Dachshund Puppy Is so Happy That His Humans Are Home, He Sprained His Tail

Dogs sure are happy right now! Forced lockdowns, the closure of bars and restaurants, and work from home agreements now mean humans are home all day and night.

This means they now have access to cuddles, belly scratches, and games all day long! Of course, they have no idea why their humans are actually home. The reason isn’t a happy one, but they definitely see the silver lining.

One dog-owner shared a funny story about the Dachshund puppy, Rolo.

He’s so adorable, right?!

Rolo is so happy that his humans are home, he learned the hard way that there’s such a thing as too much joy.

As you know, dogs have several tell-tale ways of letting the world when they feel content.

Everything from perking up, and also wagging their tail.

Mum said I looked cute ?

A post shared by Rolo. 7 year old Sausage. UK. (@rolo.thehotdog) on

Just look at Rolo happy to be quarantined at home with his lovely humans!

Unfortunately, Rolo wagged his tail too hard and sprained it!

Thankfully, the injury wasn’t serious and he was able to move it somewhat, but Rolo needed to get some rest.

As you can see, he’s still able to walk and run around outside and is recovering quite well.

Updates about Rolo went viral and people showed their concern, well wishes, and puppy photos!

Fellow puppies also sent well wishes!

Rolo because so popular that his humans even started an Instagram for him, and he seems to be quite comfortable!

Feel better Rolo! It’s nice to know that at least the world’s dogs are having great moments during these tough times.

Dog owners, how have your dogs reacted to your 24/7 presence?

We want to hear how they’re doing, and you can share your experiences in the comments.

Things You Should Know If You Get Into a Car Accident With Your Dog

Each year in the U.S., more than 4 million people are hurt in car accidents, with approximately 38,000 losing their lives. There are also 43.3 million US households with pets.

According to an Automobile Association of America survey, 84 percent of dog owners who responded said they drive with their dogs in the car.

See where I’m going with this? While there aren’t any definitive numbers we can find, there’s a good chance that dogs are involved in a significant portion of car accidents and getting injured or at least suffering some level of shock.

So, what are the best ways to protect your dog in case you’re in an accident? Here are eight things to keep in mind if you take your dog along with you in the car and you have an accident.

1.  Are you okay?

Check your own injuries and the injuries of other humans in your vehicle first before you start moving around looking for your dog.

You can’t help your bud if you’re causing more harm to yourself by becoming frantic while you’re hurt.

2. Restrain your dog.

Dogs are likely to run away from the accident scene.

After you find him or someone brings him to you, restrain him to keep him safe.

3. Make sure your dog is away from the road and check for injuries.

Check for lameness which may point to a spinal injury.

If your dog can walk, lead her to a safe spot away from the road.

If she can’t walk, it may ultimately be safer to pick her up risking further injury and take her from the roadway.

4. Call for emergency services.

If someone hasn’t already done so, call 9-1-1.

Then, call someone you know to carry your dog to a veterinarian.

If that’s not possible, explain to emergency services you have a dog. They may call a vet out too.

5. If you need treatment, take it.

Let first responders take care of you.

If that means leaving your dog while you are transported to the hospital, understand that emergency personnel are trained to keep pets safe, and even get them treatment if necessary, in such instances.

6. Take your dog to the veterinary clinic.

If you’re cleared to leave the accident site you should take your dog to a clinic to get checked.

You may have to get a ride somehow if your car is not in working order, but your pet should be seen by a vet.

7. Watch your dog closely for the next 24-hours.

Especially if you’ve opted not to get your dog checked out immediately.

Any unusual signs of lethargy or refusal to drink water or eat may indicate internal injuries.

8. File an insurance claim.

Since dogs are considered property, most insurance companies will cover at least some of the costs of your dog’s treatment.

Or, in the very unfortunate event your dog dies, insurance will reimburse you for their market value.

Yes, it seems a bit heartless, but why not get something back for your pain and suffering?

Getting into a car accident, especially with your dog, can be a stressful situation. But being prepared and knowing what to do in the unlikely event of it happening will see you through.

Above all, make sure you’re taken care of too. Then you can know you’ll be fully present for the care of your pet.

Virtual Reality Technology Allowed a Mother to Reunite With Her Deceased Child

Virtual reality technology can have a far greater impact than helping us pass the time. In fact, it can help us look into the past. In the case of one mother, it provided the most powerful pathway possible—an opportunity to reunite with her deceased daughter.

Jang-Jisung lost her seven-year-old daughter, Nayeon, in 2016. Nayeon may have passed away from an incurable disease, but that hasn’t prevented her mother from finding a way to make it seem like she’s still there.

Earlier this year, the Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation published a video clip on its YouTube page from a documentary called “I Met You”. Interestingly, the video shifts between the real world and the virtual reality environment. The video shows Jang standing in front of a giant green screen. Donned in a VR headset and a pair of gloves, she can be seen talking and holding hands with her daughter. The interaction even included a birthday cake with lit-up candles.

The reunion between mother and child certainly hit hard on an emotional level. While Jang can be seen crying when she first sees the virtual version of Nayeon, her other family members watch with sad expressions.

The Aju Business Daily reported that the project took about eight months to complete. Impressively, the virtual park was modeled after a real-world one that Jang and her daughter once visited. The thorough process of building this virtual world brings up the question: Is this too much?

This project serves as a stunning example of the power of virtual reality technology. At the same time, it opens up the pathway for other people to follow suit. And if there’s more of a demand for VR reunions with deceased friends and family members, that could bring about even more debates over its ethical and emotional impact.

Of course, Netflix enthusiasts already are aware of the extremes of trying to recreate a loved one who’s passed away. The popular show Black Mirror has an episode in which a woman tries to build a clone of her deceased partner. Eventually, she grows frustrated over the clone’s less-than-lifelike interactions.

While some people may disagree with the premise of a virtual reality reunion, Princeton neuroscientist Michael Graziano takes the opposite view.

“Since you know the person is gone, you accept the virtual equivalent for what it is — a comforting vestige.

There is nothing wrong or unethical about it,” he explained.

Wherever you fall in the debate over virtual reality and its uses, the video of Jang and her daughter will definitely elicit some strong emotions. And as we know, feelings are what make us human.
