Dog Had Been Chained Up His Entire Life, Finally Runs For The Very First Time

Ever since Peanut was just a few months old, he’d been chained up on a rural property in Pennsylvania. His owners lived there too but weren’t real interested in him. They weren’t being harsh on purpose, they were of the old-school mentality of keeping a dog outside. With everything we know and think today, it’s hard to imagine tethering a dog this way for its entire life.

But this was life to Peanut; a heavy chain around his neck and limited space to move. And it was all about to change for the sweet dog.

Lamb Gets Loose In House, Can’t Tell Where Mom’s Voice Is Coming From

We all know what it’s like to call out for our dogs and they can’t find us, and they run through the house trying to find where the sound is coming from. In a bit of a panic, their little feet scatter around on the floor with their heads on a swivel. Then the moment they finally see us, they come barreling toward us as if we had been away for days.

Well this woman had the same scenario play out for her but with a lamb instead! The little thing got loose in the house and was curiously checking everything out. But when mom started calling for it, it had no idea where she was.

That’s when the fun and laughter began!

Dog’s Clever Setup Forces People To Stop And Play Fetch With Him

Every dog loves to play fetch, but it requires at least one human to be around to be able to do so. But one resourceful dog came up with an idea to catch people as they’re walking by his gate. He sticks his head out with a toy in his mouth to get them to throw it for him. He’s done this for so long his owner even made up a sign that hangs right above his head on the fence!

(Translated from Italian)

The sign reads “Please don’t throw the toy on the cacti (the dog will hurt itself). Throw either left or right thanks.”

Rescuers Approach Pit Bull On Top Of Flooded Car, Realize He’s Too Scared To Accept Help

Hurricane Harvey has caused so much pain and suffering while unloading 24.5 trillion gallons of water on the areas in and between Texas and Louisiana. Some were able to evacuate while others were left behind in the middle of the natural disaster.

Rescue teams have been hard at work saving any people or animals stranded by the floodwaters, but when one team noticed a dog hunkered down on top of a car with nowhere to go, they didn’t realize just how tough of a rescue it’d be.

As the men closed in and tried to reach for the pit bull, the dog’s fear took over and he lashed out at the rescuers. It turns out the dog had been trapped there for two days as people failed to lure him into their boats. Thankfully, one rescuer had a trick up his sleeve: some beef jerky! If anything was going to lure a terrified pit bull into their arms, this had to be it. The volunteer rescuers absolutely refused to leave the dog behind and were willing to see the process through.

And it worked! Finally, Harvey the pit bull was safe and sound for the first time in days. After getting Harvey back to land, they realized just what a sweet dog he actually is. If no one steps forward and claims Harvey, one of the rescuers will be happy to take him in and give him a loving forever home. Props to both Kyle Scott and Roy Etheridge for their hard work, determination, and ingenuity in what was an impossible situation for everyone else. The scene connected with people all over, and the news clip below from CBS DFW will surely capture your heart.

The life or death struggle for Harvey has finally come to an end, and he’s in very good hands. During such a tough time, it’s great to be able to see such inspirational, amazing rescue stories with happy endings.

Mom Tells The Sleepy Great Dane Who’s Outside, And The Dog Runs To The Door

Now this is an idea to get dogs to like the vet! The mobile vet RV comes right to the dog’s home where everything is familiar and comfortable for them. No more scary vet’s office full of weird smells. 😛

Watch as Great Danes Max and Kate run outside the moment they arrive. Max is still in bed being a sleepy head, but mom tells him the vet’s outside, so he gets up and runs toward the door! It’s funny seeing dogs so in love with seeing the vet. 🙂
