Pregnant Dog WORKS IT In Her Very Own Maternity Photo Shoot

Many expecting mothers decide to have maternity shoots to show off how far along they are, and that they can still feel beautiful in their skin. But humans aren’t the only who should be allowed to feel this good about themselves.

One Brazilian photographer, Ana Paula Grillo, had the pleasure of working with another kind of expectant parent in the form of her friend’s dog, Lilica.

The pooch struck up an unexpected romance with the neighbor’s dog, which led to her pregnancy.

Grillo wanted to show off the dog in all of her beautiful glory and help her feel loved and appreciated.

And the results are simply beautiful.

Lilica seems to understand how to work the camera, and shows off all of her best angles as the photographer snaps away.

And she does it all with a big smile on her face too.

She seems to beam with pride at her state and can’t wait to bring her new puppies into the world for the rest of it to enjoy.

Since the photos have been taken, Lilica gave birth to five adorable puppies that have since been adopted to the owner’s adult children and their families.

Although these photos are absolutely gorgeous, it’s important to remember to spay and neuter your pet so that unwanted litters of puppies aren’t brought into the world and placed in overcrowded shelters.

There are already plenty of dogs who are up for adoption, and reducing the population of the animals in shelters will help all of them to find a forever home of their own.

“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...

Tesco: Ditch palm oil in your own-brand products!

>>>SIGN PETITION HERE<<< My name is Oscar, I’m 15 and I want to do everything I can to protect our environment . I was really upset and angry when I found out about the huge deforestation that is involved in the palm oil industry, and that’s why I’m calling on Tesco to ditch palm oil from their own-brand products. Iceland has already banned palm oil from their own brand products, so we know that this is possible for Tesco too. As the largest supermarket in the UK (and using over 40,000 tonnes of palm oil every year!), Tesco has an opportunity to set an example to other supermarkets and food producers that destroying swathes of forests for palm oil is not acceptable. I run a online cause called ‘Justice4Earth’ ( @justice4earth on Instagram and @justice4earth on Twitter) where I raise awareness about environmental issues. I found out that palm oil is literally everywhere: from shampoos, toothpastes and detergen...

SIGN NOW! BAN THE SALE OF CRUEL ‘LIVE ANIMAL’ KEYCHAINS

>>> Sign the petition now to tell China to ban live animal keychains! <<< Turtles, fish and lizards are being stuffed and sealed into plastic bags and sold on the streets as keychains in China. The cost of these animals lives? About $1.50. Swimming in a small pool of colored water, the animals only last until the oxygen is used up. Then, they can theoretically be released and kept as pets – although it’s doubtful that the same people who think an animal makes a nifty trinket have the slightest clue about how to properly care for them. In an interview with CNN, David Neale, animal welfare director of Animals Asia said, “Lack of food and diminishing oxygen concentrations within both the water and the small amount of air in these plastic pouches will cause the animals to die in a relatively short period of time after the pouches are sealed.” 😠So Cruel😠 ACTUAL REAL LIVE ANIMALS are being sealed into tiny plastic pouches and sold as f**king ke...
