Sadie is a narcotics police dog, but by just looking at her, you would never know she was once a dog on death row.
This smart, black Labrador sat in Clermont County Humane Society, in Batavia, Ohio. Her time was up and she was almost euthanized, but Cincinnati Lab Rescue stepped in to save her life.
Trained dogs save lives, but once in a while the dogs put into practice their skills when they are not needed.
Take for example this life guard dog. He saw an unattended child in the water and thought the kid was in distress. Naturally, the pet jumped into action to saved the kid. The problem was the child didn’t need to be rescued.
The underage swimmer had a life jacket on and his parents were nearby watching him, but the rescue dog thought it would be best for the child to be out of the water.
It is hard to believe that someone would throw away a dog and the pet’s belongings in the trash, as if the four-legged friend was a useless piece of furniture. In Palma de Mallorca, Spain, someone did just that. A male black dog, believed to be a Yorkshire mix, was found inside a garbage container with his bed and all.
A Doberman mix originally from Texas, was on her way to Wisconsin when it got spooked at a Chicago airport and ran away. Luckily, the dog was found six days later.
Appalled with the number of animals loose in town, and how many were being shot at the pound, Santa's elves started Bethel Friends of Canines to rescue Alaska's unwanted pets.
