Dogs and cats are often portrayed as natural enemies, but we all know that in many situations that is simply not the case. There are countless stories of cats and dogs getting along just fine, some are even best friends. The canine-feline bond is extremely strong among many of the animals, to the point where sometimes they’ll even adopt and care for each other’s babies!
When Regina, a woman who lives in Louisiana, was asked to take care of two cats for a friend who had joined the U.S. Navy, she was more than happy to welcome them into her home. Wanting them to be comfortable, she gave the kitties, Gail and Tara, their own space in her sewing room and they quickly settled in. While one of the cats, Tara, initially seemed to be a bit bloated to both Regina and her roommate, they soon dismissed any concerns they’d had and thought that maybe she was just a huskier cat.
All that changed when a few weeks later Regina woke to the sound of meowing. The cats were usually very quiet, so she went and checked on them. What she found was that Tara wasn’t fat, instead she’d been pregnant and had given birth to two tiny kittens! By the end of the day, her litter would grow to contain seven newborns and Tara was beyond happy with her new litter.
In addition to her feline guests, Tara and her roommate had two dogs living with them, Archer and Zooey. At first the dogs could have cared less about the new kittens, but over time that changed. Archer, a Dachshund mix, began to develop a very keen interest in them a short while after they were born. This worried Regina, she wasn’t sure why he was suddenly so honed in on them, so she decided to introduce them all properly. Under her watchful eye, she let Archer get close and sniff them out, and what he did showed her how harmless his interest was! All that he ended up doing was licking them all over and their cat mother seemed grateful for the new extra help.
Pretty soon Archer had assumed the father position to the kittens. He loved spending time with them and would pick them up by their scruffs. He’d bring them along with him everywhere he went. In fact, a couple of times he even brought them to Regina’s bed so they could all cuddle! Archer truly loved them all so much and turned out to be a great help because he’d clean and play with them and make sure they didn’t get into too much trouble.
As the kittens grew up and got bigger, caring for 9 cats and two dogs was becoming a lot of work. While Regina probably wanted to keep them all, she knew that she couldn’t. She wanted the best for them all and eventually found them new forever homes. While Archer undoubtedly missed them, life soon went back to normal. Regina will never forget the love and devotion he showed them, and it just goes to show that cats and dogs can come together to be a loving family.

6 Years Ago a Sheep Escaped and Grew 60lbs of Wool. They Were Stunned But Wait Til’ You See Him Now!
image via – youtube.com
There once was a Merino sheep named Shrek who lived on a farm in South Island, New Zealand. When he was four years old, he decided to strike out on his own and so he ran away from home. Escaping into the surrounding wilderness, he spent his time happily grazing and exploring the beautiful landscape. To avoid detection he hid in local caves where he knew he’d be safe.
Shrek’s time in the wild came to an end when he was eventually discovered in 2004. To say he had changed a bit would be an understatement. When he left, he had been well groomed with a short fleece coat. When he re-appeared, he was a giant poufy mass of wool. Upon seeing him for the first time after all those years his owner, John Perry, described the elusive sheep as looking like some ancient biblical creature!
While sheep normally get sheared once a year, Shrek hadn’t been sheared in 6 years. Because Merino sheep never shed their fleece like many other types of sheep typically do, it meant Shrek’s coat simply kept on growing. Over the years he was at large he produced a whole lot of wool, so much that it weighed 60 pounds. In fact, the amount of wool he had on him was enough to make 20 large men’s suits.
When he was finally sheared, Shrek looked like a shell of his former self, but in a healthy, good type of way. He could see a whole lot better once it was out of his eyes and he probably felt a lot cooler, not to mention lighter. At the time of his shearing, Shrek had already become a local celebrity in sheep-mad New Zealand. He ended up meeting the prime minister at the time, Helen Clarke, and the countries national television broadcast his amazing transformation for everyone to see. Being a sheep of the people, his fleece was auctioned off with the proceeds going to benefit children’s medical charities.
Shrek’s time in the limelight didn’t end there, he went on to appear in many children’s books and made guest appearances for various charities. Perhaps the highlight of his fame, and the craziest thing he ever experienced, came two years after his initial TV appearance when he was once again sheared on live TV. This time however, he got his haircut while on an iceberg that was floating off the coast of Dunedin, New Zealand!

THIS Little Baby Creature Will Not Stop Walking Behind This Cop. But The Reason Is Actually Unthinkably Beautiful!
image via – youtube.com
Australia is known for their incredibly unique and diverse wildlife, flora and fauna. There are so many species of animal that only exist in Australia which makes conservation of these diverse species one of Australia’s number 1 priorities. These are some of the animal species that are native only to Australia, the Dingo, Koala. Tasmanian Devil, Thorny Dragon, Sugar Glider, Wallaby, Wombat, Platypus and of course the most iconic Australian animal the Kangaroo.
Australia has very strict rules when it comes to protecting their wildlife and for good reason. There are also many laws which restrict bringing in outside species into Australia that could potentially wreak havoc and destroy the natural ecosystems which are currently living in perfect balance and harmony with nature.
In today’s story we will be featuring a baby kangaroo named Joey whose mother was killed tragically when she was hit by a car. This poor little guy was left alone and abandoned without anyway to survive in the wild. Luckily for Joey a kind person had come across the baby animal and brought it to the local police station. At the police station the kangaroo orphan case was taken over by Constable Scott Mason. Scott had only been working at the police station for 3 weeks and now he found himself in a little bit of strange situation with a baby kangaroo that he instantly fell in love with!
When the baby kangaroo was brought in he was in pretty bad shape. The little fur baby was terribly dehydrated, starving and completely malnourished. When Constable Mason and Joey made eye contact their instant connection was undeniable. The good constable decided he would take over full care of Joey the baby Kangaroo which was no small task and would take plenty of time, love and energy to make sure this kangaroo would survive. Scott would start hand feeding the baby every 3 hours and make sure he was safe, comfortable and cozy at all times.
As time passed Scott and Joey’s bond grew stronger and the baby kangaroo even began using Constable Scott Mason’s uniform as a pouch! Scott had literally become his mama and the baby kangaroo would follow Scott everywhere trailing only a foot or two behind him at all times when he wasn’t in Scott’s pouch….

They Take Home THIS Little Shelter Puppy. But They Soon Realize Something Completely Different!
image via – youtube.com
Anyone who wants to open their hearts and home to a dog should look at rescuing and adopting one from a shelter first. There are so many animals out there that need forever homes that you can always find one that fits your needs through rescue groups and shelters in your area. It’s the best route to go and that’s what Sue Markham did when she wanted a new puppy.
There was only one small problem, Sue’s husband Robert wasn’t really a dog person and was hesitant about having one, especially a big dog. Despite his apprehensions, Sue went to the local shelter anyways and ended up falling in love with a little one pound, 15 ounce puppy she adopted and named Yogi. When she brought the little guy home, she told Robert that he was a Jack Russell Terrier, which was fine by him so long as it wasn’t a large breed dog.
As Yogi grew it quickly became apparent that he was not a normal Jack Russell. As it turned out, he was in fact a Boston Great Dane, which is one of the largest dog breeds! Soon Yogi was much bigger than the average Jack Russel and he just seemed to keep on growing. Even though Robert had not wanted a big dog, he had already fallen in love with Yogi and didn’t care that his wife had misled him about their new family member.
By the time he was done growing Yogi tipped the scales at over 200 pounds, which is much larger than the average Great Dane that tend to weigh around 135 pounds. Because of his giant size, people in the village call him ‘Bear’, a nickname that’s more than fitting. He also stands at 6 foot 11 inches and eats an average of $213 worth of food each month. That includes the four scrambled eggs and sausages he gets for breakfast, while his snack options range from popcorn and yoghurt to bananas and milk.
The gentle giant definitely has all of his needs taken care of and the Markham’s have gone above and beyond to accommodate his massive size. They’ve given him his own special couch to rest on and had a custom horse coat specially made to keep him warm when it’s cold out. To ensure he stays healthy as can be they built a three-acre enclosed paddock area for him to exercise in and they shower him with love and attention.
Perhaps the sweetest thing about Yogi is that he’s best friends with an old female cat named Toffee who lives in the neighborhood. The Markham’s would let her inside in the winter to stay warm and while they initially worried he wouldn’t like her, Bear ended up absolutely loving his new feline friend. They snuggle on his couch, take naps together, they even groom each other with Yogi licking her ever so gently. According to Sue, Toffee regularly stops by just to visit him.
It seems like Yogi has it made. He truly is a gentle giant and is living the good life!

Their Pitbulls Were Barking Non-Stop At The Bushes. Then Granny Realizes Why Picks Up Her Grandkids and Sprints!
image via – youtube.com
Of all the dogs in the world, no breed has worse more of a bad rap than Pitbulls. The dog’s that were initially known as the “Nanny Dogs” because they were so good with young children and were the best family dogs in the United States way back in the early 1900’s. However, over the years these Nanny Dogs soon became notorious as the most ruthless, feared and scary attack dogs that could snap on anyone at any moment including their owners.
This stigma that has followed them like a dark cloud over the past few decades truly doesn’t reflect the nature of the breed. The problem is, many Pitbulls were trained by humans to fight and be aggressive since they were wee little pups. The dogs that were brainwashed early on have made negative headlines every year for snapping, attacking, hurting and in some cases even causing fatalities to other pets and people.
Like many stereotypes, a few bad seeds have set the precedence for the rest of the breed even though they are still wonderful dogs at heart and are only aggressive and mean if they are trained to be. People who own these dogs love them and try to spread the good word about them, however many people are set in their beliefs and changing people’s minds about Pitbulls has been near impossible to accomplish. There are even neighborhoods where laws have been passed banning the breed from living or even stepping foot on these properties. With all this being said today we will focus on the positive as we tell the tale of two Pitbulls who are actual heroes.
In this story we will be featuring two Pitbulls named Paco and Slayer. These dogs have lived with their family since they were puppies and were brought up with love and compassion and turned out to be wonderful dogs. They are members of the Butt family who have young children and never once have they snapped or been aggressive to any of the kids. However they have been amazing, extraordinary loving companions to the whole family.
One afternoon grandma and her grandchildren were outside on the lawn playing, when Paco and Slayer ears perked up and their noses lifted as they sensed that there was some sort of danger lurking nearby. They began to bark uncontrollably at the bushes as grandma tried to reign them in, they just wouldn’t let up! That’s when grandma saw what the two dogs were barking at, she grabbed her grandchildren and ran for the hills…

Dog’s personalities are as varied as those of human beings. Certain characteristics are innate to particular breeds, just as human beings are born with certain predispositions. It’s the old nature-nurture combination that makes for the complexity of our dog’s behaviors.
