It’s not just dogs…

We’ve all heard stories of dogs who saved their families from fire or who detected a serious illness or even those dogs who can sense when a person is about to have a seizure. Turns out it’s not just a canine trait. Check out this story from the Huffington Post
Amy Jung and her son Ethan stopped into The Humane Society near their home in Wisconsin to play with the cats, but one feline — a 21-pound cat named Pudding — stood out to the pair. They made an impulsive decision to adopt him and his friend Wimsy. That same night, Jung, who has had diabetes since childhood, started having a diabetic seizure in her sleep. That’s when Pudding sprang into action. The fast-acting feline sat on Jung’s chest in an attempt to wake her up and when that didn’t work, he nudged and nipped her face until she briefly returned to consciousness. In that moment, Jung was able to call out to Ethan, but he couldn’t hear her calls. Luckily, Pudding darted into Ethan’s room and pounced on the bed until he woke up and was able to call for help.

Now that’s some cat!

Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

Little Girl vs. The Lion

A little girl was watching a lion try to eat his breakfast at the Wellington Zoo in New Zealand.

Watch the video for three-year-old Sophia Walker’s reaction (or lack thereof) to the huge, grumpy lion:
