										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This dog is named Lucky for a good reason.</p>
<p>A border patrol agent found this stray struggling to survive in the brutal heat of the Arizona desert near the Mexico border.</p>
<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter  wp-image-13997" src="http://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/DesertLuckyPic.jpg" alt="" width="650" height="323" srcset="https://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/DesertLuckyPic.jpg 632w, https://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/DesertLuckyPic-300x149.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px" /></p>
<p>In addition to the sweltering climate, the poor Coonhound had a strange mark on his forehead.</p>
<p>The border agent wasn&#8217;t quite sure what it was, so he brought the dog to a shelter in Bisbee and that&#8217;s when a vet ran some X-Rays.</p>
<p>The results were astounding!</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-13977" src="http://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/LuckyBulletPic.jpg" alt="" width="650" height="386" srcset="https://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/LuckyBulletPic.jpg 635w, https://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/LuckyBulletPic-300x178.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px" /></p>
<p>The mark on the dog&#8217;s head was actually a bullet hole! Amazingly enough, Lucky had survived being shot directly in the head, and the vet was just awestruck.</p>
<p>Said Michael Moorefield of the Arizona Animal Welfare League:</p>
<p>“<strong><em>It was a big 9mm and he had been shot between the eyes and that was the mark and it embedded itself in his jaw.</em></strong>&#8221;</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-13982" src="http://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/LuckyFBPic.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="493" srcset="https://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/LuckyFBPic.jpg 492w, https://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/LuckyFBPic-300x296.jpg 300w, https://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/LuckyFBPic-100x100.jpg 100w, https://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/LuckyFBPic-80x80.jpg 80w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></p>
<p>What a terrible thing for any animal to endure!</p>
<p>Incredibly, though, Lucky appeared largely unaffected by the horrendous injury and after the vet removed the bullet from Lucky&#8217;s jaw, the pup was ready for adoption.</p>
<p>And Lucky is in plenty good spirits, too.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter  wp-image-13999" src="http://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/LuckyPic3.jpg" alt="" width="650" height="365" srcset="https://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/LuckyPic3.jpg 636w, https://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/LuckyPic3-300x168.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px" /></p>
<p>“<strong><em>It’s so unbelievable that a dog that has gone through so much has this extremely uplifting personality</em></strong>,” said Moorefield.</p>
<p>Lucky just runs right up and greets everyone he sees; that&#8217;s how friendly he is!</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s hoping that wherever Lucky goes, he&#8217;ll get the love and respect he so richly deserves. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When Paris Zarcilla, a UK-based filmmaker, got up one morning, he didn&#8217;t know his life would change forever.</p>
<p>But animals have a way of surprising us, especially when we least expect to encounter a furry friend!</p>
<p>Paris had stepped into his room to snag a sweater, and that&#8217;s when he thought he heard a noise coming from under his bed.</p>
<p>He got down on all fours and peered beneath the bed, and he couldn&#8217;t believe his eyes:</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">So&#8230; I JUST FOUND A CAT THAT IS NOT MINE AND IT HAS HAD BABIES UNDER MY BED. <a href="https://t.co/83ktBHGgT5">pic.twitter.com/83ktBHGgT5</a></p>
<p>&mdash; Paris Zarcilla (@ParisZarcilla) <a href="https://twitter.com/ParisZarcilla/status/1001748442119593984?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 30, 2018</a></p></blockquote>
<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>There was a mamma cat and four newborn kittens!</p>
<p>But the incredible part is that Paris wasn&#8217;t a pet owner; the mamma was a stray and somehow, she had found her way into Paris&#8217; home and given birth in a nice cozy spot.</p>
<p>The stunned filmmaker wasn&#8217;t sure how it happened but he immediately felt something he&#8217;d never experienced before:</p>
<p>A wave of parental responsibility.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Cancelling all my plans. Crawling under the bed to spend the rest of the day with my four new children. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/newdad?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#newdad</a></p>
<p>&mdash; Paris Zarcilla (@ParisZarcilla) <a href="https://twitter.com/ParisZarcilla/status/1001759810117947392?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 30, 2018</a></p></blockquote>
<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>Paris shared his consternation and new emotions on <a href="https://twitter.com/ParisZarcilla" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter</a>, and this resulted in a series of adorable updates that are absolutely inspiring in every way.</p>
<p>This man knew exactly what he was going to do the instant he saw the little furry family, and it didn&#8217;t involve shelters or calling around to see if anyone wanted a cat and four kittens.</p>
<p>Nope, Paris instantly committed himself to becoming their caretaker, though he does intend to take the mamma cat to the vet to see if she has a microchip.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Cuteness update: I&#39;m dying. <a href="https://t.co/fJWUVnlNKh">pic.twitter.com/fJWUVnlNKh</a></p>
<p>&mdash; Paris Zarcilla (@ParisZarcilla) <a href="https://twitter.com/ParisZarcilla/status/1001773937980735493?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 30, 2018</a></p></blockquote>
<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>If she doesn&#8217;t, he&#8217;s perfectly willing to be the little family&#8217;s permanent protector. And you know, he doesn&#8217;t view it as a chore or a burden.</p>
<p>Rather, he sees it as the perfect opportunity to do something amazing for a four-legged friend and as he said on Twitter, &#8220;I am so ready to be a dad right now.&#8221;</p>
<p>This is what good people do when innocent creatures cross their path:</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">I feel like the veil of the universe is being lifted slightly. Like, I feel high. Is this what it feels like to have a child? I think I&#39;m falling in love. Fuck. <a href="https://t.co/0ObNMNt4vC">pic.twitter.com/0ObNMNt4vC</a></p>
<p>&mdash; Paris Zarcilla (@ParisZarcilla) <a href="https://twitter.com/ParisZarcilla/status/1001794954379788288?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 30, 2018</a></p></blockquote>
<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>They assume responsibility and make sure the animal is cared for.</p>
<p>So Paris Zarcilla gets three huge cheers for his efforts! <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f600.png" alt="😀" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">To my cat sons and daughters, I&#39;ll be the hero you deserve, but not the one it needs right now (because of mama cat). So I&#39;ll hunt for you, because I can afford it. I&#39;ll be your silent guardian, your watchful protector. Love, <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/CatDad?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#CatDad</a> <a href="https://t.co/JkaUpGzXCP">pic.twitter.com/JkaUpGzXCP</a></p>
