So here is an incident where a cyclist found five puppies abandoned and left, he went above and beyond to help them. He gave them a ride and helped them in finding their homes. 

Tyago Costa Silva who is a professional cyclist from Brazil never expected that he would come across such kind of saddening sight in the middle of nowhere which would lead them to change their course. Tyago found five puppies buried in a hole. He said that someone dug the hole and left them there to die. The puppies were weak and unable to escape. 

The sad situation of the puppies left the cyclists in shock and they were unable to believe that someone could be so cruel as to do such a thing. So the cyclists knew they had to help. They pulled out the puppies and gave them food and water. A video posted on Tyago’s Instagram account shows him giving water from his bottle to the thirsty pups. 

Not only they provide water to the puppies but also carried them 12 miles by putting them in their shirts. Tyago even took the five puppies to his home to provide them with more care. According to Tyago he got very emotional and took them home to care for them. 

He said that he could not believe that people could be so cruel. He said that he hoped that the puppies get homes with good owners. Luckily the puppies sad story has a happy ending. All the five puppies found their forever homes. 

The cyclist received lot of praise for his work. He said that he did what was right. Thank you Tyago and his friends for helping the puppies.

They have big bright eyes and those eyes are filled with innocence. But some people are after these cute creatures and wanted to hunt them down. Some babies could stay and wait for some help but others are not that lucky. 

Here, the hero of the story is a young brave baby Albino elephant. She was found in a trap of a poacher at a private reserve close to the border of Kruger National Park in South Africa. The innocent soul was spotted and rescued by the volunteers at Hoedspruit Elephant Rehabilitation and Development(HERD). She was immediately shifted to the sanctuary and was treated for her injuries. The weak and fragile baby elephant was tangled in the trap for 4 days. The snare was wrapped around her face which caused deep wounds all over her mouth, face, and ears. 

The more serious thing was the maggots that had started eating the open flesh. The poor baby suffered a lot but she kept going. 

According to Sue Howells, the elephant looked very innocent, fragile, and pure, yet it looked very brave. Fortunately, the baby elephant made a great recovery and she is in a good condition. She is very happy and healthy now. 

According to Sue Howells, the baby elephant is very strong. Her sweet, fragile personality shines through her toughness. This baby elephant was different from others as she was albino and blessed with pink skin. 

We are happy that the baby elephant was saved and we wish her all the happiness for the future life.

She currently resides on a farm with her human Andrea, which means she is always helping her take care of all the animals. 

From kittens to hedgehogs, Loryn has had her fair share of furry friends, but nothing compared to when her mom brought home baby goats.

Loryn immediately felt drawn to the goats and bonded with them right away. She loved them as if they were her own babies, and she made it her job to keep them safe. 

Loryn’s maternal instincts certainly shined as she groomed them, cuddled with them, and followed them everywhere. They grew inseparable, and the goat kids loved Loryn just as much as she loved them.

Loryn cared for them so much that the goats began to think that Loryn was actually their real mother, and Loryn wouldn’t have had it any other way. Instagram page
The first goats that Loryn cared for were named Mia, Delilah, Daisy Mae, and Henry, and Loryn loved them all equally. 

The four of them followed Loryn around the farm, always wanting to stay close to her. Today, the goats are fully grown and are no longer babies, but still, live on the farm and remain very close with Loryn.

Now that the goats don’t require constant care now that they are older, Loryn has shifted her motherly instincts toward other baby animals who have arrived on the farm. 

She has even recently gotten a new baby sister, Nola, who has both of the same parents are Loryn. Instagram page

The Maricopa County Animal Care and Control started an experimental program called ‘Calming Companions,’ where they invited the public into their shelters to sit with the dogs and cats, during fireworks. The idea was loudly appreciated by the animal lovers, as almost 200 kind people came out to the event, visiting either of the control’s shelters. 

They even brought their own chairs and blankets. According to the One Green Planet, they read, played music, and entertained the dogs. 

Staff at the shelters provided treats, toys, and games that helped keep the dogs and cats occupied, and the joint effort led to a great experience for everyone involved. “Ever thought about bringing your dog to crowded places? Even worse, crowded places with fireworks? I promise you dogs don’t like it. 

Some people sang to them, some people read to them, some people just sat there and gave treats! it was so so awesome because the dogs absolutely love the attention and were focused on the people and not the fireworks going on outside,” Amy Engel, one of the volunteers said. 

This Calming Companions’ initiative was a really successfully one. As it is less than a month until this year’s event, it is likely the event will be repeated. 

Maricopa County Animal Care and Control works tirelessly to care for the animals in their community, helping pets be reunited with their families and finding stray animals loving new homes.

  With the mother not anywhere to be seen, it was up to a few good Samaritans to save her. They led her to them and picked the baby up before taking it to safety. The people who saved the deer called Monika Melichar from the Woodlands Wildlife Sanctuary to get some advice on what to do, and she instructed them to leave the baby deer in a quiet area not too far from where it was found. 

But then, a few hours later the deer began to bawl again and it had walked up to the cottages close-by where the people who had saved her before were staying. She was looking for help as her mother wasn’t around, she was so young she could barely walk! So at this point, they called Monika back and she told them to bring the baby deer into the sanctuary for care. You could tell she was ecstatic to be rescued and was a very thirsty baby, they named her Ivy. She was lonely though so the sanctuary gave her a little giraffe toy to make her feel more comfortable and use as a security blanket. They were waiting for another orphaned fawn to show up so Ivy wasn’t alone. Then, lone and behold, another poor orphaned buck showed up. They clicked straight away and were both very happy to have a friend in their time of need. They spent many weeks together before even more deer had arrived. The group of juveniles then made their own little pack together and were eventually let out into the wild together.

Only when she uploaded the images to the computer, she recognised the familiar shape that appeared right before her eyes: – I thought "oh my God, it resembles a fox or a wolf or something." I didn't know when I photographed what I got. It was amazing, she says. 

Northern lights are common in the arctic region of the northern hemisphere and are caused by the solar wind colliding with the atmosphere. Recent years northern lights have been getting more common, caused by increased solar activity. 

Ms Karlssons picture of the celestial animal has since become a viral success. It has been shared thousands of times on Facebook, but has also raised suspicion. 

Several people have been in contact with the photographer herself, to question the authenticity of the picture. – They think it is fake, but I can assure all sceptics that it's genuine, Ms Karlsson says to SVT Saami indigenous people believe these lights are their ancestors visiting them. The Salteaus Indians of eastern Canada and the Kwakiutl and Tlingit of Southeastern Alaska interpreted the northern lights as the dancing of human spirits. 

They rode on horseback, leading fallen soldiers to their final resting place at Valhalla. In Finland, a mystical fox was thought to have created the aurora, its bushy tail spraying snow and throwing sparks into the sky.

Despite the obvious discomfort and the inability to eat or drink, the vulpine youngster remained wary of human interference and avoided contact. 

With some patience and the use of humane tools, the woman was able to remove the jar and reunite the little fox with mom.

A peanut butter jar almost killed this baby fox. I spent 3 days trying to capture him since he couldn’t get the jar off himself. 

I had about 20 failed attempts and it was breaking my heart to see him suffering. Without food and water for 3 full days, I was worried he wouldn’t last much longer. 

Luckily, I was able to borrow a net on the 3rd day and finally catch him. This adorable litter of foxes lives underneath Adleman’s deck.

We’ve seen many stories of couples including their beloved pets in their big day, even making them the “best man.” But one story will truly tug at your heartstrings: a dog dying from cancer hung on just long enough to see his owners down the aisle. 

Kelly O’Connell, a veterinarian, was just 19 when she laid eyes on Charlie, a black Lab mix. The dog had been found abandoned in a shopping cart in the middle of winter. While Kelly wasn’t planning on adopting a dog at the time, she knew it was love at first sight. 

“I don’t know what it was. I was just like, ‘Yeah, this is my dog. I’m taking him home,'” she told the Denver Channel. Kelly and Charlie soon became best friends, and he changed her life. The very active, playful dog inspired the owner to take up running. 

Her dog was so important that when she met her future husband James Garvin, also a veterinarian, one of her biggest concerns was if he and his kids would get along with Charlie — thankfully, they hit it off.

“Charlie doesn’t like everyone. But he immediately loved them,” Kelly said. “He grew to love him just as much as I did,” she told CNN. “Charlie was a symbol of the coming together of the family.” But after 15 years together, Charlie started slowing down. 

He wasn’t his usual active self, and after he suffered a seizure, he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. At the same time, the couple was preparing for their wedding day. “It broke my heart, he had five seizures the week before the wedding,” Kelly told People. “We considered putting him down, but he seemed to get better, so we waited.” 

It was as if Charlie was holding on just long enough to see his owners get married — so when their big day arrived, Charlie was there. 

Despite being weak from cancer and near death, Charlie found the strength to walk Kelly and James down the aisle for their vows. Sadly, he was too weak to walk back, but Kelly’s sister helped him out. 

“My sister, being my sister, scooped him up — all 80 pounds of him — and carried him back down the aisle,” Kelly told the Denver Channel. It was an emotional moment for everyone, and even on her big day Kelly could only think about how proud she was of her beloved dog. 

“We literally ignored everybody. We just dropped to our knees and we just kept saying, ‘You did it, buddy. You made it. You’re here. You’re here.’ Everybody was crying.” It turned out to be one of their last memories together: Charlie died just nine days after the ceremony. 

But while she was heartbroken to lose her best friend, Kelly was grateful Charlie was able to make it, and that the sweet moments were captured by their wedding photographer Jen Dziuvenis. “Those memories. That moment — I was just happy to have him, for him to be there and for the years I had with him,” she said. “And in the pictures he is smiling. You can’t deny it. He is smiling.” “I’ll miss Charlie, he was my best friend,” she told People. “But he’ll never be forgotten. And we’ll always have the wedding photos to remember him by.”

What a beautiful moment. It’s sad that Charlie passed away but we’re glad he held on long enough to be part of their big day.

20 years and 280 days of the year spent in the field, it’s no surprise he has seen his fair share of amazing moments. Our favorite is this spectacular picture of an endangered crocodile captured carrying his babies through the water. The crocodile is a male gharial crocodile who are the largest of all the living crocodiles. 

An ancient species who were first depicted over 4,000 years ago have had their population dramatically declining since the 1930s. This makes the photo even more special, this father is definitely doing his part to help the population growth who is just under 1,000. 

“This male had mated with seven or eight females, and you can see that it was very much involved,” shares Mukherjee. “Normally the gharial is quite a shy crocodile compared with the saltwater and marsh crocs. But this one was very protective and if I got too close, it would charge me. It could be very aggressive.” 

It’s not unusual for crocodiles to carry their young, but they would usually use their mouths to transport their young. 

Due to the gharials odd shaped snout, this wouldn’t be possible, so they resort to other means, just as you can see.

But, why does this happen? Well, dogs are naturally pack animals who favor the company of others. Many experts believe that this pack mentality, coupled with a survival instinct, is why dogs remain so loyal to their human companions. 

They bond deeply with their caretakers, and view you as their pack. Dogs are even well known to extend this love and loyalty long after an owner has passed away, or even after they’ve been abandoned. A homeless cat took a liking to the pup and the pair instantly became inseparable. For six long months, everywhere the dog went, the cat followed shortly behind. 

They even shared the food that residents had been leaving for them as they passed by. Not only did they hang out together and play all day, but they also snuggled up together at night, comforting one another and keeping each other warm until morning. 

It was undeniable that the pair took comfort in one another. 

They know they are different, but they get along well, they comfort each other, ” said a resident of the apartment complex. However, when residents approached the door of the building, the cat would dart away, watching from a “safe distance.” 

But, the dog would stay put. He would stare at each one of their faces, almost as if he was looking for someone specific. 

Onlookers began to assume that he was searching for the faces of his previous family members. And that he was still holding out hope that they would return for him. As it grew closer to winter, residents became concerned for their safety. One person even built them a make-shift shelter, hoping it would shield them from the wind and cold. 

A rescue team was eventually called to the scene, and they were able to catch the pair and get them assessed by a veterinarian. Both of them were said to be in good health, and were then put up for adoption. 

The residents of the complex took comfort in knowing that the pair would be somewhere warm and loved by a new forever family.

  It is believed to be caused by albinism which makes the animals turn white but not this time. Though these species are not uncommon, they don’t survive in the wild that long because of their coloring. 

They are like bananas, sun, egg yolks, and daffodils. So they can blend with nothing in nature and are always at the center of attention.

We’ve heard many stories of dogs suffering in the freezing cold, and the kind places that opened their doors to keep them warm. But dogs are susceptible to the extreme heat, too — and one one hot day, one store knew it was the right thing to let a dog inside to cool down. 

It was a scorching 104°F day in Mexico, and a local stray dog paid a visit to a local market, where he had been showing up for the past few days.

 

“He has been here the past [few] days,” the store’s clerk said, according to The Dodo. “We suspect he was left behind by his owner. He came to us for help.” 

“We could only provide him with food, water and some toys from the store that we paid with our money.” 

But on this hot day, they decided to go even further: They let the dog inside to cool off!

  The dog certainly seemed to enjoy this respite from the extreme heat: he was so comfortable that he just laid down right on the aisle floor for a nap. 

“We let him inside because the temperature outside is really hell-like,” the clerk said. “We feel bad for him, but he looks happier around the store.” 

And the clerks’ kindness was contagious: a customer named Adolfo Pazzi Ahumada, who was at the market for some milk, decided to buy the dog a treat. 

“I felt bad for what the dog has passed through,” Adolfo told The Dodo. “But he is now receiving the love he deserves.” 

Thank you to this store for opening their doors to this dog! We know this small act of kindness meant the world to this stray.
