Carl Gough says the attack began in the kitchen of his Manchester apartment when the woman beat her four-year-old dog with a shoe. She then chased Lennox down a hallway and kicked him.

A UK man was thrown out of his home when he confronted his pregnant landlady for hitting her Rottweiler with a shoe and kicking him numerous times.  When he posted the video online and reported the crime to police, he was told there was nothing they could do because “it’s only a dog.”  Thankfully, the dog has now been removed from this house of horror.

Carl Gough says the attack began in the kitchen of his Manchester apartment when the woman beat her four-year-old dog with a shoe.  She then chased Lennox down a hallway and kicked him.

“I have been out with some friends and came home. I opened the door and went to the kitchen and she must have not seen me or something,” the bartender explained.

“I saw her beating the dog. It was horrific to watch. I asked her what she was doing and she said she was punishing it because it wouldn’t sit down.

“She then started kicking it in the hallway. Afterwards she kicked off me with when I confronted her and threw me out.

“She said there wasn’t a problem with it and that her partner also beats up the dog. I’m scared for its safety. It needs to be removed.

“I’d only been living there for two weeks and she’s kicked me out now.  I’ve got nowhere to go so I’m going to end up sleeping on the streets.”

Gough had only been living in the two-bedroom apartment for a couple of weeks, and thankfully he was there to film the brutal incident.  He posted the video online, and contacted the RSPCA and called police.

“The police turned around to me and said they can’t do anything because it’s only a dog. They said if I don’t pull the videos down I can get done for harassment.

“I was absolutely disgusted. I haven’t done anything wrong yet the police are telling me I’ll get arrested and doing nothing about her.”

After numerous posts were made on the RSPCA’s Facebook page, they told concerned folks:

“This dog is now in our care and we are investigating. A date has been set to interview the person in the video but, as our investigation is ongoing, I’m afraid we can’t give any more information at this time.”

Hopefully the investigation will ensure that Lennox is not returned to his home and that this heartless woman charged with abuse, which most certainly is against the law in Manchester and all parts of the UK.  Click here if you’d like to visit the Greater Manchester Police’s Facebook page and give them a piece of your mind.

It is also hoped that this woman’s abusive behavior is addressed with the help of a therapist before she gives birth and treats her child similarly.

Though the $8,000 was left in the donation box in the cat center, it will go towards all the animals they take in.  They care for over 10,000 animals every year, and that money will go a long way in helping keep them fed and healthy.

They also offer free adoptions and vaccinations for active military members as veterans who are in need of emotional support animal, and they rely on donations to keep this program afloat.

When we see goodness in the world, we are often inspired to go good ourselves, which was exactly the case for another nameless patron, who put $2,000 into the office donation bin.  This will likely help save a number of pets in dire need of emergency medical care.

Now they just need people to adopt the many animals they mind!  If you live in the SoCal area and would like to take a look at some of their adoptables.

Pablo told Clarin.com he took his three dogs, Tayron, Ayken and Afro out for a walk in his Buenos Aires, Argentina, neighborhood. When they returned home he thought all three dogs had gone up to the apartment with him but that wasn’t the case. Only Ayken and Afro went up and Tayron stayed outside the complex. The pet owner didn’t realize his dog was missing until hours later and by then Tayron was gone.

The couple say the black French Bulldog is a very special dog. The Argentinean couple had been trying to conceive a child and had even experienced two failed IVF treatments. During this difficult time Tyron provided them with the love and peace they needed. Fortunately, the calm environment the dog helped create allowed the wan-to-be-parents to naturally conceive.

When the dog went missing, the owners didn’t hesitate to pull all stops and spend whatever was necessary to bring their dog back home where he belonged. They created a Facebook page and hired a printing company to produce 6,000 lost dog flyers they plastered all over the city. Thanks to the flyers Tyron was found and returned home.

On Jan. 31st, Tyron was accidentally left outside the gate, but the loyal dog waited on the sidewalk for his owner to come get him. As the dog waited for Pablo or the gate to open, a fifteen-year-old boy walking by saw the pet and knew he was lost. The teenager sat next to the dog for an hour waiting for someone to come by looking for the pet, and when no one did, the good Samaritan called his father, told him about the lost dog and asked to be picked up long with the dog.

For 24 days the teenager and his father, named Fernando, took care of Tayron. They walked him four times a day, bought him a new leash and even allowed him on their beds. All this time, the rescuers hoped to eventually reunite the dog with his owner.

Jarvis wrote on News.com.au that she met Jose on the Lower East Side of Manhattan one afternoon. He had a dirty coat on and was holding the small dog.

“A man approached me as I was about to enter a cab [and said] ‘will you buy my dog, she’s $100,’” wrote Jarvis.

The two of them exchanged a few words and the woman learned Jose was about to go to jail and that’s why he could no longer care for the dog. At that moment Jarvis couldn’t accept the pet, nor did she think it was a good idea to give a future inmate money in exchange for a pet, however, the woman asked Jose to give her a call the following day if he did not find anyone to take the dog. The very next day, Jose and Tiny met with the journalist and finalized Tiny’s new living arrangements.

Jarvis doesn’t have the details on why Jose is serving time, when he will get out, or if he will even come back for his dog. All this woman knows is that the circumstances that led Tiny to lose her owner are unfortunate, and even though Jose could have easily abandoned the dog on the streets, he didn’t. He tried the best he could to get Tiny a new home, and the dog found a temporary one with Jarvis.

Tiny will be in great hands while Jose serves time, and even though Jose might have felt he lost the only friend he had, Jarvis assured him that once he is out, he can pick up Tiny and reunite with his pet. Jarvis never paid Jose the $100 he asked for, she is pet sitting at no cost.

How many of us would do the same thing for a man about to go to jail?

In Meridian, Texas, a local hunter came across a dog caught in a trapper’s snare.  He immediately called for help, and the dog was saved from a terrible fate of freezing or starving to death.  After the dog was rescued from the trap, the man decided to adopt him, making for one happy ending for one lucky dog.

The man called Bosque County Rescue Kennels, or BARK for short, after finding the dog on January 10^th.  Volunteers there were told the dog was hopelessly trapped in a snare, and in dire need of help.

BARK is not allowed to go onto private property and pull a rescue, so they called in the park ranger service.  The person answering the call was not only a ranger, but a volunteer member of BARK, and a Texas Parks and Wildlife game warden as well.  Although he was not on the clock that day, he dropped everything he was doing to go and rescue the dog.

The warden met up with the hunter, and he was brought to where the dog had been discovered.  Then the two proceeded to get the dog out of the trap, only to notice that the dog was badly injured by the trap.

They got the dog out of the woods and to an animal clinic as fast as they could.  His front leg was badly damaged in the incident, and the rescuers were informed that the dog may have been trapped in that snare for as long as five days.  They could tell just from the malnourished and dehydrated state the dog was brought in with.

The vet staff took care of the dog’s leg.  They were able to reconstruct it, and they’re saying a full recovery is possible.  However, the dog is not out of the woods yet.  He’ll still need medical attention due to the lack of food and water, and the toll that took on him.  As for now, he is in a foster home for some daily hydrotherapy, and regular bandage changes.

This is not where the story ends, though.  The hunter was so concerned with the fate of the dog, that in the end he inquired about adopting the dog.  It was decided that the hunter’s home and family would be a great fit, and they now lovingly call the dog, “Lucky.”

A Maricopa County Sheriff’s deputy and a few good Samaritans stopped what could have been a tragedy on Arizona’s busy I-10 freeway.  A dog was loose in traffic, weaving in and out of cars trying to escape.  They managed to get the dog off of the road and to safety before anything bad happened.

A sheriff’s deputy was responding to what he thought was a traffic accident.  Cars and trucks were backing up big time on the I-10, congesting traffic. Upon his arrival, he came across several people out of their cars trying to corral a large, brown dog running through traffic.

The officer stopped any more traffic from passing through the area, and the others helping got the dog into a car, and away from harm.  Many people on the road were trying their best to hold back oncoming traffic, a risky move on such a busy stretch of road.

No one, including the dog, was injured in the incident.  The dog was taken away to a local animal shelter, where he underwent a medical exam to ensure his health.  After it was determined the dog was physically unharmed, the hunt for his family is on.

Bastidas studied veterinary medicine in Chile and traveled across his native country on his bike, but upon graduation he decided to travel to Europe, visit his sister in Vienna, and explore the European continent on his bike. His two-wheel excursion started in France and from there he traveled to Vienna. His plan was to finish his road trip in Turkey, but on his way there he made an unplanned 5-month stop in Serbia, where he worked in a sustainable green farm and stumbled upon the seven puppies he rescued from a garbage dump.

On January 2, 2015, he was assigned to go buy potatoes at a local store. Bastidas left on his bike, but due to the harsh winter he didn’t find potatoes. On his way back he made a detour and passed the local garbage dump, that’s when eh heard the cries of dogs. Being a natural dog lover and a certified vet, Bastidas knew that if there were dogs out in the open they wouldn’t survive the winter.

The cyclist made a stop and found seven black puppies roaming around looking for food and shelter. Knowing he couldn’t leave them there to their own fate, Bastidas went back home, asked the homeowner for permission to bring the dogs abck with him, and once he got his landlord’s approval, he picked up the pets, brought them home, nursed them and found them all good homes.

One of the lucky pets found a permanent home with Bastidas. He named his new four-legged best friend Gospodin Dinosaurus (Mr. Dianosour) and together they continued to explorer Europe, making new friends, treasuring unforgettable memories until it was time to travel back home to South America.

Gospodin Dinosaurus and his owner slept out in the open some nights, but for most of their journey, they worked as pet and house sitters, dog walkers, or did odd jobs. Now, the fully grown pup is back in South America and his owner is glad he took a chance traveling Europe with nothing more than a bike. Thanks to this risky and unforgettable experience, Gospodin Dinosaurus and his siblings are alive.

The sweaters are a labor of love.  Each one of them can take upwards of 20 hours from start to finish.  She started the idea about five years ago.  She had set out o make a selection of Santa Claus outfits, woolly antlers and scarves for dogs in need.  She also reconditions old blankets into coats.

“I have spent over 4,000 hours knitting but it’s all worthwhile when I see them sporting their new jumpers and hats,” said Brown.  I started knitting from an early age and after making a few coats for my own greyhounds it seemed like a great way to help the animal shelters.”

“It’s really sweet seeing them in their festive Christmas jumpers, I think they look really sweet and it’s giving much needed help to the rescue centers.  Greyhounds have very thin fur so they really feel the cold during the winter so my gifts help keep them warm during walks.”

“Making coats and jumpers for these dogs saves the rescue homes a lot of money that can be better spent saving more dogs off the streets and feeding them,” she continued.

“The rescue homes have to spend the money they raise on vets bills and nursing the dogs back to health so my coats help them to prioritize their money.  It feels like I’m knitting and sewing all the time, I’m never doing anything else – but I know it’s all worth it.”

“Whenever I send my parcels off to the rescue homes I feel really proud as I know it’s going to really help the dogs.      There are so many dogs that won’t be re-homed this Christmas so for many of them it’s the only gift they will get.”

The name of her company is KnittedWithLove.co.uk, and any money she makes through it goes directly back into more source materials, and to assist with care and fostering as well.  If you’d like to learn more, or see what is available through the website, click here.  There are more than just Christmas items available as well!

According to BBC News, a man by the name of Naoto Matsumura is the last person living in Tomioka, Japan.  The area was devastated after the disasters at the Fukushima power plant, causing almost all of it’s residents to flee.

People left in such a rush, than many doors were left open, and many animals were left abandoned.  Matsumura has taken it upon himself to be the personal guardian of the animals still living in the area.

He takes car of all of the abandoned animals, and lives by candle light.  He’s become known as the Guardian of Fukushima’s Animals.

He does his best to ensure that he gets as much food as possible for himself and the animals from outside the disaster zone. However, because he’s decided to stay behind to help, he’s most likely the world most radioactive man as well.

A Rowlett High School student by the name of Zack Pavageau is being considered a local hero for locating and returning a dog named Cujo to his family.  The young man also was given a $1,000 scholarship, and a driving course gift card.

Back on August the 27th, Cujo some how got out of his yard, and was nowhere to be seen.  That’s when a massive search campaign started to take shape.  Using both social media outlets like Facebook and Twitter, “Team Cujo” as it was called began an exhaustive search.

This past Thursday, four weeks since Cujo went missing, he was finally found by Pavageau.  Team Cujo was so overjoyed to finally know that the dog was safe and sound, and wanted to reward him.

Pavageau had been out doors when by luck, he came across Cujo.  Then he called his father, who called Cujo’s family.  After confirming that the dog they had found actually was Cujo, he got brought to a local animal hospital for a check up.

Cujo was put on an IV solution to get him re-hydrated and help replace some of the missing nutrients he needed after being on his own for four weeks, surviving outside.  Otherwise, Cujo is in very good health, and as one could imagine, Cujo’s humans are more than happy to have him back.
