Acts of Human Kindness

Last year, Eldad and Audrey Hagar found Fiona -- sick, blind, flea-infested and covered in grime -- in a trash heap in South Los Angeles.

"She was just so defeated," said Eldad Hagar, who captured the rescue on video, said. "Blind, filthy, everything was going against her. There seemed to be no hope there."[...]

Deadly Destinations

"Habitats" made by humans may appeal to visitors who only look at them for a few minutes, but they're still cages for the animals who are forced to spend their whole lives in them. We buy our cotton candy and move on with our lives; the animals are there to stay. They are housed in cages that don't come close to the jungles, deserts, savannahs, and forests that are their natural homes. They have no choice in their diets, mates, or living companions. Every aspect of their lives is controlled and manipulated.
A few fleeting moments of distraction for humans mean a lifetime of misery for animals. If you care about animals, avoid animal exhibits like you would avoid poison ivy.[...]

Seal Slaughter

Today, Canada is allowing sealers in the Gulf of St. Lawrence to stalk baby seals across the ice, smash their heads in with clubs, ram hooks into their eyes or mouths, and drag them back to the boats, despite the fact that there's no market for the seal fur.

The hardest thing I've ever had to do

I have children...they each have 4 legs & a tail.  They are my heart & soul.  So, when I was faced with making the decision to put one of them to sleep...it broke my heart into pieces.  Lucky would have been 10 this year.  Nearly 10 years of unconditional love he gave us.  Seeing him try to battle this horrible Cancer was so hard to watch.  As I saw him begin to struggle, I knew the time to say goodbye was creeping up on me so soon.  I wasn't ready but, I knew Lucky was.  He looked at me with his beautiful brown eyes each time he struggled.  He was so brave & such a trooper trying to still please me while he felt pain & discomfort.  I am so grateful to have had Lucky in my life & for the dogs I have today.  I could not have gone through this with out the love & support of my amazing husband.  He keeps me strong. [...]

And God created dog

The Story of Adam & Eve's Pets…

Adam and Eve said, 'Lord, when we were in the garden, you walked with us every day. Now we do not see you any more. We are lonesome here, and it is difficult for us to remember how much you love us.'[...]

Inside Every Good Dog is A Great Dog

6D3rwe-386cPossibly the best commercial ever!

We can't forget the unconditional love each dog has to give.  They only need a chance to give it to someone. They are capable of bringing joy, friendship, support and much much more.  With out asking for anything back.[...]
