Members of the St. Joseph High School cross-country team in California invited more than a dozen shelter dogs to accompany them on their morning run this week.

Each teammate was paired with a dog from the Santa Barbara County Animal Shelter before heading out for a long run as one big happy group.


"I am not sure who was more excited and having the most fun ... the dogs or the kids," coach Luis Escobar said. "Either way, it was a great time and I am sure we will do it again sometime soon."

Hopefully this becomes a regular thing, and that it inspires other schools to try it out, too!

Meet Jumpy, the best trained dog ever! This incredible Australian shepherd’s roster of skills and tricks is almost hard to believe. With acrobatic grace, he skateboards, jumps, dives, and even wake boards!


Please share Jumpy with your friends and family on Facebook!

Here's some funny pictures of dogs and cats that managed to get stuck but are totally trying to play it off like they did it on purpose...

For years, a hoarder had them caged in pens without access to water.

A group of volunteers at the Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary rescued bunch of little ducklings. After spending some time with them they realized that the birds had never been in the water before. Instead of getting the love and care they needed the hoarder who had them in pens without adequate access to water or food. So, with a lot of rehabilitation, the ducks get their first taste of life in a pond. But the rick is the rescuers have to get them to go into the water…

I love how some of the ducks react! Share this uplifting video with your friends and family!
