Their Pup Isn’t Deaf, But He Won’t Come When Called. When They Realize? WHOA.

Many pet parents are proud to show off new tricks they have trained their dogs to do! But not Stanley’s parents, his parents went on Imgur to tell the world that Stanley, well, isn’t the brightest bulb in the box!

Stanley was adopted by his human parents from Golden Retriever Rescue of Mid-Florida. Stanley hit it off well with his new parents, their kids, and other pets. The family had trained their first golden, Karma, but Stanley wasn’t catching on – at all.

His new family was worried about him; he had a tendency to run off and get onto countertops. The family hired two trainers, who both were unable to help – one suggested Stanley was mentally impaired.

The family veterinarian said his hearing and vision were fine, but Stanley didn’t respond to his name or even simple commands like ‘sit.’

Stanley has a favorite remote control and stuffed animal; he gets very distressed if he can’t find them every day.

A friend recommended a Doggy IQ test: can Stanley come out from under a blanket, respond to his name, and find a treat in a cup – well, no, he couldn’t. The family concluded Stanley is just different, and their veterinarian said it may be a combination of stubbornness and inbreeding, but they will never know.

But ‘why’ Stanley does things the way he doesn’t isn’t important. Stanley is given more time to process things, and his remote and stuffed animal are always close by. The family loves Stanley and Stanley loves them, and that is what matters!

“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...

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...

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...
