Cute Animals

You never know where unexpected friendships can occur. In this video, a puppy and tortoise delight with their heartwarming bond.

At the start of this video, we read the words, “Tortoise redecorates the backyard how he wants it.” The tortoise is carrying a patio chair on his shell and moving it. The woman shares comically that she never knows what she is going to see when she goes outside. She tells us that the name of the tortoise is Tilly G. He often walks away with a chair or sofa. She makes jokes that he is a redecorating genius and clips are shown of destroyed outdoor items on the back porch. 

She shares that he can be aggressive and territorial because of his species. She shares that he holds grudges against potted soil. It is hilarious. She then shows a video of a new puppy named Skippy, who they adopted. She tells of their concerns about how Tilly G is going to react. They were protective of this little pup, and then they noticed how brave Skippy was around the large tortoise, giving kisses and following him.

The puppy brings a toy to the tortoise. Every day Skippy brings a toy to Tilly G. They are shown playing over time. We see a cute clip of the tortoise coming to the door to visit the dog. They are seen napping in the sun together. Tilly G. surprisingly shares his food with Skippy. The owner shares how the puppy and the turtle are opposites in every way, but they are the best of friends. 

We can learn from watching these amazing animals that, with the help of Christ, we can remember that all people are made in His image, and we can love them and encourage them. We can come alongside each other in the Body of Christ and help each other grow and become more like Jesus in the midst of our unique differences and giftings. We can be open to being around others who are different so that we can grow and learn more about God and His love for diversity since we know heaven will be full of people from every nation and culture.

“After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, ‘Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!’” Revelation 7:9-10

One woman, a hair stylist, was surprised at work with a brand new puppy, and her reaction to the canine was heartwarming, sweet and enough to melt hearts everywhere. 

There arguably isn’t anything cuter on the Earth than babies, puppies and kittens. Most of the time, when anyone sees any of them, people must immediately stop and admire the precious sight before them. An individual’s next move is to either comment on how cute the infant, puppy or kitten is or to ask to hold the baby or pet the animal.

It must be some law that everyone must stop whatever they are doing whenever they come across either one because it always happens. It could be raining, freezing or snowing outside, but if someone sees a puppy being walked, they will somehow stop and acknowledge the animal. Sometimes, people may even start tearing up when seeing a baby, puppy or kitten.

A clip posted on social media captured one woman’s sweet, emotional reaction after being surprised at work with a new puppy. Immediately after laying eyes on the French bulldog puppy, tears start flowing.

The short, one-minute video starts with the camera following a young man carrying the dog. A few seconds into the video, he walks into a hair salon and greets his girlfriend with the puppy. She cannot contain her excitement and joy at seeing the sweet pup securely nestled in her boyfriend’s arms.

He doesn’t even say a word to her. The sight of the dog is enough to cause her to become overwhelmed with emotion.

The customers and the woman’s co-workers also take in the sweet sight, commenting on the precious pup and the woman’s heartwarming reaction to the animal.

Near the end of the video, her boyfriend transfers the dog into the woman’s arms, and it’s clear that she is already completely in love with the little pup.

Proverbs 12:10 “An upright man has thought for the life of his beast, but the hearts of evildoers are cruel.”

A cute baby seal gets woken up in the worst way possible! In the serene beauty of a sunlit beach, a darling baby seal finds solace in a cozy nap nestled snugly on warm rocks. Its whiskers were twitching with dreams of fishy escapades and ocean adventures. The world is new and full of wonders, yet learning and exploring take their toll, often leading this little seal to retreat into much-needed slumber.

However, tranquility is abruptly shattered as icy ocean waves rudely crash in, startling the seal from its peaceful naptime haven. Its reaction is a comical mix of nap-shock and bewilderment as the cold tide sweeps over its tiny body, interrupting its dreams of aquatic playtime. After enduring a couple of chilly wake-up calls, the seal's determination sets in, and with a slow waddle, it sluggishly makes its way up the beach to find a dry spot. He’s not in the mood for wet adventures just yet!

Clearly preferring the warmth of its nap spot over the watery wake-up call from its home ocean, the baby seal's adorable antics make for a heartwarming and humorous sight. This sweet and endearing video captures a moment that's both delightful and a gentle reminder of God's majestic creation – from the soft sands to the vast ocean expanse and the playful antics of seals.

It's a charming nap-venture to witness, where innocence meets the elements, showcasing the resilience and innate curiosity of nature's creations. As the baby seal shakes off its chilly surprise, there's a lesson in resilience and an appreciation for the simple joys found in unexpected awakenings by the ocean's edge. In this captivating scene, we're reminded of the beauty that surrounds us and the wonders waiting to be explored, even during naptime interruptions in the wild. What an adorable reminder!

Psalm 104:24 "How many are your works, Lord! In wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures."

Get ready to witness a truly unique moment that will surely bring a tear to your eye. In a heartwarming display of empathy and connection, a dog’s sweet reaction to feeling a baby’s kick melts hearts all over the internet! The heart-melting scene began as the dog, cuddled up comfortably on her owner Heaven Liegh’s lap, suddenly sensed the tiny movements of the unborn baby, a reaction that is a testament to the special bond between pets and their human families.

Heaven captioned the viral video with, “Point of View: Your fury baby felt the baby kick for the first time, and she cried.”

According to Heaven, the dog's ears perked up, and her eyes widened with surprise, creating a scene that was nothing short of paw-some. The dog's initial reaction was one of gentle fascination as she sniffed and nuzzled the growing belly, trying to understand this new sensation, leaving them both teary-eyed. 

But the heartwarming moment didn't end there. The curious and affectionate dog adjusted herself to straddle her owner’s belly, eagerly awaiting more kicks. It was as if she was saying, “I can’t wait to meet this tiny Hooman!”  With each subtle movement from the baby, her tail wagged with increasing enthusiasm, as though she was fully engaged in the excitement and anticipation of the new addition to their family. This was a clear demonstration of the joy and excitement that pets bring to our lives.

"Now we're both in tears," the Heaven shared emotionally. "She shifted to straddling my belly to feel the kicks and was wagging her tail joyfully with each one."

This heartwarming interaction between a dog and its owner’s baby bump is a powerful reminder of the deep emotional connection that pets share with their human families. Dogs have a unique ability to sense changes in their environment and respond with boundless affection and curiosity. Their capacity to emotionally connect with their owners, even before a baby is born, is a testament to the profound bond they share.

As they prepare for the arrival of their tiny human, this dog's endearing reaction serves as a reminder of the joy, love, and laughter that dogs bring into our lives. They truly are man's best friend, ready to support and celebrate every milestone, from wagging tails to tiny kicks.

As they embark on this journey together, the dog’s loving response is a heartening example of the unconditional love and support pets can offer during significant life moments. Their shared anticipation of the new arrival underscores the joy and wonder that pets bring into our lives, making them cherished members of the family in every sense.

Psalm 127:3 "Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him."

In a heartwarming tail of love and loyalty, an overjoyed dog reunited with its owner after two years in a heartwarming video! Loki, an emotional support dog, played a crucial role in his owner’s life, providing comfort and companionship through rough times. Their separation was a heartbreaking chapter, but thanks to a tracking chip and a little divine intervention, their pawsome reunion became a reality.

The woman had almost lost hope of finding her furry friend but never stopped praying for his safe return. Then, in a miraculous turn of events, she received a call from Fort Wayne Animal Care & Control. They had found Loki safe and sound and were able to identify him through his tracking chip. Her heart leaped with joy; her prayers had been answered.

When she arrived at the animal care facility, the anticipation was paw-sitively overwhelming. As soon as Loki saw her, his tail wagged furiously, and he bolted towards her, his excitement palpable. She dropped to her knees, tears streaming down her face, and Loki leaped into her arms, wrapping her in a heartfelt hug. It was a moment of pure joy, tears, and laughter – a reunion that could only be described as fur-tastic.

Witnesses described the scene as nothing short of a blessing. It was clear to everyone present that God's hand had guided Loki back to her. The Fort Wayne Animal Care & Control team couldn’t have been happier to play a part in this happy ending. 

This touching story of the woman and Loki is a testament to the unbreakable bond between humans and their four-legged friends. It’s a formidable example of love, faith, and the miracles that can happen when we least expect them. The reunion of the woman and Loki is more than just a happy ending; it’s a celebration of the blessings that come our way, often when we need them the most. As the Bible says, "He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart." (Psalm 91:4).

Psalm 91:4 "He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart."

A dog listened to a song being played by an Alexa and followed the tune’s lyrics in the funniest way possible.

There is rarely a dull moment whenever a dog or a cat is involved in the situation. More often than not, those creatures are doing something mischievous, hilarious or both. There are thousands, likely hundreds of thousands of videos on YouTube that would prove this 100 percent correct.

When you think you’ve seen a dog or a cat do about all they can, they’ll surprise you in the most entertaining way possible. They’ll act in a way that will catch you off guard and thoroughly amuse you, evoking a belly laugh or two.

Everyone enjoys music of some genre and style. Perhaps some individuals enjoy a song’s melody, beat or rhythm. However, a clip posted on social media shows that animals, especially canines, listen to music and pay particularly close attention to the lyrics.

In the short video, a dog sits before one of Amazon’s Alexa devices. While the machines can be used for various purposes, they are used as a radio or CD player in the video. Alexa plays Bonnie Tyler’s “Total Eclipse of the Heart.”

Anyone with even a passing familiarity with the tune knows that Bonnie sings “Turn around, bright eyes” several times. She does it in the verses and in the memorable and iconic chorus.

Every time Bonnie belts out, “Turn around,” the sweet dog in the video does exactly what the singer says, following the commands perfectly. The animal makes one complete circle each time, then sits, stares at the Alexa device and awaits further instruction. When it hears “turn around,” the animal follows the command once again and does as the song says.

A woman behind the camera, witnessing the obedient canine’s actions, cannot contain her laughter. The dog is not bothered but is entirely focused on the small, circular machine.

Proverbs 12:10 “An upright man has thought for the life of his beast, but the hearts of evildoers are cruel.”

It is always fun to watch a good animal video. In this clip, check out a donkey’s adorable reaction to a new toy chicken that will melt your heart.

Donkeys like to have fun too. At the start of this video, the female owner visits her pet donkey and tells the donkey the good news. She just received something special in the mail, the biggest screaming toy chickens that she had ever seen. The donkey prances towards her at the fence in excitement. She says that somebody sent two of them to the donkey. 

She shows the donkey what happens when you squeeze the chicken, and the donkey reacts to the chicken. He is elated about the new toy, sniffing and snuffing. The donkey then goes for a chance to try out his new chicken. He gets the toy in his mouth and begins to bite the chicken, walking around and around in a circle. His ears are back, and he is focused on playing. 

The owner thinks the donkey likes the new toy. The donkey gets so happy that he jumps up on his back two legs. The owner replies, “Oh my goodness.” She shares about how she appreciated the gift sent through an online viewer. The donkey goes to town, moving his head from side to side and squeezing the toy chicken. 

Watching this animal play brings a smile to anyone’s face. It reminds us of the playful nature of our God. He created animals for a reason: they each have unique looks and personalities. This donkey brings glory to God just by being a donkey. May it remind us that sometimes it is the little things that bring a smile to the Lord’s face. He loves us greatly and He is the Perfect Creator.

“Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.” Revelation 4:11

There are few animals as beautiful and adorable as deer. Check out as this adorable baby deer slowly makes its way across the road.

Thankfully this is not a deer in the headlights situation. At the start of this authentic footage, a woman is in her car on the road. She has her vehicle stopped as she talks to the little baby deer. She zooms in her camera and says, “Your mom already went.” The baby deer is sitting on the sewer drain, unsure what to do. Unfortunately, the baby deer’s back leg gets stuck in the drain as she tries to escape. The woman adds commentary, “Help Mama, she’s stuck.” Quickly the mother deer walks over towards her young to assist. 

The mother tries to get her baby out of the drain. The woman begins to exit her car to come and help. Right as she opens her car door, she says, “Oh, you got her.” 

The baby deer follows her mother across the road. The woman boldly gets closer as she videos the precious moment of the baby deer slowly moving toward the other side of the street. The woman is worried for the baby to be stuck in the road, then finally the baby makes it over to the hill. Suddenly, a car comes by and the deer goes up to her mom on the safe grass. 

This woman got a front row view in the life of this little deer. She was able to be up closer than normal for these skittish creatures. The baby deer is so precious. It is fun watching the little one get to safety. This is what God desires for us. He cheers us on to get to where He is leading us. Sometimes we might get stuck or have a hard time moving forward, but He encourages us and guides us on His paths.

“Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.” Isaiah 30:21

Everyone loves a good puppy surprise video. In this clip, these parents are instantly smitten in this clip with their daughter’s adorable new puppy. 

In the description of this video, we read about how this young woman lost her 12-year-old dog to cancer recently. She and her parents have both been grieving the loss in their family. This surprise is more than just a cute puppy reveal; it is a welcoming of a new season after grief.

At the beginning, the daughter is opening the door to her parent’s house. She sounds excited to see them, calling out hello. The description says, “surprising my parents with my new puppy.” The dad says, “You’re home early.” As he comes around the corner in his yankee jacket, he quickly realizes that his daughter has a new puppy. His eyes get so big in excitement. The dad is overjoyed at the sight of this new pet.

The father reaches for the new pup and shouts, “No way!” He is in complete shock. He cuddles this precious puppy and asks if the dog is a boy or a girl. The daughter tells him that he is a boy named Archie. The dad is melting over the whole experience. She tells her dad that she has to go show him to her mom now. The dad is not willingly letting the cute dog go. Suddenly, the girl flashes the camera in the other direction and reveals that her mom has come to them. She says, “Hi mom!” Her mom asks what is going on. She sees the puppy, and her mouth drops to the floor. The mother is also in shock, comes up to the pet, and meets the pooch. The dad says, “Look at him, we’ve got a good one.” They rave over his color how cute Archie is, and comment on how afraid he looks. The family is so excited.

Witnessing this surprise brings happiness. It is wonderful to see a family celebrating new life after the loss of their previous pet. It reminds us that God makes all things new. 

“Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” Isaiah 43:19

One sweet pup’s evident passion for the sport of horse racing is absolutely charming and pretty hilarious.

Many people's favorite pastimes and hobbies involve sports. Either watching or participating in them, athletics and competition consume much of their spare time. Entire television networks cater to sports fans, creating entire channels with sports-centric programs. ESPN, Fox Sports, The Big Ten Network and Bally Sports are just a few of them.

Whether baseball, football, basketball or soccer, individuals enjoy seeing their favorite team triumph over the competition. Many fans get super into a particular sport or team, living vicariously through them. When talking about a team, some people may even use “we” as if they are members of the team themselves.

A short but hilarious clip on social media shows that sports fanaticism does not stop with human beings. Even those in the furry and four-legged community enjoy sports. However, the video shows a sweet pup who gets into horse racing instead of a team sport like baseball or football.

The 20-second video starts with a dog on its hind legs and its front legs on the top of a piece of furniture, which rests underneath a television. The animal is intensely focused on a horse race, staring at the screen. It’s only seconds before the horses are released and the race begins.

The tension in the room is palpable as the dog awaits the beginning of the horse race. Seconds into the clip, the horses are finally off. But things get even cuter as the dog hilariously reacts to the horses galloping toward the finish line.

The dog starts jumping in the air and barking at the horses on the screen. It’s unclear if the animal had a favorite or perhaps it had money wagered on a specific horse, which could maybe explain its enthusiasm for horse racing.

Proverbs 12:10 “An upright man has thought for the life of his beast, but the hearts of evildoers are cruel.”

A clever pup knows exactly what to do after getting mistakenly locked out of her house. This sweet golden retriever didn’t panic. Instead she waited oh so patiently and even retrieved some manners from her bag of tricks. 

Whitney Rhoad recently shared a paw-some video showcasing her golden retriever's clever solution to a ruff situation! When this intelligent pupper found herself locked out of her home, she didn't sit around howling; instead, she put her paw to good use by using the doorbell. The security camera footage captured the hilarious moment as the fur-tunate retriever triggered the doorbell sound and then sat down patiently to wait. Talk about a doorbell-ding discovery!

With her adorable expression and wagging tail, the golden retriever's actions spoke louder than words. Her face seemed to say, "You forgot about me! But don’t worry, I’ll wait right here!" But instead of barking up a storm, she carried a stuffed toy around in her mouth, reminiscent of a child clutching their favorite teddy bear. Despite her impawsibly adorable appearance, the dog remained surprisingly calm throughout the ordeal, with only a few irritated exhales to express her frustration. Not to mention a few hopeful tail wags waiting for her mom to open the door and let her in. 

Whitney, the golden retriever mom, couldn't help but chuckle at her furry friend's ingenuity. "When you accidentally lock the dog out," she captioned the video, adding, "Good thing we have a doorbell cam." It's clear that this pup isn't just man's best friend; she's also a paw-sitively brilliant problem solver!

From fetching the newspaper to ringing the doorbell, it's no wonder golden retrievers are considered one of the most intelligent dog breeds. And with their heartwarming antics, they never fail to leave a paw-sitive impression on everyone they meet. As for this clever golden retriever, she's proof that when life throws you a bone, sometimes all you need is a little bark, patience, and determination to wag your way back inside! We hope this adorable video brightens your day and reminds you what a gift pets are!

Philippians 4:6-7 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

An adorable and charming cat enjoys riding horses with its owner, and it’s likely the most precious thing you’ll see this week!

Animals are fascinating creatures. They are all unique, each with their own unique personality, especially dogs and cats. Each has its own likes and dislikes, tastes and preferences.

Some felines enjoy being picked up and carried around like babies, while others absolutely hate that practice and have no fear of letting you know it. Regarding dogs, some canines love getting outside and enjoy going on walks. But others are more on the lazy side and will fight you every time you try to corral them for a daily walk.

However, a clip posted on YouTube shows one cat who enjoys doing something unique and odd: riding horses. Cats are, by nature, very timid and cautious beings. They thoroughly smell anything and everything and approach everyone with the utmost discretion and care. They do not want to leave themselves open to attack and possible injury.

The short, three-minute clip is about a stray cat that happens to find a young woman and never leaves her side. The cat, Keith, quickly becomes glued to her. She even refers to the animal as a “Velcro kitty.” Everywhere Angela went, that cat was by her side, including when she would ride horses.

Eventually, Angela decided to take Keith on horseback rides with her, and surprisingly, the cat loved it and didn’t appear to be scared in the slightest. Angela made sure Keith was entirely ready for his horseback rides, placing likely the cutest cowboy hat on top of Keith’s head.

Despite all the jostling and movement that comes with riding a horse, Keith was not bothered. While Keith seems to enjoy riding horses, he likely wants to be close to Angela and feel safe and secure in her arms.

What an absolutely precious and adorable cat!

Proverbs 12:10 “An upright has thought for the life of his beast, but the hearts of evildoers are cruel.”

Pets bring so much joy to our lives, and this adorable dachshund’s reaction to car wipers is sure to be the cutest thing you’ll see today!

It looks like the family has gone out for a drive. It’s cloudy outside and may have been raining. The dog's dad and mom are sitting in the front seat, have parked the car in a secluded spot, and are just playing a little game with their dachshund.  

She’s a very pretty dog. Her copper coat is sleek and shiny. However, she’s a feisty one. And determined!

The lady dachshund really, really likes it when the windshield wipers are movin’! She loves to bark at them and follow them back-and-forth, back-and-forth. However, Daddy doesn’t see any reason for them to be on. He turns them off, but she is not havin’ it. She knows how to turn the wipers back on, and she does that very thing!

Dad tells her that they can’t have the wipers on because it’s not raining. He turns off the wipers, and Puppy reaches the switch and turns them right back on. Patiently, the dog dad tells Shortstuff that she’s going to get his windows dirty by putting her paws on them. Although, both the dog’s white paws and the car’s black interior look very clean.

Ms. D. isn’t interested in sitting down as her human suggests. She just wants to bark at the blades. He keeps switching them off, and she keeps turning them back on. At one point, she stumbles a bit as she engages the blades and another time she bites on the lever. The driver tells her, in his southern accent, that she can’t do that. The dog seems irritated by his correction, but she doesn’t let up.

Mom and Dad are having entirely too much fun. Their warnings that she will get hurt fall on deaf dog ears, and the game continues. Who knows how long this battle between the blades and the barker goes on!

Commenters are impressed by the dachshund’s intelligence; they call her clever and smart. Actually, the breed is described as bold, alert, vigilant, smart, and stubborn. Dachshunds are fine watch dogs, and their name is “badger dog.” They were bred to be able to dig into badger dens and roust out the badgers. 

Ironically, the breed name has nothing to do with hounding—or badgering—the dog into compliance! 

“Light in a messenger’s eyes brings joy to the heart, and good news gives health to the bones.” Proverbs 15:30

Woof woof, folks! Let me tell you a tail that will make your heart soar, and your funny bone wag about a clever dog’s ladder-climbing skills that will absolutely make your day.

Picture this: a loyal pooch, with eyes gleaming like the brightest stars, watching his hooman ascend a ladder. But when the hooman doesn't return immediately, our furry friend decides to embark on an epic climb of his own. And let me tell you, this pup's ladder-climbing skills are nothing short of pawsome!

With determination as fierce as a terrier chasing a squirrel, our clever canine friend tackles each rung with precision. He ascends the ladder with the grace of a seasoned mountaineer, proving that where there's a will, there's a wag.

As he reaches the top, his tail wags with excitement, and he gazes proudly at his hooman as if to say, "Look at me, I'm top dog now!" But the real question on everyone's mind is, how did he manage to get down?

Did he perform a daring leap of faith, landing on all fours like a furry feline? Did he slide down the ladder like a canine fireman on a rescue mission? Or perhaps he devised a clever strategy involving treats and belly rubs to coax someone into helping him down.

Whatever the method, one thing is for sure: this dog's ladder-climbing escapade is a reminder that with a little ingenuity and a whole lot of determination, anything is pawsible.

So the next time you're faced with a seemingly insurmountable challenge, just remember the tale of our intrepid ladder-climbing pup. Because if he can reach new heights, so can you! And who knows, maybe you'll even have a few laughs along the way, just like we did with this tail of canine conquest.

Proverbs 12:10 "Whoever is righteous has regard for the life of his beast, but the mercy of the wicked is cruel." 

A group of six dogs gathered around, sitting next to one another and listened attentively to a bedtime story in an adorable clip.

The Lord knew exactly what he was doing when He put dogs on Earth. They are some of the most loving and loyal creatures you’ll ever encounter. Show a canine even the slightest bit of attention and kindness and you’ve got yourself a friend for life.

In addition to consistently demonstrating their loyalty and why they are called man’s best friend, they are also incredibly sweet creatures. Like humans, dogs, and all animals, for that matter, want to be somewhere and with someone who cares for and loves them.

An adorable clip posted on YouTube shows a group of some of the cutest and sweetest pups you’ll ever see. All six of them, while wearing sweaters, sit quietly, gathered around their owner as she reads them a bedtime story.

The dogs are thoroughly captivated by the story. None even tries to get up and leave during story time. They all want to know how the story ends. Of course, the story is about a man who finds a stray dog looking for a home. Who wouldn’t want to hear how a story like that unfolds?

Following the story's conclusion, the woman in the clip tells each of the sweet pups goodnight and gives them a well-deserved scratch on the head.

As anyone with a pet knows, getting an animal to sit still is always a chore. But, unbelievably, she got all six dogs to sit quietly and not move as she read to them.

That is likely to be the cutest clip you will see all day. I can’t imagine many other videos showing a more precious sight than a handful of dogs sitting and looking up at their owner as she reads to them.

Proverbs 12:10 “An upright man has thought for the life of his beast, but the hearts of the evildoers are cruel.”

There’s an Elk out in the wilderness that’s got game! This elk kicks up fun in a surprise soccer game with a young man and his brother. 

Viewer Shira Moffatt captured an adorable video of her two young boys engaged in an impromptu soccer match with an unexpected teammate—a curious elk. This unusual match took place on a ridge above the boys' driveway, and it’s safe to say the elk was the star striker.

The video begins with the elk's curiosity piqued by a red soccer ball. With a gentle nudge and a playful kick, the ball starts its journey down the ridge toward one of the boys. The elk, showing off its agility, quickly runs over and attempts to dribble the ball with its hooves. This playful sequence repeats, adding to the fun and laughter.

The boys' laughter and the elk's playful antics make this video a goal-worthy watch. It’s a real "hoofball" showdown, showcasing that when it comes to backyard sports, even wildlife can get in on the action.

A Colorado Parks and Wildlife spokesperson commented on the video, noting that the kids kept a safe distance from their antlered playmate. “The children were not harassing the animal,” the spokesperson said. “They didn’t throw the ball directly at it, ensuring everyone played by the rules.”

As the elk continued its game of kick-and-sniff, it was clear that this friendly match was a hit. The boys were over the moon with their new teammate, and the elk seemed to enjoy the break from its usual forest foraging activities. Not every day you see an elk with such "footwork" finesse!

So, if you ever find yourself near a ridge with a soccer ball, you might just find an elk ready to join your team. This charming encounter reminds us that in the game of life, sometimes the most unexpected players can steal the show and score big laughs.

Proverbs 17:22 "A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones."

A precious pup stepped in and answered the call, possibly giving the cutest high-five ever.

Dogs are some of the best creatures God ever put on Earth. They are kind, loving, dependable and loyal to a fault. Anyone who has ever spent time around a canine understands that they are man’s best friend. Show a dog kindness, love and attention, and you’ve got yourself a friend for life.

In addition to a canine’s loyalty and dependability, they’ll keep you entertained. Because of their sweet actions and intelligence, dogs will have you constantly either laughing or brushing tears away from your eyes. Even people who aren’t dog owners still love those furry, four-legged beings. What person doesn’t like dogs?

A short clip posted on social media shows a dog who knows exactly what to do, even if the youngster in the video is initially unsure and hesitant.

The video starts with a child playing when a hand, likely from the child’s mother, appears on camera. The woman, showing her hand to the child, continually says, “High five, high five.”

The youngster, whose attention is wholly focused on the hand, needs clarification on what the woman requests. But eventually, the child does get the message and begins raising and stretching out its arm to meet its mother’s hand.

However, before the child’s hand meets the mother’s, a canine hilariously and sweetly swoops in and gives the requested high five. Of course, this cute canine response elicits the mother's laugh.

Then, almost as if the dog is checking to ensure there are no hard feelings after it swooped in, the pup momentarily puts its face and nose near the youngster. It appears that the child is not bothered in the slightest.

While the mom may not have gotten a high-five from her child, I’m guessing she wasn’t too upset after getting one from her sweet and adorable pup instead. 

Proverbs 12:10 “An upright man has thought for the life of his beast, but the hearts of evildoers are cruel.”

Once upon an adorable day in Oregon, a baby deer and a rabbit had the sweetest interaction. It was almost as if the movie Bambi had come to life. The moment was captured on camera by homeowner Christopher Cody Everretts, whose backyard transformed into an enchanted forest. This real-life encounter between Bambi and Thumper becomes a magical chapter in his backyard. The baby deer and rabbit, aptly named Bambi and Thumper by adoring fans, met in a heartwarming scene caught on camera and quickly went viral.

With a natural grace that could only be choreographed by nature itself, the young fawn and the gray fluffy bunny approached each other. Their tentative curiosity mirrored that of newfound friends as they sniffed at each other, their noses twitching in unison. It was a scene straight out of a classic film as if Bambi and Thumper had stepped off the silver screen and into Christopher's backyard.

Their interaction was nothing short of magical.

A scared and angry cat finds a pal and undergoes a dramatic transformation that you’d have to see to believe. In the cat world, it is the miracle of all miracles! In the whisker-tingling tale of a feral feline named Grey, a fur-raising journey from fear to friendship unfolded, leaving his new owner Jen feeling like she had used up all nine lives in the process. Grey, with his tattered fur and wary eyes, was a picture of feline fury, hissing, spitting, and clawing at anyone who dared to approach.

Despite being hit by a car and suffering from a severe ear infection, Grey's defenses remained as sharp as his claws, and Jen found herself walking on eggshells around her new, tempestuous tabby. Armed with a stick to administer medicine and tentatively attempt pets, Jen's efforts to soothe Grey's fears seemed to be as effective as herding cats.

But Jen refused to throw in the towel just yet. She knew that beneath Grey's prickly exterior lay a heart in need of healing. And so, with determination in her heart and a dash of hope in her soul, Jen decided to introduce Grey to her own beloved cat, Bop.

When Grey laid eyes on Bop for the first time, Jen witnessed a transformation that left her feline purring with joy. "It was like a light switch turned on," Jen exclaimed, her heart swelling with relief. Grey's wary demeanor melted away as he approached Bop with cautious curiosity, sniffing noses and exchanging tentative purrs.

As Jen watched the two cats tentatively explore their newfound friendship, she felt a weight lift off her shoulders. It seemed that all Grey had needed was a companion to share his fears with – someone who understood the language of whiskers and meows, and who could offer him the comfort and reassurance he so desperately craved.

From that day forward, Grey was a changed cat. No longer did he hiss and spit at Jen; instead, he greeted her with soft purrs and gentle head bumps, his once-angry eyes now filled with trust and affection.

In the end, Jen learned a valuable lesson – sometimes, all it takes is a little companionship to turn fear into friendship, and anger into love. As she watched Grey and Bop play together, she knew that their bond was truly the cat's whiskers.

In the purrfectly paw-some journey of Grey from fear to friendship, Jen unearthed a whisker-licking truth – the meow-nificent power of love and companionship, gifts bestowed upon us by a divine paw. Just as Grey found solace and comfort in the presence of his newfound friend, Bop, so too can we find strength and support in the fur-tunate friendships that grace our lives.

For in the embrace of friendship, we catch a glimpse of the boundless love of God, who crafted us not to tread this cat-tastic journey alone but to share it with fellow feline enthusiasts. As Proverbs 17:17 reminds us, "A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity." In the whiskers wiggled, the tails curled, and the paws clasped, we see echoes of the love that God showers upon us each and every day.

Proverbs 17:17 “A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity."
