Soon after Tate moved in with her new family, the next door neighbor also adopted a puppy, named Vernon. The tall backyard fence did nothing to stop Tate and Vernon from falling in puppy love. Hailee would often come outside and catch the two digging a tunnel to each other. “We couldn’t get them to stop. We couldn’t keep them apart. They would just keep digging holes to each other,” Hailee told The Dodo. Given the undeniable connection, the neighbors knew they had to do something. So they made a custom doggie door in the fence!

The family constructed a custom-built doggie-door in the fence, allowing Tate and Vernon to visit each other whenever they’d like. As you can imagine, since the doggie-door has been built, Tate and Vernon have been inseparable. “They love being together! I don’t know if they are actually in love, but I like to think so,” Hailee shared with The Dodo.

It might not be feasible for everyone to have a doggie-door connected with their neighbor, but Hailee hopes Tate and Vernon’s sweet story helps other dog lovers create a more welcoming environment in their yard. “I hope that it encourages people to be more friendly with their neighbors, and encourage a sense of community. It has worked out well for us so far,” Hailee told The Dodo.

Knowing that there are kind-hearted people that accommodate their dogs restores our faith in humanity. If Tate and Vernon’s guardians’ gesture of building a doggie door brings a smile to your face, share this article with the dog lovers in your life!

Yogi, the family’s Maltese-Yorkshire terrier-Shih Tzu mix, has always had a strong bond with his sisters Pamela and Olivia Defresne.

“We adore him and, even if he is not a human, we consider him a full member of our family,” Pamela Dufresne told The Dodo. “He is our little prince, our little treasure.”

He’s such a valuable part of the family, everyone nearly forgets Yogi isn’t human.

“He’s very intelligent, and he understands a lot of words that many dogs wouldn’t,” Dufresne said. “Talking to him is like talking to a human.”

Yogi and his sisters play games together and support each other.

“When we cry, he tries to make us laugh by licking our tears,” Dufresne added. “When we have an argument, he puts himself between us.”

While Yogi has some limitations as a dog, his sisters make sure he feels like one of the humans.

“Since we were young, my sister and I love to imagine different scenarios in which our dog acts like a human: going to school, playing soccer, crossing the border illegally, playing video games, getting arrested,” Dufresne said. “In our imagination, he did all those things!”

This year, Olivia decided to give Yogi the ultimate dream come true–graduation!

“As a surprise, my sister Olivia decided to secretly make a graduation picture,” Dufresne added. “Then, while nobody was at home, she replaced an old baby picture that was hanging between me and my sister’s graduation pictures with our dog’s graduation picture.”

Crafting the perfect image took some hard work with Photoshop, but it paid off! The picture seemed so accurate, Olivia’s family didn’t realize the image on the mantel for a little while.

“When we did, we laughed for a good 10 minutes, then we cried a little out of proudness,” Dufresne said. “To this day, Yogi’s graduation picture is the main attraction of the living room.”

What’s even better? The family has decided to keep Yogi’s picture front and center in the living room.

Thankfully, the whole family is in agreement that Yogi’s picture deserves a place of honor. “It will probably stand there ‘til our death,” Dufresne added. “We love him so much!”

On March 31st, Yogi will be turning 13. Stay tuned to see what’s to come for the next big milestone–becoming a teenager!

“We were contacted about the five puppies in distress on a private property 45 minutes west of Edmonton. All five puppies [were] severely emaciated and dehydrated,” Tessa Lee told The Dodo.

Lee quickly made her way over and was granted access to the property near the Alberta Beach. She was only authorized to gather the five puppies, despite there being other animals seen on the property.

The five puppies were frozen, and very close to death in the cold. Lee drove the puppies to her home, but could not be certain they would survive.

Lee was quick on her feet, thinking carefully of all she could do to help the poor dogs.

“I assessed their hydration levels, and put them on heat packs while administering fluids subcutaneously,” Lee said. “We relied on maple syrup to boost glucose levels and slowly began administering recovery wet dog food every two hours via feeding syringes.”

Through her holiday, Lee brought the litter of puppies back to health as best she could. Fortunately, Lee’s family understood her caring for the dogs. They have come to expect spur of the moment rescues after seeing Lee and her friends help animals in need at the volunteer-run rescue.

“Our families have come to expect some special animal guests joining us for Christmas dinner, whether it is a litter of kittens, puppies or even a ‘bottle baby’ lamb,” Lee explained. “We find that this time of year many people are traveling to be with family and therefore more animals in distress are noticed and reported. Our phones are definitely never off during the Christmas season.”

As Christmas Eve came about, the bottle-feeding and warmth seemed to do justice for all of the puppies – except one. While her brothers and sisters were recovering, this little puppy was struggling to even hold herself up.

Because of her red fur, Lee called the puppy Ruby. For Ruby, the next day could be the difference between life and death.

She is holding on and beginning to perk up,” Lee posted on WHARF’s Facebook page December 24. “Keep her in your thoughts and we will update everyone on her after the holidays.”

With great luck, Christmas brought a miracle. Ruby made it through the night and was finally on her feet.

“Merry Christmas everyone!! We have movement,” Lee wrote on Facebook. “This puppy didn’t have the strength to lift her body up yesterday. She is drinking water and eating on her own now.”

Support came from all corners of the web after Lee’s post. People even offered to take Ruby in!

. “At this point, Ruby’s condition is touch and go, and she is under 24/7 monitoring with us,” Lee explained. “The other four seem to be holding fast, we will be keeping everyone updated on Ruby’s condition as time goes on.”

While helping these puppies has been no simple task, Lee is more than happy to do it.

“Special cases such as these just require a huge dedication of time and effort, whether that’s waking up every two hours to feed them or monitoring alertness throughout the night,” Lee added. “Every animal deserves to be cared for and over the last decade we have done everything in our power to provide that to every animal that comes through our rescue.”

If progress continues as it has, Ruby’s siblings should be ready for adoption by some time in February!

For those interested in adopting a pet, Lee has some careful words of advice.“We urge people that are considering bringing an animal into their families to ensure that they are able to afford to spay/neuter their animal so situations like this no longer happen.”

One member of the family was starting to feel left out.

“My son Zac, who doesn’t have any kids, said to us, ‘Aww, where’s my son’s car bed?” Donna told The Dodo. Zac was referring to none other than his 3-year-old Chihuahua-Pomeranian mix, Butch Cassidy.

And so, the grandparents decided it was time to get the dog a race car bed of his own! However, his turned out a little different from the rest…

Created and painted by grandpa, the wooden bed is made just for Butch. His name is even painted across the side! It has four tiny wheels (with carefully painted logos!) and a comfortable area full of pillows and blankets.

“He works six days a week, but every spare moment he had leading up to the holiday he’d been working on it,” Donna said.

“He was devastated two days before Christmas because Zac took my dog downstairs and nearly busted the surprise when he was working on it in the workshop. But the look on Zac’s face the day he opened it showed he clearly hadn’t seen it.”

The bed took nearly a month to create. As expected, the granddog was a big fan of the bed!

“Butch was quite excited when he opened his bed and got straight in it,” Donna said. “He lies in it now at night while his dad watches TV, but when it’s sleep time he gets into the big bed with his dad.”

Because Butch is an only dog, he gets to hangout with his grandparents and their three dogs while his dad is working. To no surprise, this has led to a beautiful bond!

“My husband has a shop, so Butch goes to work with his pop every day,” Donna said. “He eagerly sits at the front window waiting for his dad to come by at 5 p.m. As soon as his dad picks up the keys, he will come and say bye-bye to nan and pop and gives us a cuddle.”

Butch knows just how spoiled of a grandkid he is!

“He loves his toys and loves the box of toys at his nanny’s,” Donna added. “Luckily I have taught his Aunty Neecy, our schnauzer, to clean the toys up after he’s gone as he manages to get every single one out and leaves them all around the house. He is our grandson and is treated as such.”

While Hurricane Irma was fast approaching, Jessica Lewis wanted to evacuate her college town with her dog Luna. 

The pair would head to Atlanta, where Lewis’s family resides. Unfortunately, before they could leave, Lewis needed to attend one more class. 

To avoid wasting time, Lewis thought she would try to bring Luna to her final class. This would allow her to leave right after! There was just one thing she had to do first…

Ask her professor.

Lewis was uncertain how her professor would react. To explain well, Lewis wrote an in-depth email.

She even included images of Luna to sway him! 

Lewis waited nervously to hear back from her professor, when finally…he answered.

Lewis was taken aback that it was no issue at all. 

“Did you think calling me ‘cool’ would get me to say yes,” Lewis’ professor wrote. “Because it won’t work. What will work is that she’s obviously a good girl so of course you can bring her.” 

Lewis’s professor turned out to be a dog lover (who isn’t?), so he did not mind having a dog in the classroom at all! The entire class was thrilled to see a cute furry friend in their final class. 

As for Luna? She was an attentive student for the entire hour and fifteen minutes. 

“She was pretty well-behaved in class,” Lewis explained. “She went straight to whoever was talking for the most part, like if someone was answering or asking a question. Just walked around and got pets from everyone and made friends. The really funny part was that every time the professor stopped and asked if anyone had questions or comments, she whined loudly like she was responding. It was hilarious.” 

Admittedly, Luna was a bit distracting during class – but in the best way possible. 

Everyone enjoyed having Luna around, especially the professor.

“He loved having her and had no complaints at all,” Lewis said. “He was wonderful about it; he just laughed with us whenever she did something funny.” 

Luna loved being in class just as much as she was loved for being there. Once class was over, she was a little disappointed!

Then, it was off to see their family and stay safe from the storm!

Penni the dog spent her first year and half of life trapped in a drug house basement.

When she was rescued, she was scared of everything. Her owners had abused her constantly, both physically and verbally.

Rescuers were concerned Penni would struggle to get adopted. Then, Blaine DeLuca came into her life and changed it all.

DeLuca wanted to rescue a dog for awhile but had trouble finding his perfect match. Upon meeting Penni, he was warned of her past. The rescuers explained her timid nature and that it might take a little while for her to get comfortable with him.

DeLuca sat against a wall and Penni was slowly introduced. To everyone’s surprise, Penni wasn’t scared at all – she even licked DeLuca and sat on his lap!

In that moment, DeLuca knew he found his dog.

Once he brought Luna home, he realized how traumatized she must have been. Even the simplest things scared her.

“You could see it in every inch of her demeanor,” DeLuca told The Dodo. “She was absolutely terrified of everything under the sun. It was awful. It was an uphill battle for quite a while. I couldn’t even get her to walk. She would just sit in the corner with her head down. Six months, no eye contact; she was a full-blown disaster at that point.”

DeLuca had no intentions of giving up. He worked hard to get Penni comfortable. He had friends over with their dogs and even brought Penni into a home environment with other dogs – all he wanted was to get Penni feeling safe and happy.

While Penni was struggling, DeLuca was living in New Jersey. The weather was rather chilly, making it hard to go outdoors. The two lived downtown and the environment was far too reminiscent of where she came from.

So the pair moved to Las Vegas.

The hot climate of Las Vegas changed the game for Penni. With all the landscape to explore and the warm weather to embrace, Penni’s life began to change. Every hike DeLuca went on, she came along.

“At that point I could really start to see her demeanor change,” DeLuca said. “I realized how much she enjoyed being outdoors. We’ll sit inside and she’s just a normal dog, but as soon as you open the door to go outside, even if it’s just for a walk down the sidewalk, she just bolts into pure happiness.”

As DeLuca made friends with fellow hikers, Penni got more time to explore and meet new people. All the outdoor adventures gave her a new sense of confidence.

Suddenly, she was a happy and loving pit bull.

 

A post shared by Penni Dog (@pennidog) on Sep 8, 2017 at 6:40am PDT

“She was terrified of anybody that walked anywhere near her,” DeLuca said. “If the door to the house opened, she would be in the bathtub. Now she comes to the door, tail wagging. Even every inanimate object, like if I pulled out a basketball for instance, she would take off in the other direction, versus now, she’ll sit out in the driveway with me when I’m shooting a basketball.”

Now, Penni and DeLuca go on as many adventures as they can.

From hiking…

To rappelling…

To zip lining!

Penni loves facing new and exciting challenges. She shows DeLuca endless trust and is entirely brave no matter what they do.

Penni’s transformation is a story that helps change the current perceptions of pit bulls. She proves that pit bulls can do anything – and then some! They are loving and trusting dogs. Penni’s Instagram is great proof of her calm demeanor.

“On the days I’m wanting to go do something and I maybe can’t find anybody to go with me, it’s awesome to know that I’ve always got her,” DeLuca said. “There’s not one time where I’ve ever taken her out where she wasn’t excited, wasn’t ready.”

Penni’s life began in total darkness, trapped indoors. Now, she embraces the sunlight and the great adventures that await outside. Of course, Penni still struggles with some anxieties, she has come farther than anyone could have hoped.

“She is who she is at this point,” DeLuca said, “and I wouldn’t trade her for any other dog on the planet.”

Messy is a yellow Labrador with a passion for friendship. 

Messy lives with his mother, Oranit Kittragul, in Thailand. While she benefits from the love of her dog, Messy’s caring and affectionate ways go much further. Another dog ends up having a better life – all thanks to Messy!

Across the street from Messy and Oranit’s home is Audi, a lovable Husky. Audi’s owner has work during the day, and leaves him alone in the yard. Like many dogs, Audi gets anxious when left alone. 

Thanks to Messy, this anxiety can be relieved through the company of a friend. 

“When he feels lonely and cries, I always ask my dog to see and talk to him,” Oranit told The Dodo. “My dog just looks from my fence and sometime he barks to [Audi]. I don’t know what they are communicating, but he stops crying.”

Messy brings comfort to Audi, and Audi wanted to show his appreciation. When Audi’s owner forgot to close the gate to his yard on his way to work, Audi made a move! Audi escaped her yard and headed to Oranit’s fence. Messy was right at the gate to greet Audi.

“He ran to my dog and they hugged each other,” Oranit said, taking a photo of the moment.

The dogs hugged, and Audi had to go home soon after. Despite the space between Audi and Messy, their friendship could never be stronger. 

Now that Oranit realized the love and friendship shared between dogs, she organized play dates for the two. Now they can get together and enjoy their friendship.

Ivette Ivens, a 25-year-old mother from Chicago, noticed a French Bulldog born on the same day as her baby son Dilan.

She knew right away this was a sign. 

“I saw Farley’s birth date and just knew it’s meant to be,” she expressed.

The French Bulldog joined the family and became known as Farley. Ever since his adoption, Farley has followed Dilan around everywhere. 

Because Ivens is a photographer, she has captured this beautiful bond through many images. 

“I’m pretty sure Dilan thinks they’re both the same species, as they walk at the same level and are both going through the stage of chewing on everything.”

The two have grown inseparable.

“Farley patiently plays with him and tries not to snore while they both nap.”

Farley also cleans up after Dilan’s messes, especially when it comes to eating!

If Dilan is crying, Farley is there to lick him and bring a smile to his face. 

‘My little Dilan is a chilled-out baby and he’s always happy, but for some reason Farley really cracks him up. I love seeing them together.’
