Dog Braved Through A Burning House To Rescue His Little Kitten Friend, People Are Calling Him A Hero

With the chain of unfortunate events occurring around the world simultaneously, one cannot help but to hope for a silver lining that would tone down, even for a moment, the devastation that is unraveling before our very eyes. More often that not,  it can come in the form of  a heartwarming news about a certain incident involving animals and their selfless acts.

It was October 20 in 2014 when a defense industry company in Ukraine experienced a massive explosion, causing a huge fire to break out in and around the building. Bright hot flames paired with thick clouds of smoke were rapidly building up into the sky, spreading to the northeast of Donetsk City.

The explosion was so strong that the aftermath was felt a several kilometers away from the area of incident, shattering windows and engulfing a few houses on the way. Panicked residents started evacuating their houses, grabbing valuable possessions within their reach and unleashing their pets out into the streets to minimize the damage as much as they could.

When one such concerned owner released his dog, something unexpected happened. Instead of running out of the burning house, the dog took a swift turn and retreated into the house. Stunned, the owner stood there helpless, unable to return to the house to rescue his pet as the fire was getting bigger and bigger.

As he watched his house blazed down in angry flames, with the little hope of seeing his dog alive leaving his body and mind, he caught glimpse of a familiar silhouette emerging from the entrance of the house. It was his dog, and in his  mouth was a limp kitten who happened to be the family’s pet as well.

The dog and the kitten were best friends. They spend their days playing together, always in each other’s company. So when the fire broke, the dog’s first instinct was to save his best friend rather than himself. The owner was both relieved and amazed at his pet’s brave act.

The kitten was so small and wouldn’t have made it out of the house on its own. Thankfully, his friend realized it and came to rescue. Locals who learned this news were moved. They looked up to the dog as a hero for doing what most humans wouldn’t have been able to do because such a circumstance would put anyone in a state of panic, restricting their ability to think rationally.

The dog forsake his own safety for his little friend and it was all worth it in the end. What do we say? Animals, they just have a way of proving us again and again how deserving they are of our love and attention.

Cartoon Showing Steve Irwin Welcoming Dead Bushfire Animals To Heaven Goes Viral

A cartoon of Steve Irwin welcoming animals that have died in the bushfires to heaven has gone viral.

Sharnia-Mae Sturm, from Atlanta, the United States, posted the heart-rending sketch to her Instagram account on New Year’s Eve to help raise awareness of the devastating impact the fires are having on the country’s wildlife.

The illustration shows the late Irwin greeting a host of the country’s animals that have perished in the fires, including kangaroos, koalas and others.

Kneeling down with his arms wife open, the Crocodile Hunter can be seen saying: “Don’t worry little guys! I’ll take care of you!”

And it didn’t take long for the picture to gain traction online, and just a few days later it had already been shared widely across social media.

The Georgia native has since said her account was inundated with so many likes and comments that it was deleted.

Writing on her Sketchy Koala Facebook page, Sharnia-Mae said she hopes Steve is looking after the deceased animals in heaven.

She wrote: “So… it’s sad to say that I’ve spent about 3 weeks or so on this and the subject is still relevant.

“This little tribute drawing goes to all the innocent animals caught in the blazes across my home country, it breaks my heart to see it’s still going on but there’s only so much that can be done to keep it from spreading.

“I hope all the animals who couldn’t make it are now in heaven with Steve Irwin, being taken care of, and not having a care in the world or memory of how they got there. Rest In Peace fuzzy babies, we will miss you.”

This post also received an outpouring of emotion from people touched by gesture.

One mum wrote: “I’m actually crying seeing this. My daughter has asked where all the animals have gone after they passed away from the fires and now I can show her this and she will be able to understand.”

A second person commented: “I love these drawings, they say it all, well done, it touched my heart.”

A third said: “Just beautiful. Thank you for taking the time to do this and share it.”

While another added: “This is absolutely beautiful. Actually made me cry. I love Steve Irwin and still can’t believe he’s gone. Our loss of animals is so truly heartbreaking.”

Sharnia-Mae later thanked people for getting in touch, writing: “I appreciate all this love and support more than you can believe. I’m so happy to see many people be so touched by this.”

Border Collie Saves Flock Of Sheep From Wall Of Fire In Australia

Besides the number of firefighters and volunteers that put their life on the line fighting against the massive bushfires that rage on the territory of Australia, animals also do their best to save not only those of their kind but every living soul that is in need of help.

The story of the brave border collie Patsy from the rural town of Corryong in Victoria, Australia has melted the hearts of people from all around the world. She and her unnamed owner braved the catastrophic fires on New Year’s Eve and helped herd a flock of sheep away from the blaze making sure they are at a safe place.

A picture of the ‘wonder dog’ was first shared by Patsy’s owner’s sister, Cath Hill. Along with the photo she explained how Patsy rounded up the flock and directed them to the safest part of the farm.

The dog was aware she was risking her life for the sake of the sheep’s but she didn’t mind that and stayed by her owner’s side until they both made sure the rest of the animals as well as the houses and the hay bales and silage were saved from the fire.

Allow me to introduce Patsy the wonder dog. In the early hours of 31 December 2019, while fire in Corryong was bearing down them, she and my brother rounded up the sheep and brought them to the safest paddock on the farm. She then found a safe spot while my brother fought the fire with a tractor and a tank of water. Almost all sheep are safe, along with the hay bales and silage, the shearing shed, and both farm houses. My brother doesn’t do social media, but Patsy does. Great job little girl 🙂Update 7 January 2020 – Patsy and her family are busy cleaning up the farm and helping others get sorted out. You can help too! They would love you to donate to these bushfire relief fundraising collections: https://www.wildlifevictoria.org.au/?view=article&id=145:helping-wildlife-during-bushfires&catid=11:wildlife-informationhttps://blazeaid.com.au/donations/how-donate/https://www.redcross.org.au/campaigns/disaster-relief-and-recovery-donateUpdate 5 January 2020 – Patsy is now on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/p/B67HA-xHJSH/?igshid=126abkbj2hytc #patsythecorryongwonderdog #strongincorryongUpdate 4 January 2020 – Patsy’s story is spreading, so for those people who would like to donate funds to help the Upper Murray community, please support these links which are confirmed to be genuine and keep sharing Patsy’s post 🙂https://www.parksideproduce.net.au/products/feed-for-fire-gift-voucherhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/xycjem-cudgewa-has-burnt?utm_source=customer&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheethttps://www.gofundme.com/f/a-little-town-and-its-community-need-some-help?utm_source=customer&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet

Posted by Cath Hill on Friday, January 3, 2020

Speaking to Metro, Cath described the impact the fires had on local farmers.

Everyone is just trying to get water and feed to their animals, shoot the ones that can’t be saved, get temporary fences up to keep stock secure, and put out all the logs and stumps still burning.

And there’s people who have nothing left but the clothes on their backs.

The recent rain the whole world was praying for has finally arrived and it helped slow the pace the fires are spreading at, but since it’s the middle of summer in Australia, no one really knows if things would turn for the worst or the situation would be put under control.

They are expected to get worse around Thursday this week (January 6) when hot windy weather returns.

It’s unbelievable and it’s only going to get worse. That’s why we put Patsy’s story out there. People need something positive.

Since Cath uploaded the video of Patsy it has been shared thousands of times so Cath used it as a chance to ask from people to donate and help fight the fires.

People from all over the world, as well as celebrities, are donating as many GoFundMe pages have been set up. In case you want to make a contribution, you can do it by donating at the bigger charities like the Australian Red Cross too.

Veterans In California Will Be Able To Adopt Animals For Free Starting In 2020

California veterans won’t have to pay adoption fees when they take a “furever” friend home from an animal shelter next year.

Gov. Gavin Newsom recently signed Senate Bill 245, which calls on animal shelters throughout the state to waive pet adoption fees for military veterans.

“This is a big win for veterans and shelter animals,” said State Sen. Liang Liang Chang, who authored the legislation.

According to Chang’s office, California is home to 2 million military veterans, including many who cope with PTS. She said a companion animal could help with their recovery efforts.

“As the saying goes, a dog is a ‘man’s best friend.’ When I’m home my four-legged companions are a part of my family,” she said. “Buster and Pepper bring me joy and laughter and I benefit from the positive effects of their companionship. Our brave heroes deserve the same happiness, and I’m glad we can reduce the barriers for bringing together veterans seeking companion animals and pets in need of a home.”

Shelters will confirm veteran status by using the state’s existing veteran’s driver’s license designation. The law goes into effect Jan. 1, 2020.

Horrible video of a man trying to practice in sexual intercourse with his Pit Bull and defends itself by tearing off the man’s genitals with its teeth

Waterbury Police are investigating after a woman had to confront a naked man at gunpoint while he allegedly performed sexual acts on her pit bull Tuesday morning.

Jesus Ramon Sanchez, from the Little Havana neighborhood in Miami, was allegedly attempting to engage in sexual intercourse with a 4-year old male pit bull, when the dog defended itself by tearing off the man’s genitals with its teeth.

The incident took place around 8:30 this morning, in the Allen Morris Dog Park in Miami.

According to witnesses, 4-year old Spanky, was playing with his owner in the park when Mister Sanchez grabbed him and attempted to rape him.

The male pit bull violently resisted and severely injured its attacker’s legs, arms and groin.

According to its owner, this is the first time that Spanky has ever bitten anyone, and he acted strictly out of self-defense.

“The dog was just running around, playing with a ball, when the man came out of nowhere and tried to grab it,” says Dorothy Steinberg, a witness of the events.

“The man had his pants down and was struggling with the dog.

Everyone in the park was just stunned and nobody did anything, but the dog defended itself and bit back. In a matter of seconds, he grabbed the man’s genitals with its teeth and literally tore them apart.”
