Share them with us on our Facebook page, or right below in the comments. We LOVE to hear about your silly animal friends!

A Pair Of Cute Dogs Show Off Their Pitch-Perfect Music Skills

Mr.Dog — Wed, 09 Dec 2015 23:10:41 +0000

We’ve seen plenty of piano-playing dogs before, but most of the time they aren’t exactly musically talented. In the video below, however, we get to see a duo of fluff balls tickling the ivories…and boy are they good. Every time their owner plays a note, the dogs hit the exact same note. This is no small feat — most people have to study for years to master this skill.

We all knew dogs had incredible hearing, but this is something else!

I’d love to have these two play me a song with their pitch-perfect piano skills.

He’d Been In The Hospital For 8 Days Before A Nurse Brought His Friend To See Him

Costa, a homeless Brazilian man, ended up in hospital after being attacked by some street thugs. While his injuries were being treated, doctors discovered he had melanoma. This meant he’d have to stay for a couple of weeks in hospital while receiving treatment, which was a huge problem for Costa because he didn’t live on the streets by himself. He lived with Seco, his loving dog.

As he underwent skin cancer treatment, his best friend waited outside in the parking lot for days on end. Since hospital rules do not permit animals to enter, hospital staff provided food and water for the faithful little dog.

On the eighth day of his wait, the hospital made an exception to their no-animals rule and allowed the forlorn pooch to visit his friend. This is the heartwarming moment the two are reunited!

You can really see how much the little guy loves his human. The way he danced all over him filled my heart with joy.

Shelby had been wanting a dog for a while, so her boyfriend promised that he’d get her a loving puppy friend for her birthday. When the day finally came, she waited anxiously for her dream puppy to be in her arms…little did she know she’d soon be crying with joy for two very different reasons.

As she held the cute pup, her boyfriend told her to read the name tag. She was not prepared for what came next!

These Might Be The Most Helpful Dogs Ever — When You See This Trick, You’ll Agree

Mr.Dog — Tue, 13 Oct 2015 00:23:21 +0000

It’s just so hard to find good help these days. Luckily, for this German family, they don’t need to look any further than their adorable golden retrievers. Every time mom arrives home after buying the groceries, the eager hounds come running, ready to carry items in from the car.

I just love how it seems like a typical workplace environment: while two do all the working, the rest sit on the sidelines waiting for belly rubs. They must be unionized!

I hope there are some treats in it for the two hard workers at the end.

When new parents bring their baby home for the first time there is always that worry about how the family dog might react. After all, the baby will be a completely new thing to the dog and as we all know, our four-legged friends can have some pretty strange reactions to new things.

When this Yorkie met her new baby sister Malaya, her excited reaction was so heartwarming. Just watch as the cute pup meets the newest addition to the family for the very first time.

Every child should know the love of a pet, and it’s safe to say that baby Malaya is a very lucky girl to have such a gentle new friend.

Before This Pool Gets Drained At The End Of Summer, Something Adorable Happens

Mr.Dog — Tue, 15 Sep 2015 00:24:13 +0000

The dog days of summer may be behind us, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still have fun with our four-legged friends in the sun! One outdoor swimming pool in Calgary, Canada, had the brilliant idea of inviting local dog owners to bring their pups over for the last day of the season. The dogs had an incredible time taking a plunge in the pool and best of all, it helped raise money for a charity.

I’m super jealous I didn’t get an invite to this adorable day of fun, but I guess I can settle for watching the video a few more times.

This Cute Pug Just Found A Strange Toy On The Floor, And Her Reaction Is Hilarious

Mr.Dog — Fri, 11 Sep 2015 23:05:50 +0000

Nao the pug is a curious little dog. When she sees something new in her house, you can bet that she’ll go over to investigate.

One day, Nao was just hanging out at home when she spotted a bath toy lying on the floor. Intrigued by this new discovery, she decided to be a brave pug and face the unknown. As she got close to the toy, it began to move, much to her surprise.

I’m with you on this one, Nao. I also don’t trust little plastic men trying to swim on dry land. They’re up to something!

This Boy Had No Friends Until Kind Strangers Got Him One He So Desperately Needed

Mr.Dog — Fri, 11 Sep 2015 23:00:14 +0000

Evan has always had a hard time making friends. Often bullied and ignored because of kids not understanding why he might behave a bit differently, school life has been tough on the autistic child.

This all changed when Hazel came into his life. The golden retriever is a qualified service dog who was gifted to Evan and his family by kind strangers. They hoped the pup would help him bond with other kids in school. Not only is Hazel a trusty friend to Evan, but kids have started coming up to him at school to pet her, connecting with Evan at the same time.

My heart goes out to Evan and any other kids that have had to go through bullying. It’s nice to hear that he has a trusty friend now who loves him just the way he is.

One Man Couldn’t Figure Out How His Corgi Was Escaping…So He Set Up A Camera

Mr.Dog — Mon, 31 Aug 2015 00:18:03 +0000

Beau, an 11-week-old corgi, really isn’t a fan of hanging around in the kitchen while his owner is out, so every time his human leaves the house, he puts into effect a daring escape plan.

After getting through the supposedly “dog-proof” gate multiple times, his owner decided to set up a camera to catch him in the act. This is how the cute little guy was doing it all along!

I love the final bark after he clears the gate, basically an “I win this round, Mr. Gate!”

This Blind Woman Is Alive Thanks To Her Service Dog Doing The Most AMAZING Thing

Mr.Dog — Tue, 25 Aug 2015 01:36:43 +0000

Maria Colon lost her eye sight in 1992 and now completely relies on her service dog, Yolanda, for assistance. So when she woke up in her Philadelphia home to the smell of smoke one night, she knew she was completely helpless and needed her amazing friend to save her. By shouting “danger” to Yolanda, the smart dog knew exactly what to do…she called 911!

If calling 911 wasn’t amazing enough, the heroic pup also dragged her owner out of the house while they waited for the emergency services to turn up.

The crazy part — this is not the first time Yolanda has called 911 for her owner. Last year she had to do the same after Maria fell in the house and got knocked unconscious. Someone get this dog a medal!

This Pup Looks A Little Different, But To One Family, She Is Just Perfect

Mr.Dog — Fri, 21 Aug 2015 22:10:13 +0000

At just 10 weeks old, a puppy named Lisa was brought into the Humane Society of Silicon Valley with scars all over her face and inflamed eyelids that required surgery. While she got the care she needed, she would always bear the facial scars, and the staff worried that she would never find a permanent home — people can be pretty shallow, after all.

But they needn’t have worried. On seeing this “unusual-looking” puppy, the Doblar family instantly fell in love.

Meet Lucky, the cutie formerly known as Lisa.

Her inflamed eyes and other facial scars might have made it difficult for her to find a home, but personality-wise, she was just like any other puppy.

HSSV’s Finnegan Dowling said that despite her physical challenges, Lucky was a “pretty typical wiggly, squirmy, happy puppy” and that she was very social. “She loves other dogs and toys, is ridiculously kissy and she’ll lick your nose clean off…She wasn’t hesitant or frightened or timid at all.”

One day, the Doblar family came to the shelter looking for a new dog. They’d recently lost their old pooch, and wanted a special replacement. They immediately fell in love with Lucky.

“She’s pretty funky looking [but] she just has a wonderful, sparkling personality,” Christine Doblar told The Dodo. “The fact that she was going to each of us, and [was] just as loving and exuberant with everyone she greeted…we looked at a few more dogs but nobody could compare to that.”

The Doblars decided to adopt her that very day. They renamed her Lucky — they felt that both she and they were blessed to find one another.

Since then, she’s settled in pretty well.

What a beautiful lady!

Lucky is also getting to know her six-year-old lab brother, Pele, who had been “kind of depressed,” according to Doblar, over the death of the family’s other dog. Now, the two are becoming friends.

It’s important to remember that even if they look funny, all creatures need love and affection. There’s also something that we can take from Lucky, says Dowling. “It doesn’t occur to her that she is different from other puppies. She doesn’t compare herself to others. Whatever caused her injuries, she holds no malice towards anyone for it.”

This Puppy Had No Trouble Going Down The Stairs, But Her Sister Needed Some Help

Mr.Dog — Fri, 14 Aug 2015 00:01:11 +0000

Your first time doing anything can be tough and scary. This is especially true for tiny puppies, completely new to this big and often frightening world of ours.

It was shih tzu puppies Charlotte and Reece’s first attempt at traversing the stairs all by themselves, and while Charlotte was very brave about it, timid Reece had to be shown a bit of encouragement. Watch who steps in to help the tiny tyke make the epic journey down the stairs.

This Tiny Puppy Didn’t Trust The Other Pets Around His Food, So He Did This With His Bowl…

Mr.Dog — Thu, 13 Aug 2015 01:22:42 +0000

I’ve never met a dog whose life didn’t completely revolve around food. From stealing the cat’s food to eating straight out of the garbage can, anything within munching reach will get devoured.

This tiny Boston terrier puppy is no different. If he knows there’s food around, he’ll stop at nothing to get it. The only problem is that he doesn’t trust his housemates.

It seems like he has this system down. This pup may be little, but when it comes to protecting his dinner, he is fierce.
