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!

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...

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...

The cat’s reaction is heartbreaking after their dog died of cancer 2 weeks ago

The strong bond between cats and dogs amaze me more and more each day, they are best friends, it’s not true that there is enmity between them, it’s completely wrong, and this story proved it. This dog is living with the cat in the same home, sadly, the dog was very sick, so his owner took him to the vet. The vet diagnosed the dog with cancer, from this moment, the countdown of his living days had just started. Charlie the dog is very loved, from the first day that Scout the kitty had come home, the bond started instantly, she couldn’t sleep unless she nestled up to Charlie. They became very close friends, Scout the cat wanted to be around him all the time, play all the time, and have unlimited fun, they were best buddies. And as for Charlie, he was very gentle with his new friend, he tried to make her happy and let her do anything she wants. Wherever Charlie went, she was right away with him, following him wherever he went to, or wherever he was going, Scout the cat was his shadow....
