Pictures of Your Animal Friends

This is the latest dog my sister rescued and is fostering. He's an itsy bitsy chihuahua and cute as can be. He can't use his front leg because it's deformed as are other parts of his body, that's probably the reason someone dumped him. He's going to a rescue for special needs dogs next week.

 
Bless your sister for fostering him...he's adorable! [emoji173]️
 
I had no idea where to put this, but it was too wonderful not to share. Sorry, it's also a bit sad.

Bentley is my rescued 9-month-old pot-bellied pig and resident of the sanctuary I founded, EARTH Animal Sanctuary. On Feb 23 a seizure left him in a state of shock and he was diagnosed with bacterial meningitis, potentially fatal. He was given only a ten percent chance to live and yet he survived against all odds, though the meningitis left him blind. He is still in the hospital recuperating from his most recent surgery, and once his wounds heal, we will be able to finally bring him home. Every day, Bentley teaches me to be strong and never to give up. Through all of this, he has been nothing but happy, working so hard to regain the neurological function he lost due to the brain swelling. His fight to survive and to conquer every obstacle in his path is awe-inspiring. He is so very loved, and I'm so incredibly grateful he chose me as his Mum.

To a tiny little blind pig, the hospital noises can be very scary, so on my trips to see him every day, I sing to him to comfort him and reassure him that he is loved and that everything is going to be ok. Like all pigs, Bentley is incredibly intelligent and affectionate, and responds to love just like any human child would. I miss him so much when I have to leave him there every day and I can't wait until he can finally come home.
 
Bentley, the pig in the above video, was finally well enough to go home a couple of days ago. And they think he got his sight back. :)
His owner was kissing him and crying, all the way to the car.

Jenn (the little torti) is just recovering from minor surgery she had last week. She had a little wart by the base of her ear removed (you can see the little bald spot from where they shaved).
