Rottweiler refuses to take his meds so he plays dead to get out of it

Little kids throwing tantrums for no apparent reason and refusing to take their medications when they are sick is something we stumble upon more often than we would like to. Now imagine having to cope with a pup when it comes to handling a similar situation. 

Brutus is a sweet dog who unfortunately has to take lots of meds because of his condition. He suffers from arthritis and without the pills the doctors prescribed him he would be in more pain. The thing is that he simply hates them and his owner has hard time making him swallow all those pills.

Brutus’ owner has tried everything he could think of to get the puppy take his medicines. The first thing that came to his mind was to reward him for being a good boy but most of the time it’s all in vain. 

“Bud, every time you take your meds we go outside and play,

the owner would coax the dog into consuming the tiny discs.

Even if the dog’s owner somehow manages to make Brutus open his mouth, the hardest part is to make him swallow the pills he would otherwise just keep on his tongue trying to spit them.

Brutus, however, isn’t only sweet and adorable, but very smart too. He had found an incredible way of getting out of this tricky situation. How, you ask? Using his amazing acting skills, and playing dead. 

“He just puts them in his mouth and he won’t eat them,” Brutus’s owner explained into the camera. “If I put it in a piece of food, he’ll chew it up and spit it out – he knows. I’ve never seen him do this, though.”

This is yet another of his tactics. 

“He’ll stick them in between his teeth and then kind of tilt his head back,” the owner shared. “Most of the time he’ll just eventually swallow them on accident.”

His owner knows how much Brutus hates the pills, but he’s also aware how he has to take them if he doesn’t want his condition to worsen. When he was just a pup, Brutus was taken from the breeder where he suffered an injury. This left him unable to walk, but his life turned for the better after he met his current owner. 

According to USA Today, his new family did everything in their power to ease Brutus’ life. They even raised the money for a corrective surgery on his paws which enabled him to walk again. Besides his struggles and unwillingness to swallow all those pills, he is one really happy dog.

Brutus’ life and the ordeal he had to go through serve as an example and an inspiration that we should never ever quit trying. He went a long way. Way to go pup. 

Dad sends baby girl a special bear one month into deployment

Nothing ever beats father-daughter relationship. Dads would always go an extra mile for their little princesses they love to the moon and back, and the girls would always look to their fathers for guidance. 

Drew is a part of the military and a loving father of adorable Pia. When he was told he was going to be deployed and away from home for long eight months, he knew his sweet daughter would miss him a lot, and that made him sad. So, this amazing father came up with an awesome idea. He made for Pia a teddy bear with a special voice recording inside. He knew the toy would come as comfort in the days to come. Drew asked his wife to give their daughter the gift one month after he leaves home. 

YouTube

When the time for the present to be handed to Pia came, her mom was overly excited and couldn’t wait for her daughter’s reaction. When she saw the bear, Pia felt really happy, but the real surprise was revealed once she got to press the bear’s paw. Out of the blue, this sweet little girl could hear her father’s voice saying, “Hi, P. I love you. I’ll see you soon.” She started screaming “Daddy! Daddy!” and we all agree that her reaction is the sweetest ever. 

YouTube

Drew and his wife Kelly are expecting another baby girl. She is due to give birth four months prior her husband’s arrival home. It’s sad he would miss the bundle of joy’s birth, but we are certain the baby girl would be lucky to have a loving father like Drew. However, until that moment comes, Pia is his most important girl in the whole world. 

Take a look at the moment Pia listens to her father saying “I love you” and her reaction to that. 

Elvis’ final performance of unchained melody 1977

Elvis Presley, the “King of Rock and Roll” is still regarded as one of the most significant cultural icons. His charming personality, amazing looks, and incredible singing talent made him the idol of his decade to many. His presence was always greeted by screaming hordes of young women who were enchanted by him. 

In this rarely before seen footage, Elvis treats the world with a powerful performance of one of our all time favorite classics.

YouTube

 

It’s truly amazing how much passion and love he puts into his singing. As he sits behind the piano, he belts out incredibly fascinating rendition of “Unchained melody.” This performance, which took place in Rapid City, South Dakota, is said to be his last, as he passed away only six weeks after this concert. 

The perfect combination of this song and Elvis’ out-of-this-world vocal abilities triggers deep emotions. 

YouTube

 

No matter if you are fan of Elvis or not, this is something you wouldn’t miss. It’s haunting and you can tell his whole heart and soul is in this. Get ready to feel chills as you listen to one of the King’s most breathtaking performances. 

Daddy confronts his daughter about the 4 missing cupcakes in the kitchen. Her defense is hysterical.

If you offer a toddler a healthy snack like broccoli, you will probably get a big no, no for an answer. But if you opt to treat them with some cupcakes, ice-cream, or candy, they are going to love you to the moon and back. Many times, telling your young child how sweets are not really the best choice, or how they are not allowed to have any before dinner, they will certainly not agree with what you are saying. 

 

This sweet girl’s father, Macario Aegeus, noticed how some of the cupcakes were missing. He wondered who could the “thief” be before he decided to confront his little girl. The “interrogation” soon turned into one of the sweetest father-daughter bonding activities we’ve ever seen. Oh, this is definitely too sweet to handle. 

 

The father asks his sweet daughter whether she is aware how there is a cupcake thief in the house. The sweet girl doesn’t even try to defend herself and readily admits taking four of them. What follows is both cute and hilarious. The father decides to “punish” the thief with some jail time, but she doesn’t like the idea and starts running. He starts chasing her and the two pretend to be a cop and a robber. A game we played a lot when we were young. One of the best things is when daddy speaks on the radio, giving a cute description of the suspect. 

 

These father and daughter really know how to have fun. Plus, they made our day too so we are glad he decided to put the whole thing on tape. It would be awesome when they watch this a couple of years later when she will be all grown up and “old” for any kid’s games. 

 

Take a look at the amazing time these two have. Isn’t he the best dad ever?

His name is Frederik The Great, and he’s the world’s most handsome horse

There is something in their physical stature and elegant movements that makes horses appealing to the human kind. For me personally, they stand for freedom and beauty, and I am certain many will agree how the relation between people and horses is pretty much like the one we have we dogs. Horses stood by man’s side since the beginning of time, and are one of God’s most beautiful creations. 

However, there are some horses that really stand out from the rest. Frederik the Great is a Friesian Stallion whose long, illustrious locks and his toned body make him one of the most handsome horses in the world. This beauty even has a Facebook page dedicated to him and around 26,000 followers who admire his looks every day.

Dog thrown from a bridge with mouth taped shut thanks the man who saved him

That night, a guy named Bob Hoelter did something different. He would always drive 2 miles to the local store, but not this time. It was as though something made him walk instead of getting in his car. He now calls that force “an act of divine intervention” and we do believe he’s quite right. 

“I usually drive. That night I decided I needed some exercise,” Hoelter said.

On his way to the store there is a bridge he has to cross over. And it was exactly where he heard the noise that would change one life forever. 

Facebook

It was a sound of pain and despair and Hoelter knew something was terribly wrong. 

“I was looking at the water and the land, but I don’t see anything, but I hear it,” he said. “I walked back to land and I walked around and looked around.”

He wouldn’t just let the place before thoroughly examine every corner in hopes of locating the poor soul who was obviously in need of help. He even got on his hands and knees just to make sure he doesn’t miss the help seeker in case they were under the bridge. 

“I get my flashlight out because I always carry a flashlight with me,” Hoelter said. “I got to the bottom. I finally see him!”

There was a tiny puppy, scared and trembling. Its eyes were looking straight at Hoelter’s, as though they were begging him to lend a helping hand. As he reached for the puppy, the man was shocked by what he noticed. 

The pup’s muzzle was taped shut – wrapped tightly with electrical tape and it was heartbreaking to see. 

Facebook

“I’m like, ‘Oh, sh*t,” Hoelter said.

The first thing that came to Holter’s mind was to get the dog to Griffith Animal Hospital. On the way there, he was only praying for it to be open. 

“I just threw him in my jacket, crawled back up and started hoofing it to the animal hospital,” he said.

This amazing man entered the hospital, holding the puppy in his arms, hoping it would get the much needed medical assistance. The hopsital manager, Lori Kovacich says she would never forget the sight. 

“I was out of my chair and in the lobby to get him in seconds,” Kovacich said.

Kovacich didn’t even ask Hoelter what was wrong with the dog or where he found it. She just took it in her hands and alarmed the vets of the emergency of the case. 

Facebook

Hoelter felt relieved knowing the soul he saved was now in the safe hands of the doctors. He was certain they would do anything in their power to nurture the pup to health. 

The vets felt devastated after they realized the tape was there for more than 4 or 5 days. How could someone be so cruel? 

They got even sadder when they did a thorough examination. Sadly, the dog’s skin was in a terrible condition and one of its tiny legs was broken. The poor soul was only four months old.

The staff treated the pup with antibiotics and made sure they provided him not only with professional help, but a comfy bed, a bunch of toys, and endless love too. 

Kovacich commented the case posting on her Facebook page, saying:

“In my 30 years of working here, I never thought I’d see this … in real life.”

Facebook

The manager’s post vent viral in a blink of an eye. It resulted in many people being concerned for the dog’s health and among the well-wishers there was a couple who knew it was destined for them to welcome the pup in their family. 

The Wittings have recently lost their dog and they instantly fell in love with this cutie pie. 

“I thought, ‘That cute little face needs me. I can give him 24/7 love, and I need him,’” Witting said.

We are happy to tell you how they did adopt the sweet dog they later named Louie.

Facebook

The Wittings were extremely grateful to the person who found the puppy, but then they realized they had no idea who that was. After they reached to the hospital that treated the pup they were told how a man brought Louie in the middle of the nigh after he found it under a bridge. But, Kovacich didn’t took his number nor his name. 

Later, however, Hoelter’s niece saw the story of Louie which was viral already and informed her uncle how the people who adopted the puppy he saved wanted to meet him. 

The niece and Kovacich organized the reunion which triggered flow of emotions. 

“I was awestruck because I didn’t think he remembered me,” Hoelter said. “They sat him down and he ran right to me.”

Facebook

Louie recognized the man who gave him a second chance for a better life and treated him with lots of doggy hugs and kisses. 

However, he couldn’t stop thinking what would have happened to Louie if he didn’t decide to take a walk that night.

“It makes me think God has a purpose for everyone, to be honest with you. We all have our calling,” Hoelter said. “I’m going to have to walk more often, but I sure don’t want to find more dogs under the bridge.”

Facebook

Louie is indeed one lucky dog. He had a rough start in life, but he eventually got his happy ending.

Airplane Companies Won’t Allow Marine’s ‘Huge’ Dogs on Plane. Heiress Charters Private Jet

Marine Andrew Morales was reassigned from the south of California to Camp Lejeune in North Carolina, which meant he and his family had to move places. That didn’t really bother the family who were looking forward to the new life, but there was one thing that made them less enthusiastic for the trip. Namely, Andrew was planning on taking a commercial flight and take his two adorable dogs with him. The issue? No large dogs allowed on the plane. 

Thankfully, this family’s story got the attention of that one person who knew exactly how to help. 

Source: ABC News

Helen Rosburg, the great-granddaughter of William Wrigley, who was known as one of the pioneer chewing gum industrialists, stepped in by doing the most amazing thing ever. She let Andrew and his dogs use her private jet to get to their new home.

“He was going to lose his dogs and I said ‘Not on my watch,’” Helen recalls. “He’s a hero on so many different levels. The Wrigleys are an extremely patriotic family and I am a true Wrigley child.”

Gorgeous Dusty and Wyatt were an important and pretty much inseparable part of the marine’s life because he saved them overseas during a military tour he was part of a couple of years ago. 

“In Afghanistan, they are pretty much your best friend,” Andrew said.

Before he even asked for help transporting his two Anatolian Shepards, he contacted every airline company, but the answer was always a resounding no.

This made Andrew reach the league responsible for the dogs’ rescue back in Afghanistan. What they did was make his story viral and that’s when Helen first heard of the Morales family. This woman who has a heart of gold and is the founder of the On The Wings of Angels Rescue organization is also a huge supporter of the military and animal rescue. 

“Everybody in my circle knows what I do,” the good Samaritan said. “If they see an impossible situation, they’ll post something to my [Facebook] timeline.”

Needless to say, the Morales were beyond grateful and very much excited for not having to let their furry family members behind.

“From the bottom of me and my wife’s hearts we really appreciate what she did for us,” the US Marine said.

The family would really want to thank Helen in person, and according to her, that may really happen as she is as well thrilled to get to meet these dog lovers. 

We are glad there are people like Helen out there who understand the love of someone for their furry pals. 

Man Tells Off Woman At Movie Theater

Not all heroes wear capes, and this story shared on Reddit by the user BrainKatana is just a reminder that we should always step in when we feel like someone is not treated the way they deserve. The message he wants to share is that if you believe that being disabled makes someone less of a person, than you should be the one reconsidering the humanity in you. He witnessed a woman insulting a disabled individual and decided to not let her off the hook but tell her off instead. And if you think this is just the right thing to do, have in mind that many people would simply look the other way. But not this guy. He knows that treating others with utmost respect is what makes this world go round and he wouldn’t settle for less. “I was waiting in line to buy tickets at a movie theater, and there was a fellow in front of me with cerebral palsy (or MS, or some other horrible thing that puts you in a chair and messed up your body). It was taking a while. I watched this guy struggle to open an envelope by holding it with his teeth and using his one functional hand. I wasn’t sure what to do, or if offering to help would be insulting, so I just chilled. He was doing it before the person in front of him was done with the cashier anyway, and it looked like he’d done this before. He gets up to the counter and it takes him a minute to get out his Regal card and pay for the ticket. The woman behind me started to make (loud) snide remarks about how ‘people like that shouldn’t be allowed to go to the movies.’ I was enraged. It was a kind of anger I’ve never experienced before. At first I didn’t know what to do. She said something else, and the fellow in front of me paused. At that moment I turned around and said to her, ‘We should all be so lucky to wait in this line on our own two feet. Keep your disingenuous thoughts to yourself.’ The woman looked shocked and the guy behind me leaned over to his date and said, ‘Daaaaaaaaamn…’ His date was looking at me like she’d just splooshed her pants. The woman behind me shut her mouth. It took a moment longer for the guy to get to the counter, but when I got there the girl at the register said I could go to any movie I wanted, that the gentleman in front of me had paid for me and said, ‘Thanks.’ If you’re out there, disabled guy, I didn’t do it looking for a reward. I did it because sometimes people are real asshats, and no one deserves to experience what you did today. Thanks for the movie ticket, though. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was awesome.” Source: Reddit
