That’s all I can say after watching this video!

It’s amazing how a video so simple and with no words, can cause such emotion in me.

The woman sees a stray pup by the road who obviously needs lots of help. She gives him some treats, brings him to a vet, and gets him all cleaned up at the groomers. She even takes him to go pick out his favorite toys.

The two look so happy together!

Then she sees it — the sign.

I instantly started crying when I watched this omg its so good!

Check it out before I spoil anymore…

Now this may not be a “real” video per-say, but it still made me cry like it was. The reason being, I’ve had this exact situation happen to me years ago. It’s about the sweetest and most heart-breaking thing that can happen to you.

At least he’s back home now though with his original owner and partner.

What a sweet video, we need more love and compassion in the world like this.

The post Woman Rescues Dog From The Street – Then She Discovers The Sad Truth About The Pup appeared first on Addicting Stories.

They’ll often hear a thunderstorm approaching long before we do.

Some dogs have been trained to sniff out illnesses like cancer. Others can sense when their person is about to have a seizure and alert them before it hits.

Other dogs are so in tune with humans and recognize the varying tones of our voices that it seems uncanny.

This is the story of one such dog and how his alert nature saved a man’s life.

Zeus was a three-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier living with his human family in Perth, Australia.

(What a CUTIE!)

His owner, Mick Condo, noticed that Zeus was behaving strangely in the backyard one day but he didn’t think too much about it.

He simply assumed that Zeus had seen another animal or something else that had distracted him.

Despite Condo’s efforts, Zeus would not stop obsessing over a particular area of the fence between Condo’s yard and that of his 96-year-old neighbor.

That’s when Condo realized that something wasn’t right.

Condo and Zeus approached the fence and heard a man on the other side.

“He was whimpering and carrying on at the fence, so I went to see what the issue was,” Condo told PerthNow. Condo was shocked by what he found.

“Help me, I think I’ve broken my hip I’ve been lying here for two days,” his neighbor cried out. The 96-year-old man had fallen onto a concrete floor on his patio.

“I ran out the front and got a couple of young fellas to help and then we went and bashed in the gate so we could get in,” Condo said.

Condo’s neighbor was dehydrated and had a broken hip. He was taken to a local hospital where he reportedly made a full recovery.

Condo believes that Zeus’s actions saved the man’s life.

“He [the neighbor] kept saying that he couldn’t have made it through another night,” Condo said.

Zeus’s heroism was rewarded with a steak dinner.

“He’s a class dog, just incredible, such a lovable dog,” Condo said.

What an incredible    story!

The post Dog is frantically whimpering at the neighbor’s fence – Thank God it wasn’t too late appeared first on Addicting Stories.

The words have been in the headlines a lot recently with the flooding, storms, and fires endangering the lives of so many around the US this past year.

Sometimes animals need rescuing simply because they’ve gotten themselves into a predicament and need someone with opposable thumbs to get them out of it.

Animal rescue meant something very different to a tiny month-old human baby that was abandoned by his mother somewhere on the streets of Argentina.

It was a bitter-cold night and he didn’t have much of a chance of survival.

That is until someone came to his rescue. And his rescuer came in a form you might never expect!

This time it wasn’t a human that was rescuing an animal from an uncertain fate, but an animal that was actually doing the rescuing.

Proving that maternal instincts definitely cross a species barrier, a stray dog named Way saved the baby’s life that cold winter night.

Way had given birth herself recently. When she was out foraging for food to keep up her strength to keep her babies fed she happened to hear the cries of the abandoned child.

Her maternal instincts, already in full swing, kicked into full gear and she went into savior mode. She brought her puppies to the child, then curled her body around all of them and kept them warm and well fed through the night.

In the morning light, local resident Alejandra Griffa heard the baby’s cries and searched until she found the nest the mother dog had made for her human and canine babies. Griffa immediately rushed the baby to the hospital.

Despite the bitter cold of the night, the baby suffered no ill effects. His 33-year-old mother was detained by authorities.

We hope that with the newfound fame brought about by the discovery of her generous and compassionate action the dog described in Argentinian media reports as being “just a dog” has found a home with someone who will realize what a treasure they have.

She definitely deserves the label of “someone’s pet.”

We also hope her puppies fared as well as the human child, who reports say is thriving.

Of course, they’d have a much better chance at pulling that off with a helping hand.

Such was the case for a pair of abandoned dogs that had taken up refuge in a house in Los Angeles that was in shambles.

Thankfully, a concerned neighbor would give rescue group Hope For Paws a call to come check it out.

Rescuers would arrive at the severely run-down house, and they would go on to learn the stunning truth from neighbors.

The dog’s owners had moved out six months ago, and they left the poor animals behind to fend for themselves.

One of the neighbors was able to get one of the dogs to come home with her, but the other wanted nothing to do with human contact.

The pooch, named Flash, would take off under the house whenever someone approached.

That left the rescue workers with quite a predicament on their hands, but they were able to devise a plan to get him to take the proverbial bait in a doggie cage.

He would try to take off again from that point, but the rescuers were able to calm him down and place a leash around his neck.

Flash was coaxed back into the cage and finally brought to safety.

An organization known as Sunny Day Acres stepped in to help, and Flash showed a remarkable transformation after being around folks that loved him.   

Soon thereafter, Flash was adopted by a loving forever home.

Hats off to all involved for giving Flash a much better shot at the game of life.

This amazing German Shepherd falls into that category, as he knew exactly what to do when trouble broke out.

Ben Heinrichs from Caswell Lakes in Alaska was doing some vehicle maintenance in a shop outside of his family’s home.

A spark from a heater led to a fire, and it quickly got out of hand.

Heinrichs himself caught on fire, but he was able to extinguish himself in the snow.

His trusted companion Buddy was right there by his side, and Ben remarked that they needed to get some help.

That was all he needed to say, as Buddy set out to make that happen.

The pooch set off down the road and ran into an Alaskan State trooper.

As luck would have it, the officer was responding to a call about the fire, but he couldn’t find the place because his GPS had frozen.

Buddy was on the case, and he led the officer back to the home. The dog took off like a shot once he got the officers attention, but he kept looking back to make sure he was still following him.  

The officer was absolutely following his lead, and the dog’s amazing actions led to the fire finally being extinguished.

Buddy would later be rewarded for his good deeds with a metal bowl that featured his name and the troopers’ logo.

Such was the case with a poor 14-year-old dog Diesel, who suffers from blindness.

What’s more, Diesel has been kept chained up outside for his entire life – through two different owners, no less.

That is no way to live, not for any animal…ever!

Zoe Kharasch, founder of Newman Nation: Senior Pets United, caught wind of the situation, and she just knew she had to jump in and do what she could.  

She was discouraged from doing so, but she knew in her heart that Diesel deserved a fighting chance at a happy life.

“When I first expressed my dedication to rescuing him, I was met with a lot of skepticism, even from friends,” Kharasch told The Dodo.

“People said he would never adapt to living indoors, that he should remain on the chain where he was ‘comfortable’ and even that he should just be euthanized.”

Zoe sent a volunteer out to scoop Diesel up, and it didn’t take too long for her hunch to be proven correct.

Diesel was an incredibly loving and sweet pup that seemed to be downright tickled to finally be in the company of folks that really cared for him.

This is one happy pooch!

He was placed in a foster home with some other animals, and he quickly made friends.

His lack of sight hasn’t hindered him a bit, and he absolutely loves entertaining himself with the doggie toys that he’s free to grab whenever he wants.

This is exactly how every dog should live, right? Happy and having fun? Loved and respected?

Well, Diesel is finally in a spot with a family that cares for him, but he’s still in need of a forever home.

The turnaround in his life has been remarkable thus far, and we’ll hold out hope that things get even better for him as he advances in age.

“Diesel is a true testament to the good nature of dogs and how they forgive so easily,” Kharasch said.

Their sad and confused faces pull at our heartstrings. Most people will do whatever they can to try to save them, and this is one of those stories:

These guys are true heroes, having gone above and beyond to help an abandoned pup.

In the video, bystanders are watching a scared, abandoned dog who is stuck in a river pass and the water is rising the moment. All hope seems lost…

There are men standing on the ledge just watching with their cameras out videoing the helpless dog, two other guys show up and go to work to try to save the drowning pup.

The two guys jump in their orange jeep and head right into the river risking their own lives, but they had to try.

They reach the struggling brown dog. He’s terrified, trembling, trying his best to hold onto a pile of rocks that he latched onto in the river.

At that moment, they could suddenly see hope in the dog’s eyes.

The driver somehow drove right up beside the rocks, and the passenger reached out and grabbed the dog by the scruff pulling him inside the jeep.

He had to move fast and he wasn’t about to let the little guy drown!

The dog didn’t fight them at all; he let himself be picked up and placed in the jeep without any struggle. Maybe he knew the men were his guardian angels.

And then it was time to get the heck out of there!

They keep moving and pull out of the river with the pup now in the safety of the jeep without ever stopping.

It really was a sight to see!

These guys became heroes saving this dog from certain death and they didn’t even get wet!

Watch for yourself. It will make you hold your breath…

It’s not just humans that can experience those feelings, either.  Animals too can take an instant dislike to another animal, or fall madly in love.

Sophie, a rescue cat living in Boston, was thrilled to be living in a safe and happy home. She thought she had everything she could ever want.

Then, she went on a walk with her human parents one day…and amazingly, met the man…er, tomcat, of her dreams.

“I remember when I first started taking her out on the leash Scottie would come over and watch from across the lawn or driveway without coming too close,” said Sophie’s human mom.

Sophie was sort of a hard sell; she didn’t instantly fall in love. In fact, at first, she sort of scorned the boy next door’s advances.

So, the handsome orange and white tomcat, Scottie, had to adore his black and white beauty from afar, happy simply to know she was in his world for a while.

He would sit and stare from a distance, always making sure he was able to see her and what she was doing.

“Sophie was too busy for him…but soon he became bolder and would sit closer like he was waiting for an invite to join in.

Sophie didn’t seem to mind he was there as long as she didn’t have to pay attention to him much,” said the human mom.

But eventually, Scottie’s adoration wore her down. One day when they went out for a walk, she seemed to be letting him know that he could court her if he chose to.

He, of course, chose to do so, and soon they were inseparable. Scottie’s dream had come true, and in doing so, made Sophie just as happy.

“His persistence started paying off and soon Sophie came to expect him on her adventures and allowed him to sit with her.”

Every time she goes outside now, everyone can guarantee that he will be close behind. Whatever she does, he does it too.

From the time they go outside until they go back inside their homes, they are together the whole time. They’ve taken neighborly love to a whole new level!

Congratulations to the two of them for finding such a beautiful relationship.

I don’t know about you, but I’m hearing the theme song to “Love Story” in my head!

The post Sophie’s Reaction To Meeting Scottie Is Unexpected, To Say The Least appeared first on Addicting Stories.

They were absolutely devastated because Nine was a member of their family, not just a pet.

As they sat holding hands in the family room praying for comfort, a segment came on the news, and they both looked up, then at each other, knowing it was definitely a sign from God.

Hang on and you’ll believe too.

What came on their television was a news segment on a dog, also a German Shepherd, who had been rescued in Las Vegas after being left for dead in his backyard.

He was only found when neighbors reported his continuous barking, but he wasn’t being a nuisance, he was crying for help.

The rescuers said, “We went over there and tried to make friends with him.” 

“It took a couple of visits, and then one of our volunteers was able to get him out.”

Oh yeah, his name was also Nine.

Kimberly and Stephen rushed to meet the dog.  They were warned that the dog didn’t like new people and was afraid to make eye contact.

But they ignored the warning and Nine bonded with them instantly; they knew immediately that Nine was supposed to be theirs and they took him home.

He has gained 25 pounds and is happy with his new family; now watch this unusual and heartbreakingly amazing story unfold.

How else can you explain it but divine intervention?
