This plea comes from Jennifer Quesenberry, a volunteer with Virginia German Shepherd Rescue:

On January 7, 2015, a resident of Wilson, N.C., spotted an emaciated pit bull tied with a heavy chain to a plastic crate. Because of the record low temperatures of that day, the concerned citizen feared the neglected pet wouldn’t survive one more night exposed to the cold, and therefore contacted For the Love of Dogs NC to rescue the dog.

The following description was included with the original video on YouTube.com:

“Pumpkin was an abused and abandoned young dog trying to survive on Houston’s harsh streets. Watch this little dog’s remarkable and inspiring story.  Oh, and a “foster failure” is a good thing.  It means the foster mom became forever mom.”

While a woman was walking her dog along a beach in La Cap Ferret, France, they happened upon what has got to be the single friendliest seal.  When the dog and seal began to snuggle, it had to be a real once in a lifetime moment for everyone there.

Seventy-eight-year-old Sue Prickett was out walking her terrier named Suki and a friend’s dog in the woods of Sherborne, Dorset, when Suki ran off and fell into a deep hole getting trapped. The pet owner tried pulling her dog out but the pet cried out in pain and slipped deeper into the hole. It was late and dark, and if it wasn’t for the power of social media, Suki would have died in the hole.
