Everything for Dogs

Puppy Imitates His Brother As He Hops Down The Stairs

A dog is walking up a set of stairs.

One day in August, Bowie, a 2-year-old dog, lost a leg because of health problems. Because of that, he had to learn to do everything again with only three legs. His family has been there to help him. One of the things that he had to relearn was going taking the stairs. Bowie learned to lean on the wall as he hops his way down.

Come January, Bowie already had adjusted to having three legs. It was also the month that a new puppy came and became a member of their family. This dog was Zeppelin.

Zeppelin and Bowie became fast friends. Karisa Maxwell, the dogs’ mom, said that these two dogs always do things together even if they have other dog siblings.

Karisa said that they were concerned that Zeppelin may become too big for Bowie. But despite that, Zeppelin continued to be gentle with Bowie. She even became his protector and playmate.

Zeppelin still looked at Bowie as her big brother. She would follow what he does.

Karisa said that they observed Zeppelin hopping as she came down the stairs and they thought it was because she had short legs. But as she grew big, she still continued to do just that. That was when they realized that Zeppelin was just imitating what Bowie does on his three legs.

Karisa and the rest of the family tried to help Zeppelin with this habit. They wanted to show her that she can go down the stairs without hopping because she has four legs. They even showed her how to do it. But Zeppelin would just look at them in confusion.

Up until now, Karisa says that Zeppelin still goes down the stairs just like her brother Bowie does. Hopping down the stairs is her and Bowie’s thing and we think that’s what is normal for them.

Husky With Goofy Eyes Gets Adopted, Thanks To Social Media

A dog with its mouth open is standing in a room.

Breeders are where you can find the best dog breeds with good lineages. However, these breeders sometimes don’t care about the dogs that are in their care and only see them as the product that they have to sell. When something isn’t perfect about a dog they breed, they often bring them to shelters since they only care for the dogs they can profit from. This is what happened to a Siberian Husky from New Jersey who captured thousands of hearts through social media.

Goofy dog

A Siberian Husky named Jubilee was left at the Husky House shelter in New Jersey when she was two years old by some breeders. Their reason for this was that the pooch looked ‘weird’ and that they couldn’t sell her. The pooch was born with an eyelid deformity that makes her look surprised all the time. Aside from her appearance, there was nothing physically wrong with the doggie at all.

The shelter took the doggie in with open arms and took to social media in hopes of finding Jubilee her forever home. Little did the shelter staff know that the story of the pooch they took in would go viral online.

Online sensation

After the Husky House posted pictures and the story of Jubilee on their Facebook page, thousands of people were touched by her story. They even commented on how beautiful the doggo was and how special she was to them.

All that attention that Jubilee got because of the shelter’s posts on social media was nothing compared to finding the dog the best family for her. There were over a hundred applicants who wanted to adopt the adorable Husky, and through all that, the shelter was finally able to place the pooch with the best one. This goes to show that different doesn’t mean weird, and dogs like these shouldn’t be tossed aside because of this.

Talented Service Dog Loves To Play Jenga

Dogs are always fun to have. Their cuteness can brighten up a gloomy day, and their undying love proves just how loyal they are to their human parents. If you want a playmate who will never get tired of spending some quality time with you, dogs are your perfect match.

While dogs are known to be good at playing catch, there’s one service dog who recently captured everyone’s heart. She did more than just catching things in her mouth. She was also skilled at playing Jenga, a classic game that involved wooden blocks. Secret, a smart Australian Shepherd, is a service dog to a young woman named Mary.

Mary taught Jenga to Secret, and when she finally got the hang of it, both of them played this balancing game. As seen in the video, you could tell how happy Secret was in playing the game of precision. At first, Mary expected Secret to nibble the wooden pieces. She couldn’t believe how good the service dog was at Jenga.

It took a little while for Secret to make a move because she made sure that she carefully picked the block in her mouth. She knew that patience is a virtue, especially when it comes to Jenga. She stayed in the game as her wooden tower never tumbled when it was her turn to move the blocks. Secret’s primary task as a service dog, is to assist Mary with her autism.

Secret accompanied Mary to community college classes. For years Secret has been helping Mary, and they had already become inseparable best friends. Without a doubt, Secret has a natural talent for playing Jenga.

Aside from playing Jenga, Secret is also a skilled painter. Mary noted on her social media account that Secret is good at everything. Her canine capabilities proved that she’s a multi-talented service dog.

Watch how cute Secret is while playing Jenga:

Dogs make excellent pets and companions. But there are specially trained dogs that can help humans live a better and healthier lifestyle despite their disabilities and medical conditions. For Emily, a teen with diabetes type 1, having a service dog would be the ultimate gift!

The struggle with diabetes

Emily Setterstrom is a 16-year-old girl who has lived with diabetes since she was in kindergarten. Her mom, Jennifer, worries about Emily a lot because she already lost her brother to diabetes.

Jennifer and Emily guested on Good Morning America to talk about diabetes. Emily’s condition has made life quite a struggle. A sudden spike in her sugar levels can be fatally dangerous for her. Emily always needs her insulin pump handy for emergencies. If she happens to forget her insulin, she knows anything could happen to her, so Emily always tries to be responsible. Still, Jennifer can’t help but worry, especially now that Emily is about to go to college.

Emily receives the best gift

What they didn’t know was that 4E Kennels, an organization that breeds and trains service dogs for people with medical conditions, was also there to give Emily the ultimate gift: a diabetic alert dog. The puppy will be trained for a year to detect Emily’s blood sugar level and alert her whenever it becomes too low or too high for her.

The moment Emily and Jennifer saw the cute adorable dog, tears welled in their eyes. 4E Kennels explained how the dog would help Emily deal with diabetes so that she could live a normal and healthy life. Even better, they are giving the puppy to Emily as a gift. Knowing that diabetic alert dogs are costly, the puppy comes as a beautiful and heartwarming surprise.

When the puppy finishes his training, he will come to live with Emily. Jennifer is so happy knowing that her daughter will have someone to depend on. Emily can go off to college on her own and still manage her diabetes with the help of her new furry best friend. Watch the epic reactions in the video below.

Water-Loving Pooch Attempts Joining In On Fur Mom’s Bath Time

Dogs can sometimes act in a toddler-like manner. Just as toddlers love to follow their parents wherever they go, our beloved canine friends do the same to feel secure.

As such, it’s not unusual to find an adorable dog follow its fur mom to their bathroom. However, it seems this dog takes its stalking skills to the next level as it chooses to join in on its fur mom’s bath time.

Clark! Get away from here!

In this short yet hilarious video, two brown-furred dogs sit on the tiled floor of their bathroom. While one of the dogs sit quietly facing the camera, the other pooch’s busy tinkering with something interesting inside the room.

A few seconds later, one can hear a woman’s voice yelling the name of one dog inside the bathroom. It turns out, one of the dogs, named Clark, followed Mom while she’s taking a refreshing shower.

Since Mom couldn’t continue with her bath time, she commands the pooch to go out of the shower cubicle. However, this water-loving pooch refuses to follow suit as it continues to accompany Mom inside the shower stall.

Go away, please.

As the video progresses, Clark refused to come out of the shower room, making Mom even more frustrated. Since Mom’s currently taking her bath, she can’t just open the shower curtains to egg the pooch to go out.

With this, she repeatedly begs for the pooch to let her finish her shower in peace. At some point, Mom even calls out to Clark’s fur dad to help her out with the situation. But, nothing that the dog’s fur parents do could convince Clark to let Mom continue with her bath.

Do you think Mom and Dad would still find a way to persuade Clark to leave? If you want to take a look at the video’s ending, make sure to click the play button below.

Lost Dog Wanders Into A Prison, Gets VIP Treatment From The Inmates

Soup, an English Setter, was out hunting for quails with his dad when he got distracted with a deer. Soup wandered into the woods and never returned. His parents never knew that he was getting the VIP treatment at a nearby prison.

Where is Soup?

Soup is an excellent hunting dog, but he gets easily distracted. So when he disappeared into the woods while he was out hunting with his dad, Michael Parker, his humans couldn’t help but worry. The Parkers searched for Soup everywhere, but the dog was never found.

Michael and his wife, Leigh, became more worried when they saw birds feeding on a creature’s carcass. They were thinking of the worst, and that it could be Soup’s dead body that the birds were feasting on. They were relieved to find out that it a deer’s body and not their baby, Soup.

The couple never stopped looking for the lost dog until a correctional officer called and informed them that Soup was at the prison the whole time. Apparently, Soup had lost his name tag, so the prison employees had no idea who the dog belongs to.

Soup’s memorable adventure at a prison

Meanwhile, Soup had completely charmed the inmates that they gave up their dinners so that he can eat. Soup fed on steak, roast beef, and peach cobblers. Apart from the delicious meals and the inmates’ undivided attention, Soup also had a huge yard to run in. He played basketball with some of the detainees and even bonded with the prison’s K-9s.

When Michael heard the news, he rushed to prison right away to collect his dog. Soup had the time of his life there, but he was also excited to go home with his dad. Michael whistled, and the dog came bounding towards him. Soup showered him with sweet kisses before leaping into the truck’s front seat.

Soup is now back home with his loving humans. The Parkers are meaning to go back to the prison to personally thank the inmates and the employees for looking after Soup. They’re also giving the warden a delicious pecan pie. Watch the story of Soup’s adventure in the video below.

Exhausted Pooch Hilariously Falls Asleep On Stairway

A french bulldog is laying down on a couch.

After spending a long and tiring day, isn’t it great to step away from the crowd to lie comfortably on our beds? Since we’re living beings, we need to recharge our bodies with the energy it needs to perform the tasks we need to do.

With this, a playful puppy decides to call it a day and roam towards its sleeping quarters. However, it seems the pooch’s tired from all the frenzied activity it did as it accidentally falls asleep in the middle of their stairway.

I’m so tired.

In this short yet funny video clip, a cute puppy stands in the middle of a steep staircase. At first, you’ll think that the pooch’s taking a glance at something it found interesting on the carpeted step.

However, you’ll soon notice that the puppy isn’t moving from its current position. It’s as if the pooch became a statue glued to the stairway the moment it stepped foot on it.

As the camera focuses on the pooch, everything becomes more evident. It turns out; the puppy fell asleep on the stairway with half of its body resting on the top step, while its lower body dangles on the lower one.

I’m awake; I’m awake!

For a few seconds, the exhausted puppy continued snoozing in the same awkward position. Though the pup’s position is a bit precarious, it seems the pooch doesn’t care at all, so long as it recovers some of its energy back.

Suddenly, one can hear a banging noise in the background. The loud sound ultimately woke the dog-tired pooch, finally bringing him back to his senses. Though he’s a bit disoriented, the pooch manages to readjust into a more comfortable position.

But, do you think the tired puppy made it to his doggy bed? If you can’t wait to see the ending, then you should click the play button in the video linked below.
