He Walked Into The Police Station And Interrupted Officers. When They Looked Up? OMG!

Gorgi is a police dog, but he’s far from your average anything. Last year Gorgi showed up outside a police command center in Bayamón, Puerto Rico. He was very obviously malnourished and showed signs of having been abused.

Despite that, Gorgi was one of the friendliest pups that any of the officers had ever seen. They fed the little guy and gave him some water. He hung around the station for a while after eating before leaving.

However, that was the end of Gorgi.

He was back at the station the very next day. The officers began to really grow attached to the dog, so they pooled their money, got him a checkup at the vet, and adopted him as a station.

Gorgi was incredibly happy to be with these people that he’d taken such a liking too, and love blossomed quickly.

Since he was already around the station anyway, the officers got Gorgi a job on the force. He’s now the station’s surveillance dog!

They even got Gorgi is own special badge and vest. Check out how official this guy looks! Just seeing this picture makes me feel like I’m about to get pulled over by a dog. More than anything else at the station, though, Gorgi is responsible for easing tensions.

Whenever he’s around people feel a little bit happy and quite a bit more relaxed. It’s almost like he’s magic!

Gorgi loves his new job, for sure, but what really counts here are the friends that he’s made on the force. Once he was homeless, but now Gorgi is living like a king!

“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...

Speak out against the cruel dog meat trade

Much of the world sees dogs as their trusted companions, but in parts of Asia they suffer terribly as victims of the trade in dog meat for human consumption. In some Asian countries, dogs used for this industry are mostly stolen pets and they are sometimes tortured before being slaughtered. The dog meat trade is not only cruel, but is also linked to the spread of rabies and other diseases. HSI is working with local organizations in South Korea, China, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Indonesia, and India to sensitize the public about the harmful dog meat trade that thrives in these countries. We actively shut down farms in South Korea, assist farmers as they transition to more humane livelihoods, support our local Chinese partners in intercepting dog meat traders’ trucks, fund the care of confiscated and rescued animals and lobby for better laws throughout Asia. Take the pledge to fight the cruel dog meat trade >>> SIGN PETITION HERE <<<
