googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DTBT_ATF’); }); They say it’s a dog eat dog world when competition is fierce, but when you stop to consider that statement, it makes absolutely no sense. Dogs, after all, are some of the friendliest creatures around. They don’t care if you look weird or smell funny (that might actually be a bonus), […]
Brazillian biologist André Costa sometimes brings his work home with him (when you see what that work is, you’ll understand why). The animal lover brought together two animals who we usually assume to be natural enemies and instead discovered an unlikely friendship.

But if there’s one thing we know after watching this adorable video, it’s just how wrong those people are. Rolling around together, sleeping, and cuddling, […]
As humans, we tend to think of ourselves as superior beings. Because we have logical and emotional faculties that are almost excessively powerful, we look at humankind as the quintessential image of sentience. In reality, we’re far from alone when it comes to emotional intelligence. If you’ve ever brought a pet into your family, you’ve […]
If you don’t already believe that animals have emotions, then this story of two dogs will make you a believer. A stray Pitbull and a small Chihuahua lived a rough life together in Savannah, Georgia. They were found roaming the streets together, both of them in terrible condition. They were brought into a dog rescue […]

No matter how adorable, dangerous or strange animals are, there is one thing that is for certain: they are better than people. They don’t hold grudges, judge or condescend.
