Abandoned Dog And Paralyzed Cat Survived Because They Had Each Other

Remember that movie Fried Green Tomatoes? All star cast aside, it was still just a brilliant ode to lifelong friendships, and bonds that just can’t be broken no matter how different two people may be! It was one of my favorites, because it was a real look at how people sometimes just connect no matter what their backgrounds. Are you ready for this ultimate in cute? The situation is completely heartbreaking but what came of it will definitely melt your heart.

There’s no real background on this unlikely duo – a dog and a cat of all things! – but the poor pair was found in rural Florida, at the end of a driveway. If you’re ready to get teary eyed, check this out.

The cat is partially paralyzed, and when they were found, the Dachshund was standing over her, the penultimate guard dog. They had obviously been abandoned, but he was so intent on protecting his friend that he stood guard even when though he was covered in ants!

Lucky for this adorable duo, they were both adopted by Jackie Borum, a local who works at a pet grooming store. While many people would have balked at taking both in, she has made it a point to keep these two together – so many feels!

If you’re ready to set those tears free, she also named them after the life long friends in Fried Green Tomatoes – the cat is Ruth and the dog Idgie – SQUEEEE! I cannot even with this!

These two are absolutely inseparable, and if you ever wondered what true friendship looked like, look no further! Share away, people!

“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...

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...
