googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DTAT_ATF’); }); I’m always amazed by the dogs that run flawlessly through an agility course. My awe is mostly because my dog only comes or sits when she really wants to. Another reason for my amazement is that they aren’t distracted by anything. For most pups, the allure of bacon, a squirrel, or […]
When we think of stray cats, our minds often fill with montages of sad, ragged animals set to the tune of depressing Sarah McLachlan music. (Thanks, ASPCA.) But the stray kitties seen through Japanese photographer Masayuki Oki‘s lens are anything but. Although shining a light on the plight of stray animals is crucial, it’s arguably […]
Not all people are into little dogs. Not all people are into big dogs. But all people are into adorable dogs. It’s basically science, and if you’ve spent more than 25 seconds on social media since the dawn of the Internet, you’ve probably noticed that the world can’t get enough of pomeranians and their bafflingly […]
They might not look it, but lions are really just big kittens at heart. Don’t believe us? Well, these females at the Oregon Zoo are about to show you. While they generally spend their days lazing around (sound familiar?), being fed at the same time, and never fearing for their safety, these beautiful lions still […]
It seems so easy to tell when our dogs have done something wrong. They won’t look at you with their big, sad eyes and they slink around the house. It seems that guilty dogs act just like toddlers, completely and totally conscious of the fact that they’ve done something we won’t like. As it turns […]
Most of us are probably a lot more protective of our food than we’d like to admit. Whenever I bring a tasty treat home and my loved ones try to steal more than a bite, I get pretty testy and make it obvious that I’m less than pleased with their attempt at poaching my meal. […]
After this lioness was gored by a buffalo, she was left with a gaping wound. Incredibly, rescuers saved her life by performing emergency surgery right in the middle of the African Savanna. What’s more, they also saved the life of her cubs. The 11-year-old lioness had given birth just weeks before receiving the near-fatal wound. […]
There’s a mosque in Istanbul, Turkey, that takes in any and all visitors. No matter who they are, all visitors are encouraged to come in and stay a while — even if they’re stray cats. Why? Because Imam Mustafa Efe believes in offering generosity to all creatures in need, human or otherwise. It’s no wonder […]
googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DTAT_ATF’); }); While some dogs may not want to get wet after a storm, treading lightly as they go about looking for a place to play, this beautiful German shepherd does the exact opposite. In fact, he doesn’t just walked through puddles. He goes all out and turns wet parks into puppy playgrounds! […]
googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DTBT_ATF’); }); A lot of parents tell their kids that if they want a dog, they’ll have to take care of it. But this dad? He really, really meant it. In fact, he was so serious about his desire to not have a big, slobbery, stinky, poorly behaved dog that he drew up […]
