Parents Dance With Kids To Phil Wright’s Choreography At IDA

As much as many moms and dads love dancing and goofing around with their kids, they don’t really have many opportunities doing so as the youngsters are often embarrassed to be seen hanging out and do creative things with their parents.

Well, not the kids from the video below. They have so much fun dancing and doing a choreography with their moms and dads that they will definitely make your day. I bet you can’t watch the whole thing without pulling some dance moves yourself.

It was choreographer Phil Wright from the International Dance Academy who came up with the routine and filmed the whole thing. Not only did he invite parents, but siblings, grandparents, and other members of his students’ families too.

It’s amazing how willing the older generation is to have fun when given the chance to. The song they’re dancing on is Earth Wind & Fire’s 1981 hit, “Let’s Groove” and it depicts just perfectly how everyone’s feeling being at the dance floor.

Just look at this mom’s crazy dancing style. I don’t think her girls were aware how great she was at twirling before she showed them how things are done.

A day filled with a bunch of laughing and endless entertainment, don’t you think so?

And this guy over here! He definitely deserves the parent of the year award as he’s dancing with his little baby; simply adorable!

Take a look at the video now and you can thank us later 🙂

Dog Pushes Himself To Walk Again So He Can Be With His Favorite Boy

Once in the house, dogs become an inseparable part of the family. They are equally important as the rest of the family members and Grizzy’s family knew that, so they never quit fighting for him once he was diagnosed with wobblers disease. This adorable dog and his human sibling Luke have been best friends from the moment they met and watching Grizzy struggle broke the boy’s heart.

The family was told that Grizzy could undergo a surgery and start walking again, but sadly, once out of the operating room, he was brought home on a gurney. It was difficult to move his huge body around the place, but his humans never lost hope that things could turn for the better for their dog.

The vets told them that it would take approximately four months for Grizzy to start walking again, but even after that period of time passed there was no significant improvement regarding his condition.

Determined to help him, his family placed Grizzy at a specialized facility, and although it meant he had to spend some time there, they all knew it was for the best. As it turned out, their decision was the right one, and after struggling for so long, Grizzy could be playing by his favorite boy’s side again.

Below is their story that teaches us to never stop fighting for what we love.

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.

If you love what Megan is doing for animals in need, you can make a donation to her sanctuary here.

This Singing Dad Stole the Hearts of Everyone Online

I’m sure you remember your teen years all too well, especially because of that ‘awkward’ relationship you had with your parents. During these years, many teenagers believe they are always right and it happens very often that they don’t get along with their moms and dads and are embarrassed of them. Luckily, this is usually just a period that passes quickly.

Dayla Jones is a young girl who happens to be spending quality time with her dad, and now everyone knows that thanks to a video she shared.

Whenever the two are driving around, Dayla’s dad Kris is showing his singing talent and lets his vocal loose. Dayla finds this both a bit embarrassing and fun. So, one day, she decided to secretly film her father’s ‘solo performance’ and ‘make fun of him’ not knowing the video will go viral in a blink of an eye and everyone would fall in love with the singing daddy.

This time, the song Tennessee Whiskey is on and it happens to be one of Kris’ favorite. He enjoys his little girl’s company so much that he decides to go for it and belt out the lyrics.

At the same time, Dayla just can’t contain her laughter and hits the recording on her phone. And yes, she seems not to realize how talented her daddy really is so she won’t stop making silly faces all along.

Not only there is nothing embarrassing about Kris’ singing, but he’s in fact so good at it that very soon the whole country would realize that.

When she uploaded the video on various social media platforms, Dayla expected for her friends and other people to laugh at her dad’s singing, but exactly the opposite happened. Everyone was so charmed by Kris’ singing skills that the video was seen by more than 43 million people on YouTube alone.

Believe it or not, what was supposed to be a fun-making video, made Kris a celebrity.

Once he got encouraged to continue singing, he, in fact, decided to do it as a second career. Needless to say, he rocks at it.

As for Dayla, she finally understood how her dad isn’t ‘lame’ as she though, but he’s pretty cool and people from all over the country love him and his vibrant personality.

Kris ended up releasing two country albums under Bent Bar Records and made lots of media appearances. He was Ellen DeGeneres’ guest at her show and now pretty much everyone knows who he is and how he became famous.

Man contracted flesh-eating bacteria during a kayaking trip and is now left fighting for his life

Life is unpredictable. Now you are at your best, and in the next moment things can get an unlike turn no one expects or can ever predict.

Unfortunately, that is exactly what happened to a family from Alabama. Ricky Rutherford, his wife Cassey, and some friends were taking a kayaking trip in Second Creek, looking forward to a day filled with fun and excitement, but what they got was the most unpleasant surprise ever. Ricky contracted flesh-eating bacteria and is now fighting for his life.

Once the trip was over, Ricky started feeling really bad as his body reached temperature of 103 degrees. He could feel cramps in his leg too, but believed it was caused by him working at the warehouse during high temperatures.

The following day, his leg was all red and swollen and that’s when they became aware something more serious was in question. Cassey took to Facebook to share her husband’s story, writing:

“When he undressed he found his leg was red and swollen. We immediately went to the ER last night and they told us it was cellulitis possibly contracted from our kayaking trip Saturday and treated him with IV antibiotics and sent him home with two more. They told him if there was any change to come back.”

The doctors assumed he could have contracted the flesh-eating bacteria and operated on Ricky’s leg. The five-by-six inch chunk they removed from his leg was sent to be further examined. The results came back and doctors’ assumptions came true. Ricky contracted necrotising fasciitis.

“My husband is fighting for his life right now because of this horrible thing,” Cassey continued. “What seemed like a normal fun activity that we enjoyed as a family has turned into a nightmare.

Unfortunately, despite the antibiotics and other medicine he was given, Ricky is still left fighting for his life. Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family. We hope he’ll pull through and continue leaving his dream.

Cassey is spreading the story because she wants more people to be aware of the dangers of taking trips at the woods or going kayaking. Many believe a person has to have an open wound in order to contract such life-threatening bacteria, but that’s not always the case.

Speaking to WAFF, Cassey said: “There was nothing. But the doctors told us it could be a microscopic hole that it could come into and still spread like that. It’s hard to believe that there was a group of us and my husband, being the healthiest immune system there, got this.

“He’s never sick. He doesn’t even have a doctor. To know that he got that when the rest of us didn’t is insane.

“I don’t want anyone else to go through this. On Saturday, I was having to think about burying the love of my life. No one should ever have to go through that. Do not get in that water! It’s not safe. Don’t jeopardise your family for a day of fun. It’s right here in our backyard.”

Man spots a freezing kitten at the side of the road and it turns into one of the best rescues we’ve ever seen

Sadly, it’s not unusual for animals to be abandoned at secluded places and dumping grounds by owners who are not willing to take care of them any longer. This tiny kitten, however, was dumped at the side of a road and could be easily killed by a driving vehicle if it wasn’t for one man who spotted it just on time. 

At first, he wasn’t sure what kind of animal it was, but once he got out of the car, he saw the saddest kitten ever. The trembling soul was so scared and confused that it couldn’t stop shaking. The weather was freezing and it only added to the poor condition the kitty found itself in.  

The rescue is one of those that restore our faith in humanity. You can take a look at it below. 

Great Dane Gets Jealous of the New Puppy and Throws the Most Hilarious Tantrum

No matter what breed they belong to, each dog is unique in some special way. But, one thing they have in common is the loyalty they show to humans. 

Having one in your life is a real blast, as no day is dull with a dog around. 

This Great Dane in particular made our day with the reaction he showed when his human mommy came home caring a new puppy in her arms. One would guess the members of the family would be excited to meet the new addition, but not this big guy. As it turned out, he is so used to be the center of attention in the house that he’s not afraid to show how he’s not that keen on the baby dog. 

Seeing his mommy giving ‘all her love’ to another pup, the Great Dane won’t stop leaping up on her. He would really love to be the one in her arms. 

It looks as though he’s begging her to get rid of that little pup. 

What’s most, there is another dog in the house, but unlike the Great Dane, he’s not that interested in what’s going on around the place. He’s just chilling at a corner of the room and doesn’t even want to get the attention of his mom. 

This is going to make you laugh, that’s for sure. Take a look at the hilarious tantrum the Great Dane throws in the video below. 

Family Dog Loves Helping Put Crying Baby Girl Back to Sleep During the Night

Sara Lebwohl and her husband Zach’s story is one of those that makes everyone go ‘aww.’ This lovely family of three, the couple and their dog Prince, welcomed their bundle of joy two years ago and their lives became even better than before. The sweet baby daughter not only brought happiness in their days, but she filled the life of Prince with pleasant feelings too. 

Little Halle and her furry sibling clicked right away and they’ve been best friends ever since. 

Prince somehow knew a new addition to the family was on the way even before Halle enter his life. During her pregnancy, he would never leave Sara’s side and would always make sure she is in a good mood. 

“When she first came home, he went right up to her and sniffed her,” Sara told The Dodo. “He knew she was little and fragile. But he always stayed close and kept a very close eye on her. He was truly a nanny dog from the first day.”

The two have all the fun together and enjoy being around each other’s side. 

But Prince isn’t just a friend to Halle. He’s her caretaker who is always making sure she is safe and smiling. 

Now as Halle turned two and she started sleeping in her own room, her mom and dad have to wake up during the night whenever they realize their baby girl is restless. During these night visits to her room, Prince would always accompany them just to be sure Halle is ok. 

Well, this gave them the idea to leave the doors of both rooms a bit open during the night so that Prince can leave his parents’ bedroom, check up on Halle, and make her company until she gets back to sleep again. 

This turned out to be an awesome idea as Prince enjoys his role of a nanny. 

“Surprisingly it has worked out well,” Sara said. “We crack the door open for him when she gets up, and he walks in to greet her. He has a little routine he does, including rolling around on the ground. Then he will look at her and lay down. The amazing thing is that this calms her, and she goes back to sleep.”

This facilitated Sara and Zach’s lives a great deal. They can have their sleep knowing Halle is in a safe hands. 

“Prince has been an unexpected savior, allowing us a bit more precious minutes to hours of sleep. When he walks in the room, we know she is in good paws and we can all get some more rest,” Sara said.

Both Halle and her parents are extremely lucky to have such caring pet as Prince. They know their daughter would turn into a great child because of all the love she gets from her furry best friend. 

“He takes his job as protective big brother very seriously,” Sara said. “Our family feels so fortunate to have a dog that is so loving and good-hearted. We are also thankful that Halle adores Prince.”

Dog Sneaks Away From Home to Make Friends With Deer

That a dog is a man’s best friend is something most of us know all to well already, but the truth is that these loving creatures are so outgoing that they can make friends with other animals too.

Koda, a sweet Husky is the perfect proof of that. 

Just recently, she run away from home and left her owner Rachel Howatt wondering where the dog might be. After the failed search, Koda got back home all by herself as though she had never left the place. Rachel, however, found her dog’s behavior strange and was determined to learn where did Koda go when she sneaked away.   

She then came up with the idea to check on her neighbor’s trail camera and see whether it caught Koda on the night she was away. But, the sight she saw was definitely something Rachel didn’t expect to see. Apparently, Koda had a new friend and it wasn’t another dog, but a deer. 

The two were so close that it looked like they had known each other in years. It was obvious that both Koda and her male deer friend were having so much fun together. 

“It was quite something. Based on the time they spent on frame, it looked like they spent over 12 hours together. There’s also another photo where there’s two bucks in the picture with her,” Rachel told The Dodo.

Although she wouldn’t want for her dog to go missing ever again, Rachel is aware that Koda may try to sneak away again in order to spend some fun time with the deer. 

“Huskies have such a free spirit,” Rachel continued. “It doesn’t surprise me at all that Koda was trying to make a new friend.”

Little Boy Takes Time to Play With the Neighbor’s Cat Other Kids Find “Scary”

Ace has to be one of the sweetest cats you’ve ever met. He’s cute, loving, and enjoys humans’ company. He is a rescue cat who was lucky enough to end up with a family who loves him to the moon and back. Sadly, because of the way he looks, not many people love getting closer and pat him. 

Because he’s missing one eye, most of the kids find this sweet soul “scary,” but not the little boy who drives his bike near Ace’s house every day. 

When Ace’s owner took a look at the footage of his security camera and saw the boy taking time out of his routine to spend some fun time with the cat, he felt glad and thankful. He knew it made Ace happy. 

In order for the boy not to sneak in order to play with Ace, the owners told him he is welcome to visit them whenever he wanted. Now Ace got used to the affection he’s getting from the boy so much that he is eagerly waiting for him to come. And when he does, Ace is rushing towards the door to greet his human friend. 

The video of the two buddies is so cute that it will show others to be more open to those that are a bit ‘different’ because we all need to be loved, no matter how we look on the outside. We are glad this boy’s parents taught him to never judge a book by its cover, and we hope others would learn from him. 

German Shepherd Finds A Home After Spending 2,381 Days In The Shelter

When Higgins, an adorable German Shepherd, was taken out of the shelter, the staff was glad their favorite resident found his forever home. Unfortunately, the puppy came back at his old place just a few days after his adoption, and everyone was aware his family didn’t give him the love he deserved. What’s most, they never contacted the shelter again, so Higgins was again looking for someone to take him in. 

Sadly, since that day, 2381 more have passed and sweet Higgins is still at the shelter. No one wanted to adopt him in the period of the six and a half years he spent at The Humane Society of Preble County in Ohio. 

The rejection he felt by all those people who walked in the shelter and got out with other puppies and dogs made poor Higgins feel unloved and unwelcome and that resulted in him staying at a lonely corner most of the days. 

The staff is aware that a family has to be found as soon as possible as cute Higgins isn’t getting any younger and senior dogs don’t get adopted that often.  

The staff is spreading the word of Higgins’ sad life story and is asking people to do the same until someone special comes along the dog’s way. 

Update: Once more people learned of Higgins, a man named Brendon Reed visited the shelter and was more than happy to adopt this German Shepherd. 

The two bonded instantly and became best of friends. We are so happy sweet Higgins got his happy ending. 

You can take a look at the moment he gets to his new fur-ever home in the video below. 

Starving Puppy Was Dumped In The Middle Of The Road In Chair And Too Afraid To Leave It To Find Food

This is yet another sad story of an abandoned dog and we can never understand those people who can do that to an animal they once cared for. 

This sweet pup was left at an illegal dumping place for old furniture along with a chair and a TV. 

The poor soul didn’t realize his owner dumped him along with the old stuff they no longer needed as it was obvious he was waiting for them to get back for him. 

Sharon Norton, an animal control officer was alerted of the pup on Monday morning and she headed towards the secluded place at Lincoln County, Mississippi where the animal was waiting to be taken back home. 

Although thirsty and starving, the dog refused to budge when Norton offered him food. 

“He looks like he’s been there for about a week,” Norton told The Dodo. “He is skin and bones.”

She was persistent and assured the puzzled animal that she was there to save him and take him to a nicer place. 

He quickly realized the woman was there to make things right and felt relieved although it was obvious he still missed whoever dumped him there. 

“He was very happy when I picked him up and carried him to the animal control truck,” Norton said. “I could feel his tail hitting my back, wagging. He knows he’s safe now.”

Norton took the dog at the vet’s and placed him at the Brookhaven Animal Rescue League in Mississippi where he is waiting for a better person than his previous owner to come along the way. 

This isn’t the first time for someone to do this to a loving pup, but Norton believes everyone who abandons their pet should be punished for their cruel actions. 

“I’m hoping somebody that recognizes the puppy and the recliner will put two and two together and send me a message to help me find the person that did this,” she said.

If you have never heard a sloth ‘speaking’, here’s your chance

We are all familiar with the sounds most animals make so listening to them ‘speaking’ isn’t really something that would make us laugh. Well, that’s unless our pets try to answer back to what we have to say, or if we are about to listen to some creatures ‘speak’ for the first time in our life. 

The video below will definitely put a smile on your face as it’s full of cute sloths which are making the funniest sounds ever. The person who posted it on YouTube is wondering what the fun animals have to say, and to be honest, we would like to know that too. 

Sloths are pretty unique creatures. They only eat leaves which is why they are not very energetic, but pretty slow. What is interesting about them is that they spend most of their days hanging on trees. 

Their slow movement, however, make it difficult for predators to spot them. Their fur is often covered in algae which adds to their camouflage, too. 

The below video is taken at the sloth sanctuary in Costa Rica and was shared so that people learn more about these pretty interesting creatures. 

Take a look at sloths talking and don’t forget to show this to your friends. 

Young Bulldog is Saved From the Basement of an Abandoned Cincinnati Home

The loud cries for help coming from a basement of a Cincinnati home made two of the neighbors go and check what was going on. After they reached the owner of the place, he allowed them to get inside only if they gave the dog he was keeping there some water.

When they entered the basement and saw the condition which the young Bulldog was living in, they were left shocked and heartbroken.

Gracie, the two-year-old dog was laying on the cold floor, obviously thirsty and starving. Her initial reaction when she saw the people entering the dark basement was to approach them and give them licks and kisses. That’s how much she needed someone to be there for her and show her some love.

“Her feet are caked in feces and her voice is hoarse from barking,” the rescuers wrote on Facebook. “She is absolutely desperate for attention and food (he feeds her by dumping a bag of food every few days) … but she is so sweet. Please … can any dog rescues take her?”

The post was shared all over the social media and it helped Queen City Bulldog Rescue (QCBR) learn of Gracie’s sad life story. They were more than willing to take her. The owner gave them the dog for $200. According to Chelsea Muenzer, founder of (QCBR), he didn’t want her any longer because she ‘wasn’t getting pregnant anymore.’

“She craved human touch!” Muenzer told The Dodo. “The moment we came in contact with her she immediately trusted us and I swear knew she was safe.”

This loving soul hasn’t lost her wish to live despite the ordeal she was forced to go through.

Gracie was looking forward to her new life and was so friendly that people couldn’t help but simply fall in love with her cute personality.

After she was given the so much needed medical help, Gracie was placed in a foster home. Her caretakers love her so much that it’s very likely she stays with them for good.

“She is living the cozy life right now,” Muenzer said. “She’s a newfound fan of cozy blankets, walks in the sunshine, playing with human kiddos, bubble baths and cookies.”

Although she now resembles a completely new dog, way happier and healthier, she still has a lot to learn. Whenever she needs to use the bathroom she runs towards the basement, because she has done it for so long. But her family is there to teach her all the new things as they make sure she progresses one step at a time.

Thankfully, the people who are in her life right now love her unconditionally.


Pharmacist Noticed a Stray Dog At Her Door and Knew She was in Need of Help

This is the inspiring story of a pharmacists from Turkey named Banu Cengiz, a huge dog lover and an animal advocate.

What she does for the street dogs of her hometown is beyond adorable, as she wouldn’t let any of them pass by her store without her giving them some food, water, and lots of love.

The dog she owns is a rescue dog itself, but she believes it’s not the only one who deserves to be shown compassion. This lovely lady always makes sure there is plenty of food in front of her pharmacy so that any dog in need could stop by and take a rest.

People know of her love for dogs and they only have nice words for Cengiz.

This time, however, one of the dogs that paid her a visit wasn’t there for the food only, but it was obvious the animal was in need of help.

“She was looking at me,” Cengiz told The Dodo. “I said, ‘Baby, is there a problem?'”

After she welcomed her in, Cengiz noticed there was a small cut on the poor creature’s paw.

She then took the time to clean it thoroughly and gave the dog some antibiotics. For the rest of the day, the sweet creature was Cengz’s guest and spent the time laying at the bed she has inside the store.

“When I was done, she laid down as if to thank me,” Cengiz said. “She was saying, ‘I trust you.'”

It was obvious the dog needed to rest, and Cengiz was more than happy to have her in.

Unfortunately, that was all this woman could do for the dog. Once she closed her store, the animal was again on the streets but at least she now knows where to go the next time she needs food, water, or help.

“Unfortunately, I couldn’t take her home,” Cengiz said “I’ve been dealing with street animals for years. I feed them and heal them, and help them find homes when I can.”

The strays of Cengiz’s hometown are lucky there is someone kind and compassionate like her who does the best she can for these cute animals.

“I do it because they feel. We need to help those who need it,” Cengiz said. “People should teach their children to love and respect animals and nature. Then we can all live together in a beautiful world.”

7-year-old girl left with severe burns after getting henna tattoo during vacation in Egypt

As parents, we only want the best for our children. Seeing them happy is what triggers our own happiness too. If they are in pain, that crushes our world, especially when we can’t do anything to prevent their suffering. 

For one dad from U.K, the pain his 7-year-old daughter experienced brought feelings of sadness and guilt because he was in some way ‘responsible’ for what had happened to the young girl.

During their family vacation in Egypt, the girl’s mom, 43-year-old Sylvia Gulliver experienced some health problems with her gaul bladder and had to be hospitalized for two days. During that time, both her kids behaved very well and as a reward their father decided to treat them with black henna tattoos. 

Unfortunately, this decision couldn’t be any worse, as it left the sweet daughter with severe blisters and burns on her hands. 

Madison’s brother, Sebastian, who is 9 years old got a tattoo too, but he washed his off as soon as he felt itching, while Madison kept hers until they arrived back home to the U.K. 

Soon after, the girl’s itching turned into a series of huge and painful blisters. The reason for this awful condition was the chemical used within the tattoo ink, paraphenylenediamine (PPD).

She was rushed at the medical unit for burns where the family was told how Madison could be left with scars for life. 

“She is potentially scarred for life after getting a black henna tattoo,” said Martins, as per the Daily Mail.

“The tattoo was done in the hotel’s salon and they claim it’s not the henna and that it’s my daughter’s skin. She has blisters from her finger to her elbow and is in so much pain. We were entirely unaware of the dangers and I think they should warn of this in the brochures.

“I think it’s partly my fault because I didn’t know about it, but also the fault of the salon because they are using dangerous chemicals on children. We would have thought that the travel agents would have had concerns about this.

“We want to get the message out to other people.”

It’s heartbreaking to see such young lady with so severe burns on her hands only because her father agreed for her to get the tattoo. These tattoos, however, are very famous and many tourists get them so he didn’t think they could be so dangerous. 

They are now spreading the word of their daughter’s story and hope others would think twice before getting one themselves, or putting one on their kids’ body. 

Man Builds High Fence to Prevent Dog From Escaping the Yard but Fails Miserably and Has Us All in Stitches

All of us who have ever owned a dog know just how much they love running around, playing fetch, and even chasing cats. Their cute antics always put big smiles on our faces and make our days. But, they can also be demanding at times, just as this overly excited pup named Stella. 

Her owner struggles to keep her inside the yard as she always finds a way to sneak out. This time he came up with what he believed was the perfect solution; a very high fence. 

He presented the dog with the brand new fence that was likely to prevent her from escaping ever again as he was recording the video for his YouTube channel saying, “I literally had JUST built this fence to keep Stella in the yard and was admiring it…” But, as it turned out, Stella always finds a way to make her plan of leaving the yard works. 

As she got closer to inspect her owner’s ‘new way’ of keeping her in, she just ran to the corner and jumped over the fence. Her owner started chasing after her as he left everyone who watched his video burst out laughing. 

This is definitely a must see!
