A Man Notices Stray Dog Carrying A Bowl Of Food And Decides To Follow Her

Seeing a stray dog on the streets isn’t anything unusual as many of these animals are struggling to find food and shelter. Some of them ended up there after being abandoned by their owners, and for others that kind of life is all they know of. 

The reality is that we have no idea how hard it is for them to survive, and we certainly don’t know their background story. For most of us, they are just dogs who didn’t have any luck to become someone’s pet. 

An animal rescuer named Yusuf Kılıçsarı is aware of all this, so one day, he decided to film a dog he saw running down the road trying to learn more of the life they have on the streets. 

But as he got a closer look at the dog, he noticed something pretty unusual. She was carrying a bowl of food in the mouth. 

Yusuf couldn’t help but wonder where this dog was going. Was there someone waiting for her to bring the food, or she was just trying to find a safe place to have her lunch. 

The dog was determined not to spill any of the food she had in her bowl, and she was so focused on it that she risked a car to hit her while she was crossing the street. 

Luckily, the driver noticed her just on time to stop his car. The dog didn’t even turn her head for a moment, all she wanted was to get where she wanted to be. 

Yusuf’s curiosity grew even bigger at this point and he just followed in her footsteps. 

He had to go through a series of junkyard cars and gravel pits in order not to lose her off his sight. Finally, Yusuf understood why this stray dog was so focused and determined to bring that bowl of food at that secluded place. 

This animal rescuer came across the most heartwarming scene ever. The stray dog was a mommy of four sweet pups who were eagerly waiting for her to bring them a meal to munch on. 

The babies were over the moon seeing their mom getting back from her adventure of finding food as they were all pretty hungry. 

Yusuf was happy he got to put the scene on tape and he understood that something in him told him to follow that mommy dog who at that point was both satisfied and exhausted from walking that long. 

After filling their tummies with some delicious food, the puppies proceeded playing around, having fun, and thanking their mother by giving her kisses and juicy licks. 

This stray dog is one devoted and happy mother who’d do anything for the well-being of her little ones. The moment Yusuf was able to put on tape is a precious one and witnesses that nothing beats mother’s love.

We don’t know what happened to this dog family, but we hope they all found their happiness with human families because life on the streets is hard.

Toddler Spills Huge Slushee In Target, Onlooker Quickly Grabs Her Phone

You may spend endless hours teaching your child how to behave in public, but the reality is that at the end they would still act the way they want, or the way they see how you act.

Handling a situation of your kid throwing tantrum during your shopping trip isn’t that easy. If you opt to calm them down, it will likely make them scream even louder. But if you yell back, you are definitely going to be labeled as a bad parent by the onlookers.  

The thing is that we as parents have to find a way of coping with our kids’ naughty behavior in public and use the methods that work best for them. 

Kalynne Marie, a mother of a two-year-old child was having coffee at Starbucks when she spotted a father and his boy walk in the shop. That’s when the boy accidentally spilled a slushee all over the place. What caught Marie’s attention was the father’s reaction. She though that situation described what it really means to nail at parenting and she shared it on her Facebook page.

Here’s what she wrote:

It’s amazing how the father turned the ‘unpleasant’ situation in his favor and used it to teach his son a valuable life lesson. Now his child knows that making mistakes can happen to everyone, but when it does, he has to take a responsibility for it. And yes, asking for help when you need some isn’t something to be embarrassed of. 

“As soon as the father started helping his son clean up, I opened the Notes app on my phone and wrote what he said word for word, because I was so inspired by how he was handling the situation,” she said.

Puppy Dumped To Die In A Dumping Ground On Lonely Road, Rescue Leads To A Dark Story

Most times, when we are on our way to work we don’t really expect to come across someone who would change our life, but that’s exactly what happens every now and then. 

Tegan Griffith, a woman from Wisconsin, was driving on a desolated country road when something strange caught her attention. A sweet puppy got out of a ditch. It was more than obvious that the poor soul was left there to die. But he was lucky enough to stumble upon someone kind-hearted like Tegan who took it with her at the office. 

The cute puppy with floppy ears was malnourished and couldn’t wait to eat the cheese his new human friend had to offer. Tegan was more than happy to help the dog that she named Larry find his happiness. 

Once she got home, Tegan called the authorities and some nearby shelters, hoping to learn who the cruel person who ditched sweet Larry might be. To her surprise, when she called one of the shelters and told them where she spotted the pup, they said, “Oh! You found NUMBER FOUR!”

Tegan knew there was something more behind Larry’s story and she was willing to find out what was going on so she paid the shelter a visit. 

As it turned out, Larry wasn’t the only abandoned dog that day. His three sisters were previously spotted in the nearby area where Tegan found him.

Larry’s sisters were brought to the shelter the previous day, but he somehow got lost and spent the night out, all alone and freezing. 

Tegan thought it would be great if the siblings are reunited again, so she took Larry and drove him to see his sisters. 

The shelter staff were willing to treat the pups with the appropriate medical care until they are all cleaned from worms.  

Once they fully recover, the siblings will be given for adoption.

As for Larry, he already found his forever home with the woman who saved him. 

Dad Says the Last Goodbye to ‘Miracle’ Baby Weeks After Wife Dies Giving Birth

Many times, we do our best and try really hard for our life to take the turn we so much anticipate, but the reality is that we can never have complete control of the situations and the obstacles that come on our way. Matthew and Lauren Accurso had been together for more than 20 years and had a wonderful life together. They had three daughters and were over the moon when they learned their fourth bundle of joy, a baby boy, was on the way. Unfortunately, when Lauren, 37, went into labor on April 29, she suffered complications and lost her life. The baby, Matthew Jr., was transferred to NICU where he fought for his life. He was “suffering from significant brain injury due to a prolonged period without oxygen during his birth.” His dad and his big sisters never left his side and prayed for the tiny human to survive. At the beginning it looked like the baby would pull through, but then what everyone feared of happened. Matthew Jr. had to be taken off life support only days after he was welcomed into this world. His dad wrote a letter that his friend Matt McCloghry shared on Facebook where he explained the reasons behind the decision and thanked everyone for their prayers and support. “Today was one of the hardest days of my life. It will forever be etched in my brain. I sat in a room at Wolfsons hospital with 15 highly qualified medical professionals who all care deeply for our son Matthew. Unfortunately, the last thing I ever thought I would have to talk about as a father was now very real and happening,” Accurso wrote. “For those of you who may not know, Matthew is suffering from significant brain injury due to a prolonged period without oxygen during his birth.” “As a result, several serious complications related to cognitive function and development have become a reality for Matthew. At this time Matthew is being supported by a breathing machine requiring an airway tube, and also a feeding tube.” “Based on the severity of his condition Matthew will not be able to sustain life without these medical devices in place, what we would typically describe as ‘life support’. Over the past few weeks doctors have attempted to wean him off the machines, but sadly the results have not been positive.” “I wanted to whisk him away to our family condo on the beach and let the healing kisses of his sisters, grandmas and cousins cleanse his little body of all his infirmities, but as life sometimes does, I was brought back down to the reality that my only son, the sweet boy that my wife so diligently and lovingly carried for 9 months is in a situation that daddy could not fix.” “The ONLY hope in all of this could only come from his heavenly daddy who placed breathe in Matthews lungs from the very beginning,” Accurso continued. “TODAY, I was faced with something no father should ever have to face. The decision to place Matthew on endless life supporting contraptions and medications or allow God to carry him where He will.” “So many thoughts have run through my head. ‘What more can I give Lord, you have my soul mate and now my son? That is all I can bear. Please shower your mercy over me. This weight is too great!’” The short life of Matthew Jr. was a real miracle from God and Accurso had his reasons to believe that to be true. “Some will hear our story and think, what an awful tragedy. “Some will think, where is God when we need him? “Some will say, see, miracles don’t happen.” “But do you want the truth? Matthew is a living miracle. See, Matthew’s coming into the world was far from normal. The minute his mommy took her last breath Matthew was thrust from the most peaceful world one could ever know into a chaotic frenzy to save his mother and him,” he explained. “Without an ounce of oxygen he made it in an ambulance, to an emergency room, through an emergency c-section and into a NICU. Matthew then defied all odds and opened his eyes, breathed on his own, pumped blood through his strong heart, moved his limbs without rigidity and even made coo noises.” “His body slowly began to function, and he even gripped my finger when from what we were told, that should have been impossible.” “Often times we consider things miracles when the miracle looks how we want it to look. What I’ve learned is that miracles are miracles whether we choose to see them or not. My miracle was having my soul mate by my side for almost 20 years and then being so blessed to give her 4 gorgeous babies,” Accurso wrote. “My miracle is holding my son for as many precious moments as possible and when the time comes, lifting him up to his mommy so that she can hold him for the first time in paradise.” The day he died, May 17, Matthew Jr. was surrounded by those who loved him so much. A GoFundMe page had been set up to help the family during the sad and rough time they are going through.

Dog Who Never Saw Daylight Finally Rescued From Puppy Mill

After the Humane Society of the United States discovered a puppy mill in Cabarrus County, North Carolina, they knew they had to get all those animals out of that horrendous place. 

Among the 130 dogs who were placed in tiny and filthy cages was one precious dog named B.B. She was in such a bad shape that at the time of her rescue she only weighted a couple pounds. B.B. only had three teeth left and it was impossible to determine her age. 

That awful place turned B.B. and the rest of the inhabitants, among which 20 cats and three goats, into miserable animals who had no idea what it feels like to take a walk outside or run around the park. 

“She was very tiny, and she looked like this helpless creature.” said Jessica Lauginiger, animal crimes manager at HSUS.

One thing was for sure, B.B. has never seen the daylight before, but luckily, it was all about to change. 

“I put my hand up to the cage, and she’d come up and sniff a little bit. She was very hesitant for human attention, but she wanted it,” Jessica said.

Based on her condition, the rescuers could determine that B.B. was bred over and over again throughout the years. 

But thanks to the love the kind people from HSUS were willing to give to her, B.B. was about to get a new chance for a better life. The first thing after being freed from the cruel breeders was seeing the sunlight. The poor thing had to squint to adjust her eyes. 

All the animals who got to experience their freedom that day were brought at the Cabarrus Animal Hospital which is placed just 35 minutes north of the puppy mill. 

Each and every one of them was exhausted and malnourished, but we do believe how all of them will turn into somebody’s healthy and happy pets. 

B.B., however, was the dog that made the greatest impression on the rescuers. They simply fell in love with her and decided to make her the star of the annual campaign whose purpose is to collect money to help abandoned animals. They also use part of the money in the fight against puppy mills. 

Luckily for B.B., she was adopted and will get to spend her life surrounded by love and kindness. 

As for her age, the rescuers believe she’s between seven and ten years old. 

B.B.’s new owner, Brenda Tortoreo is looking forward to spoiling her furry baby with all the luxuries she never had.  

We are so very happy that B.B. got her happy ending, and we are forever thankful to the rescuers from HSUS and all the animal rights advocates from all around the world.

Below is the whole story. 

Rambunctious Husky Daddy Meets His 9 Pups For First Time – Outcome Doesn’t Disappoint

As we all know there is nothing sweeter than puppies, imagine the joy of having nine of them at home. 

A Husky mommy gave birth to a litter of cute babies who spend their days playing and running around the house. But the best thing is that someone special joins their routine of having fun; their Husky daddy. 

Dash got to see his offspring for the very first time after they turned six weeks old. 

At first, he’s looking at them in awe and can’t believe they are all his babies. He loves seeing them go back and forth the place and enjoy themselves. But as observing isn’t really that fun, he decides to join in the game. It’s more than obvious how this proud dad loves the time he gets to spend around the naughty puppies. 

Dash really wants for the pups to accept him as one of them and does his best for the babies to love him back and include him in their group. As he’s trying to bond with the little ones, the mommy, Kitana, walks around and makes sure no one gets hurt or something. 

Once they run out of stamina from hanging around, they go to their mom to have some milk and take a rest. 

This amazing family really is the sweetest out there.

Take a look at them spending pleasurable time together. 

 

11-year-old in critical condition after being hit while getting off school bus

Our thoughts and prayers are with 11-year-old Shianne Dean who is in critical condition after being hit by a car on May 3. The Minneapolis girl was exiting the school bus when the tragedy happened. 

Shianne sustained severe injuries and a brain swelling and had undergone two surgeries. The person who hit her was a student at the Stonebridge World School. Police arrested him and said that at the time of the incident he was under influence. 

“When he hit her, she flew up in the air and came back down and my baby hadn’t talked since,”LaTonya Williams, Shianne’s mother, told Fox 9. “She hasn’t opened her eyes since.”

Currently, authorities are investigating whether the bus driver used the stop arm while the students were getting off the bus. 

“She was getting off the bus coming from school, from learning, and you struck a child,” Williams told KARE 11. “That’s not fair.”

Shianne’s mother is devastated but she believes her child is strong enough to pull through. She asks for those involved in her daughter’s accident to be brought to justice. She is certain the bus not only failed to use the stop arm, but the flashing lights too. 

“She’s strong,” Williams said. “I said it ain’t time for her to go. Shianne is coming home.”

Monarch Bus Company said how the safety and the well-being of the students their company drives to and from school is their number one priority. They said they are praying for sweet Shianne to recover completely. 

Maybe if the stop arm and the flashing lights were used, none of this would have happened. This should serve as a lesson for bus drivers to be more cautious when it comes to the safety of the students. 

If a school bus has the red flashing lights on, other drivers have to stop, no matter which direction they are approaching it. It’s the law and it has to be respected in order for tragedies like this one to be avoided in the future. 

 We all pray for Shianne’s recovery. Stay strong!

A 12-week-old girl suddenly passes away from undetected heart condition

Gemma Williams and Jason Thomas were over the moon when their bundle of joy, sweet baby Lexi came to this world. They were looking forward to a long and happy life with their daughter, but then the most devastating thing happened. At just 12 weeks old, little Lexi lost her life and left her grieving parents wondering whether they could have done something to prevent the tragedy. According to Wales Online, the unfortunate event took place back in March 2013 while the family was taking a shopping trip together. Lexi was in her stroller when she fell unconscious and unresponsive. Gemma told Waled Online, “I went to touch Lexi’s face but she didn’t react. Then I realized something wasn’t right and I shouted for help.” At the time her parents noticed she wasn’t responding, it was already way too late for the little life to be saved. The ambulance was on their way when an onlooker with a medical training approached and offered help. He tried to resuscitate her, but Lexi didn’t respond. The parents were shocked. They couldn’t believe how a perfectly healthy baby could die so suddenly. But the reality was completely different. The reason for Lexi’s death was a rare illness her family wasn’t aware she was suffering from. When she was born, both Gemma and Lexi were discharged from the hospital in a great condition. The doctors failed to diagnose the baby with total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage, a rare congenital malformation that doesn’t allow enough oxygenated blood to be pumped around the body. Now years after Lexi said the final goodbye, Gemma and Jason have a son whom they love unconditionally. However, they are now urging hospitals and doctors to tests all newborn babies with the ‘pulse oximetry’ method that monitors the oxygen levels in the blood. This would help detect any potential heart conditions like the one Lexi suffered from.
