A shelter cat with the saddest face had given up hope, sitting quietly in the cage until a couple came to rescue him. What a difference adoption can make in just an hour!
One hour is all it took to transform this sad cat into a happy ball of orange fur. Introducing Benben. He had been called the saddest cat on the internet during the days he spent at the shelter. Shelter workers think Benben had been attacked by another animal, he had some deep cuts, a cauliflower ear, and his spine was crushed.
Of course, he isn’t really frowning, it is just some extra skin on his face that makes him look that way. 
Benben was scheduled to be put to sleep. Workers at the shelter said it was as if Benben knew his fate. 
He stopped eating and drinking. The day before Benben was scheduled to be put down a woman who works with an ER vet took him home! 
She said that as soon as they got home, Benben was transformed. Within just 60 minutes he was smiling, purring, and wanted to cuddle. 
Benben finally felt safe, he felt loved and was finally happy. 
So much for being the saddest cat on the internet! No one expected Benben ever to be able to walk again – but he proved everyone wrong! 
Benben is able to walk, run, and jump (small distances!). 
Love is a powerful thing! Animals are so resilient! 
This is an inspiring story! Maybe there is an animal at the shelter who could flourish in your home. 
Share away, people!

You wouldn’t believe what this family thinks of their beloved dogs, really I’m touched and moved to the point that I think this family just set an example. This family has just made it clear to the world that come what may, they will never leave their fur babies alone. In the city of Joso, a city which is north of Tokyo, Japan, a flash flood emerged on the 10th of September 2015 which severely destroyed everything it came in contact with.
Not only that, approximately 90,000 people were evacuated, but others were still waiting for their turn. There were some who were dangerously stranded on roof tops hoping that they will be safe as the raging waters continued to snake throughout the city. They had to hold on to hope because with floods, there’s always a risk. To save those stranded on roof tops helicopter rescue teams were deployed and to their surprised and amazement, one family was holding tight to their pups – two Shiba Inus!
Watch this brave rescue caught of camera here:
As soon as help arrived, the family and their beloved fur babies were airlifted to safety. What we’ve come to know is that entire homes were swept away after the Kinugawa River’s bank burst. In fact, during that period of time, the region faced more than twice the amount of monthly rainfall in a day.
I really don’t know what to say, I mean my heart was up my throat when I saw this and that family just set an amazing example. I’m so happy that both the family and their fur babies were rescued and that they managed to be saved in time 🙂 If you’ve seen the entire video, don’t forget to share it with your friends. Let’s show the world what pets mean to some people.

Joey Wagner, a marine animal rescuer from Nova Scotia, rescued a severely ill pit bull puppy on the brink of death. The mange-infested puppy was taken to the vet to receive the care he so desperately needed, but little did Mojo know that he’d be reunited with his rescuer.
The three-month-old pit bull puppy was said to only have hours to live. Wagner moved Mojo to an animal hospital. 
The little pup got his name after his miraculous recovery. He obviously had all kinds of good mojo and luck on his side. 
Because of the severity of Mojo’s case, ordinary adoptions were not considered. But that led to the best part of the entire story; Wagner came back to adopt the dog he saved, and the surprise made Mojo very happy! 
Today, Mojo is three years old. His coat never fully grew back, but the love he receives from his family is more than enough to keep him warm. It’s so great to see him in his forever home.

WiFi Experiment Done By A Group Of 9th Grade Students Got Serious International Attention. THIS Is Why…
Researchers from England, Holland and Sweden have shown great interest in the experiment done by 5 girls from northern Jutland in 9th grade.
They did an experiment for a biology test, so brilliant, that it has attracted international attention among acknowledged biologists and radiation experts.
The girls got really surprised by the sudden attention from all around the world.
“It has been such a rollercoaster ride. I still cannot believe it”, says Lea Nielsen, one of the girls.
“It’s totally overwhelming and exciting. It’s just not something you experience every day”. added Mathilde Nielsen, another girl from the group.
It all started because they found it difficult to concentrate during the school day:
“We all think we have experienced difficulty concentrating in school, if we had slept with the phone next to our head, and sometimes also experienced having difficulty sleeping”, explains Lea Nielsen.
So here is what they did:
They took 400 cress seeds and placed them in 12 trays. Then, they placed 6 trays in 2 separate rooms at the same temperature. They gave the same amount of water and sun to all the trays for 12 days.
However, 6 of the trays were put next to two [Wi-Fi] routers. Such routers broadcast the same type of radiation as an ordinary mobile.
After 12 days what the result spoke was clear: cress seeds next to the router did not grow, and some of them were even mutated or dead.
“It is truly frightening that there is so much affect, so we were very shocked by the result”, says Lea.
Olle Johansson, a renowned professor at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, is one of the impressed researchers.
He will now repeat the experiment with a Belgian research colleague, Professor Marie-Claire Cammaert at the Université libre de Bruxelles.
According to him, this is absolutely brilliant:
“The girls stayed within the scope of their knowledge, skilfully implemented and developed a very elegant experiment. The wealth of detail and accuracy is exemplary, choosing cress was very intelligent, and I could go on”, he says.
He is not slow to send them an invitation to go on the road:
“I sincerely hope that they spend their future professional life in researching, because I definitely think they have a natural aptitude for it. Personally, I would love to see these people in my team!”
But the experiment proved something really huge. Something the majority of the world does without knowing the consequences.
“None of us sleep with the mobile next to the bed anymore. Either the phone is put far away, or it is put in another room. And the computer is always off”, says Lea.
If your bed is close to a WiFi Router we strongly advise to change the bed’s or the router’s location. And when it is time to sleep, leave the technology where its place is.

While out hiking a scenic trail in Oregon last Monday night photographer, Corey Hancock stumbled upon a three-month-old baby bear.
The poor little bear was in such terrible condition that Hancock knew he was dying.
The baby was barely moving when he first walked up to him, and he appeared to have been abandoned by his mother.
There was no way that Hancock could leave the baby bear there to die. So, he made the decision to rescue him instead and he carried him for over two miles, uncertain whether he would live or die.
At one point he even gave him CPR and the baby took a breath. He was obviously struggling just to keep breathing.
He took the little bear to Turtle Ridge Wildlife Center near Salem, Oregon, where he's currently in the process of recovering from dehydration as well as starvation but he's doing much better now.
There are many animal experts out there who don't agree with Hancock's decision to rescue the little bear. They don't even think that he should have touched the bear.
According to regulations of the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, the little bear's savior could have been slapped with a $6,000 fine or even spent up to a year in jail.
However, Oregon State Police say that Hancock won't be penalized at all for rescuing the little bear.
This story was posted by photographer Corey Hancock on his Facebook page. Take a look at the video below to find out more:
OMG! How could anyone expect someone to just walk away and leave that poor little guy there to die all alone?
We're so glad that this hero wasn't fined or punished in any way! Thank you so much for rescuing this baby bear, Hancock!
What do you think about what Hancock did? Did officials make the right call in this case?

During a night dive last January at Gadren Eel Cove in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii; a bottlenose dolphin caught in a fishing line approached scuba diver Keller Laros for help.
The dolphin’s left pectoral fin was stuck, wrapped around fishing line with a hook embedded into its body. The divers, who were well-equipped, signaled the dolphin to come over.
Thanks to Martina Wing this amazing footage was caught on film.

Working with wildlife is both risky and rewarding. It can be a difficult job to capture the best pictures of these animals, as well as tiring. One man never expected this would happen when he decided to lie in the grass for a nap.
Dolph Volker is a volunteer at the Cheetah Experience in South Africa, where the population of these big cats are being preserved. They can be extremely shy creatures who don’t take very well to human interruption in their daily lives. But Dolph has been working for months to gain the confidence of these animals, and all of his hard work has paid off.
Take a look at this video!
When he lies in the grass, one of his best cheetah friends comes over and starts licking the side of his neck. Soon the cheetah settles down for a nap beside Dolph and passes out for the rest of the day, purring away. Share away, people!

A man went to extreme lengths after his dying wife asked to see her dog one last time. He recently shared his story on popular site Reddit about how he was able to do it…
“My wife was in the hospital after a very invasive surgery, which after a few days, looked like it did not produce ideal results. The prognosis was not good. She was able to speak, but was not eating or drinking, and relied completely on her IV and hard pain pills. In one rare instance of cogent speech, she convinced me to sneak our dog into her private room, so she could see her ‘one more time.’
“Our dog is about a 50 pound Australian Shepherd, and as it turns out, she fits nicely in a normal suitcase. I packed her in, with the lid unzipped, and placed her in the car until we arrived at the hospital. When we arrived, I ‘explained’ to her that I would open the zipper in a few minutes and that she could see her Mommy.
“Unbelievably, she never whimpered, barked, or whined. When I walked past the station nurses, I told them I was simply bringing items to make my wife more comfortable. No problem, they said.
“When we entered the room, my wife was asleep. I unzipped the suitcase, and the dog immediately jumped on the bed, and gingerly laid across her chest, somehow avoiding the wires and IV. She positioned herself to where she could look directly into my wife’s eyes, and laid completely still, until about twenty minutes later, when my wife woke up, and started moaning in pain.
“The dog immediately started licking her, and quietly moaned, as if knowing that barking would definitely blow our cover. My wife hugged her for almost an hour, smiling the whole time. We were busted by one nurse who was so touched that she promised not to tell. When my wife finally went back to sleep, I loaded the dog back in the suitcase, and she somewhat sheepishly obliged.
“My wife sadly passed a few days later, and as if that is not sad enough, now, whenever I grab the suitcase, the dog thinks we are doing to see her again.”

Sloths live in tropical rain forests. They can be found living in Central and South America. They have long arms and resemble monkeys – but unlike monkeys’ sloths are very (very) slow moving! Three-toed sloths are the world’s slowest animal. Sloths are more closely related to anteaters and armadillos.
According to National Geographic, scientists think that sloths are slow moving to avoid being noticed by predators. They often will have algae growing on them too – which helps hid them.
The Sloth Sanctuary of Costa Rica educates the public about the importance of the sloth to the environment. Baby sloths that get left behind for whatever reason are cared for at the sanctuary.

When Justina Strumilaite met Brownie, it was pretty much love at first sight. The fuzzy little kitten had only two toes on his right paw and had difficulty eating.
They were certain that little Brownie, the runt of the litter, would not survive beyond a few weeks. Justina believed in him though encouraged him to climb over his siblings and nurse properly.
Eventually, Brownie began to eat properly and gained weight. Take a scroll through his incredible transformation below!

I’m not really an expert in gardening or farm work, but I don’t think this is supposed to happen. This guy was just doing some yard work when all of a sudden, as if he was a Disney princess, a wild baby robin approached him.
At first I thought it was a domesticated bird but pay close attention. The little guy saw the human was exposing a lot of dirt and where’s dirt there’s bound to be a few delicious worms and bugs. He must have been so hungry he didn’t even care the big man was holding a big pointy tool in his hands. Well we hope you had a nice lunch, little birdie.

Whenever His Favorite Human Rubs His Face, This Giant Lynx Makes The Most Adorable Sound Ever
When you think of a Lynx, chances are a big kitty happily purring in utter contentment does not come to mind! However, that’s exactly how Max the Canada Lynx acts when his caretaker pets him and gives him a nice relaxing head massage. Just like his domestic feline relatives, Max is partial to a good ear, cheek, and chin scratch. In fact, he loves it so much that he rolls over on his back and purrs like an engine. Hearing his sweet rumble is so therapeutic and relaxing, if you listen to this you’ll be falling asleep before you know it!
While the Canada Lynx may be one of the most elusive and wise looking animals in North America who do their best to avoid human contact, Max is not fully wild. He is also not fully tame or domesticated either. He was born in captivity at a zoo but he was rescued, and these days he lives in his own indoor/outdoor enclosure with his caretaker, Bernadette Hoffman, in upstate New York.
She runs a program called Wildlife Education by Bernie which Max is a part of. He’s an education animal ambassador who helps teach school children and the general public about the ongoing need to both protect and respect our planet and the endangered species who call it home.
For centuries the Canada Lynx had endured and survived despite hunters who trap and kill them for their fur. In addition to hunting, an overall loss of habitat has led to their steady decline, so much so that in March of 2002 they were added to the endangered species list as threatened. Hopefully their population and numbers will rebound back to healthy levels.
Until then, wildlife ambassadors like Max will continue to raise awareness and spread hope for the survival of all threatened and endangered species everywhere. Check out his beautiful face and listen to the sweet purring noises he makes, they’ll definitely make you relax and feel at ease!

When a beloved pet dies, it can be a heartbreaking experience, one you feel like you’re never going to recover from. It does take time to heal, and by then, you feel prepared to open your heart to another pet in your life.
That’s what happened to Steve Grieg after his dog had passed.
Even after several months had passed by, he was still crushed and didn’t feel like he was ever going to recover from this loss.
He wanted to open up his heart to another dog, but he needed the right dog to bring into his life.
He went to his local shelter and sought the “most unadoptable” senior dog that they had.
He wanted to find the dogs who had been overlooked and ignored who didn’t seem like they were ever going to find the forever homes of their own.
The results? He now has ten shelter dogs who couldn’t be happier about him taking all of them home.
He even has an Instagram filled with pictures and has tens of thousands of followers who love to see the antics that he and his dogs are up to on a daily basis.
Taking care of them is a lot of work, and he has to get up at five in the morning in order to prepare a large breakfast for all of his doggy children.
They all have special diets that need to be catered to, so it’s definitely a lot of work.
And then after a meal, he takes them all out on walks to the park, appointments at the vet, and filling the rest of their day with hugs and cuddles that they deserve.
Having these senior dogs is easy, as they don’t have to be trained or kenneled or be taught new tricks or obedience.
They like to take life slow, and that’s just fine with Steve.
Once he sits down after a long hard day, there’s always a few dogs attached to his legs that just want to tell him thank you for taking care of them.
Knowing that he makes them happy is all that he needs to continue doing what he loves.
These dogs aren’t the only ones to benefit from his love and care.
He also has a pet pig named Bikini, two ducks, some pigeons, chickens and a few cats.
He has a veritable animal farm in his yard, and he wouldn’t have it any other way.
Although he doesn’t have any more room to take in more senior dogs, he does intend to expand in the future so that no shelter dog will ever have to feel unloved ever again.
