They Moved Away And Left Their Dog Crying At The Door. But Moments Later… Oh My.

Dogs can sometimes be heartbreakingly loyal. This little girl waited by the door to her home for days. She sat there, not moving, just crying for her owner to let her in. But that wouldn’t happen because her owner had moved away, abandoning the dog to fend for herself.


Luckily, a neighbor saw the dog, crying on the doorstep of its previous home in Fresno, California, and the neighbor made a plea to Facebook, trying desperately to find help for the dog.



A woman named Shirley Martindale-Horner responded to the call and picked the dog up. She brought her to a groomer because her hair had gotten impossibly long. She later named the dog Aubrey, and Aubrey drew quite a following on the Internet.

Thousands of people saw her photos, and they all sent messages of support to her and her adoptive family. Aubrey’s pictures were first available on the page “Lost & Missing Pets in the 559 Fresno County” (sic). Her original post has been shared over 8,000 times.

After letting the world know that Aubrey had been taken to the groomer, and after showing the world what she now looked like, Shirley had one more piece of information to share with the Internet. She told everyone that a home had been found for Aubrey.

People were ecstatic, and those who had been following the story of course wanted to know who Aubrey would be staying with and where exactly that home was. That was easy because Aubrey wouldn’t be going far at all. She would be staying with Shirley.

“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...

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...
