Devoted Dogs Refuse To Leave Side Of Their Dying Baby Sister In The Hospital

It was an extremely rare and even more tragic event. Nora Hall suffered a stroke on both sides of her brain last month on April 6th. She was only five months old. Nora survived the trauma of her stroke, but her prognosis gave her not long to live. Nora’s parents, Mary and John Hall were destroyed.

Her mother posted on Facebook that their world had been shattered. They weren’t the only ones. Their two eight year old Basset Hounds were also devastated.

During the last few days of Nora’s life, the Minneapolis Children’s Hospital allowed the dogs to visit her. As soon as they were near the baby, they refused to leave.

Doctors found out that Nora was suffering from pulmonary hypertension, a rare disease with an exceptionally high mortality rate. Her MRI revealed that her brain wasn’t receiving the proper amount of oxygen, and it had shrunk down to half its size. Her brain had been so badly damaged that she was incapable of breathing on her own.

Just yesterday the doctors removed Nora’s breathing tubes in an attempt to let her pass away peacefully rather than drawing out a long and painful death for the young girl.

The dogs stayed with Nora the whole time, helping to keep her and her family at ease. There’s currently a GoFundMe account that’s been set up to help diminish the cost of Nora’s medical treatments for her family.

If you’re planning on giving your money to anything at the moment, this would be the place to go to. This family deserves to have an easier time of it. On the 4th of May, baby Nora breathed her last with her puppies at her feet. RIP Baby Nora… you will be missed.

“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...
