Dogs are such kind animals. They show a deep sense of compassion towards all their fellow creatures and it’s something that we could definitely all learn from in terms of kindness. Dogs are also known to get along with cats, despite the myth that the two animals are sworn enemies. My dog was a huge fan of the family’s cats. And she definitely would do anything she could to keep them safe. But it wasn’t just the cats that she cared for. Our dog’s kindness extended to any animal in need that she encountered – whether it was baby birds falling

Most animals clean themselves by licking their fur coats. This includes our dogs. I’m sure many of us dog owners have spent more time than we’d like to admit just observing our pups partake in their lengthy bathing rituals. They can sometimes get quite intense with their bath times, but sometimes our dogs can get downright weird. Have you ever stopped to notice that your dog isn’t necessarily cleaning themselves anymore, but they’re just licking air? This action, while seemingly bizarre is quite normal behavior. However, if it goes on for no apparent reason it can turn into a compulsive

Dogs are wonderful companions for all kinds of people. They are great companions for older people who may be alone. They make fantastic playmates for children. They are excellent additions to family households. And they also make trustworthy and loyal partners in different lines of work. Either way, dogs are wonderful and there is always something positive to glean from having a dog.  For one former US Navy SEAL, the relationship that he shared with his dog was something that meant everything to him. Mike Ritland shared a strong bond with his beloved dog, Carlos. The two of them had

They say that the essence of who we are was written in the stars long before we were born. That is how you get practices like astrology as people like to try to make sense of what has supposedly already been preordained by the universe. But it seems that for one adorable little corgi pooch, the essence of who he is can be found on the tip of his nose.  Like many other Corgi dogs, Wallace is a fluffy little love bug. However, he’s got a unique and distinctly defining feature: a heart-shaped mark on his nose. And this little

Meet Freddy the Great Dane! This big boy has officially taken the title of the world’s tallest dog, and as a result, has recently received a Guinness World Records certificate to seal the deal. Claire Stoneman, Freddy’s owner, always knew that Freddy was going to be taller than other Great Danes, but she had no idea that he would end up growing to be the tallest dog in the world! And like all pet moms, she’s incredibly proud of Freddy and loves him so much, happily accommodating his large stature. Since he’s an astonishing 7 feet and 6 inches, Claire

All dogs deserve loving and happy homes where they can live out their lives. For the lucky ones, they have a family that loves them and cares for them. Unfortunately, not every dog has a family that cares for them. Many that don’t have a place to call home end up all alone in shelters. What is even sadder is that many of these pets will end up spending the duration of their lives on their own. But there are lots of pets out there in need of homes. And there is one organization, the Pets for the Elderly, who is

Everyone knows that dogs are the best companions. They are warm, friendly, and loyal, but sometimes they do have their flaws. Unfortunately for some dogs, timing isn’t their strong suit. And that can sometimes ruin certain special occasions, such as weddings. All couples dream of their perfect day where everything runs smoothly, but for one couple, their beloved pup ended up being a literal party pooper during the biggest day of their lives. For Kat Kenny and her husband, their wedding day was eclipsed by their Great Dane, Freya. The couple chose to have their pup join them on their

Dachshunds were bred to be viciously little hunting dogs, capable of tunneling their long bodies down different animals’ burrows. Small, but definitely mighty, these canines have a long history of being used as gaming dogs. But there is one adorable little Dachshund who is using his hunting skills for something other than tracking and capturing game.  Jake has proven himself quite good at sniffing out loose change. This precious pup seems to have made his small stature a major advantage in the hunt for loose change. Given that he’s already so close to the ground, he has the convenience of being

Dogs are absolutely resilient creatures who won’t let anything bring them down. They will smile in the face of any adversity. It’s quite rare to see a dog down in the dumps. Even when they are sick or injured, they eventually turn things around. It’s always inspiring to see just how dogs with disabilities manage to live their lives to the fullest. And one adorable pup named Stevie proved that he doesn’t let his condition get him down. Stevie is a yellow lab living with the rare condition known as cerebellar hypoplasia, which is a neurological disorder that attacks the

What do dogs and grandmas have in common? They both can make for adorably nosy neighbors. Where I’m currently living in Ireland, I’ve got an older couple and their dog living cattycorner to me. Whenever it’s sunny in the morning, the elderly lady and her dog will often sit outside in their back garden to take the sun. I can see into their back garden from my second-story office space, so I’ve come to observe this hilarious ritual that the two share. Whenever someone either walks by, or there is an unfamiliar commotion going on, the two of them will
