Dog Given Up for Dead Emerges After House Fire

A dog thought dead after a major fire that destroyed the home emerged from the ashes 12 hours later.

The fire damage was so severe that the second story collapsed into the ground floor. The family escaped without harm but they thought their dog had perished in the blaze.  Their dog Daisy was found about 12 hours later as demolition on the ruined building began.  I’m so glad the family got out okay and that they were reunited with their dog!  Doggies.com loves happy endings 🙂

Read the full story here.  From the sounds of it, Daisy was scared and covered in ashes, but otherwise she got out pretty much unscathed.

 

A Dog’s Heart as Big as an Elephant

Dogs love us unconditionally– no matter age, disability, rich or poor. 

But, to share a companion 8,000 pounds her senior for eight years truly shows us what dogs, and elephants can teach us.

On October 26 Bella, companion to Tarra, an 8,000 pound elephant in Tennessee, died.  They made world headlines together, and featured on CBS for their amazing ability to share their lives together in food, drink, play and sleep… and in the end, what seems like amazing compassion.

“Are You My Mother?” said the tiger to the dog.

I know this has happened before, but it still amazes me.  At the zoo in Qingdao, China, a baby Siberian tiger was abandoned by its mother.  It wasn’t long before a dog stepped in to nurse the tiger and act as its mother.  Don’t you just love the picture?  I think the tiger looks like a Shar-pei.  I’m sure they’re really stripes, but they look like wrinkles.

Until next time,

Good day, and good dog!
