Dog News

Back in April we told you about a massive fire that destroyed 2,900 homes in Valparaiso, Chile. While the fire left many humans homeless it also affected many house pets and stray dogs. Out of the devastation came hope, when a group of concerned animal lovers organized an emergency shelter area to treat and care for the many dogs that lost their homes and owners, but until today, many of those pets are still waiting to be reunited with their original owners, or adopted into new loving homes.

If you haven’t seen it yet, here it is:  the dog who apologizes to a baby for stealing her toy – by bringing her every one of both of their toys – and then some!

On July 21, 2014, Tom, a terrier mix dog from Chaco, Argentina, got stranded on a small island inside a lagoon. His owner, Marta Avila, was desperate to rescue him, and having no one to turn to, she called local animal rescue group, Fundación Pequeñas Huellitas, for help.

The dog of fallen Navy SEAL Officer Jon Tumilson was dedicated to him while Tumilson was alive, and remained dedicated after his death.

During the funeral, the pooch refused to leave his owner’s casket at the officer’s funeral. While the story is sad, it is beautiful to see such loyalty.
