Her Dad Brought Home A Strange Puppy. But Look Closely… Because That’s NOT A Regular Dog.

Hailey Hanestad was five years old when her dad brought her a surprise. Haily’s family lived on a ranch in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, so Hailey was pretty familiar with animals, but that made her no less delighted when her father brought her a furry bundle of joy. This was no ordinary dog, though.

No, that would be too boring. Hailey’s dad had brought her a baby coyote! They named the coyote Wiley, and he very quickly became a normal member of the family.

He and Hailey became practically inseparable, they loved each other so much. They hung out and played around together just like any young girl and her dog would.

Wiley even wore a collar like a regular household dog! Some things made Wiley different, though. For one thing, he refuses to eat raw meat.

He’s a picky eater and prefers to have venison and fried eggs.

But he still gets baths like a regular dog (though he doesn’t look very happy about that, does he?)

And Hailey’s dad even takes Wiley on walks.

The family set up an outdoor enclosure for Wiley that functions very much like a natural coyote habitat. They’ve really gone above and beyond in taking care of this coyote who used to just be a defenseless baby animal in need.

Of course, Wiley has paid them back again and again with his adoration and love.

This family is certainly an unconventional one, but they’re happy live just like this and just with each other. The love they share is amazing! 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...
