kittens clinging on him, people agreed how it was the sweetest thing they’ve ever seen. Many took their time to thank this kind-hearted man for taking the babies to a safe place and hundreds of others shared the photo.
Arlington Police Department asked, “Who says Firefighters are the only ones who rescue kittens?”
After the medical check-up, the vet informed the department how the kittens were in a great health condition.
The best thing of all is that both rescue animals got adopted. You are already guessing, right? Officer Adkins knew he was the right person to take them in and give them a loving forever home.
This amazing man who won the South District Officer of the Year Award back in February, showed everyone that he deserved it. As for the kitties, he named them TJ and Max.
Losing a family member and a friend is always very sad. So, when officer Charlie Kondak from Tarpon Springs, Florida, lost his life while on duty, it left everyone who knew him heartbroken. People describe him as a humble and kind-hearted man who was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need of help.
He’d been working in the service of the people of his community for more than 20 years.
Officer Kondak was a loving husband and a father of six. Unfortunately, his kids were now left without their greatest support in life and the family had to learn how to live without the man they all loved and missed so very much.
Kondak’s fellow colleagues received the news of his passing with sorrow and disbelief and vowed to always be there for his children. And now, as the late officer’s oldest daughter Aleena was graduating from high school, the cops kept their promise.
With Aleena’s special day just around the corner, her father’s co-workers knew she was going to feel sad and miss her daddy so much, so they decided to step in and be there by her side.
As she was getting off the bus with her prom date, all dressed up, she couldn’t believe her eyes. The cops didn’t forget about her and reminded her once again that they will be there for her and her siblings whenever they need them. They felt like they owed that to Kondak.
Two years passed after the sudden and tragic death of the 45-year-old officer, and everyone missed him every single day. They all agree how his vibrant personality and his smiling face were truly one-of-a-kind. However, his kids are there to continue his legacy and always be there for other people in need of help.
The cops formed a line of cars in front of Aleena and then got out of the vehicles and gave her loud applause. They told her they were very proud of her, and were certain her daddy would have been too.
They gave her a bouquet of flowers and took some pictures and escorted to prom.
Major Jeff Young said, “we were sad because we had to be here, honored because we can be here.”
All this meant so much for the girl who lost her father. Neither she nor the cops could contain the tears. It was all so touching and emotional.
Allena Kondak said, “They always say ‘never forgotten.’ And I totally believe that because every day, they’re all texting me how are you doing. And they step in with things that my dad did. And they’re amazing. I love each and every one of them.”
Seeing what the officers from the Tarpon Springs did for their late buddy is amazing. He can rest in peace knowing his children and wife are taken great care of by the people who respected him his whole life.
As for Aleena, she knew her father was watching her from heaven.
These officers are such a positive example of how things should really be done.
Take a look at the whole story in the video below.
What would be your first instinct if you see a drowning animal? Would you step in to help? We know what this brave man did when he spotted a baby deer fighting for its life, and we have to say, it’s pretty impressive.
That day, Marc Headon, a painter and a decorator from Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, was off the job due to the bad weather and the heavy rain.
As he and his friend Jamie Toyne were driving, something unusual caught their attention. They could spot something moving in the canal and decided to pull off and take a closer look.
“I was driving to pick up my daughter when something caught mine and Jamie’s eye in the canal,” the 27-year-old told LADbible. “I thought it was a fish as we do a lot of fishing, then we realized it was a deer.”
The courageous man didn’t hesitate even a bit before he took his pants off and jumped into the freezing water wearing his boxers only. He braved the weather and the only thing on his mind was to take the drowning deer to safety.
“Jamie helped me get the deer out and helped me out. I carried it to the top of the bank, where we wrapped it in blankets and tried to calm it and keep it warm, as it was near a busy road,” he said.
Luckily, Jamie could catch the rescue on his phone. He later shared it on Facebook and thousands of people commented and shared it.
Along with the video, Jamie wrote this caption:
“Just driving past the canal in Saxilby and saw some ears in the water. We got out and saw it was a baby deer struggling to keep its head up. It was seconds away from drowning, must have been in there for hours. Marc jumped straight in and saved it.”
Of course, he wasn’t only busy filming the action but offered help too.
As the two buddies were waiting for the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust to come and take care of the baby deer, they wrapped it with blankets and kept it warm.
Isn’t that the sweetest thing to do?
“We took it to a friend’s nearby, where we fed and watered it, waiting for it to come round,” Marc said.
We all have to agree that this is one of those rescues we don’t get to see every day. It takes courage and love for the animals to do such act.
Every now and then, someone really special takes the stage of our favorite show, America’s Got Talent, and leaves us speechless. This time, it was the 22-year-old Kodi Lee. He’s both blind and autistic, but that never stood on his path of practicing music and showing the world how talented he really is.
His mother Tina was by his side on that special evening when he got to sing in front of the panel of judges and the audience who was eagerly waiting to hear what he had to offer.
Tina said how her son showed love for the music ever since he was just a little boy and she knew he would turn into an amazing entertainer one day. Well, she was right, as her boy really is one of a kind.
“We found out that he loved music really early on,” she said. “He listened and his eyes just went huge. And he started singing, and that’s when I was in tears, because I realized he is an entertainer.”
“Through music and performing, he was able to withstand living in this world, because when you’re autistic, it’s really hard to do what everybody else does.”
“It has actually saved his life, playing music,” Tina added.
Kodi was born with optic nerve hypoplasia and had to undergo a life-saving surgery when he was just a five-day-old baby. He really didn’t have it easy while growing up, but music was there to remind him of the good things in life.
His official site states, “Born with optic nerve hypoplasia, surviving a life-saving surgery at five days old, and being diagnosed with autism at an early age has never stopped Kodi from reaching for his dreams.”
His dream is to be a rock star one day, and we believe he’s on the right track of accomplishing that.
What this amazing man has to offer is astounding.
Before he sat down at the piano, his mother gave him a quick pep talk and he was ready to shine.
He chose to perform rendition of Leon Russell’s ‘A Song For You’ and it sounded absolutely breathtaking, leaving both the judges and the audience cheering. Kodi’s voice resembled an angelic sound.
After his 40-second-long performance, everyone was wiping their tears away. It was both sensational and spine-tingling.
We all agree that Kodi is a real star in the making.
‘I can’t stop crying!’ Julianne admitted, while Howie told Kodi: ‘I will tell you that all four judges and everybody in this room were up on their feet. You were wonderful.
Dogs are like little children. They like to be loved and hugged, and they definitely enjoy goofing around with their human families and their four-legged palls. Despite all this, there is something else sweet Leo loves, and that’s his favorite toy, a brown stuffed animal.
“It is his favorite toy,” Hayley Alaxanian, Leo’s owner, told The Dodo.
However, just recently, the poor toy suffered a terrible injury as Leo somehow made a hole in its stomach. This meant the stuffed animal had to undergo ‘an emergency surgery’ so that his tummy could be sewed back.
“[My dad] took the toy away from him and put it away so he couldn’t reach it, but he was crying and trying to reach for it,” Alaxanian said. “That’s when my dad decided to get his sewing kit out and started sewing it back together.”
Leo seemed to be worried sick for his stuffed friend’s well-being. He’s such a caring boy.
Thankfully, Alaxanian’s dad nailed it at using a needle and a thread, although it was the first time that he tried sewing a toy together.
Seeing it repaired was a huge relief for everyone in the family, especially Leo who was looking forward to playing with his pal again.
“That is the first time I’ve seen him sew a dog toy together,” Alaxanian said.
We hope Leo will be more careful the next time he’s around his plush toy. But in case he rips any part of the stuffed animal’s body, Alaxanian’s daddy will be there to fix things. After all, he loves Leo to the moon and back and there’s nothing he wouldn’t do to see him happy.
