Someone Locked Their Dog In The Car On A Hot Day. Then This Guy Showed Up…

Every summer we hear that we are not supposed to leave our dogs in a hot car. Why do pet owners need to be reminded not to leave their pets in a hot car?! Mind boggling. An unidentified man in Grand Bend, Ontario was happy to help get a dog out of a car – by breaking the window with a very large rock!

The dog was rescued on Saturday at a music festival, and the temperature was about 86 degrees Fahrenheit. Will Costa, the man who posted the video, said that the Good Samaritan probably saved the dog’s life.


The announcer at the music festival had announced that there was a dog in a hot car and asked the owner to let the dog out. When no one came, the man in the blue shirt did what he had to do.

The owners got to the car nearly an hour after the dog was rescued. The police have taken custody of the dog. That is one happy and very lucky dog.

If you find a dog in a hot car, the best thing to do, according to the humanesociety.org, is to get the license plate number, make, and model of the car, try to find the owners, if you can’t call the non-emergency number for the police or animal control.

Finally, stay by the car until help arrives. In some states, it is legal for a good Samaritans to remove the dog – but it is important for you to know the laws (and what you are allowed to do) in your state.

Share away, people.

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...

She Visited A Chained Dog Every Day Until The Dog Disappeared. But That Led To Something Amazing.

Jes is a member of PETA, and she feels incredibly strongly about the animals in her life. For years, one such animal was a dog named Edith. Jes saw Edith chained up day after day, so she started visiting the poor dog. She would bring the loving pooch treats, food, water, and once she even brought a doghouse to the trapped dog. Then, one day Edith’s family moved and took the dog with them. PETA spent a lot of time and energy tracking Edith down, and in March of 2016 her owner’s officially gave Edith to PETA because they were moving once again. This is an incredible and touching story, and if you check out the video below you can watch it all in close detail, and I’m sure that you’ll fall in love with Edith just the way that Jes did. Take a look! Now Edith and Jes are reunited and the two of them couldn’t possibly be happier! 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...
