It’s devastating to learn that senior dogs are the least desirable age group for adoptions. People usually want puppies or young dogs – canines they could shape as they wish. Rarely does anyone decide to give a senior dog a second chance. Little do they know that adopting a senior dog means putting the gold…
No bark, growl, or bite is as nearly as hurtful as human cruelty. Dogs might behave that way instinctively when they sense a threat, but humans most often hurt these animals on purpose simply because they can. As if leaving a family dog isn’t hurtful enough, some people go even further by leaving pups in…

“Only 1 in 600 Pitbulls will find a home.” – Animal People This is a devastating statistic that I came across while doing some more in-depth research.

Although I strongly believe that dogs can be friends with pretty much any other animal, sometimes that friendship just doesn’t work. We’ve seen tons of unusual animal friendships. Sometimes, dogs are buddies with cats, and sometimes with wild animals like deer. But, I have never seen a dog that became friends with a bee. This…

Animals can create strong bonds just like humans, even if they don’t belong to the same species. That’s why it’s not a surprise to see different kinds of animals playing or eating together.

Some dogs carry markings on their coat, but not Wallace. From the moment he was born, everyone knew he would become a special little Corgi. Was it his sweet soul that told him off, or was it his special marking on his nose? A little bit of both, I’d say. Wallace is an exceptional puppy…

Ah, dogs can be such rule breakers! Well, they’re still better than cats and much more polite. At least when dogs want to disobey you, they do it with class.

Thousands of dogs run away from home every day, but getting them back to where they belong is sometimes a true miracle!

Puppy mills… the dark spot in our existence as humans. I feel like there are so many ways of harassment, neglect, violence, and genuinely bad deeds done these days.
