Recently, we have been hearing tons of stories about dogs being left out at cold, leading them to very unfortunate conditions. Some lose their paws due to frostbite, while others simply can’t fight the cold and give up on their lives. Because of a minor insensibility of their owners, poor dogs have to go through the most horrific fate.


But now, finally, the lawmakers have decided to put this entire problem to an end. Pennsylvania recently signed a law last June, House Bill 1238, also known as Libre’s Law, which protects the pets against cruelty, abuse and neglect. Now, as a part of the same law, they have restricted leaving pets in harsh winter conditions as well. According to the law, the owner of the pet will be charged with a felony if found doing so.




It also states that the owner cannot be left outside for more than 30 minutes in temperatures above 90 or below 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

Any owner to break this rule may have to face felony animal cruelty charges, including 7 years in prison and a fine of $15,000.


It is a great way to put animal negligence and abuse to an end. With so many cases of them being tortured, the authorities encourage people to call 911 immediately in case they witness any such incident.

Watch the video below to learn more about this law.

Please note that Officer Tobin misquotes the law in the video accidentally. The time limit is, indeed, 30 minutes and not 20 minutes.

In March 2018, firefighters in Colorado Springs received a call about a litter of eight little puppies abandoned in a storm drain. The firefighters quickly headed over to the area. They hoped they would be able to the save the puppies before it was too late.

A Ring app caught an unexpectedly friendly moment when a squirrel jumped onto the back of a UPS driver as he made a delivery.

"I was just there bobbing my head jamming to music, and all of a sudden I felt a tug. It startled me," Oscar Luciano said. "The only thing that went through my mind is, my wife would never believe what just happened to me."

"I felt like Snow White with all her animal friends," he added.

Meet Ruuxa the cheetah and Raina the dog from the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. These two furry creatures truly represent an embodiment of the phrase ‘best friends forever,’ and their story is one that will warm your heart.

A mother cheetah will have a litter with 3 to 5 cubs, but they can have up to nine cubs in one litter. At the San Diego Zoo, Ruuxa was the only cub in his litter. Mother cheetahs will often abandoned single cubs because their instincts tell them that the one pup won’t survive in the wild.

So, when Ruuxa was abandoned by his mother, the zoo staff stepped in. The zoo staff wanted to give the baby cheetah a companion since he had no siblings, they chose Raina, an 8-week old Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy!

The zoo plans to have Raina and Ruuxa spend their lives together. Raina’s body language will help keep Ruuxa calm if the zoo ever needs to move him to another habitat or when he faces an unfamiliar situation.

It wasn’t long before the zookeepers realized Ruuxa’s front legs were not developing properly. He had been born with a growth abnormality called chondrodysplasia. Ruuxa’s legs were not growing straight, they were growing in a bow shape.

Keepers were worried this would prevent Ruuxa from being able to run. The zoo’s veterinarians performed corrective surgery on September 3, 2014.

Raina never left her buddy alone. During Ruuxa’ recovery, Raina was there. She was gentle with him and left his bandages alone.

Thanks to Raina, Ruuxa completely recovered! Today, at one and a half years old, Ruuxa competes in the Shiley’s Cheetah Run! Ruuxa and Raina, are more like siblings than friends.
