They Were Shocked When They Saw A Dog Hanging From A Balcony, What Happened Next? OMG!

Having a pet in your home means taking care of them in any way you can. There’s no reason to have them if you’re only going to neglect them or abuse them, because they could always be somewhere else in a happier home. Thankfully, for this dog, his rescue came just in time before something terrible could have happened.


The German Shepherd had been left alone in an apartment in Egypt, chained up to a balcony for days and without any food or water. She was so desperate for food that she tried to jump off the balcony to escape.

But the chain held her in place, and she ended up hanging over the side with the metal digging into her neck. She hung three stories above the ground, afraid for her life.

But thanks to the efforts of a good samaritan when they heard her cries for help. The neighbor and some rescuers got her back to safety on the balcony, but she wasn’t out of the woods yet.

She was found to be emaciated and the chain had cut into her neck so deeply that the wound was severe.

She was taken to the Egyptian Society for Mercy to Animals shelter where she was treated for her wounds and condition.

A few weeks after her recovery, the shelter paired up with Special Needs Animal Rescue & Rehabilitation to get the dog, now named Bella, flown to the United States so that she could remain in a foster home and receive the love and attention she deserves.

“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...

Protect Our Waters: Say No To Plastic Waste!

Plastic garbage. It’s something we all see everyday. Don’t be fooled to think that these plastics are merely an eyesore.  We’ve become so accustomed to using plastic utensils, straws, water bottles and bags that it’s easy to forget the impact this has on our environment and climate. My name is Tyler and I’m in my fourth year of university in Canada, where I’m earning a degree in Environmental Studies. I'm also an environmental activist.  Even for someone like me, it’s hard to avoid using plastic at places like fast food restaurant, and that needs to change.   I’ve started this movement to highlight calls to action happening around the world, and to grow a community of everyday citizens pressing governments and companies to get serious about cleaning up our rivers, lakes and oceans . When we work together, and keep the pressure on, we really can make an impact. I know this firsthand, after collaborating with activists across Canada to successfully urge th...

Stop holding the (2018) Yulin dog meat & lychee festival in Yulin, (Guangxi) China.

This "festival" is an event that starts on June 21st of every year during the summer solstice and it lasts for 10 long horrifying days in which 10,000–15,000 dogs (as well as cats) are tortured and then consumed. However, it is estimated 25 million dogs are stolen, sold, bought, and eaten every year with the illegal dog and cat meat trade. A larger percentage of these dogs consist of pets stolen right from their loving families. The rest of the dogs are captured strays from the streets and some raised in dog farms. After these animals are stolen, bought, or captured they are then transported for days without any food or water, crammed in tiny cages together so tightly that they are unable to even move. At the yulin festival, throughout those days, these animals will be hung, burned, skinned, boiled, torched, dismembered, electrocuted and beaten...ALIVE..out in the streets for public view. But If that isn't bad enough, they intentionally torture these animals in f...
