Rufus understands how difficult it can be for his little masters to reach the craft table. He’s happy to lend a helping hand, errrr… head.

Gerald always loved curling up in Daphne’s lap when he was puppy. He’s never shed the habit, even though he’s put on 150 lbs.

8. Perkins the Polite

Perkins has good manners. When he goes to the vet, he refuses to sprawl on the floor. Instead, he sits in a chair quietly until the veterinarian will see him. He is annoyed that they don’t have the latest edition of Southern Living.

9. Plet just wants to dance.

True story! Plet belonged to a friend of Heather M. in Denmark. He was a Leonberger. A wonderful breed that was bred as a companion dog for the people of Leonberg, Germany.

10. Vince the Vigilant

Is that a can opener? Is that a cat? Is that another dog? Does that dog smell me? I’m smelling something. Am I smelling a cat? Is that a can opener?

11. Snow Breeze the Similar

Snow Breeze and Mira are the exact same size and weight. They swap clothes, ride together on roller coasters, and share banana splits because neither of them can ever finish one alone. Well… Snow Breeze can.

12. Sampson the Soothing

 13. Harry the… well… Hairy

Harry is model-thin under that thick fur coat. He’s a slave to fashion, but now that bobs are back in, he’s got to follow suit.

14. Balthazar the Baffled

Balthazar likes to party, and you always know when he’s around. Just listen for the jingle of his embroidered leather bell collar. In this photo, Balz wasn’t at his best–he’d just finished his second bottle of wine with his drinking buddy Rodrigo. He likes dry reds, poured in a pewter bowl.

“I’m Not Leaving You, Mama!” This is What Love Looks Like.

UPDATE: Lizzie and Phantom are currently recovering in an outdoor koala ward within the  Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital . They’re doing swimmingly; Phantom is both gaining weight and exploring his temporary habitat. And of course, mama and baby are sharing more adorable cuddles! For most species in the animal kingdom, the bond between mother and baby is incredibly strong. That's pretty much inarguable. But last week, two koalas in Australia further proved it. After they were hit by a car, Lizzie and her joey, Phantom were welcomed into the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital. Six-month-old Phantom had escaped the accident unscathed. Lizzie, however, wasn’t looking so good, what with facial trauma and a collapsed lung. In order to survive, she needed to go under the surgeon’s knife. But this marsupial mama wasn’t alone during the life-saving procedure. Phantom accompanied her and clung to her as she received treatment. The vets let them be; Phantom was too y...

The Sound Of This Baby Rhino Wailing After Its Mother Was Killed By Poachers Will Haunt You

It’s one of the most sorrowful sounds you’ll ever hear, but it’s also a sad reality check for anyone who thinks protected species are safe from illegal poaching. In a video released this in July, a baby rhino named Davi cries for his mother after she was shot and killed by poachers. Most rhinos spend at least three years with their mothers before weaning,  the Dodo  reports, but Davi’s childhood was cut short at just 8 months old. The baby rhino stood close by his mother’s lifeless body until rescuers arrived. They fitted her with earplugs and a blindfold to calm his anxiety on the way to The Rhino Orphanage in South Africa. Source: YouTube/Terrence Daniels Davi huddles close to his mother’s dead body. It was there that Davi spent the night crying. “His calls for mom echoed deeply and urgently throughout the night, but two carers have been with him every step of the way,”  caretakers posted . “At least he is in good physical condition [and] has no injuries...

Speak out against the cruel dog meat trade

Much of the world sees dogs as their trusted companions, but in parts of Asia they suffer terribly as victims of the trade in dog meat for human consumption. In some Asian countries, dogs used for this industry are mostly stolen pets and they are sometimes tortured before being slaughtered. The dog meat trade is not only cruel, but is also linked to the spread of rabies and other diseases. HSI is working with local organizations in South Korea, China, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Indonesia, and India to sensitize the public about the harmful dog meat trade that thrives in these countries. We actively shut down farms in South Korea, assist farmers as they transition to more humane livelihoods, support our local Chinese partners in intercepting dog meat traders’ trucks, fund the care of confiscated and rescued animals and lobby for better laws throughout Asia. Take the pledge to fight the cruel dog meat trade >>> SIGN PETITION HERE <<<
