Leaving your dogs or cats alone near a Christmas tree is usually a terrible idea. They knock things down, eat things they shouldn’t, and generally cause chaos. But not these pups! Just watch what they do. Saying “Merry Christmas” or “Happy PAW-idays” was never so adorable! If only my dogs knew how to trim a […]
googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DTBT_ATF’); }); There’s a widely-used expression that goes a little something like, “The love between a mother and her child is forever.” These words couldn’t be any more true. My mother is my best friend and most trusted confidant. I can’t imagine living in a world without her. Sure, at times she drives […]
Dog rescues always bring a tear to my eye, but this one is particularly special. Without the help of kind humans, the L.A. Fire Department, and a microchip, this injured mastiff would have likely died. Luckily, her story has a very different ending. The terrified pup was first spotted by a tourist Santa Monica, California. […]
I’ve always been a fan of prison programs that help inmates become better people instead of just locking them up. This isn’t to say that there aren’t prisoners who need to remain behind bars for violent offenses, but many people who are put away just need structure and a little help to become productive members […]
When Little Thomas was found by the Vancouver Island Dogs Rescue Society, he had a severe case of mange. It was so bad that his skin was just sloughing off and his body’s immune system was extremely weak. The society stepped in immediately to save him. By using the combination of medicated baths, medicine and […]
Life for Tumbles the two-legged puppy just got a little less ruff. His caretakers at the Friends of the Shelter Dogs in Athens, Ohio, recently outfitted the pint-sized pooch with a custom-made 3-D printed wheelchair. Watch the moment that Tumbles takes his first wobbly steps with his new wheels. (function(d, s, id) { var js, […]
As a huge fan of sleep, I’ve carefully studied the various degrees of being tired we all experience over the years. On one side there’s the normal, end-of-the day fatigue, and on the other, there are those times when you realize you accidentally binge-watched an entire season of a show until 4:00 a.m. Even though […]
Disaster struck in Brazil last Thursday when two mining dams collapsed, unleashing gallons of mud into the small town of Bento Rodrigues. Several townspeople are dead and even more are missing, but as rescuers quickly learned, humans weren’t the only ones devastated by the disaster. While looking for survivors, firefighters came across a dog that […]
Mighty Mutts in Toronto, Canada, provides training for dogs looking to join the canine work force or rehabilitate bad behavior. They also board rescue pups, most saved from death row at other shelters, but the facility has limited space. This sweet girl named Lana was brought in about a year ago when she was just […]

The one thing I won’t let them do, though, is lick near my mouth…because obviously, that’s just gross. […]
