He Was Struck By Train After Teen Abandoned Him Outside, Lost 2 Legs & 1 Eye

When Trooper was just three-months-old, he experienced a traumatic accident that has left him without two legs and one eye.

Back on March 13, Trooper was sadly hit by a train in Hamilton, Ohio. He miraculously survived the scary ordeal and was taken in by Animal Friends Humane Society, where he was soon fitted with a custom wheelchair to help him get around.

Trooper ended up on the tracks after a 17-year-old abandoned him and his sibling at a park.

The teen was charged with cruelty and abandoning animals, and Trooper’s sibling was located unharmed in the neighboring city of Fairfield.

Trooper has lived up to his name and made an incredible recovery. He was adopted by Elizabeth Forman, who has given him the best care.

Her house is perfect for Trooper, since it already had built-in ramps for her other disabled dogs.

Trooper is now eight months old and helps bring hope to everyone he meets, including nursing homes that he visits.

Trooper helps bring awareness to disabled pets and educates people that there are plenty of shelters and rescues that have dogs just like him who are searching for forever homes.

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

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.

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.

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.
