Newborn Puppy Was Dumped On The Street, Crying – Still Finds It In Himself To Trust Humans

The story of any animal being rescued is enough to pull on your heartstrings, but this little guy has a truly unique story. Unlike other dogs, this sweetheart was abandoned as a newborn. Since he was fresh out of the womb when he was left out on the street, he faced different challenges than most dogs. His story of finding a forever home will warm your heart.

Joy was just a teeny puppy when his owners left him for dead on a sidewalk in Romania. When the rescuers from Howl of a Dog found him, they knew they had to take him in. It was heartbreaking to see this lost soul, crying and alone. With a little love and care, Joy was able to become a wonderful pet.

Newborn puppies face different challenges than puppies that are abandoned in a later stage of development. Joy was still blind and deaf when he felt his feet hit the hard sidewalk. He didn’t have his teeth yet, either. Since puppies this young aren’t able to maintain their body temperature on their own, rehabilitating this little guy required extra attention.

It was all worth it in the end. As Joy grew bigger and stronger, his caretakers thoroughly enjoyed his loving demeanor. By the end of his first week in his new life, this pup was eagerly sipping milk out of a baby bottle. He was even used to being held and interacting with his humans.

Like all young puppies, Joy spent most of his time sleeping. By his third week with his rescuing family, he had made a best friend. A white Siberian tiger stuffed animal accompanied him on his adventures. As Joy continued to grow bigger with each passing day, it became apparent that he would fit right in with his new family. It was time to introduce him to the other dogs.

This puppy was a pip squeak compared to his big brothers. They absolutely adored his adventurous attitude, playing with him and letting him climb all over them. Joy was shaping up to be a treasured part of the pack.

Finally, a few weeks before Christmas, the team at Howl of a Dog received wonderful news: Joy had found a forever home. “A family from the Netherlands fell in love with Joy and wanted to adopt him,” the organization shared. Needless to say, this pup was thrilled to go home to a family of his own.

“They were so eager to meet Joy, that they couldn’t wait another day,” rescuers reported. “They decided to drive across Europe to personally pick him up.” With that kind of dedication, it was clear that this was the right family for the dog.

The rescuers met the adoptive parents halfway through the continent, in Vienna. They brought along Joy’s favorite toy, which the puppy would keep by his side as a source of comfort as he entered his new life.

Joy’s new family couldn’t be happier to have him. This once-abandoned puppy has become an essential part of the family. It is heartwarming to see him frolic and play at his new home.

Joy’s story reminds us what we can do when we give a little love. Please SHARE this with your friends and family.

Little Dog Has No Idea How To Get A Treat, So Big Dog Intervenes In Hilarious Way

A video has gone viral featuring a dog owner trying to teach her puppy Romeo how to “sit” and offering a treat as a reward. But the best part is the response of the other dog in the clip, Rory.

Rory, the older of the two Siberian Huskies, follows instructions perfectly. He shakes hands as instructed and is given a treat. Romeo, on the other hand, is less cooperative.

The puppy has no interest in listening to his human’s directions. He keeps hopping up on her lap and lunging at the delectable treat in her hands.

But Rory tries to put the younger pup in his place by putting his paw over Romeo’s head to push him down and try to get him to obey the command.

Facebook/LADbible

One Facebook user commented,

“OMG this is so cute!!! He’s trying to teach him.”

Another added,

“This is the best thing I’ve ever seen in my life.”

By the end of the video it appears that Romeo has learned the ropes and obeys when he’s asked to sit and shake paws. Aww, good boy!

Husky Puppy Tries Howling For First Time, Ends Up Sounding Like A Cat In Distress

A baby’s first word is something that all parents wait for with baited breath. And it’s no different for parents with furbabies!

A puppy’s first howls are usually high-pitched and piercing, especially if it’s a Husky puppy. But it’s music to the ears of a pet parent.

Like this tiny little Husky puppy’s first ‘howls’. His instincts automatically make him go “Awoooo” like his wolf ancestors. Although his howls are not yet as refined as his older relatives, this pup sure has heart!

It’s too cute watching him clearing his throat and trying over and over to get the howl right.

This puppy’s face looks so intense as he tries out his newly found vocal cords! It’s almost as if he’s calling to his brethren with some very important news.

The funniest part is how the puppy sounds more like a cat than a howling wolf! Keep trying little buddy! You’ll get there!

Shelter Puppy Says Incredible “Thank You” Moments After Being Adopted

All abandoned dogs wonder when they will be saved from the animal shelter and finally feel love. When that day finally came for this sweet dog, and got to leave the shelter and go home with his new momma, he wanted to show her how appreciative he was. So he said ‘thank you’ in the most beautiful way.

It’s hard to understand why anyone would ever want to hurt a dog. They love us unconditionally, no matter what, which unfortunately makes them easy targets for terrible people. This sweet pup was discovered tied up to a chain, with nobody there to love him.

The adorable dog had likely been abused, so it would be understandable if he didn’t trust humans anymore. But in this dog’s case, that wasn’t the case. The little guy had so much love left to give and thankfully, a woman adopted him and brought him home with her.

On the way to his new home, the dog sat in the car next to his new momma and wanted to show her just how grateful he was. As he cuddled up to her and nuzzled his head into her arm, she sobbed with both sorrow and love.

The poor pup tried to comfort her, sensing her tears. The tears she shed were for the sadness this dog had endured and for the happiness that she knew he would finally feel now he was safe in her care. It’s hard to watch this video without getting a tear in your eye, yourself.

What is even more pure about this video is that the dog feels like it is his responsibility to make his new momma feel better. When actually it is now his turn to be the one taken care of.

Watch the touching video of the sweet dog below – make sure you have a box of tissues on hand. Share this beautiful video with your friends to raise awareness of adoption. There are so many animals without homes that need a loving family just as much as newborn puppies.

When police entered the backyard of Kristine Vanderberg’s home in Bay City, Michigan uninvited, her pit bull bit the police officer. Sarge, the pitbull, was only doing his job of defending the home, but now Vanderberg has to fight to keep her dog from being euthanized.

Vanderberg was inside the house taking a nap when police arrived. After Sarge attacked the police officer, the other officers shot him with a stun gun, and has been held captive by the Bay County Animal Control ever since.

Corgi Puppy Sees Miniature Pumpkin For First Time, Has Millions In Love When He ‘Attacks’ It

In the animal kingdom, there are many species that are natural rivals of each other. Cats versus dogs, cats versus cucumbers, rodents versus birds, etc.

Sure some of these are predatory/prey rivalries, but it still follows the competitive instinct of survival: every creature for himself!

Now, we have discovered another classic rivalry to add to the list: corgi puppy versus… a pumpkin?

Don’t let this incredibly adorable picture fool you – these two are passionate enemies!

Bilbo the corgi puppy cannot deal with this miniature pumpkin. And understandably so! As two viewers put it
:

I couldn’t have said it better myself.

Honestly, Bilbo’s reaction here reminds me of the first time I tried to carve a pumpkin. I also barked at the pumpkin to show my dominance before pawing at it and commencing a poorly made pumpkin carving.

At only 8 or 9 weeks old, Bilbo here is already at the top of his game. He’s not going to let anything intimidate him, even this little pumpkin! Just look at him paw at the devilish thing. Go Bilbo! Teach that pumpkin who’s boss!

Mom Is Stressed Her Baby Won’t Stop Crying But The Dog’s Solution Has Her Cracking Up

It’s a natural reaction for puppies to be jealous when there’s a new dog at home, but will they feel the same way when you bring a baby home? There are so many animal behavioral studies which shows that dogs do get jealous. They can feel love and loyalty, but they are also sensitive when it comes to rejection. Some dogs feel that when their human parents bring a new dog home, they feel like they’ve been replaced. But somehow, this has been a question among new parents who already have a dog before they even had children.

No parent would want to give up their dog because they had a baby. So what they do is try to get their dogs and their baby get along with each other to live a happy and harmonious life together. However, a mom discovered that her pup is not appreciating the attention that the new baby wants. Sibling rivalry is definitely brewing, but in a good way. But it is not new for dogs to be jealous of their new siblings. Let’s go ahead and find out how this mom discovered this cute rivalry between her baby and her pup.

We all know that babies would cry to get their mom’s attention. So when this pup realized that this is how he can get his human mom to notice him too, you wouldn’t believe what he did next! This funny yet interesting exchange was caught on video when both baby and pup are in the same bed. The pup already knew that mom is filming. The baby starts crying, clearly asking for something but the pup noticed this and he started howling while looking at his mom, wanting to know how she would react. Whether she would agree or not.

When the mom didn’t disagree and call him out on his loud howling, the pup continues to do this when the baby started crying again, wanting mom to know that yep! He was able to make the baby stop and mom seems to like it! The baby did it again and again and the pup howled still looking at the camera, and the baby ceased from crying. And before the baby could start crying once more, he beat her this time with his loud and long howl and the baby seemed to this exchange.

The pup may have noticed his effect on the crying baby which is why he kept on doing it while looking at their mom for approval, or maybe he just wants the peace and quiet that he was used to around the house. What was sure in this video is that this pup would not let his new sibling control the situation. He is surely the boss in this house and he knows how to impress his mom too!

Stray Dog Is So Happy to Show Rescuers Her Babies

Hope for Paws received a texted image of a stray dog and her puppies. The dog had wandered to a woman’s house five days earlier, and promptly gave birth right in her yard!
The dog, now named “Spring,” was the friendliest lady. She came right up to Loreta Frankonyte and jumped up to say ‘hello.’

She also let Eldad Hagar approach and handle her puppies, and soon they were on their way to a new beginning.

Spring and her pups are now with the LoveJoy Foundation so they can find a new home.

After Spending a Lifetime Behind Bars in a Kill Shelter, this Dog Gets a Real Bed for the First Time

Sadly, Bandit is just one of many dogs who spend their days behind bars at kill shelters, getting fed just enough to survive. And before long, they’re euthanized and never get a chance to live a happy life. They don’t get to play like normal dogs, they don’t receive love, and some have never even felt what it’s like to sleep in a bed.
Thankfully for Bandit, he was one of the lucky ones who got to escape that horrible life in a kill shelter. He now gets to live out the rest of his life in his new furever home!

Bandit, a senior dog, was at a high-kill shelter in Romania and was rescued by Howl Of A Dog, a nonprofit animal rescue organization. Bandit had a large tumor on his leg, causing pain and making it difficult for him to walk. Once rescued, he received surgery to remove the tumor and he’s since recovered very well from it.

Now Bandit gets to live like a normal dog and experience things for the first time that many pups take for granted, like the feeling of soft blankets and rolling around in the grass. I’m so happy that HOAD saved Bandit from such horrible living conditions!

Soldier Returns From 9 Months Service And Surprises Dog With Most Adorable ‘What The Fluff’ Challenge

Unless you’ve been living under a rock recently, I’m sure you’ve seen a ‘What the Fluff challenge’ video or two online. Well, in this special clip, two internet trends have come together to make the cutest viral video you’ll see in a long while. A soldier’s homecoming gets mixed in with a ‘What the Fluff challenge’ in this adorable video.

If you don’t know what a ‘What the Fluff challenge’ is, then the premise is that a human stands in a doorway with a large sheet held in front of them. An unsuspecting dog sits and watches as their human shows their face and then raises the sheet up to hide. As they drop the sheet to the floor, they hide behind a corner or dart into another adjoining room. The dog is then left wondering where on earth their ‘magical human’ disappeared to.

It’s not just dogs that are getting the ‘What the Fluff’ treatment either, as people have started spooking their cats and even their birds. No matter the animal, the reactions are always hilarious. Some vary from confusion to minor distress, to anger, to the smarter creatures figuring out what has happened straight away.

This recent video of a soldier returning home and surprising his beloved dog using the challenge is possibly my favorite so far.

Private 1st class Kevin had been away for 9 months in Fort Bragg, training for the Special Forces Qualification. Kevin was granted leave to come home before returning to base to continue training. While his family and friends knew he was returning, there was one special guy who didn’t know the exciting news. So, instead, they decided to surprise him.

“His younger brother Jacob and I thought it would be fun to do the #WhatTheFluffChallenge. While we were all very excited and emotional to have him at home, no one was happier than our 4-year-old Golden Retriever, Zephyr, and none of us anticipated Z’s reaction.”

Kevin’s mom, Lisa Lord, captured the adorable surprise on camera for all of us to enjoy. Golden retriever Zephyr may have been unimpressed at first, but as soon as he saw Kevin, he can’t contain himself. His reaction to seeing his beloved owner is so adorable, your heart will barely be able to take it.

Watch the adorable soldier ‘What the Fluff’ video below. Have you tried the ‘What the Fluff challenge’ and had an especially great reaction? We love hearing your thoughts at Happiest, so be sure to leave your comments in the section below. Share this video with your friends to brighten up their day. 

Daddy’s Trying To Teach New Puppy To Howl, His Comeback Has Everyone In Laughter

Puppies have to learn a ton of new things when they come into the world! From what is safe to eat to the fact that no one likes being nibbled on, the lessons are endless! But one of the most common puppy lessons is how to howl! Dogs are descendants of wolves and that means they adopt many of the same traits – one of which is howling. That’s why this caring new puppy dad decided that he would be the one to teach his adorable beagle pup how to howl like the wolves roaming in the wilderness.

YouTube

According to Cesar’s Way, the urge to howl is part of a dog’s genetic makeup. Even as puppies, canines realize that howling is a way to draw attention to themselves and communicate important updates about their safety. That’s why dogs howl when sirens go off in the distance and when animals or people get too close to their home! These are exciting events that need alerting to in the eyes of a dog! Cesar explains that, as long as the howling isn’t accompanied by aggressive tendencies, it’s totally normal canine behavior!

So, when Mom filmed as Dad laid down with their new 8-week-old pup named Moose and placed him on his chest, she couldn’t keep her excitement to herself. This was going to be a lesson that Moose would remember forever and she wanted to capture it on tape. First, Dad started to howl loudly. Then, after a couple of barks and whimpers, Moose caught on and let out a howl that was just too cute for words. Take a peek at this adorable lesson for yourself by pressing “play” on the video below. He’s going to be a brave dog one day!

Dog Refuses To Go Inside, Internet In Hysterics Upon Seeing Daughter’s Plan Fail Miserably

Pet owners decided it was time to bring their dog Cody in the house, but he felt rather differently. At the end of the day, the natural thing to do is go inside your house, wind down, and get cozy before bedtime. Dogs, on the other hand, have a deep-rooted love for the outdoors that keep them from wanting even what their most beloved owners want them to do. For this fluffy Samoyed dog named Cody, staying outside was his greatest desire. Samoyeds love the cold and this dog is no exception.

Whether early mornings bring about the challenge of rolling out of bed, or whatever brings about the lazy moments, we all know exactly how this dog feels which is partially why this is just too funny. The attempts to get Cody inside just keep getting better with every second. Watch how Cody’s owner reacts when his laziness can’t be reversed in the adorable video below.

Woman adopted two lion cubs but was forced to give them up. Now she goes to visit them after 7 years away

Animals, unlike humans, will never forget what you’ve done for them. This is proven many times before, and here is another story that testifies about animals’ love and loyalty.

It doesn’t matter how long time passed since the separation, it can be weeks, months or even years, because animals are uniquely capable to recognize someone who has shown them compassion, love and kindness in the past.

My first video to witness this incredible reaction of an animal meeting its caretaker after a long time was of a dog that had been lost then found again and returned to his owners. However, this is the first time to see not one but two lions meeting the woman who’s been taking care of them 7 years ago and then reacting in such never seen way to meeting her after long years.

Just watch the encounter in the video below and I promise you it will stir feelings.

According to British paper the Daily Mirror, a woman had adopted two abandoned lions 7 years ago. However, as they grew she couldn’t take care of them anymore, and so they were placed in a zoo in Switzerland.

The wild cats were later moved to a specialist lion park in Slovakia, where this amazing reunion takes place.

No one could expect the reaction these two lions would give upon seeing the woman. Obviously, it’s a nervous moment as the big cats approach quickly the gate.

But then watch what happens when the pair of them jump up at the gate and recognize a familiar face.

This video is to disapprove anyone who says that animals don’t have feelings.

What an amazing and special moment to see – true love never fails to disappoint.

Feel free to share this lovely clip with all your animal loving friends.
