The world is made up of all kinds of adorable animal friendships. But perhaps one of our favorites happens to be Heidy and Loulou.

Dogs have an unwavering loyalty to their families. This is one of their many fine attributes, and one of the reasons why they are often referred to as being “man’s best friend.”

Baby animals have to make up 99% of all the content on the internet – who doesn’t love watching that stuff? Lots of us have these little animals in our homes (we call them pets) and still can’t get enough!

Cats and dogs don’t always get along. In other cases, they are best friends who help each other out in tough times. We already wrote about the cat who comforted his anxious dog brother when their humans were away. Now we have a blind dog who navigates the world with the help of his “seeing eye” cat.

Friendships are built on trust, respect, and in the case of a 15-month-old puppy and a brumby (Australian term for wild horse) colt – patience.

As we near the one year mark of when COVID-19 began picking up steam and making an immense impact on the world, it may be easy to forget those who have served us.

There are many things that I have come to understand in my thirty years of life. But one of the big mysteries that still completely baffles me is the fact that people can be outright cruel to animals.

Several months ago, Brian Myers adopted a 6-year-old German shepherd named Sadie from the Ramapo-Bergen Animal Refuge in Oakland, New Jersey. Sadie was a sweet dog, but like many shelter dogs, she came with her baggage. The shelter staff noted that she seemed to display a lot of anxiety and trust issues towards men, but surprisingly, she seemed to take a liking to Myers.

If there is one thing we know about dogs, it’s the fact that we love it when they go places with us. It doesn’t matter if we are going around the block or across the country, having our dog by our side is the only way to travel.

Like most military K-9s, 5-year-old detection dog Bogi played a key role in fighting crime by helping her trainer and handler, Marine Sgt. Angela Cardone, sniff out drugs.

When an elderly woman came upon hard times during the coronavirus pandemic, her first thought was for her beloved cat. “Emergency. Please Help,” the woman wrote in a letter addressed to the Nebraska Humane Society.

We love our dogs. They are an extension of our family, and many of us can’t imagine life without them. So when something happens to our beloved pets, we are willing to do everything in our power to help them.

Dogs will always go along with our most harebrained schemes, which is what makes them such loyal and wonderful companions. For many of us in lockdown, having our furry companions by our side has made a world of difference while being cooped up indoors.
