Try watching this without wanting to give the little guy a huge hug (it’s impossible). The melodramatic music in the background doesn’t help, either.

Aww, I feel so bad for that little Chihuahua. He’s clearly torn up about the whole ordeal…someone get him some treats!

Unfortunately, Marley was struck by a car, leaving him with two badly broken hind legs. However, thanks to the help of friends and the Internet, the cute canine is not only fully healed, he’s also having the most fun in his new forever home.

Watching a dog look this content by simply chasing bubbles reminds us that it’s the simple things in life that are often the best. Have fun, love life, and you too can feel as great as Marley!

But it’s not just the humans who are forced to deal with the city’s congestion day after day. Over 250,000 stray dogs swarm the streets seeking food, water, or affection from any accommodating face they can find. But sadly, not many of the faces they meet are all that friendly.

This powerful video shows exactly what those pups put up with on a daily basis:

World For All Animal Care & Adoptions assures us that no dogs were actually harmed in the making of this video, but it does represent the real pain so many of them live with every day. The organization hopes to sensitize residents and inspire them into adopting the poor pups.
It’s impossible to imagine anyone watching this and not feeling moved by their daily struggle.

Out of those thousands of cases, this pup discovered in a suspected hoarding situation in Mississippi shocked their team so much more than they ever expected…
Now named Zoey, this beautiful girl was found packed into a yard filled high with junk and about 60 other dogs.

Like many of the other pups they rescued, she suffered from a serious injury as well as neglect.
But even through Zoey’s pain, HSUS cruelty response manager Ashley Mauceri said she could still see the girl’s bright, friendly personality shine through.

Zoey had been afflicted with two separate, untreated fractures in her right front leg. There was infection, and one of the breaks had fused over itself. Sadly, this meant amputation.
Mauceri was concerned losing the leg would have an adverse effect on both the pup’s emotional recovery and her ability to be adopted. Luckily, two of her own close friends fell in love with the cutie.

Now that the leg pain isn’t holding her back and she’s landed in a new, loving home, the gorgeous pooch runs around her huge backyard with joy. Her owners admit she is “totally spoiled.” Mauceri and the rest of her team are thrilled to be able to keep in touch with Zoey and her new family.
Watch the video below for more information on this lucky lady’s new life.

Hopefully, with help from organizations like the Humane Society and the kindness of those of us affected by their plight making donations or volunteering time, the number of cases like Zoey’s will soon start to shrink.

The post This Victim Of Disgusting Animal Hoarding Has A Story You’ll Fall In Love With appeared first on ILoveDogsAndPuppies.

He was found in an Arkansas puppy mill where he had spent his entire life, forced to live in his own fifth in order to breed babies that would be sold and shipped away. Employees at HSUS found over 100 dogs and other animals in the horrific facility, but none pulled on their heartstrings quite as much as this amazing pup.

Obviously suffering ocular damage, his blindness was most likely due to the extremely unsanitary conditions and lack of any medical treatment.

But as soon as he heard his rescuer’s voices, they could see his true personality shine through despite his injury. He began hopping up and down and playfully wagging his tail. Clearly, he was desperate for any sign of affection.

Luckily, after receiving much-needed veterinary care, Dori brought him into her very loving home.

Even luckier, she happens to work for a veterinary office who doesn’t mind one bit when she brings Corey in for the day. She says the fearless pup doesn’t let his lack of eyesight slow him down one bit. He also has a talent for sharing his happiness with those in need, like Dori’s friend’s son Callum who was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy as an infant.

Check out this video to see the joy Corey brings to Callum (and everyone else) with his bright, happy face:

It’s sad to think of how much different so many lives would be if he hadn’t been rescued from his terrible living conditions. To help other pups in situations like Corey’s, visit the Humane Society of the United States or find shelters in your area to see how you can donate or volunteer your time. You’ll be a real lifesaver.

The post Conditions At A Puppy Mill Blinded Him, But Then He Was Granted A New Life appeared first on ILoveDogsAndPuppies.

When her health began to fail, she moved to Cuernavaca, Mexico, where she continued to care for her animal friends despite her own diminishing well-being. After only a few weeks in her new home, she passed away.

When her family held a funeral on March 15, 2015, they were surprised to find a few unusual guests stop by to say goodbye.

Initially, they assumed the stray pups were simply regular visitors to the funeral home.

But when her daughter, Patricia Urrutia, spoke to the funeral workers, they claimed to have never seen the animals before that day.

The dogs followed along with the casket as it was taken to the church for Suárez’s service, then back again to the funeral home.

The dogs only left her side when the remains were taken in preparation for cremation. No one is sure how or if they knew who was in that casket, but Urrutia is convinced they were some of her mother’s strays coming to say their last goodbye.

Most dogs are known for their adorable devotion, but this case definitely takes that loyalty to a whole new level.

Zhenia Bulawka, a photographer from Baltimore, Maryland, wanted to do something to honor her 11-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier’s last days. So she assembled a heartwarming photo series about her family, documenting their final trip together before Dyuki, or Mr. Dukes, passed away from grade III mast cell cancer.
The family took a three hour road trip to the beach so that Mr. Dukes could swim in the ocean for the first time.

Here’s Bulawka’s boyfriend, Christian, snuggling with two of their three pups.

Who needs fine dining when you have sandwiches and a whole beach to yourself?

They all watched the sunset from their hotel balcony…

Followed by an evening walk on the beach…

And a little TV before bed.

Violet, Mr. Dukes’ sister, was the first to get up for the second day at the beach.

Here’s the whole furfamily together, with Mr. Dukes on the left.

Sadly, Dyuki passed a month after the family’s trip. It’s clear that his parents gave him a full, happy life. This is what Bulawka had to say about her late companion:

“Dukes was my best friend. He was also my muse, as his passion for life served as a constant source of inspiration to me. I could never tire of photographing him. Since his passing, I’ve been told numerous times ‘how lucky Dukes was to have me.’ But in fact, it was me who was so lucky to have him. He was the smartest, funniest, most loyal, incredibly strong, yet equally sensitive dog all wrapped into one perfect pittie package. He changed my life and I will miss him forever.”

So he shared the story of his journey to the end with his pup, and it’s the saddest, most heart-wrenching thing to watch. It’s also incredibly touching to see such a strong bond between man and canine.

It’s so sad, but Oden was very sick and in a lot of pain. He lived a full life with his loving owner, and I’m happy to have known their story.
