Recently, a police officer in Novo Horizonte, Brazil, spotted a neighbor’s dog rummaging through some trash, not a particularly unusual scene. However the afternoon took a turn when the officer returned home, finding the dog with something in her mouth.

Initially the officer thought the dog had found a dead kitten, but the truth was so much sweeter. This incredible dog had actually rescued a puppy who miraculously had survived her brief stint in the trash.

 

The canine savior started whining when the puppy was taken, so she was allowed to watch over him as the officer contacted a local animal rescuer, Marco Antonio Rodrigues, for help. Even though this dog saved the puppy’s life, another dog would be needed to help the tiny thing grow up strong.

 

 

Since the dog who had found the puppy wasn’t producing milk, an appeal was made on facebook to find a nursing dog to take the puppy in.

That’s when the little thing found her foster mom

Unfortunately the person who did this will probably never see justice, but for now we can rest easy, knowing this puppy is on her way to living her best life.

In 2008, a sweet 10 month old dog named Nora was rescued from deplorable conditions in a backyard breeding operation in Canada. Not only was she severely emaciated, she was also pregnant.

But with the help of her rescuers, Funds For Furry Friends, she was able to give birth to her puppies in a safe and caring environment, only two days after her escape.

Once her and her four puppies were strong enough, they were all put up for adoption and found loving forever homes. Nora especially found her people, fitting in perfectly to a family of five, bonding especially with the three children of her

Looking for a dog, ELizabeth Spence and her husband arranged to meet with Nora at her foster home, and immediately fell in love. Though she still showed signs of the trauma she endured, she bonded with the family quickly, especially the couple’s three young children.

Spence had no reason to believe Nora would ever see one of her puppies again, but received a call last year that changed the game. A family who had adopted one of Nora’s daughter’s could not longer keep her, and wanted to know if the Spence’s could take her in. Nora’s daughter, Remi, lived on a farm six hours aways, but her owners drove all the way to meet Nora and her owners in Winnipeg. And if there was any doubt that the Spences would take her in, Remi and Nora made it clear pretty almost immediately.

 

The two started playing as if they hadn’t spent a minute away from each other. And now they’ll never have to.

We all know that there’s no point in trying to keep true love a secret. And Kenobi the K-9 and his human partner Conservation Officer Levi Knach are living proof. Members of Indiana’s Department of Natural Resources (DNR) law enforcement agency, the two recently sat to get their portrait taken. The results? Adorable.

The results are simply adorable.

 

Luckily, they did manage to keep it together just long enough to get a professional photo

 

 

 

 

Surprising loved ones with a beautiful bouquet of flowers has been a long standing tradition amongst the more romantic types in our world. Naturally when a woman named Debbie Cardone had flowers delivered to her home, she assumed they were from her husband for her. It appears however, that she was mistaken.

“I thought they were for me at first, and then I read the card,” Cardone told website The Dodo. Her name wasn’t who the flowers were addressed to.

As it turns out they were for the couple’s beloved bulldog Sebastian.

 

This lucky pup seemed to appreciate the gesture, as he was still in recovery from having both of his knees operated on recently. Debbie’s husband works overseas, so he decided to send flowers along with words of encouragement.

 

 

While she probably would have preferred the flowers to be for her, she had to admit. It was pretty cute.

This is Hex, a very lucky little puppy.

Last October, when Hex was just a few months old, she was in a house fire that nearly took her life. When first responders from the Asheville Fire Department in North Carolina, found out she was trapped inside they rushed to her aid, giving her oxygen to bring her back from the brink of death.

Hex spent the next few months being treated for the sever burns she had suffered, and it was clear to staff at the Asheville Humane Society, and the Animal Hospital of North Asheville (AHNA), that this puppy is a fighter.

Hex was able to fully recover from her injuries thanks to the wonderful care she received, but no one could ever forget the first responders who saved her life, and the debt they were owed.

Earlier this month, Hex was visited by the firefighters who saved her in a ceremony honoring their heroism. Below is a video of the touching moment.

It’s unknown what life held for this greyhound before her life as a stray, but her story as we know it is incredibly sweet. Struggling to survive with a broken leg, it was clear that there was one thing keeping her going.

Veterinarian Ellen Sobry met the dog last Saturday, after her friend, Lianne, found her scavenging in a market in Vera, Spain.

Vera, as the dog herself is now named, wasn’t just emaciated and malnourished, one of her legs was also fractured. Most crucially though, Ellen noticed that Vera was lactating — an indication that she’d recently birthed a litter of puppies.

 

Ellen and Lianne felt a strong conviction to save the puppies, but having no idea where they were, decided to begin where they had first found Vera, which is where the adventure began. Once at the market, Vera started to lead them further and further …

 

“We followed her for over 3km, [and] ended up somewhere in the [countryside of] Vera,” Ellen wrote online.

Vera then led them to an abandoned car, inside of which, were “10  little lives waiting for their mum”

The little family is now healing all together, safe and sound.

As rescue crews in Italy continue the search for nearly two dozen people missing in the ruins of a hotel buried by a powerful avalanche last week, hopes have been renewed that more victims could be found alive.

 

 

Five days after the deadly avalanche hit the Rigopiano Hotel, search and rescue teams discovered three puppies who had been trapped inside the rubble alive and well.

 

 

The animals had been found inside the boiler room of the hotel, after breaking through a wall in order to access it. It’s unsure if any puppies or people remain trapped, the discovery of these puppies could indicate other survivors who are still alive.

It comes as no surprise that discovery of the puppies has helped raise the spirits of the rescue workers considerably, providing not only a small bit of joy, but also encouragement and hope for more survivors.

Incredibly the puppies’ story gets even better, as it is revealed that their parents also survived the avalanche, having been swept away to a nearby town.
