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!

Discarded Dog Was Waiting To Die, Then She Found A Reason To Live

There are no green acres for retired hunting dogs in Ireland. No master's voice calling them home for good. No curling up by the fire to warm those world-weary bones. When she outlived her usefulness in the field, all Merci could expect was a place to curl up and die. The 10-year-old sighthound, also known as a lurcher, found just that in a farmer's shed. Then, unexpectedly, she found mercy. Someone spotted the ailing animal and got in touch with Gina Hetherington, founder of PAWS Animal Rescue Ireland . When they found her, Merci's body was in terrible condition. She was given a medical score of "1," the lowest a dog can get and still breathe — meaning, according to the Veterinary Medicine Center at Ohio State University , there's "no visible body fat" with ribs, pelvic bones and vertebrae "evident from a distance." In a word, she was emaciated. "The fleas were literally crawling off her he...

She Visited A Chained Dog Every Day Until The Dog Disappeared. But That Led To Something Amazing.

Jes is a member of PETA, and she feels incredibly strongly about the animals in her life. For years, one such animal was a dog named Edith. Jes saw Edith chained up day after day, so she started visiting the poor dog. She would bring the loving pooch treats, food, water, and once she even brought a doghouse to the trapped dog. Then, one day Edith’s family moved and took the dog with them. PETA spent a lot of time and energy tracking Edith down, and in March of 2016 her owner’s officially gave Edith to PETA because they were moving once again. This is an incredible and touching story, and if you check out the video below you can watch it all in close detail, and I’m sure that you’ll fall in love with Edith just the way that Jes did. Take a look! Now Edith and Jes are reunited and the two of them couldn’t possibly be happier! Share away, people!

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...
