All The Good In The World
Every dog has his day. For a shelter dog in Arizona, that day has come, as he lands a starring role in the upcoming Disney live-action remake of “Lady and the Tramp.”
Monte, a 2-year-old terrier mix, was at HALO Animal Rescue in Phoenix with hundreds of other dogs.
Shelter workers noted that Monte was super friendly, loved to greet people and give kisses, and loved attention.
So, when animal trainers came scouting from Hollywood, Monte was a perfect fit to play the “Tramp”.
A woman in the UK is helping dogs spend their final days feeling as happy and loved as possible.
Nicola Coyle was a volunteer at a kennel when she started taking some of the dogs home, most of which were strays in order to save them from being put down. Today, she runs the Grey Muzzle Canine Hospice Project from her home in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, where she provides end of the line care for both abandoned and terminally ill dogs which are given less than six months to live.
Khemjira Klongsanun was only seven miles into a marathon in Ratchaburi, western Thailand when she noticed other participants were running around an anxious little puppy on the side of the road. Noticing that there were no houses, people or other dogs in the vicinity she decided to stop and check on the puppy. The puppy, a bangkaew (Thai wolf dog) was trembling and alone, but she managed to coax him over to her.
In December of 2018, photographer Wesley White went to Thatch Caye in Belize for a work trip. With very little free time on his hands, Wesley was looking forward to kayaking to a tiny island in Thatch Caye. When he arrived at the island, he noticed that there was a puppy walking into a deserted fishing shack. “Out of the corner of my eye, I saw his tail wagging,” Wesley said during an interview with The Dodo. Sadly, the dog was starving to death, and would soon perish if Wesley didn’t do something to help.
Cala was a guard dog at a mechanic’s shop near San Jose, Costa Rica. The mechanic never took her to the vet when she got sick, nor did he feed her on a daily basis. She was malnourished to the point where she couldn’t stand on her own feet and when she sat down, the short chain around her neck kept her from putting her head on the floor. Cala’s health grew increasingly worse and she even started having trouble breathing. If help didn’t come soon, Cala was going to die.
This large dog with beautiful green eyes was rescued from the woods outside of Rio de Janeiro. He weighed just 28 pounds and had a huge, gaping wound in his rear. His bone was exposed and he could barely walk from the pain.
