Video: The Fastest Tortoise Ever Chases A Pit Bull. The Dog’s Reaction Is Hysterical!
Over the years we have seen a wide variety of odd animal couples. From cheetahs and lions hanging out with dogs to donkeys and goats becoming inseparable. Meet the latest pair, an American pit bull terrier named Dolly and a sulfate tortoise by the name of Sheldon. The two have fast become best friends ever since they were rescued from the Humane Society of North Texas (www.hsnt.org/) by their awesome human friend.
The six year old turtle and three year old dog love to play and romp around together in the grassy yard. Dolly can be seen in the video barking as Sheldon speeds towards him. Dolly crouches low and smiles at her friend before side stepping out of his way. Little Sheldon is relentless and continues to hone in and bear down on Dolly but cannot quite seem to catch her. It looks like they could go back and forth for hours toying around and larking about. In fact, according to their owner, oftentimes Dolly will try to get her turtle pal to play with her favorite ball but Sheldon has yet to show any interest in doing so.
The pair are further proof that rescue animals often thrive and go on to fulfill long happy lives. They clearly have looked past their differences and accept each other regardless of species. And can you believe how fast Sheldon is?? He must be on TGH- turtle growth hormone!

Woman Steps Onto The Floor With An Incredible Routine. But Her Dog Totally Steals The Show.
This dancing team you are about to watch is absolutely amazing. Canine choreography is a budding new form of dance and their is actually an association called the MDSA (Musical Dog Sport Association). They focus on enhanced artistry of music and choreography which builds a strong human/canine bond through positive training methods.
When you combine, music, teamwork, training, and movement you get a form of art that is incredibly entertaining. While entertaining is one facet of this new sport, the MDSA main focus is building the strongest possible bond between the dog and their human. In the video below Emily and Henrietta are about to show you what canine freestyle dance is all about. Both of them are fantastic but the little pup totally steals the show! Enjoy 🙂

This Dog Sees A Squirrel While He Is In The Car. His Reaction I Can’t Stop Laughing!
Rocco is a Springer Spaniel who was caught on video literally losing it at the sight of a squirrel. His owner, Meaghan Griffin, seemed to know that he is quite passionate in his squirrel interest. This pup goes absolutely crazy! His barking transforms as his adrenaline surges.
Watching a squirrel through the window of the car he is riding in, his barking turns into a howling, high-pitched squealing. One has to wonder what is going through his head. Is he scared, excited, picking up some cues from the squirrels that we humans aren’t privy to?!
Or maybe it’s just his instinct. Whatever it is, this video captures a moment in a dog’s life that really brings a moment of canine excitement and hilarity that can’t be beat. Meet Rocco!

Her Dog Started Acting Strange Then Days Later Died. The Reason Is This Everyday Household Item!
This video is so important for every dog owner to watch. Many people know about the dangers of ingesting chocolate and other more common foods. The dog in this video got into a pack of Sugar free gum. His behavior was becoming erratic. Her owners found the empty pack of gum and rushed her to the vet.
The gum and many other sugar free foods contain the sugar substitute, Xylitol. This substance is extremely toxic to dogs. It lowers their blood sugar level rapidly, and if vomiting isn’t induced, this dog and many others would have died quickly of insulin shock hypoglycemia. If that didn’t kill her, she would have died of liver damage caused by this toxin within 24-48 hours.
Pass on this video, as Xylitol needs to be checked on many foods you may be ingesting, and so few people know about this. Even a small amount spilled from yogurt and lapped up by your dog could be deathly. So care needs to be taken to be sure dogs never ingest this toxin, because the disastrous repercussions occur so rapidly.

This Dog Thinks The Terrace Door Is Closed and Won’t Come In. Just Wait For The Ending!
Have you ever thought a door was open and walked right into it because it was actually closed? It can hurt really bad and make you feel not so bright. The dogs in this video have likely walked into a door at some point in their lives. That is why they refuse to trust any doorway that seems to appear open, yet they haven’t heard any sounds indicating such when their human goes to let them in/out.
The adorable dogs wait excitedly with their tails wagging to be let through. Despite the fact that there are no screens or glass in the frames they still wait until their people friends open the door for them to go either in or out.
The video brings to mind Pavlov’s dogs. Long story short, Ivan Pavlov discovered that some things are learned by conditioning. We learn behaviors when we associate certain things with a particular stimulus after it has been presented and repeated to us. Thus, our reaction to something can be acquired through our experiences with it.
Which brings me back to this video. The dogs in it have likely been conditioned to wait for their owners to go though the motions of opening the door before they cross the threshold. They have learned to wait until the door is opened to make a move after repeatedly being made to so when they were young.
The sounds and sight of someone reaching for the handle and pushing it have been burned into their minds as a signal for open. It is classical conditioning and classic behavior patterns. Here it makes for some really cute moments and only our furry friends can get away with such seemingly clueless behavior. Turns out, it might not be so clueless after all.

Guy Claims He’s Filming The Homeless & Their Pets. But What He Is Actually Doing Stuns Everybody!
When Tom Mabe of Prank It FWD decided to make a documentary on the homeless and their pets he came across a heartbreaking story of a man and his dog. Tom started off by contacting Beth Green who runs a local non-profit called My Dog Eats First in Louisville, Kentucky. The charities mission is to provide food, supplies, and medical care to the under served, homeless people, and their pets. After spending some time with the volunteers and homeless Tom decided he wanted to do more than just observe and film.
When he learned that a man who had been living out of his truck had surrendered his dog of 12 years because he needed to go to the hospital, Tom teamed up with Beth to help. The man, Ricky, was told by doctors he had less than 6 months to live.
Against their wishes he left the hospital to be with Buddy again, whom Beth had with her to ensure the two would not be separated for long. Ricky and Buddy were each others best friend and loyal companions for the past 12 years, which was Buddy’s whole life. When times were rough Ricky would make sure Buddy was fed even if it meant going without food himself.
After he checked out of the hospital Beth put Ricky up in a pet friendly hotel for as long as she could afford. When the funds to do so ran out Tom decided to get them their own apartment and made sure it was comfortable and furnished with all the essentials.
He took Ricky to see the place and surprised him by revealing that it was all for him and Buddy. The happiness and gratitude from the news lit up Ricky’s face and Buddy wasted no time in checking out the bed. After years of living in a truck the two now had a large warm place to call their own.
Wanting to do even more, Tom and Prank It FWD ended up giving Beth and My Dog Eats First a years supply of dog food from Halo, plenty of leashes, and a top dog award of recognition for all their work. Tom also came away from the whole experience with a completely new understanding of the homeless and their animals.
The pets give those who are less fortunate a sense of responsibility, unconditional love, friendship, and a purpose in life. Everyone deserves those things and the story of Ricky and Buddy shows just how much their lives were further enriched through their friendship. The love and devotion they share for each other is clear, especially when Buddy looks up and nestles his head into his owner’s side.
