Well done Jess for saving the pooch from drowning. How can people be so reckless by leaving a small dog near a pool for over 30 minutes?

Jessie, a rescue adopted from the SPCA in Boksburg four years ago, ran to the edge of the pool and — after trying for 34 minutes — eventually managed to pull the flailing Toy Pom out of the water by using her teeth.

This is really appalling that the criminal in question doesn't even get a prison sentence, for murdering an animal in the most horrific manner!
Such a vile person who murdered an innocent animal in the most atrocious and cruel way should have gone to prison for a very long time. I hope that she is shamed by all of those who know her!

WICHITA – A Kansas woman was sentenced Wednesday for breaking into a Wichita home and killing her ex-boyfriend's dog with a baseball bat, reportedly in a jealous rage.

Bella's mum sent me a pic of 2 dogs that belong to local hunters. They are left 24h in a confined enclosure and nobody
bothers to care for them once the hunting season is over.
My friend gave them some treats and they took them into their tiny
shed to eat them. They seemed to be frightened of humans.
She said that they looked really scared. I'm not surprised as hunters abuse them and are also cruel to them.

I wish that her friend who has an animal shelter could kidnap them.

Mark Hill MBE with his new training partner Phez the Pheasant.​

You can see this gorgeous pheasant running alongside Mark Hill whilst he's training. The animal has done this
several times during the last few weeks and apparently waits for Mark to come running down the path before joining him.

Animals are so amazing !

the video below is funny. its also not PG. there is one line that makes it notable.

That's where you're wrong. You should only own an animal that would otherwise been slaughtered if it wasn't for you. They'll respect you more knowing you're the only thing between them and a gas chamber.

Getting to Know Gobi

The Australian ultrarunner Dion Leonard found his four-footed trail-running pal not in the local shelter, nor at a breeder, nor online on a dog rescue site. He found her, instead, in one of the most inhospitable places on earth: China’s gargantuan, 500,000-square-mile Gobi Desert. Leonard has...

This gorgeous boy has made so much progress since he was rescued from that awful zoo in Pakistan. Apparently the sanctuary in Cambodia is in
need of funds to build him a much larger enclosure.

Adorable Bella who thinks she's a dog, has just given birth to a gorgeous girl yesterday. She is utterly amazing and you can follow her story on FB:

Baby Bella was taken into care by farmer’s wife Gilly Chippendale, after she was rejected first by her birth mother and then by several other ewes when she was a newborn lamb.

Gilly added: ‘Bella certainly doesn’t believe she’s a sheep. She’s never recognised herself as a sheep, she’s inquisitive but frightened of other sheep. ‘It’s very funny to see her walk past other sheep on our walks acting very aloof. She even runs away from sheep if they follow her.
