What A Recovering Dog Does When He Sees Another Dog In Need Will Crush Your Heart

Sometime fate brings together people who desperately need each other, even if they might not know it themselves. Well, this time fate has brought together two dogs who needed each other, and a friendship quickly formed that is both beautiful and healing. Two dogs were picked up weeks apart and arrived at two separate shelters.

Both of the shelters, however, were in South Carolina. Simon is a one year old border collie who suffered at the hands of his previous owner. Sammie is a 4 month old puppy who’s been dragged by a car, spray-painted, and, horrifyingly, even shot.

The two of these puppies came together at a veterinary clinic. Simon went right up to Sammie’s operating table and rested his paw there. Sammie took in a lot of comfort from that simple act before he had to go in for a plethora of medical procedures that would hopefully manage to save his life.

These dogs understood what each other were going through. Jack O’Sullivan, a co-founder ofRescue Dogs Rock NYC (the rescue team that managed to save both Simon and Sammie) said that the compassion between the animals astounded her.

Both of the dogs are doing well now, and they’ve both begun recovering from not only their surgeries, but also their abusive ordeals. Sammie, sadly, lost his leg. He had been shot with a .22 caliber rifle and the doctors couldn’t save the leg.

At the clinic, though, Sammie gained a friend. Simon refused to leave his side the entire time. These two are friends for life now.

“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...
