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!

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...

Discarded Dog Was Waiting To Die, Then She Found A Reason To Live

There are no green acres for retired hunting dogs in Ireland. No master's voice calling them home for good. No curling up by the fire to warm those world-weary bones. When she outlived her usefulness in the field, all Merci could expect was a place to curl up and die. The 10-year-old sighthound, also known as a lurcher, found just that in a farmer's shed. Then, unexpectedly, she found mercy. Someone spotted the ailing animal and got in touch with Gina Hetherington, founder of PAWS Animal Rescue Ireland . When they found her, Merci's body was in terrible condition. She was given a medical score of "1," the lowest a dog can get and still breathe — meaning, according to the Veterinary Medicine Center at Ohio State University , there's "no visible body fat" with ribs, pelvic bones and vertebrae "evident from a distance." In a word, she was emaciated. "The fleas were literally crawling off her he...

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!
