Baby Poops In Onesie And The Dog Decides To Quickly Leave The Scene

I’ve never met anyone who didn’t find farts to the face funny. But what about baby farts? No one likes it when babies let off gas, but at least then, their diapers create a buffer zone that softens the impact. 🙂

Woman Leaves Her Dog With Dad, Received The “Best Texts” From Him During The Day

Meghan Specksgoor from Midlothian, Virginia, decided to have her father babysit her dog as she was getting ready to take a trip to New York.

Her father, Larry was most definitely the proud grandfather of his 4  year old German Shephard grandson named Chance.

Meghan decided to post her texts on Twitter of these two and their adventure. These have since gone viral with well over than 55k retweets. 

In dad’s first text, Larry wrote: “Grandpa wants to know what kind of take-out I can have? We are starving.”

“Hate to keep bothering you mom, but we really need to hang out with gramps more, ”Larry wrote in another text, featuring a happy Chance hanging with his grandpa at the park.”

 

Credit: Twitter and Meghan Specksgoor via ABC News

 

Next, Chance and Grandpa sent this! “Hi mom, it’s me again. We had a picnic and are going to the nail salon now. Gramps said if I’m good I can have ice cream. What kind do I like again?” Larry even inserted an emoji! So adorable.

 

Credit: Twitter and Meghan Specksgoor via ABC News

 

After their picnic dinner together, Larry took Chance to get his nails clipped. He then took Chance for some pup-friendly ice cream for dessert. At the end of their paw-fect day together, Larry let Chance sleep with him in his bed. From Chance’s face, you can tell he’s very happy. Grandpa is treating his “grandson” like gold!

Larry sent his last text, saying: “Hey mom, gramps is going to sleep with me tonight, is there anything we need to tell him?” He followed up with, “Hope you are having as much fun as I am 😍 see you tomorrow and good night, love you soooo much ❤️”  We just love this man!

 

Credit: Twitter and Meghan Specksgoor via ABC News

 

It must be so wonderful having a father (and grandpa) like Larry. Meghan knows that Chance is always in good hands if she has to leave her fur kid behind. Larry very much (eventually) wants human grandkids. I bet he will spoil them just like he loves to spoil Chance.

Tiniest Wounded Puppy Hears Her Voice, Comes Into Yard & Begs For Help

A very tiny and stray pup, all on his own, must have heard voices nearby him. Simply knowing he needed help, the little pup came over from another yard, hurting from the painful wounds on his little body. He was only 3 weeks old. What had happened to his mother and what could have caused such an injury?

 


SourceAnimalSTEP Official (YouTube Video)

 

The rescuer picks the puppy up and notices that he’s not just injured but he’s also malnourished. It’s likely he had been on his own for a few days. Imagine how scared this little one must’ve been! We are sad that he’s hurt but thrilled that he found help. At such a young age, he understood that he couldn’t handle all this on his own.

 


SourceAnimalSTEP Official (YouTube Video)

 

The tiny pup was starving and covered in hundreds of fleas. As he lapped up some formula, the rescuer could see that his blood count was also quite low. Poor pup!

Before dressing his wound, the rescuer notices there are maggots in it. She kills and removes them with a special powder. When she dresses his wounds, he makes noises we can identify as protests against the bandages. Yet we know that they must be there in order to keep his wound dry and clean.

 


SourceAnimalSTEP Official (YouTube Video)

 

With some time and healing, the tiny puppy makes tremendous progress. It’s amazing what a good diet, proper medical care, and lots of love can do. As you can see, he is certainly a fan of his new food!

 


SourceAnimalSTEP Official (YouTube Video)

 

The puppy’s wound is almost fully healed and his rescuer is fostering him. He will soon be big enough to go to his forever home. There are many willing adopters interested in the entire litter of pups!

We are so grateful that this little guy knew he needed help and came to the rescuers when he did.

Mama Dog Finds a New Purpose When She Meets Orphaned Puppies

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.

160 Pound Bullmastiff “Love-Tackles” Soldier In Homecoming Video

When Jason Floyd, a returning soldier from Greenville, Rhode Island, was greeted at the airport by a 170-pound Bullmastiff, he likely wasn’t anticipating being knocked over.

 


Image credit: YouTube Video

 

Jason’s mother, Lisa, knew that Jason was coming home soon, so she wanted to do something very special to surprise her son.

The moment the adorable big dog sees Jason, he zooms in on him like a stealth missile. At one point, the doggo even splays atop the soldier because he can’t control his emotions. He also jumps up to lick Jason’s chin and plants kisses all over his face. All Luke can do is pet his friend with a smile of realization, reunited after years apart.

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.

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.
