Poor Woman Takes In Paralyzed Dog No One Wants Then Has To Let Him Go

Our dogs, like our children, are ours for the span of their lives for better and for worse. They cannot control what may happen to them and that includes disease and illness.

For one dog, named Bong, his life started out like most. He was active and happy.

He was so well-trained that his owners allowed him to wander the neighborhood on his own (which is a common practice in this small village).

He always came home. He spent most of his days playing at the park with other dogs.

Then suddenly, out of nowhere, Bong woke up one morning and his back legs were paralyzed.

Instead of getting him proper vet care, he was disgustingly put in a cardboard box and thrown away.

Thankfully a kind old woman heard his cries and came to rescue him. She was heartbroken. She even recognized the dog from the neighborhood.

She vowed to care for him day and night. The old woman is referred to as Grandma by all her neighbors. She’s such a sweetheart.

She makes sure Bong is taken care of before she is. She cleans him and pads his hindquarters with a blanket and some handmade bandages.

Because he drags his legs when he’s on the go, she has to make sure he doesn’t injure himself.

She does all she can for the sweet dog, despite being poor. But she is wealthy in other ways– she has tons of love to give!

When Grandma needs to do stuff around the house, Bong always wants to follow. He loves her so much.

Bong also has a best friend who comes to visit. Knowing he’s limited on what he can do, his best friend’s owner tries to make Bong happy by bringing his best friend to his house. When they see each other, Bong gets so excited.

But when it is time to leave, Bong tries to follow. It frustrates him that he can’t keep up. He watches his favorite friend leave. He tries to follow her but he can’t keep up.

It seems Bong is continuously watching, sadly, as other dogs walk and run. You can see he is emotionally suffering. He wants to do what his body no longer can: play just like he used to.

As Grandma sees Bong, she cries. She sees that he’s suffering and says that if he would have been found and adopted by a rich family, they would be able to pay for his medical care and he would be walking again. It makes her so sad that she’s too poor to get him proper help.

Volunteers stop by when they hear about Grandma and her situation. They have lots of presents for Bong like a new bed and some toys. They also bring him a big bag of food.

Bong is so happy. But then they give Grandma and Bong the greatest gift of all! They volunteer to take Bong to the vet! Free of charge! It’s time for them to see if Bong can use his back legs again.

After an MRI, Bong is diagnosed with Myelitis of the spine. This could be a game-changer. Myelitis, in this case, has a 70% recovery rate!

When they give Grandma the news, she cries and cries. She’s so happy that there’s a good chance Bong is going to get better.

But she’s also sad that he needs to stay at the hospital for a while. She’s going to miss him so much!

Now it is time for Bong to get treatment! Rehab begins and Bong has hope. So do the volunteers! This is going to be an uphill battle but Bong and Grandma have a lot to live for.

Let’s cheer them on! Bong has a way to go but we are praying for a full recovery. Can you pray too?

Dog Seen Outside Of Store With A Sign Around His Neck:

Animal lovers have a lot to say about this story but regardless of what you may think, this is one SMART DOG!

Steve Moore rescued Jackson, a three-year-old Golden Retriever, from the shelter. Jackson needed a home and Moore stepped up to the plate. Moore took Jackson in and began working with him every day. In just a month, Moore had him trained to do something PHENOMENAL! His “trick” had every passerby that saw Jackson, wanting this dog for themselves… a dog NO ONE showed interest in just a month prior.

Moore took Jackson to high traffic, busy areas so he could work with him while getting used to the noises and distractions around him. He had Jackson sit and stay. Then he had him sit and stay for a longer period of time. Then, he had him sit and stay while he walked away from him. He did this repeatedly UNTIL Jackson could be left on his own long enough for Moore to go inside of a store and get his errands done. Since dogs are not allowed in most stores, this was a better alternative to leaving him in a car where he could overheat. Plus, he wouldn’t be tied up, so if an emergency should happen, Jackson could run to safety.

The final stage was to get him to sit and stay WHILE wearing a sign around his neck. “Dad told me to wait here. Me waiting.” And Jackson is really good at waiting! Even with commotion around him and people walking up to say “hi” and give him pets, Jackson waits, FAITHFULLY for his human to return. Now that’s a GOOD BOY!

Lucky Elderly Man Is Greeted Every Day By A “Friend” Who Crawls Out Of The Ice:

We’ve all seen some unique and unlikely friendships over the years, but this one here may take the cake!

One day, a starving otter appeared at an elderly man’s door wanting some food. Ever since, Seppo Laamanen, 65, and Iivari the otter have been inseparable best friends.

Source: StoryTrender/YouTube

It all started when Seppo fed worms and fish to the small and malnourished otter who was clearly looking for food.

After that, the friendly animal repaid the kindness by visiting the man at his home in Punkaharju in easter Finland. This was the start of something special.

There’s no way Seppo could’ve ever imagined it’d all lead to this. This adorably unique friendship is one for the ages, and it’s something you have to see to believe.

There’s nothing like the bond between two friends regardless of the species! 🙂

10 Of The “Most Loyal” Dog Breeds On The Planet

Giving love and support to humans is something that some dogs do better than others.

While many dogs love everyone they meet and are willing to take treats or belly rubs from anyone, the pups we found are just the opposite.

These 10 dogs are some of the most loyal breeds on the planet. They are rock steady in their loyalty to their owner no matter what.

1) Akita

When the American Kennel Club (AKC) lists loyalty to describe the temperament of the Akita, you know they mean business. The beautiful double-coated working dog of Japanese ancestry is considered hardwired in protecting those she loves. They should be socialized with other dogs and people from the time they are puppies. Their silly, fun, but dignified personalities round out the loyal Akita.

2) Boxer

This working dog is smart, full of energy, and oh so loyal to their family. They get along great with kids and have an innate instinct to protect their pack. He’s a watchdog with a heart of gold who oozes dedication to his owner.

3) Skye Terrier

Known as the “small dog with the big ears,” this adorable breed hails from the Scottish Isle of Skye, hence the name. Whether you live in the city or the country, this small dog with a big personality is steadfast in snuggling, playtime, and remaining loyal to his owners.

4) Beagle

This merry hound is friendly, curious and incredibly loyal. While he doesn’t mind the occasional couch potato time, this spunky pooch is energetic and merry. A fun fact about this hound: the breed standard is for 13 inches and under and another in the 13-15 inch category. No matter how you size him, these adorable dogs just want to cling to you.

5) Shar-Pei

This wrinkly non-sporting breed is standoffish to strangers but very loyal to his owner. His ancient Chinese roots are part of the charm of the Shar-Pei. Regal, strong, and smart, if you want a BFF for life, this loose-skinned pooch may be the right choice for you.
