Stray Dog Undertakes a Mission of Rescuing a Tied Up Pup

This story is probably one of the most amazing stories you’ve heard and seen recently. It speaks of dogs’ solidarity and proves yet once again that our four legged pals are indeed compassionate creatures.

A guy named Dmitriy Timchenko and his friend were entering a store at the Russian city of Novorossiysk when they witnessed an incredible sight. In front of the place there was a tied pit bull pup waiting for his owner to finish the shopping for the day. One stray dog, however, assumed the pup was abandoned and rushed to rescue him.

“I’ve seen this stray dog around town many times,” Timchenko said speaking to The Dodo. “He always uses the crosswalk to cross the street. He’s a very smart dog.”

They saw the stray approaching the tied pup and waited to see what will happen. It was then when the stray started untying the leash trying to set the pit bull free.

Once he managed to do so, the two new friends were about to embark on an adventure.

You can see the incredible ‘rescue’ in the video below.

Realizing the dog may get lost, Timchenko and his friend rushed into the store and looked for the owner. If they didn’t do so, the pit bull would certainly get lost.

“We went into the store and called the owner on the loudspeaker,” Timchenko said. “She came outside to get her dog.”

Although the pit bull didn’t really need to be rescued, this still shows how courageous and sympathetic that stray dog was.

We do hope someone kind would recognize the goodness this dog carries inside and would welcome him into their home. After all, who wouldn’t want a companion like him?

Ingenious Grandmother Solves Her Street’s Speeding Problems

The residents at this grandmother’s neighborhood are now at ease as she managed to solve the problem of drivers speeding around the place in a very clever way.

Knowing that neither her four grandchildren, nor the rest of the kids were safe, she came up with the idea of holding a hair dryer fooling the drivers into believing it’s a speed gun.

Believe it or not, this did magic and now everyone is making sure they don’t drive over the limit.

Jean Brooks really is one hell of a grandma as she would stop at nothing to make sure the neighborhood is a safe place.

“The problem with the traffic was that it was mental, kids with what I like to call sewing machines on wheels or quad bikes and mothers were driving at around 50 or 60 mph because they were late to school,” Jean said.

Her neighbors are very grateful for her dedication to put ‘law and order’ into action.

Judge Teaches Animal Abusers Lesson by Punishing Them in Creative and Unique Ways

We, as humans, should be well aware of the consequences our acts bring. Still, we do bad things and hurt others, although we know it would put us in big trouble. Luckily, no deed goes unpunished and this judge from Painesville, Ohio, named Mike Cicconetti knows just the perfect way to punish those who treat animals in a bad manner.

His creative and sort of unusual methods made him a real celebrity in the community. Needless to say, he’s got all the support from his fellow Ohioans doing so.

Cicconetti is a huge animal lover and gets really mad and disappointed when a case of animal abuse or neglect comes along his way at the courtroom. What he does with such cases is give the doers of the crime punishments similar to what they did to the poor souls.

This way, he makes the wrongdoers go through the same discomfort they created at the animals. He believes that this is the only way for the cruel people to really understand how the animals felt when they abused them, neglected them, or dumped them.

“A judge can simply follow the law and if somebody committed the crime, here are the possible penalties,” Cicconetti told ABC News“Nightline.” “How much of that do I impose? Sure, you can do that and you go home and you can rest easy. Or you can take each case a little more personal and still apply that same law.”

When a woman was brought at the courtroom for dumping 35 kittens in the woods, judge Cicconetti gave her two options. Either to serve full jail time or reduce it by spending a night at the woods herself. She was so embarrassed of her action that she did accept to go into the woods and see how the poor kittens must have felt like when she ditched them there.

You have to agree this is a great way of teaching wrongdoers a lesson.

As he addressed the guilty woman, he asked her, “How would you like to be dumped off at a metro park late at night, spend the night listening to the coyotes … listening to the raccoons around you in the dark night, and sit out there in the cold not knowing where you’re going to get your next meal, not knowing when you are going to be rescued?”

Another woman was charged and found guilty of neglecting her dog by keeping him in filth. Now if she wanted to reduce her jail time, judge Cicconetti gave her an offer she ‘couldn’t refuse’, although it meant spending eight hours at the filthiest county dump.

Addressing the woman, he told her, “I want you to go down to the county dump, to the landfill, and I want them to find the stinkiest, smelliest, God-awful odor place they can find in that dump and I want you to sit there for eight hours tomorrow, to think about what you did to that dog while you smell the odor. If you puke, you puke.”

Does this way of sentencing animal abusers work? Yes, it does magic actually as the repeat offender rate for people who end up at Judge Cicconetti’s courtroom is only 10 percent compared to the 75 percent in other courts.

This amazing judge is to retire this years and we really hope someone as special would take his place and continue giving creative sentences.

You can take a look at Judge Cicconetti’s amazing work in the video below.

Two Dogs Stranded In Sewer Wouldn’t Stop Crying Until Someone Heard Their Call for Help

The life of the stray animals isn’t easy at all. Not only these helpless creatures struggle to fend for themselves, but they are also many times afraid of the humans who treat them with disrespect.

Unfortunately, finding shelter to hide is another obstacle many of them face. Probably in an attempt to rest from the street life, two dogs ended up stranded in a sewer. The animals were aware they were in trouble and knew that the only way to survive was for someone to get them out of that place.

They started barking and howling hoping someone kind would hear their cries for help. Luckily, that’s exactly what happened.

It was teenagers Citlaly Rodriguez and Isaac Barajas who spotted the trapped dogs. They were aware something had to be done as soon as possible so they alerted Hope for Paws of what they stumbled upon. And as it turned out it was just the right thing to do as this organization has helped thousands of animals in need of help before.

Edgar and Loreta from Hope for Paws came at the scene at no time and were determined to get the dogs out. They approached very slowly and carefully because they didn’t want to further scare the already frightened souls.

But, the dogs knew these people were there to help and collaborated.

The teenagers stayed at the scene and offered their help to the rescuers and only left when they were sure the dogs were completely safe. “When Loreta and I arrived, we worked with these two awesome kids and together we completed this rescue mission,” Edgar said.

The dogs were brought at the organization’s shelter and were offered medical help and a nice bath. The staff named them Winn and Dixie and all they needed to do next was to find them a nice and loving home.

Although the assumptions were that Winn and Dixie were probably strays, they were still inspected for microchips. Since they didn’t have any, the rescuers could only make guesses whether they got stuck in the sewer by themselves or someone dumped them there. But, one thing was for sure, that Winn and Dixie were best of friends.

Once they recovered from the ordeal, both Winn and Dixie were transferred to another local organization, Wags and Walks. Thankfully, the staff at this organization managed to find them a forever home. What’s most, they weren’t separated but were adopted together by a family that loves them very much.

German Shepherd hears owner singing and decides to join in

What would life be like without dogs? Honestly, I can never imagine not having my furry pal around. He makes my days and brings a ray of sunshine whenever he senses I feel blue.

Dogs are just awesome, and whoever owns one is probably nodding their head in agreement right now.

But, no matter how much you believe your dog is the best out there and has plenty of hidden talents and skills, it’s pretty hard to beat this singing German Shepherd named Maximus.

Apparently, his owner noticed that Maximus reacts to music in an interesting way; by joining in and singing himself. So, he decided to catch him on a video by offering a loud performance from under the shower and waiting for his dog to react in the usual way.

The addictive melody of Edward Khil’s “Trololol” fills the air in the house and that’s when the most amazing thing happens. Maximus starts singing along and it’s incredible to watch and listen to.

We do enjoy this duo very much. Pretty much like the rest of the people who’ve seen it and shared it. Yes, there are also those who believe Mximus isn’t in fact singing, but saying ‘nooooooo’ to his owner.

I guess you’ll have to watch the video and decide it for yourself. Enjoy!

Couple Sees Photo of the Saddest Dog and Adopts Him Despite the Warnings From Shelter

When you adopt a dog you don’t only get yourself a pet, but you are helping for someone’s destiny and life to change for the better. Because no matter if we want to accept it or not, most of the animals that end up at shelters didn’t have it easy in life and faced many traumas. Some were neglected and abandoned by careless owners and others were taken off the streets.

So, the next time you consider welcoming a dog, always consider adoption over purchase.

When a woman named Jessica Williams and her boyfriend, Jared, moved to their new apartment, the only thing missing was a dog. She knew getting one would be a birthday present for her but she just couldn’t wait until November and decided to look online and find the perfect furry pal for her and her partner.

As she was listing the photos of various shelter dogs, she stumbled upon the picture of Benji. According to the shelter’s page, Benji was a stray taken off the streets of L.A. and was apparently not a friendly dog.

But, despite this description of him, Jessica somehow felt he could be the right dog for her.

Jessica told Jared how she wanted to see that dog in person because she was aware that these kind of not so much loving and friendly dogs are likely to be put down and she wanted to give him a chance.

After a six-hour drive from Sacramento to L.A. they were finally there. The moment they laid eyes on Benji, Jessica’s and Jared’s hearts broke. The poor pup was in such terrible condition that it wasn’t unusual he tried to bite everyone around the place.

Speaking of her decision to adopt Benji, Jessica told The Dodo:

“I had never seen a sadder dog and knew we couldn’t leave him there.”

The shelter’s staff telling her she shouldn’t even consider meeting that angry dog only made Jessica more determined to take him in and give him a loving home. Because it was obvious it was all that dog needed; to be loved!

Benji’s fur was falling off as he had severe flea allergy. His snarls and snaps made it impossible for visitors to get closer to him.

Jessica knew no one would ever want to adopt him, and if it wasn’t for her and Jared he would have certainly died there.

Traveling back home with Benji was a difficult task as he was very wary of his human family. Well, he wasn’t even aware they were going to be his mom and dad.

Once home, Benji turned into a completely new dog. He gets to enjoy the luxuries his family offers and has a bunch of toys he loves playing with.

Running around Jessica and Jared is what he enjoys the most and he doesn’t want to leave his saviors’ side.

And yes, he now loves driving around and barks in excitement the moment he enters the car.

“He will also start barking the second we get in the car as if to say, ‘We have to start moving! Let’s go!’” Jessica says.

She knew Benji was the one the moment she saw him on her computer screen and she made the perfect choice. She saved a life and made hers and her husband’s more exciting. What Benji brought in their everyday is happiness and laughter.

Lamb Finds in a Dog the Mother He Never Had

Life is a journey filled with ups and downs, and things don’t always turn out as we except them to, but what’s life most about are all those people and other living creatures that are there when we need them the most.

Compassion is one of the things that move this world and being able to provide others with it is what makes us good individuals. People, however, are not the only ones who possess the ability of being compassionate. Animals have it too, and it’s surprising how much they are willing to give it to others, no matter if they are of their kind or not.

When Jerry the little lamb was born he was unlike his siblings. His tiny appearance made his mother reject him completely and give all her love to the bigger and healthier lambs she had given birth to.

Sadly, it meant the poor animal would die. Well, unless bottle fed and given all the love one can ever experience.

The farmer didn’t think the fragile lamb was worth the care and the effort and Jerry was left on his own.

But as we all know, many times, God has other plans and great things are awaiting for us when we least expect.

“He would never get big enough to be ‘worth it’ [for the farmer],” explained Megan Mostacci, cofounder of Black Goat Farm and Sanctuary, to The Dodo.

Megan took Jerry in and allowed him to be surrounded by other animals who shared his destiny.

The sweet little lamb found a place he could consider home. There, he could turn into a strong and healthy animal everyone would fall in love with. At the time he arrived at the Black Goat Farm and Sanctuary, Jerry was only a few days old.

This amazing place provides permanent residence for animals in need and everyone there is loved and well taken care of. So it was just the perfect home for Jerry.

The owners of this sanctuary are at the same time doing their best “to raise awareness on how livestock are treated as a whole across this country. ” They say, “We want everyone to see them as we do – intelligent, caring, individual, and sentient.”

Megan remembers the time when she and her husband brought Jerry at the vet’s where they told them the poor lamb was experiencing some severe respiratory infection and a septic infection in his joints. But despite all this, Jerry was willing to fight for a better life.

From the moment he entered the sanctuary, all the animals there grew fond of Jerry. However, it looked like two of them, a Nova Scotia duck tolling retriever named Drake and an Australian shepherd named Lincoln became his best friends for life.

The relation Jerry formed with Drake, however, was indeed very special. The dog made sure the lamb was always clean and happy and it was such an incredible thing to witness.

These two were more than friends. It looked like Jerry found in Drake the mother he never had. This time, he wasn’t rejected but accepted and loved for who he really was.

Megan once shared a very special photo of the two best friends writing, “I left for a couple minutes and came back to this.”

Jerry was laying on top of Drake the way lambs lay on their moms and it was obvious this lamb found his security and comfort in the loving dog.

Jerry seemed to be on the way of his full recovery and all the animals at the sanctuary were to thank for the incredible progress he made in such a short period of time.

Sadly, Jerry is no longer around. He passed away recently but his vibrant personality and his will to be accepted and live a normal life are here to remind us that many of us do get second chances.

Thanks to Megan and her dogs, the lamb’s short life was one worth living.
