What a heartwarming picture! That is unconditional love. I hope both of them find a home, if that is what they want.

I lost my precious Daisy today. She was a rat terrier/chihuahua mix. Damn, it hurts. I am so tired of hurting.

Lando, just saw this.  God bless.  I've got five babies, two are 15 and 16 and on their way to the Rainbow Bridge.

There is a unique pain when a loved dog or cat dies.  Those creatures are completely loyal, completely devoted, completely in love with us. Unconditional.  That's why we cry so much when we lose them.

No human being can absorb the tears a dog can.  No human being can wag her tail every single time she sees you.  And who trusts like the dog, who just assumes you're always going to give her the best of yourself:  your time, your food, your heart?

Your little one is waiting for you, patiently, just as she's waited for you so many times before.

You just can't see her.

Thank you sink... I sobbed unashamedly when she passed.

WATCH: Pug Picks Fight With K9, SWAT Team During Standoff

This is most important video you’ll watch all day. A pug took on a SWAT team that was trying to negotiate with an armed suspect who barricaded himself in his Phoenix home.



In the middle of the four-hour standoff, the pug broke through the police barrier and started a fight with a K9 dog.

I'm surprised the cops didn't shoot the little dog. Why did they keep following it? Didn't they have a job to do, without allowing a tiny dog get in their way?  :silly:

Sinky's right.  She's up there waiting for you.  This is one of my favorite cartoons--thought you might like it too...

Love the cats. They don't seem to mind. They like to cuddle, at least, mine do.

I hope they were adopted together, too.

Happy, that dolphin vid is amazing. He or she knew the divers would help. You can tell.

Sick dog left at California animal shelter to be reunited with his elderly owners
Published March 14, 2014
FoxNews.com

 

    Leave No Paws Behind, Inc. posted a photo of 13-year-old "Otto" on the rescue group's Facebook page.

A 13-year-old Dachshund will be reunited with his owners after the elderly couple left him tied up outside a California animal shelter, with a heartbreaking note attached saying they were too sick and poor to cover the dog's medical expenses.

The dog, named Otto, was found outside of the Baldwin Park Animal Shelter near Los Angeles with a hand-written note asking that he be put to sleep because his owners could not afford to care for him, Yahoo News reported.

The note reads, "Our dog is 13 1/2 years old he is sick starting yesterday with bloody stools, vomiting," according to the website. "Had a skin disease for a few years. We are both seniors, sick with no money. We cannot pay for vet bills, or to put him to sleep. He has never been away from us in all those years, he cannot function without us, please put him to sleep."

Workers at the shelter reportedly notified Leave No Paws Behind, Inc., a foster-based rescue operation that specializes in seniors. Yahoo News reported that when Otto was later examined by a veterinarian, it was determined that his condition could be treated and that he likely had more years in which to live.

The rescue group reached out to the dog's owners -- after it was clear the Dachshund had been well taken care of -- to reunite the pooch with the couple.
