These Pups Will Always Be Loyal to Their Beloved Toys

The dogs I’ve had throughout the years all had that one toy they loved more than anything else in the world. Quincy had his hamburger, Bailey had a rat, and Bianca just couldn’t get enough of her tennis ball.

If you have a pup, you know exactly what I’m talking about.

Here are some doggos that are eternally loyal to their toys.

I think these pics are gonna make you say “awwwwwww.”

1. Awwwwww (I told you).

Almost 18 years old and still sleeping with the toy frog she’s had for 14 years from aww

2. BFF.

How I found him moments after I changed the batteries in his Snuggle Buddy, a toy with a little heartbeat he’s had since he was 3 months old. from aww

3. Don’t hurt the pig.

Morty’s first squeak toy. It’s a pig. He thinks we hurt it when squeezing it, so he’s been protecting it for the last 45 mins. from aww

4. Adorable.

All these years later and it’s still her favourite toy from aww

5. Can you save it?

Operating on my dogs favourite toy. He looks very concerned. from aww

6. Come on, Grandma!

My 7yr old girl that I rescued 4 years ago waiting ever so patiently for my 79yr old Grandma to fix one of her favorite toys. <3 from aww

7. Constant companion.

Winston turns 1 today. He still sleeps with the same toy. from aww

8. This is mine now.

Today was the first day he’s ever picked out his toy at the pet store. He carried it to the car, into the house, and right into his crate at bedtime. My heart ☺ from aww

9. A real sweetheart.

First toy to 1 year old. Just the sweetest dog still! from FromPuppyToDog

12. All kinds of toys!

My grandma’s dog and her toys, she has never torn apart one and my grandma washes them for her! from aww

13. His baby.

The first toy he picked out on our way home from the shelter. He’s never rough with his baby, only carries it with him from room to room and lays on or cuddles it. from aww

14. Favorite toy.

15. Took seven years to find this one.

After 7 years of buying her stuffed toys that she completely destroys within a couple days, I finally found her one that she absolutely loves. She’s had her dragon for few months now and cuddles it every chance she gets. from aww

Do you have any cute pics of your pooch with their toys?

This Husky Was Abandoned Because of Her “Weird” Eyes – Now She’s a Big Hit Online

How could a person get rid of a pooch that is clearly a one-in-a-million beauty? Yes, this pup named Jubilee does have some crazy eyes, but that’s what makes her special, right?

A shelter in New Jersey called Husky House shared a sad Facebook post about Jubilee’s story. The post said:

“My name is Jubilee. I’m a 4 year old female husky who has been with Husky House for a long time. I came from a “breeder” who couldn’t sell me because he said I was “weird” looking. Huskies are majestic looking dogs and I don’t know why I don’t look like them.

I wish I was beautiful so someone would want me to be their dog.

I like other dogs, but I don’t like cats. I love people, but I’m a little shy because people mostly laugh at the way I look.

Doesn’t anyone want a funny looking husky? I wish I had a family of my own who could love me even though I’m not pretty.”

My name is Jubilee. I’m a 4 year old female husky who has been with Husky House for a long time. I came from a “breeder”…

Posted by Husky House on Tuesday, January 14, 2020

As you can imagine, such an unusual-looking dog caught the attention of all kinds of folks on social media, and Jubilee became an overnight sensation. The post was shared more than 5,000 times, as word quickly spread about this unique Husky looking for a permanent home.

And then, the news came: Jubilee had found her forever home! Here’s a Facebook post with the great news:

UPDATE – Thanks to everyone who shared Jubilee’s story. She has found her forever home with previous Husky House…

Posted by Husky House on Tuesday, January 14, 2020

This story just warms my heart. I’m glad that Jubilee will be in a loving home for the rest of her days!

Good News: Owning a Cat Is Good for Your Health

This is great news for anyone who’s ever been pegged as a “crazy cat lady”: being a cat lady is actually good for your health. Science says so.

Owning a cat can help reduce stress, and it’s good for your heart, too.

One study in the Journal of Vascular and Interventional Neurology found that cat ownership can be beneficial to heart health in multiple ways. Cat owners in the study showed a lower risk of death by heart attack and all cardiovascular diseases, including stroke.

Also, petting your cat is a known stress reliever. Cuddling with your cat releases oxytocin, the “cuddle chemical,” which in turn reduces stress, according to NBC News.

Another study found that cat lovers are more open-minded, smarter and more sensitive than dog lovers.

So why the assumption that cats aren’t good for your health?

Well, there’s an age-old myth holds that cats can literally drive you crazy. This stems, in part, from the fact that cat feces can sometimes contain Toxoplasma gondii, a parasite that can cause toxoplasmosis. It’s an infection that actually can lead to psychosis (contaminated water and undercooked meat can also cause toxoplasmosis).

Not all cats carry the parasite though, and even if you get infected, you’ll likely be fine. A recent study in Psychological Medicine found no relationship between cat ownership and psychosis later in life.

“The Centers for Disease Control estimates that more than 60 million people in the United States may be infected with the Toxoplasma parasite through all means, including cats,” David Haworth, doctor of veterinary medicine, Ph.D., and president of PetSmart Charities told NBC News. “But very few people show symptoms because a healthy person’s immune system usually keeps the parasite from causing illness.”

So there you have it, cat people. Cats don’t drive you crazy; on the contrary, they’re good for you.

A French writer had a pet lobster…

A French writer had a pet lobster he would take for walks in Paris. He used a blue silk ribbon as a leash. He called them “peaceful, serious creatures” and that they didn’t “bark” or “gnaw upon one’s monadic privacy” like dogs did.

This Website Warns You About Movies With Sad Dog Plots

This will come in handy for me. My mom doesn’t care if hundreds of men, women, and children get maimed or killed in a movie, but if a dog dies (or even gets lost or inconvenienced for a little while), everyone in the room is going to hear about it.

Let’s just say that watching Old Yeller as a kid wasn’t the most fun thing I’ve ever done in my life.

A post shared by Mike D. (@douceyd) on

Do you know people like this? Well, if you do, you should probably let them know about DoesTheDogDie.com. The website is dedicated to “crowdsourced emotional spoilers for movies, tv, books and more.” The site contains “warnings” about more than 4,000 films and over 800 TV series where animals are harmed and killed.

The site also tracks other potentially upsetting categories such as “Drownings,” “Eating Disorders,” and even “There Are Spiders.”

For example, if you search for John Wick on the website, you’d get the straight dope about the dog dying in the film: “Yes, and it’s terrible, BUT John Wick spends the rest of the movie deliberately, gloriously, and violently avenging the dog, so it feels really pro-dog overall.” So you’ll also get some positive reinforcement as well if you need a little encouragement to watch a particular movie.

So next time you’re about to watch a movie with your family or friends, hop on over to DoesTheDogDie.com, type in the movie or movies you’re thinking about watching, and see if any animals are going to bite the dust and potentially ruin your evening.

I’m so thankful for the Internet sometimes.

Sometimes.
