We Love Animals
The Stray Rescue of St. Louis posted a letter they received from a woman asking them to find a home for her dog, Shell. The letter read,
To Stray Rescue:
I am writing you cause I need you to take my dog, Shell…I’ve been fighting cancer for a few months and if you’re reading this I lost my battle. I need for my baby girl to be taken care of in a home…In these days all I do is worry about what’s going to happen to her. I love this girl, she is my daughter.
Orawan Kaewla-iat, a resident of Thailand, has made it a habit of feeding the strays dogs in her neighborhood everyday.
One day, a dog she named Tua Plu and his mom began appearing at her house. To Orawan’s surprise, before Tua Plu began eating, he always presented her with a present.
After spending 500 days in an animal shelter, A 5-year-old pit bull mix was finally adopted just in time for Christmas.
Bonita was the shelter’s longest resident and was adopted by a local man named Ray Kinz. To celebrate the adoption, the Niagara County SPCA decided to record her excitement.
In 2013, A UPS employee named Sean McCarren created a Facebook group called ‘UPS Dogs‘, to pay tribute to all the four legged friends that make UPS driver’s shifts a lot joyful. And to no one surprise, it has become an internet sensation. UPS Dogs currently has over 1.4M likes on Facebook and 488K followers on Instagram
McCarren told HuffPost:
‘When you’re running into dogs all the time, it creates a bond when you see them every day,””It’s cool to meet some of the same dogs on the route, because they know who you are and they are excited to see you.”
Andrew Taylor of New Zealand’s South Island grew frustrated with the local dog park’s lack of good throwing sticks, so the 59-year-old decided to take matter in his own hands and create a ‘Stick Library’ for all the local pups to enjoy.
Taylor came up with the idea when he was trimming trees by his house and asked himself what he could do with all of the leftover branches.
He pruned and smoothed each branch into the perfect sized dog stick and put them all into a crate. The box’s engraving reads: “Stick Library – please return.”
26-year-old Bali native Rico Soegiarto was walking home from work one day when he spotted a dangerously malnourished dog. The pup he saw was almost a skeleton, and was in such bad she had bald spots, and was so thin you could see her bones through her diseased skin. She didn’t have long left to live. Despite her condition however, her brilliant blue eyes still shone bright and Rico knew that he had to give the neglected pup a second chance
Rico shared, “I don’t know what was special about her. It’s about heart and feeling. I found her when I was on the way back home from work, she was in the middle of the street.”
Eclipse is a black Labrador retriever mix and a regular on the D-Line through Seattle’s Queen Anne neighborhood.
“All the bus drivers know her. She sits here just like a person does,” fellow rider Tiona Rainwater told KOMO. “She makes everybody happy. How could you not love this face?”
It all started one day at the bus stop, when her owner, Jeff Young, took too long to finish his cigarette. Upon the arrival of the bus, Eclipse hopped in without him, and just got off to the park where they were headed together. Eclipse enjoys the bus-riding so much she took her solitary trips to the park almost every day since then, meeting her owner later on directly at the park.
