dogs

We've all heard stories of dogs rescuing lost skiers or hikers, or dogs that bark to alert their families of a fire or intruder in their house. But what some dogs can do--either through training, or their own natural instincts--could quietly save untold lives, and will amaze you!

Aaawww...who doesn't love photos of mama dogs and their babies? Once you see these pics, it leaves no doubt that these doggy moms love their precious pups! If you know someone who needs a smile today, feel free to share this page with them!

A diagnosis of cancer in one of our furry family members is just as terrifying as it would if it was one of us getting th

Even in the face of unspeakable tragedy, miracles can occur.

It's been a particularly rough week, so we thought we'd try to cheer everyone up with a few of the cutest dog GIFs ever. These dogs are heart-meltingly cute and are sure to brighten up even the darkest days. They'll make you just want to cuddle up and smile! Have a safe weekend everyone!
