Dog Secret Exposed: Why Santa Never Came to my House Last Year

For almost a year I thought I’d unknowingly done something terrible that left an empty floor under my tree last Christmas morning.

My neighbor just came clean and has captured the real truth in this 8 inch sculpture.  Embarrassingly, that… would be my dog.

My apologies to anyone else on my street that didn’t get any gifts last year 🙂

This $8 decoration from Collections Etc explains it all!  Sure to bring some holiday cheer to any dog lover!

IOL News reports “one of the worst reported cases of animal abuses in Cape Town yet” has had a miracle ending.

Warrior
Rescue teams work feverishly to dig Warrior from under 1.5 meters of dirt

This photo from the Mdzanada Animal Clinic and IOL News shows rescuers have cleared about about a meter of dirt, revealing the dog’s head after receiving an anonymous tip.

Rescuers have aptly named the ever fighting pooch “Warrior”.

Two men have been arrested yesterday. Warrior is reportedly fine and in good condition.

A Dog’s Heart as Big as an Elephant

 

Bella and Tarra
Bella and Tarra

Dogs love us unconditionally– no matter age, disability, rich or poor. 

But, to share a companion 8,000 pounds her senior for eight years truly shows us what dogs, and elephants can teach us.

On October 26 Bella, companion to Tarra, an 8,000 pound elephant in Tennessee, died.  They made world headlines together, and featured on CBS for their amazing ability to share their lives together in food, drink, play and sleep… and in the end, what seems like amazing compassion.

Check out the story of this amazing pair of Beaty and…the Beauty.

Pit Bull Shows Lassie Behavior

When an Atlanta man tried to leave his home one morning for work, he was stopped by a Pit Bull, but it’s not what you think.  This Pit Bull is actually a hero!  It seems the dog had found the man’s wife after a brain aneurysm caused her to fall and fracture her skull. The dog has now won the “Neighbor of the Year” award from the Vintage Pointe Neighborhood Association, the first dog ever to be so honored.  Check out the video from CBS Atlanta.

Until next time,

Good day, and good dog!
