There is nothing in this world that will unconditionally love you more than a dog. Canine and Humankind has bonded into a mutual symbiotic relationship that has been evolving for thousands of years. The bond between these amazing species of animal and their humans is simply remarkable. Dogs have learned how to help people in almost everyway you could ever imagine. From service dogs, police dogs, sled dogs to family dogs their adaptation, loyalty, intelligence and devoted love to their pack/family are unmatched. This brings us to today’s featured canine tale.
Midnight a Beautiful Lab Mix followed her human Tim Cufman outside to git rid of the trash. Almost immediately her spidey senses began to tingle and she knew something wasn’t right! Before this day Midnight had not been much for security as a watch dog so Tim thought something really must’ve spooked Midnight and that there was something or someone out there who couldbe a potential threat to himand his family.
That night it just so happened to be during one of the ‘polar vortexes’ in Minnesota that year. The temperatures had dropped below 0 and being outside for a prolonged period of time could put you in grave danger. In fact, it was so cold in Minnesota that week that all public schools, public transportation, air travel. offices and even the postal office were closed until the dangerous freeze passed!
Tim had watched a report earlier that the freeze has already been fatal to 20 people. So his plan was just to get the trash to the bins and run back into his warm and cozy home. The problem was Midnight was going wild and was trying to get her human to follow him so he could see what it was. Eventually after Midnight wouldn’t give up, Tim decided to follow her outside to see if something was really lurking.
Little did Tim know, there wasn’t a threat out there, but he was actually going to save a person’s life!

Weird Dog Shows Up On The Trail As This Couple Hikes! Then They Notice The Words Written On His Collar!
image via – youtube.com
One of the things that dogs love most in the world is going for a walk. They like being outdoors with their human companions and the change of scenery it provides. They also usually need to burn off some energy and a brisk walk to the local park or around the block is the perfect way to tire them out. Plus, many dogs are not allowed to roam freely, so they look forward to their daily walks and get upset if they miss one.
For one dog living near Teneriffe Falls in Washington state, he gets the best of both worlds, and then some. The big black dog is named Smokey and he is allowed outside to roam as he pleases. Since he lives so close to the popular hiking spot, he often heads over to the trail head to wait for people to come along and then joins them on their hike. He basically takes himself for walks whenever he wants, and he does it so often that his owners made a special tag for him!
Recently a young couple went for a hike and spotted Smokey gingerly coming towards him as they set off. The friendly animal walked right up to them and then alongside as they started down the trail. After going a couple hundred yards they realized Smokey was tagging along which was fine by them. In fact, the unexpected guest was delightful and very well mannered. He stopped whenever they did and waited patiently as they snapped pictures, he clearly knew the drill.
Once they reached the falls the couple started to worry that maybe the big black dog was lost, and they didn’t want to just leave him in the wilderness after their hike. Seeing that he had tags on, the man, Scott Brown, reached down to check them.
One side of the faded blue bone shaped tag said “Hi, I’m Smokey. I live nearby so please don’t take me. I like to follow hikers sometimes.” The flip side read “Don’t worry, I’ll go home when I get tired. My people love me a lot. Thanks for being nice!”
Upon reading Smokey’s tag the couple laughed with relief. The sweet dog was simply out on one of his walks and they needn’t worry about him because his loving family was waiting for him to come home when he was ready.
With Smokey leading the way they returned to the parking lot near where they first saw him. He waited patiently as they changed out of their hiking gear and prepared to go home before barking once, turning, and heading back to his home.
The couple was thankful that Smokey had joined them and felt he’d made their hike all the more memorable. It seems the fluffy black dog made a lasting impression on them and that’s just one reason why dogs are so awesome.

Boy Was In The Water By Himself! Then THESE Creatures Approach and Creep Up Behind Him!
image via – youtube,.com
It has long been said that Earth’s final frontier is the vast oceans that cover a majority of the planet’s surface. An estimated 95% of the oceans have yet to be explored and it seems that every time a deep sea probe is sent to the depths, new species are discovered. From gigantic bus size whales to microscopic transparent shrimps and all the fish in-between, there’s a whole other world under the seas!
The ocean is certainly filled with creatures of every sort and size, but the one thing universally feared above all else is far and away sharks. The stealthy apex predators are more than capable of inflicting great bodily harm or even death, and when you step into the ocean, you’re in their house. Even though shark attacks on humans are rare, every year dozens of people get bit. For one little boy swimming in the Bahamas, he could have easily been among them. However, a guardian angel of sorts stepped in and brought the boy to safety before any harm could come to him.
Artem Tkachenko had been flying his drone over a beach in the Bahamas on a sunny December day when he spotted the young boy swimming in shallow water below. The idyllic scene was interrupted when a school of four sharks approached the child and appeared to be headed straight towards him. Seemingly unaware that he had company, Artem yelled to the boy telling him to run and get out of the water, which he quickly did. Once the boy had both feet safely planted on the warm sandy shore, the sharks simply turned around and swam off.
If Artem had not warned the child, who knows what would have happened and it just goes to show how incredibly close encounters between sharks and swimmers often are. Even when you’re in crystal clear shallow water, just feet from the shore, there could be a shark nearby that you fail to see. Being extremely agile and fast swimmers, they can easily close in on a person before they even have time to react.
Other people who have found themselves in similar situations to what the young boy was in have not been so lucky. Thankfully, there are several ways to help prevent and limit your risk of ever getting bit by a shark. They include not swimming at prime feeding times, dusk and dawn, not wearing metallic jewelry that is believed to resemble fish scales, and to avoid going in the water if you have an open cut or wound. For more information on shark attacks and what scientists believe may incite a shark to bite, please refer to the video. It’s always good to arm yourself with knowledge and the points that it covers are quite interesting.

It Seemed Like Just a Normal Car Ride Until The Radio Began Playing This Song

Singing in the car is by far one of the best places to belt out a tune. The sound is contained, the acoustics aren’t that bad, and it helps to pass the time. The only thing better than singing your favorite song in the car is singing it alongside your best friend in the whole entire world in your car!
For one girl, that means taking her adorable dog named Honey along for a ride. The sweet black and white spotted pup seems to know what he’s in for because he doesn’t hesitate to jump right into the passenger seat. It’s as if he’s been waiting in eager anticipation for this moment to finally come.
As the pair cruise down the street the girl looks over and gives her dog a sweet smile because she knows what’s coming up next! Seconds later Michael Jackson’s hit song Will You Be There comes over the speakers and when Honey hears the opening chords her face lights up. The song, which was famously featured in the Free Willy movie soundtrack, is her absolute favorite and the dog goes wild whenever it’s played.
When you hear her sing, you may think she’s kind of off key at first, but she’s just warming up her vocals and getting started. After a few moments Honey begins to find her voice and before you know it she’s howling along in sweet, harmonic unison to the beat.
Her voice is one that only a mother could love, and that’s what makes it even more special. When you look over at Honey’s owner, it’s clear that she loves it when her dog sings. He’s by her side, happy, and just spending one on one time and being there with him makes her happy too!
Check it out, pass it along to all your animal lover friends and family, enjoy!

This Is The Super Strange and Unexpected Reason Mosquitoes Bite Some Humans A Lot More Than Others!
image via – shutterstock.com
Mosquitoes are nasty, highly irritating insects whose presence can easily ruin an otherwise perfect time. The way they buzz and swarm all around, waiting to land on someones warm skin to bite, is enough to drive anyone insane. The worst part about the pesky blood suckers is that they carry a number of diseases, which they can transmit straight into your body and bloodstream when they bite into you. Every year almost 700 million people worldwide end up contracting a mosquito borne illness, resulting in over a million deaths, and that number just keeps growing. This scary fact is what makes them the number one killer of humans.
Right now there there is currently an ongoing public health crisis surrounding the Zika Virus, which is being spread by mosquitoes and causing all sorts of health issues. It’s only the latest international health threat emerging that’s related directly to mosquito bites, and it’s in good company.
Throughout history there’s been many diseases spread mainly or exclusively by mosquitoes, including malaria, dengue, encephalitis, West Nile virus, and more. While it’s best to avoid the flying terrors all together, that’s basically impossible. People use all sorts of stuff to combat the pests but nothing is 100% effective against them, if they want to bite you, they will or die trying.
One way you can lessen the amount of bites is by knowing what attracts the skeeters in the first place. Basically, it depends on how you smell and since mosquitoes have excellent scent receptors in their antennae, they can easily smell any human within 100 feet. Unfortunately, it also comes down to genetics and 85% of the reason why mosquitoes prefer some people over others is because of their genetic makeup. Below are some of the factors that make someone a mosquito bite target:
1) Lactic acid production- People who produce more lactic acid, which is emitted from our bodies via the sweat glands, are more attractive to mosquitoes. The more perspiration and the older it is, the greater the buildup of lactic acid, meaning your a tasty meal. Research has proven that fresh sweat isn’t as attractive to a mosquito as day old sweat appears to be.
2) Bacteria- Bacteria living on the skin can vary greatly from person to person and affect how much they get bit by mosquitoes. If someone has bacteria types like Staphylococcus and Variovorax present on their skin, they will have more mosquito problems. The opposite is also true, and other types of bacteria act to make our skin less attractive to the pests. Some of these include Pseudomonas, Delftia, Leptotrichia, and Actinobacteria.
3) Blood type- What type of blood you have also factors into the risk of suffering more bites. Studies have found that mosquitoes are most drawn to those with type O blood, followed by type B and then type A. Also, if you’re among the estimated 85% of people who emit a certain chemical that gives away your blood type through the skin, the mosquitoes will bite you long before they bite those who lack the chemical. Apparently, the insects like to know exactly what type of blood they’ll be sucking.
4) Carbon Dioxide- Mosquitoes are attracted to the CO2 you exhale when breathing. Those who produce more of it get bit more, which sucks for pregnant women and heavy-set people who breathe heavier. Also, a related point is that beer drinkers tend to get bit more frequently because they too breathe more heavily when under the influence of a few beers.

She Gives Her Parakeet An Egg From The Supermarket To Play With. But Days Later She Gets The Biggest Surprise Ever!
image via – youtube.com
No one ever really stops to think about the carton of eggs they buy at the grocery store. All most people care about is how fresh they are that they aren’t broken. When YouTube user Luna Angel went to the supermarket and spotted some quail eggs for sale, they initially grabbed her attention because they made her think of her pet parakeet at home, Pi-chan.
She ended up buying the quail eggs and when she returned home, she gave one of the speckled eggs to her little yellow and blue bird to see what it would do and how she’d react.
As soon as the egg was placed inside her cage, Pi-chan sat on it as if she had laid it herself. Her maternal instincts were strong, and Luna was happy to see her little bird so interested in the egg. Not long afterwards, she went to check on Pi-chan and was shocked at what she saw inside her cage. The egg had hatched, and a tiny, fluffy, unbelievably cute baby quail was sitting next to her songbird!
Naturally Luna was not expecting this, she had assumed the quail egg had been unfertilized, as most grocery store eggs are. The chances that she somehow picked up a carton that contained a fertilized one were extremely slim and yet there was a baby bird right in front of her.
It must have been fate because Luna was an experienced bird owner and lover, she knew that she’d be able to care for Pi-chan’s new friend, even if she had never raised a baby bird before!
As it turns out, baby quails don’t require very much work. Right after they’re born, they can eat pretty much anything and so feeding the little chick wasn’t an issue. In just a few days the bird was noticeably growing and getting stronger, much to the relief of Luna. Now instead of one she has two adorable little birds in her family!
