Cute Animals

After struggling to gain footing, a baby horse built up enough strength and confidence and learned how to walk.

Sometimes people need a little more patience, love and care. God designed and created everyone to be different. As a result, the pace at which someone picks up a skill or a habit will vary greatly. Individuals learn and develop at different speeds.

That also turns out to be true for animals. Not every furry, four-legged creature is exactly like the one before or after it. 

A video posted to YouTube shows how one newborn horse struggled to learn how to walk and physically support itself. The video begins with one of the individuals stating they first came across a startling scene.

“I went over to him and expected him just to jump up,” one person said. “Every attempt he made to stand up, he would come crashing on the ground.”

Believing something was terribly wrong with the young horse, arrangements were made to take the animal to the veterinarian.

The vet supplied the horse with nutrients. But even if that did not work, the animal’s caretaker was determined to provide the animal with the necessary help and care.

“We were gonna do whatever it took,” he said. 

Later, the horse started to make what most believed was progress. The horse started drinking from a bottle, but those feelings of relief were short-lived. 

After witnessing the horse running alongside its mother, it fell to the ground and was no longer able to stand back up. It was back to the veterinarian.

During the return trip to the vet, the horse’s caretaker learned something interesting that was causing the animal’s balance issues.

“We found out that if a baby didn’t get squeezed exactly right as they came out of the birth canal, some chemicals hadn’t been turned off,” the caretaker said. 

To correct the problem, the animal’s doctor performed a maneuver that involved squeezing the animal with ropes. 

“He came out, and he slowly started gaining his equilibrium,” one person said.

Soon after this, the animal began standing on its own and feeding from the mother. The animal was going to be OK!

The animal’s caretaker perfectly summed up the situation with the horse and many other circumstances that crop up in life.

“There is hope in a lot of situations, if you just give it some time and love and patience, you can pull through.”

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

One large animal really did not want to go inside and disappeared from its owner…kind of.

No one enjoys taking orders and being told what to do. Children who are asked to pick up their room will exhibit a series of behaviors to display their displeasure. Crying and stomping one’s feet are popular moves for children in an agitated state. Adults also aren’t too keen on receiving commands most of the time either.

As one video posted on YouTube perfectly presents, animals apparently aren’t big on being told to do something against their will. 

The short, 15-second video starts with a horse enjoying time in the great outdoors. The horse is alone in a large field, off to the left of the screen. It stands near fencing and a large tree.

Seconds into the video, a woman calls out to the horse. 

“Eddy, if you want to come in, you gotta make a run for it,” the woman informs the horse.

Rain is falling steadily to the ground. But the less-than-perfect weather does not seem to have dampened the horse’s enjoyment. Eddy makes it entirely clear that he does not want to come inside. 

In fact, the large animal responds in likely the most hilarious way possible. It perfectly positions itself behind a large tree. The animal has completely hidden itself. 

Eddy’s owner is not too pleased with the animal’s amusing response.

“What? You are not hiding behind that tree. I know you’re not,” Eddy’s owner says.

Before the clip ends, Eddy’s owner, once again, calls out to the animal.

“Eddy?” she says.

Her last-ditch effort does not work at all. The horse does not budge, continuing to hide behind the tree. 

It's unclear who came out on top in this hysterical battle of wills!

Matthew 6:26 “See the birds of the heaven; they do not put seeds in the earth, they do not get in grain, or put it in storehouses; and your Father in heaven gives them food. Are you not of much more value than they?”

Two animals meet for the first time and hilariously engage in a prolonged staring contest.

Animals are all about establishing and maintaining dominance. Anyone who has ever owned more than one pet at a time knows this to be true. Whenever food or treats are present, there is always one who is the first to eat. When it comes to relaxation, that one particular dog or cat will, more times than not, get their preferred spot.

This idea of dominance has nothing to do with how friendly or unfriendly a dog or cat is but more about establishing a hierarchy amongst themselves. 

A short clip posted on TikTok shows a puppy and a full-grown dog meeting for the first time. The two cute animals immediately get into a battle of wills, with an extended staring contest.

In the clip, the puppy sits on a red rug in the middle of the room as the full-grown dog, from the other side of the room, stares at its new housemate. For the first few seconds of the video, there is no movement between the two as the camera ping-pongs back and forth between the two canines.

But suddenly, there is movement. The full-grown dog begins approaching the puppy. But the little guy does not appear intimidated in the slightest. The puppy holds his gaze and never breaks eye contact.

The full-grown dog continues walking up to the new animal. At about the 35-second mark of the clip, the two animals are nearly touching their noses.

Eventually, it appears the full-grown dog moves ever so slightly. This causes the puppy to jump, leaping playfully at the other dog. The puppy continues to greet its new best friend, touching the full-grown dog’s face several times before the clip ends.

It looks like this is the start of a beautiful friendship!

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

The word “selfie” isn’t a word known only to humans anymore. In fact, one farm animal enjoys having its picture taken so much that it runs when it is time for another selfie.

Thanks to the invention of social media, the iPhone and the Android, selfie photographs are now a thing in society. With relative ease, anyone can turn their phone’s camera on and instantly capture a picture of themselves and quickly upload it to Facebook or Twitter for all to see. 

For an extended period of time, a device to assist in taking these up-close, personal photos was all the rage. A few years ago, one couldn’t walk down the street without witnessing someone carrying a self-stick. Thankfully, sales of this odd and, frankly, ridiculous product seemed to have subsided considerably. But selfies are still as important as ever. 

One woman in Turkey has even managed to train a cow – Meltem – to pose for selfies with her. The animal even runs when called for selfie photograph time, according to the video posted on YouTube.

Serife Yilmaz, a college student, works on her family’s farm. She cleans and cares for the animals, such as their cows, which includes Meltem. While caring for the animals, the young woman has managed to train Meltem to take pictures with her.

In the video, Serife says she got the idea to train Meltem to take pictures with her from social media, specifically Instagram. She watched a video of a golden retriever who would pose for selfies with its owner.

The golden retriever, Serife said, would place its head on its owner's shoulder. Her family’s cows, Serife thought, do something similar, so she filmed the video. Serife’s video has her calling out to Meltem, telling the animal, “Let’s take a selfie together.” The cow wastes no time after being called, sprinting over, ready for picture time. 

Serife’s precious photos with her bovine friend are “udder”ly amazing! 

Proverbs 17:22 “A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry."

Two cute, furry and four-legged animals squared off in an eating contest, and in the end, it was not even close.

Dogs are man’s best friend. They are some of the sweetest, most loving and loyal animals walking on God’s green earth. Canines also always seem to be constantly hungry, standing ready to gobble down whatever treat or morsel of food that may come their way. 

A video posted on social media depicts two cute dogs who both have healthy appetites and puts them together in an eating contest. 

The short Instagram video begins with a Corgi and a Shiba Inu, each sitting behind what appears to be dog treats. The approximately 15-20 treats are evenly distributed on the floor as the two cute animals sit and wait patiently right behind the line of treats.

The dogs appear to be trained very well. They are both able to withstand the temptation that lies literally right under their noses. Both animals face forward, looking at the woman holding the camera. Once she gives the command to begin the eating contest, both animals start immediately.

However, it becomes apparent very early that this competition is not even a contest. The Corgi begins scarfing down, basically sucking up the treats at an impressive pace. The dog moves down the line with relative ease, leaving the Shiba Inu in the dust. 

The Corgi completes its set of treats in enough time to lend a helpful hand to its furry competitor. The Corgi, apparently still hungry, turns back around and begins scarfing down the Shiba Inu’s treats.

Competitive eating, likely due to the increased visibility of the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest, has gained in popularity in recent years. The Corgi, with the skills it displays in the Instagram video, looks like it might be able to give Joey Chestnut a run for his money.

Proverbs 12:10 “A righteous man regards the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.”

A clip making the rounds on social media shows the sweet and caring way a vet obtained the trust of an animal obviously in pain.

Most animals are kind-hearted and affectionate creatures. Much like humans, animals want a place where they will be cared for and loved. However, despite their loving, tender nature, animals are also cautious. They want to be sure they aren’t putting themselves in a precarious or dangerous situation.

A video posted on YouTube shows an animal who was injured but was apprehensive about allowing the veterinarian to examine its injured paw. The animal was brought in for an injury to its left front paw.

The short video begins with veterinarian Dr. Thomas Hamilton sitting on the floor in front of the furry, four-legged patient. The dog starts by essentially greeting the doctor. The dog reaches out its right paw to the young medical professional. 

The doctor shakes the dog's paw but still needs to see the other front paw to inspect the injury. The doctor points to the left paw and asks the animal, “Can I have that one?”

Again, the animal remains unsure and responds by giving the doctor its right paw. 

The doctor then scoots closer to the animal, saying, “I’m trying to help you.”

Dr. Hamilton opens both hands to the animal, allowing the dog to smell both hands. The dog responds once again by giving the vet its right paw.

After firmly grasping the animal’s right paw with both hands, he then reaches for the injured paw. The animal, after having warmed up to Dr. Hamilton, relents and allows him to examine the animal’s injured limb.

The vet performs a series of maneuvers on the animal’s paw. He determines that a cracked nail was giving the animal pain. He advises the owner to trim the animal’s nails. Nothing more is apparently needed.

Proverbs 12:10 “An upright man has thought for the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.”

One large, black-and-white farm animal has an obvious love for classic rock from the 1980s. 

The 1980s was a decade that brought about a lot of notable, memorable items and others we wish we could forget (parachute pants). Films like “Die Hard,” “Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark” and “Fast Times at Ridgemont High” were on the big screen in the 80s. Television shows such as “Dallas,” “Cheers” and “Growing Pains” kept people entertained at home.

Music in the 1980s consisted of tunes from artists like Whitney Houston, Madonna, Michael Jackson and Wham! For those not into pop, more the rocker type, Bon Jovi was one of the biggest rock bands of the decade. 

Years later, Bon Jovi’s music is still played, listened to and appreciated by many, which includes a barnyard cow named Jenna. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, one man sits on the ground strumming the guitar and singing Bon Jovi’s “Dead or Alive.” But just over the man’s shoulder looms a large and four-legged fan of Bon Jovi. 

Jenna the cow remains mere inches from the man’s face. At times, the animal even rests her face on top of his head. Jenna wants to ensure she doesn’t miss a single moment of the 80s music. 

She appears to be in absolute heaven throughout the nearly 3-minute clip. Her eyes stay closed, and she’s as calm as can be while she enjoys the sweet, soothing sound. 

The video’s description makes it clear that Jenna does love songs from the 1980s.

“She loves being sung to and has a special affinity for 80s Rock.” 

From the short clip, it’s clear that, as Joan Jett and The Blackhearts so elegantly put it in the 1980s, Jenna loves rock and roll. 

Colossians 3:16 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”

A massive, 100-pound dog exhibits extreme gentleness while providing sweet and loving care for a young child.

Most animals, like humans, want to be cared for and loved. In return, animals will display kindness, loyalty and love. Animals have surprising ways in which they show their love and loyalty. It may be that they refuse to leave the bedside of someone sick or provide comfort to an anxious or upset individual.

Animals may also show their love in how they care for a young child. That’s what Wally, a 135-pound dog adopted from China, did when a new family member crawled and cried into his life. 

A video posted on YouTube shows the moment Wally meets his new little sister Annika. Wally sniffs around on this new person, trying to figure her out. 

The introduction seemed to go well because the next shot is of the two waving at one another. Wally is outside on a deck while Annika sits and pounds on the sliding glass door. Wally lovingly reciprocates, lightly touching the glass door. 

Annika, likewise, is smitten with Wally. One clip shows the young child sitting on the bed as she looks into the room. She notices Wally walk in and cannot contain her joy after seeing her furry, four-legged friend. She begins squealing and bouncing around with joy.

The video also shows the moments when Annika begins learning to crawl and walk. The child pulls herself along on the floor, reaching out in front of her. Also, she takes a few steps here and there as she tries to get a hold of this whole walking thing. But as the video shows, Wally is never too far away, almost as if he’s there to protect her if she encounters any trouble.

Annika and Wally also go on walks together. The child and loving, gentle animal explore and enjoy the great outdoors. 

The two have developed a special bond over the years. Their love and friendship are very apparent. Wally’s owners will forever be grateful for the love, kindness and gentleness he has shown Annika, and by the end of the clip, their second daughter. 

“We love watching our girls grow up with Wally,” Wally’s owner said. “He just makes our family better. That’s just what he does.”

1 Corinthians 16:14 “Let all you do be done in love.”

A video posted on social media shows one of man’s best friends keeping a watchful eye on a group of children enjoying time in the pool.

The summer season is a time filled with heat, humidity and activities intended to facilitate a momentary escape from the hot weather conditions. During the often muggy and blisteringly warm months of June, July and August, attendance at lakes and pools skyrockets. 

Stepping into a bathing suit and jumping into the water is a fun-filled time for all. However, as much fun as cannonballs and belly flops can be, time in the water also comes with danger. Drowning, even for the most experienced of swimmers, is a possibility. 

However, Zeus, a loving and attentive German Shepherd, is determined not to let that happen on its watch, as a video on TikTok shows. 

The short, 50-second clip begins with the German Shepherd standing at the edge of a swimming pool as three young children float around, enjoying the water. The dog keeps a watchful eye, never letting any child out of its sight, not even for a second. 

One of the children in the pool asks whether the animal knows how to swim. The young man’s inquiry is met with a resounding “yes” from several people off-screen. 

But then the dog notices something odd and decides to investigate. One of the children in the pool, who wears a snorkel mask, bobs up and down with its face in the water. The dog stares for a few seconds and then barks at the child. 

The child pops up, removes the mask and swims over to the concerned canine. The dog gives the young man several loving licks on the face. The animal can relax, knowing the young swimmer is OK. 

Having a dog like that around would give any parent greater peace of mind in regard to their children’s safety and the water. 

Joshua 1:9 “Have I not given you your orders? Take heart and be strong; have no fear and do not be troubled; for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Several kind-hearted people found and rescued a tiny, 4-week-old Frenchie puppy who was left to fend for himself in a chicken pen.

Animals are extraordinary beings who, like people, want to be cared for and loved. Anyone who has ever owned a pet understands how animals quickly become family members. It soon gets to the point where celebrating a birthday, recognizing a holiday, or really doing anything without them feels odd and almost wrong. 

According to a video posted on YouTube, Pino, a French Bulldog, did not have the best start in life. As the video mentions, Pino was found as a puppy shivering, shaking and cowering in the corner of a chicken pen. Those in the video speculate that Pino had been dumped because he had mange.

However, luckily there were people kind enough to take the animal in, care for him and nurse him back to health. But the animal did have a long road to recovery. The video mentions it was two weeks before Pino was strong enough to undergo a medicated bath. He was simply too weak. The video shows the animal being weighed several times. 

The cute little animal's personality shined through after Pino’s skin and fur started healing. 

“He quickly became a very playful little boy,” the woman in the clip mentioned.

But as much as the human rescuers helped Pino, other fellow rescue dogs helped Pino maybe even more, showing him the love that he so desperately needed and desired.

“He immediately found a surrogate mother,” the woman said. “She took him under her wing and gave him so much love.”

Then two months after his rescue, Pino was adopted. He had finally found his happy “fur-ever” after home. 

Pino is now happy, healthy and getting plenty of love and attention!

The change in appearance and personality in the animal from rescue to adoption is startling and heartwarming all at the same time. 

The cruelty of humans never ceases to amaze me. Who could abandon a puppy, leaving it to fend for itself, essentially throwing it out to die? 

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

One animal had a thoroughly adorable reaction as she gazed at the sun for the first time.

Animals are much smarter, both in terms of intelligence and being able to read and understand a situation, than most people admit. After some training, animals can become emotional support for people who may need it. The animals know and understand when their owner is experiencing an episode and provide the necessary comfort. 

Also, Animals pick up on changes, even the most minuscule of ones. Move anything in your house, and cats will pick up on it instantly. Even simply rearranging a chair or moving a rug will result in the feline smelling every inch of the item for 10-20 minutes.

So, since knowing this about members of the animal kingdom, it should come as no surprise that a chimpanzee immediately spotted a change in its surroundings. But that doesn’t make Vanilla’s, a 29-year-old chimpanzee, reaction any less precious and touching when the animal got her first look at the sun. 

A clip posted on YouTube shows Vanilla, who had “spent virtually her entire life in a testing lab,” exiting a facility. After the chimp jumps out of what appears to be a window, it’s greeted by a fellow chimpanzee. The two animals share a loving embrace, and then Vanilla gets a gander at the sky and sun. 

The sweet expression on the animal’s face says it all. Vanilla is blown away. She continues looking at the sun, seemingly unable to comprehend what her eyes are seeing. 

As the short video mentions, Vanilla’s darling reaction comes after she had been transferred to a Florida sanctuary. 

May Vanilla have many more days and fun times enjoying and taking in the Florida sunshine.

Genesis 1:21 “And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”

One dog could not contain himself and ran around frantically as his owner popped the question.

Marriage is a huge step in life. It’s a sacred commitment between two people, vowing before God and their loved ones that they will remain together through everything. But before saying “I do” a proposal must take place beforehand. It’s a memorable, special, and as one dog displayed, an exciting and joyful event. 

The video posted on YouTube begins with Sunny’s owner, Jack, getting down on one knee, with the ring in hand, as he asks his girlfriend, Maddy, to marry him. The young woman was overcome with emotion by the unexpected display of affection and love. She buries her face in her hands as tears fall from her eyes.

But Maddy wasn’t the only one feeling the emotions of the special moment. Sunny, a golden retriever, begins running up and down the beach. Sunny started zooming back and forth between their legs. Jack, noticing Sunny’s excited reaction, wanted Sunny to calm down a bit because he was “stealing my show.”

Maddy, retelling the special moment, said she was watching Sunny closely because he had gotten a “big burst of the zoomies.” 

She also added that Sunny, with his frenzied reaction, “drew a big love heart around us.”

Maddy called Jack’s proposal and Sunny’s overjoyed reaction “a perfect moment.”

Not only has Sunny been a big part of Jack and Maddy’s relationship, including his involvement in their proposal, but he also has a role in their wedding. 

“Sonny will be the ring bearer,” Maddy said. “He was there when Jack gave me the first ring, and he’ll be there when Jack gives me the second ring as well.”

It’s safe to say that Sunny is likely looking forward to the wedding and carrying the wedding rings for the happy couple. 

Ecclesiastes 3:12 “I am certain that there is nothing better for a man than to be glad, and to do good while life is in him.”

Dozens of tiny and cute hummingbirds were recorded gathered and having a good time at their local pool.

As anyone knows, when the temperatures and the humidity increases, so do the numbers at pools, lakes and waterparks. People want to beat the often warm conditions that accompany the summer months. Frequenting such establishments is one way to achieve that goal. 

As it turns out, humans aren’t the only creatures on Earth that enjoy visiting pools and similar places. A video posted on YouTube shows dozens, close to 30 different hummingbirds hanging out, having a pool party.

The short, 48-second clip is a video that shows the many winged creatures essentially kicking back and enjoying themselves. While the clip shows some winged patrons only staying for a short time, others linger much longer. In fact, most of the birds remain throughout the entire clip.

It's unclear, at this time, if a lifeguard was on duty during the party. But given the number of birds present and the relative shallowness of the pool, one can safely assume that it was likely a swim-at-your-own-risk type of situation.

The video gives a unique glimpse at birds that are normally hard to get a good look at in nature. Others who commented on the YouTube video marveled at the beautiful creatures relaxing and enjoying time at the pool.

“I never realized how much I needed a hummingbird pool party in my life until now,” one person wrote.

“Its an odd contrast to see them chilling out on their feet compared to the insane speed of their wings when flying,” a second person added.

“Wow, hummingbirds are very territorial, I’m surprised they are all so calm in such a large group, really cool footage,” someone else posted.

Matthew 6:26 “See the birds of heaven; they do not put seeds in the earth, they do not get in grain, or put it in storehouses; and your Father in heaven gives them food. Are you not of much more value than they?”

A little girl and a golden retriever have the sweetest relationship, full of love, care and kindness.

Close, personal friendships are an invaluable commodity. There is no way to place a price tag on the value of a relationship with a good, trustworthy, caring and loving person, or in some cases, an animal. Friends want to see us succeed and be happy. Friends are also there to pick us up when life becomes overwhelming. Those special people do all this simply because they care.

Baby Ally and Whiskey, a golden retriever, have a deep, personal and beautiful friendship. It’s also probably the cutest relationship that you’ve likely ever seen.

A clip posted to YouTube documents the friendship, over the course of several years, between Ally and Whiskey. The video begins with Whiskey helping Ally’s parents attend to her needs. The dog multiple times brings the child’s blanket over to them. 

Whiskey, as the video shows, became very protective of baby Ally. He would lay down right beside her, watching over the child. He would curl up right next to her, whether she was on the floor or the couch. 

The golden retriever was even concerned about the child’s cleanliness. Whiskey would often lick her feet and toes. He just wanted to ensure Ally’s parents hadn’t missed any places. 

The video points out that when Ally grew up, she and Whiskey’s relationship changed. Ally began returning the favor, showing Whiskey some tender love and care. 

Ally would hilariously drop food she didn’t like or want onto the floor for Whiskey to gobble up. Whiskey, I’m sure appreciated this move. 

Now, Ally helps walk her best pal around the neighborhood and even helps, or at least tries, to fill Whiskey’s food bowl. 

Ally’s mother, who narrates the short, 3-minute clip, believes her daughter’s special bond with Whiskey will benefit Ally for the rest of her life. 

“I know, with great certainty, Ally will grow up to be a kind, loving, affectionate, helpful, caring person,” she said. “And we owe that to Whiskey.”

These are two best friends for life!

Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 “Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls, and doesn’t have another to lift him up.”

A hilarious viral video shows that one dog has not exactly been blessed with the best memory in the world. 

Animals are such a blessing in life. They add so much fun, friendship and love to the life of a pet owner. They will be some of the best friends we’ll ever have in life. As any pet owner knows, animals, due to their unique and quirky personalities, are also a great source of laughter.

A video posted on TikTok of a confused pet has gotten plenty of views, leaving people in stitches from laughter. In the short, 13-second video, Dolly, a dog, is captured on a doorbell camera, peering right into the camera.

Seconds into the video, the dog, who genuinely seems baffled by the contraption, turns its head sideways. However, as it does that, the animal inadvertently rings the doorbell. The dog, still with what appears to be a confused look on its face, continues to look into the camera as the doorbell sounds. 

But then the animal does something even more hilarious! 

It backs away and starts barking anxiously because, as the video’s description points out, “someone is at the door.” Yes, the dog is warning others that it has just rung the door. Dolly is on high alert, informing those around her of herself. 

As the animal continues barking, it looks out into the yard in a couple of different directions. It almost seems to slowly come to the realization that no one is coming. 

Technology can be difficult, confusing and tricky at times, and as the video shows, even animals can get fooled. 

The laugh-out-loud clip has been liked more than 400,000 times and viewed more than 1.6 million times! 

Genesis 1:21 “And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”

A little girl was overjoyed when she was given a cute puppy with the same rare limb malformation as her.

As everyone learned while growing up, anything that causes one to stick out will be ridiculed and picked at relentlessly. It does not matter if it’s a different type of clothing, a speech impediment, a skin condition or some other physical deformity, children on the playground and on the bus aren’t known for showing mercy. 

Children desperately want to fit in and be accepted. That’s why Brooklyn, a little girl, was thrilled to have found a puppy who also suffers from ectrodactyly. Ectrodactyly is a rare “condition in which middle parts of the hands and/or feet are missing, giving a cleft appearance,” according to the National Library of Medicine. 

Brooklyn, a kindergartener, endured harsh treatment from her classmates due to her right hand. Children in the classroom and on the bus said things to the little girl that weren’t too terribly kind. 

In a video posted to YouTube, Brooklyn’s mother, Tina, states that her daughter would get teary-eyed while looking at photos and videos of Bronx. Brooklyn told her mom, “It just makes me so happy that somebody else is like me.”

Knowing how happy simply looking at photos of Bronx online made Brooklyn, her parents went out to pick up the unique pup. The 24-hour round-trip outing was done in secret in order to surprise the little girl. 

When she first met her puppy and was told he was hers, she could not believe it.

“He’s actually ours?” Brooklyn asked repeatedly. You’re not joking?”

Brooklyn states that her “favorite thing about Bronx is his paw.”

Brooklyn and her mother, Tina, say that Brooklyn and Bronx have “identical matching paws.”  

The animal now waits expectantly at the door for Brooklyn to get off the bus and races to greet her once she enters the house.

“Bronx is my best friend,” Brooklyn says. 

What a beautiful story of love, acceptance and friendship.

Proverbs 18:24 “A man of many companions may be ruined, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.”

One cute, furry, four-legged creature showed several train passengers a ton of love as it cuddled right up to them. 

Animals are unique members of God’s creation. They add so much to our lives, enriching them greatly. Dogs especially seem to be extraordinary beings. Most are incredibly loyal and caring and make for great companions. They are, after all, man’s best friend.  

One short, 30-second video posted on TikTok exemplifies the sweet and loving nature of dogs. In the clip, a golden retriever cuddles up and shows love to several completely perfect strangers on a train. 

The clip begins with the friendly animal sitting next to a woman and greets her by giving her its paw. The woman, who has turned toward the animal, has all her attention focused on the loving beast.

Next, the animal sits quietly and patiently by a man on the phone who lovingly scratches the dog under its chin. The dog obviously loves the attention. 

After spending time with the businessman, the golden retriever leans onto a man in a green hat and blue shirt. To make the moment even cuter, the dog rests its head on the man’s shoulder and places a paw on his arm.

At the 20-second mark in the video, the dog sits next to a woman who is intently focused on her phone, scrolling up and down on the device. The dog, not seeming to care where the woman’s focus rests, leans over onto the woman. The animal places its head on her chest, surprising her as she flashes a big smile. She lovingly gives into the animal’s insistence and pets the golden retriever. 

With such cute, heartwarming displays of affection from such a loving animal, it’s astounding how anyone could not love dogs. God knew what he was doing when he blessed us with canines. 

Proverbs 12:10 “A righteous man regards the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.” 

Sunny Skyz shared TikToker @sheena.ltd’s video of the marvelous moment when a hummingbird mistook her colorful hair for a flower, and it’s hard to decide whether it’s the bird or the woman that is more fun to watch!

Like Snow White and Cinderella, whose bluebird buddies keep them company and help them get ready each morning, respectively, the lady in this video is warm and welcoming to the hummingbird that has taken an interest in her. 

Catching sight of her pretty purple hair buns, the petite bird is hoping he’ll find a little nectar in her lilac-hued blossoms! By the way, hummingbirds are much more fond of cardinal flowers, lupines, and snapdragons than they are roses, lilacs, and lilies. 

With a beautiful blue and green body, Mr. Hummingbird is a lovely specimen. He pokes around at the woman’s jacket hood and the back of her head before stabbing his skinny beak into her bunned hair. And, all the while, she’s totally cool, giggling and chatting and allowing others to capture the scene with their phones! She’s a wonderful sport! 

It’s not just the woman’s hair that is colorful. She is covered in color! Her lime green nails and her hot pink lips are as eye-popping as her vivid jacket, bright blue backpack, and yellow and black herringbone scarf. She stands out just like any other beloved and enchanting princess, and, really, what bird worth his feather-weight could resist?

TikToker @sheena.ltd is a fashion designer, according to her Instagram account. That makes complete sense. The birdie may have determined that the purple blooms were dry and went on his way, but the human and hummingbird interaction was certainly fun while it lasted! 

Hummingbirds, cardinal flowers, fun fashions, and up-for-anything people bring joy to our lives. Unfortunately, it’s easy to see sad and discouraging stuff around us. So, when a teeny-tiny bird injects a dose of delight into an ordinary day—well, that’s pretty cool!   

“The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders; where morning dawns, where evening fades, you call forth songs of joy.” Psalms 65:8

One animal underwent a dramatic transformation, losing more than 50 pounds and the difference in the animal is staggering.

Most people at least have a desire to become healthier. But wanting to lose weight, exercise more and eat better is a lot different from putting in the effort and actually doing it. Nevertheless, being overweight is not part of a healthy lifestyle for humans and animals. 

As a clip posted on YouTube shows, one pitbull was so obese and unhealthy that it could not even stand up to eat. Something had to change, or the animal’s standard of life would suffer and, likely, cut the beast’s life short. 

At the start of the video, the woman, a volunteer at an animal shelter, informs viewers that the pitbull, Margo, came in at 120 pounds. The woman made the decision to help the animal by fostering her. 

As the video shows, Margo was so overweight that a ramp was used to get the dog out of a van.

“It was just really a challenge for her to walk,” the woman said.

The woman in the video was determined to help Margo achieve a healthy weight. The goal was for Margo to shed 50 pounds. 

While the animal was reluctant to take walks at the beginning of her weight loss journey, her personality began to shine when the pounds started to disappear. She started acting like a dog again.

Over the course of eight months, which involved many, many walks and even a few runs, Margo hit her goal. She lost more than 50 pounds, coming in at less than 70 pounds!

To recognize her dramatic weight loss, a party was held in Margo’s honor. Margo even donned an outfit, complete with a miniature hat that read “Let’s Pawty.”

Way to go, Margo!

A news anchor in Boston was on the air reporting when he noticed that his cute, four-legged friend had fallen asleep and his reaction to it was priceless!

Anyone who has been or is a pet owner knows animals have the ability to fall asleep in any position and in any situation. It could be the middle of the day, front row at a rock concert with 10,000 screaming fans and your favorite cat or dog could lie down and be asleep within minutes. 

One furry, four-legged creature apparently got extremely bored and tired during a live broadcast and decided to get some shut-eye. 

But that wasn’t the only precious thing that happened while NBC 10 Boston anchors reported from the station’s newsroom. The male anchor, who was holding the darling little puppy, once he noticed the tired pooch, had a big reaction.

The video posted on the station’s TikTok account shows the guy’s priceless reaction. The anchors were in the middle of talking about the city’s professional hockey team, the Bruins, when the animal began drifting off. Moments later, the man holding the dog notices.

After glancing down at the puppy, the man looks directly at the camera and, with a huge smile, mouths, “Oh my God, he’s asleep!” 

From that point on, the man maintains a massive smile. He also continues looking right at the camera, almost as if he cannot contain himself because of all the cuteness in his arms. 

After his female co-anchor finishes her report, the man shushes the audience and informs viewers that “baby is sleeping.”

Both anchors then continue their broadcast at a whispered volume so as not to disturb their very tired friend. At the very end of the clip, the puppy promptly wakes up as if nothing happened.
