Mama Dog Was Sad When 7 Pups Pass In Fire. Then They Showed Mama A Litter Of Orphans

As a child, Jessica Woodruff loved animals. Now, she has to deal with the most tragic moment of her life when her barn was on fire.

On February 9th 2017 Jessica’s barn caught fire accidentally. The fire killed many animals including four goats, a pig, and seven puppies. The puppies were 3 weeks old when the incident happened.

Image Credit: YouTube Video

As soon as the fire broke out, the mommy dog Daisy, a Great Pyrenees and Border Collie mix, tried to run into the barn to save her pups. But the fire had spread too quickly and Jessica had to hold Daisy back, lest she ended up losing Daisy to the fire too.

The fire spread so fast and big that everything was over within minutes. There was nothing Jessica or Daisy could do, and it broke their hearts. Over the next few days Daisy plunged into depression, and she would walk over to the burnt down barn repeatedly and whine for her puppies. Watching Daisy in so much emotional pain destroyed Jessica. She knew she had to do something before she lost Daisy too.

Jessica’s sister Jacque Barnett put up a post on Facebook looking for orphan puppies they could foster. Coincidently, a woman named Lorna Murphy’s 5-year-old dog Chloe had passed away after giving birth to 8 puppies.

Image Credit: YouTube Video

The women on both sides decided to change their tragedies into happiness for their dogs, and a meeting was quickly set up so Daisy could be introduced to the new-born puppies. Daisy’s maternal instincts immediately kicked in and she began feeding the puppies.

Daisy took care of the puppies for several weeks until they were all weaned. Most of the puppies were returned to their owner, except the runt of the litter, who they named Benji.

We’re so happy Daisy found some happiness after her terrible loss, and Lorna’s puppies found a new mommy after theirs had passed away.

Man’s About To Return Shelter Dog When He Read Previous Owner’s Note

A man had finally settled into his new town, but something still felt missing from his life. He thought getting a companion in the form of a shelter dog might help. So he did just that. He went to the shelter where a black Lab named Reggie needed a home. But they didn’t hit it off right away.

The man gave it two weeks (the amount of time the shelter said it may take for the dog to adjust to his new home), but it just wasn’t working out. Maybe it was the fact he was also trying to adjust to a new situation. Maybe they were too much alike. But then the man started going through Reggie’s stuff, and that’s when he was reminded of a letter the previous owner had left with the dog. That’s what would end up changing their lives dramatically.

Chris and Mariesa’s visit to the shelter turned out to be just the stroke of luck one dog needed.

Storie, a heavily pregnant dog, refused to go into labor at the county kennel because she felt uncomfortable giving birth in the shelter conditions.

Mariesa and Chris were looking for a dog to care for, one they could take home right away, who was close to giving birth. They saw a small terrier in a shelter with a swollen belly and knew this was the one.

Image Credit: YouTube/HooplaHa – Only Good News

When they took Storie to the vet and had her ultrasound done, they were surprised to find she was harboring 12 puppies inside her.

The couple quickly began preparing a kennel in their home as they were expecting Storie to go into labor in a couple of days.

To their surprise, Storie went into labor that very night, just 18 hours after being picked up from the shelter. She was truly just waiting for a loving home to give birth in!

Storie and the couple welcomed 12 new puppies into the world. Chris and Mariesa already had their eyes on one puppy each to keep before putting the rest up for adoption.

Anonymous Man Saves Battered Puppy & Finally Comes Forward To Collect His ‘Reward’

We live in a world full of people. Some are good and some people have no empathy or compassion. The article starts off with a story about a callous employee that fired a person that needed the job to care for the patient who shared their heart problem with them over coffee.

Crossing a bridge on an ordinary evening, Bob Hoelter heard whimpering sounds. Listening more closely, he realized the cries sounded desperate and decided to go under the bridge to try and find the source of these cries.

A distressed pup was found. The worst part, his mouth was taped shut.

Image Source: ZooLand/YouTube

Bob found an innocent, duct-taped puppy thrown from a bridge. After seeking emergency help at Griffith Animal Hospital, the pup received treatment for damaged skin and tissue caused by duct tape, pain medication, and antibiotics.

They then treated him for a broken leg. He would need surgery for that.

Image Source: ZooLand/YouTube

They set him up in a nice kennel with a cozy bed. The story of the puppy went viral. When Bob dropped the pup off, he never gave the vet staff his name. He was just focused on getting the little guy help and the staff was focused on saving his life. The puppy found a forever home but everyone was wondering if Bob would ever come forward.

Bob is a hero, who knows this because a family member was browsing social media when he saw a story about his actions.

Abandoned Dog With 46-Lb Tumor Finally Had Heavy Burden Lifted Off His Shoulders

As if homeless dogs don’t already have it bad enough, one was abandoned at a beach in Newport, California with an extra 46 pounds of weight due to a tumor on his side.

Stray dogs that find their way onto the beach can often end up lost. However, this dog, Henry, needed to be rescued earlier than expected. AsValerie Schomburg of Newport Beach Animal Control points out, “The rescuers from NBAC are used to picking up stray dogs in poor condition, but nothing could have prepared them for what Henry looked like” She continues on to say that he needed medical attention as soon as possible.

Image Credit Source: Facebook/NBAS

Not only did he struggle to find food, but he had difficulty getting around. His right front leg was so big and hindering on him so bad because of the tumor in there that it pushed him down and gave him a hard time walking.

Henry, a rescue dog, had barely started his new life when he fell victim to poisoning. The only puppy born of the litter, Henry arrived at his adoptive foster after having contracted Parvo Chicken Pox Virus. A few months later, young Henry was diagnosed with Leukemia. Despite all of the hardships that Henry has faced in such a short period of time, he still had a zest for life. He was always smiling and wagging his tail and little Henry loved every person he met.

Image Credit Source: Facebook/NBAS

In a sad twist of irony, Tina’s son Henry needed a crowdfunding campaign started by Jamie Schomburg. Oddly enough, the tumor that caused the fundraiser wound up being cancerous. fortunately though, it did not spread to any other parts of his body.

Henry had a huge weight lifted off his shoulders-literally. After undergoing surgery for a brain tumor, Henry’s weight dropped from 200lbs to 78lbs, and he could walk almost completely normally. The tumor was removed not long ago, and luckily Henry found a loving foster family through the Newport Beach Animal shelter after going through a lot of pain.

Image Credit Source: Facebook/NBAS

After Henry relieved his story, he became a celebrity as the media picked up his story. People from all over the world sent him gifts and treats to thank him for touching their heart with his story.

The late Henry found love near the end. His time on Earth was mainly defined by pure enthusiasm for life, which he had carried with him in his tail and smile, and when Henry died peacefully in his sleep, he left his loving family to press onwards.

After the passing of Henry, investigators were able to find his previous owner, who was subsequently charged by the OC District Attorney’s Office and is still facing trial.

When cops arrived, they found a dog who seemed to be aggressive, but learned that he had spent his entire life on a chain and had a very a violent owner.

Theoklitos Proestakis, who runs Takis Shelter on the island of Crete, agreed to take in the aggressive dog. He is known for having a special knack of getting aggressive and scared dogs to become calm and trusting.

At first, this ‘aggressive’ dog, named Phoenix, did not want anyone to touch him. He flashed his teeth and would snap anytime anyone came near. But Takis refused to give up on him.

Phoenix was terrified, and all he was used to was getting abused his whole life, so he thought that every human would do the same things his mean owner did. Violence was all he knew and he was just trying to defend himself, like he’s had to do so many times.

Takis used a glove to pet Phoenix with, and wanted to show him what gentle human touch was and that he wasn’t going to get hurt ever again. Phoenix was still nervous and continued to snap at Takis.

“We will try later again and we will be very good friends soon,” Takis said to Phoenix.

Phoenix seemed like he was a far cry from being friendly and accepting of human touch, but Takis was right. He was able to gain Phoenix’s trust!

Once Phoenix got a taste of gentle affection, he loved it. He finally gave in and rested his face in Takis’ glove. Now he couldn’t get enough attention.

This just goes to show that Phoenix was never the “aggressive” dog that he appeared to be. He was just a dog who was trying to protect himself from his abusive owner.
