Man’s best friend strikes again, and this time it was to save a young boy whose life was on the line. The kid was swimming in the sea at Port Noarlunga when he was suddenly swept out away from shore. He couldn’t swim back and quickly became exhausted. He needed a hero.

Hope For Paws learned of a stray staying at a shipping yard and arrived on scene to help. They were told she just had some puppies, so they had to find them. Mama responded to the treats and led the rescuers deep into the property.

“Anyone missing their frozen turkey?” That’s what Jenny Jones and her friend Kathy Wyrick thought when they spotted something strange in the middle of the road around the Round Mountain area in Conway, Arkansas.

The lease had run out on the property and the dog had been left inside a shed. When found, he had no food or water and was dangerously underweight. He was also flea-ridden and had rotten teeth due to untreated dental disease.

Keiva, the 8-year-old Maltese cross, somehow survived for 18 months away from her loving home before being reunited with her owners in late November 2020. 

Losing loved ones are certainly painful and harder to forget about them. Touching story behind this just like seeing a child left behind by their parents without getting enough affection and attention.

A heartbreaking footage has been circulating on social media recently. In the video, a mother dog is seen pleading a man to not leave her and her puppies behind. In a clip posted by Kluang Johor Stray Dog Home, a man is seen driving his car into the compound of a a rescue shelter.

Here at SmallJoys we always want to thank the selfless volunteers, whether they’re working to working to help a lonely neighbor, saving a beached Orca whale, or other amazing charity work we always love them for their work.

Sanford was considered a “broken dog” when he arrived at a shelter in Texas. He’d been run over but also had a bullet wound in his right leg. He stayed in the corner of the shelter and didn’t look at anyone.

Anyone who has young kids knows how hard it is to take a nap. The moment your eyes shut, your kid is by your side ready to play. As it turns out, the same is true not only of our human children but our fur baby children as well.

When welcomed into the family, dogs take their role as protector and companion very seriously. Whether they were adopted as an adult or they’ve been there since they were a puppy, our four-legged friends love nothing more than being part of the family.

We all love birthdays, especially our own and this sweet little dog is no exception. Meet Odin, a tiny little dog with tiny paws, tiny ears, and even a tiny little tail that wags about when he’s happy.
