Dad Poured Food For His Puppy And He Won’t Eat Without Their Prayer Routine

There are some things that all puppies have in common. They eat, sleep, play, and go potty.

Kahlua, the Labrador Retriever puppy, is a bit different than most little dogs her age. Before each meal, her dad taught her an extraordinary routine.

Some puppies have no self-control when it comes to meals. They are learning manners and to be patient, after all.

Kahlua not only watches her dad pour her food and waits patiently, but then she engages in the most adorable behavior.

Her dad says aloud, “Let’s pray.” In a split second, Kahlua joins her dad in prayer!

The cute pup lays down, closes her eyes, and actually seems to listen as her dad recites a pre-dinner prayer.

Once the prayer is done, her dad says “Amen,” and Kahula gets up to eat. We can’t even handle how charming this entire video is, so you must see it for yourself.

When Matt Bentley went four-wheeling in the Salt Flats in Utah, he stumbled upon an animal in desperate need of help. This hairless, emaciated dog came running down the trail in the middle of nowhere.

Matt was mortified. Where had this dog come from? She was in such rough shape that Matt didn’t even know she was a dog at first!

Matt drove her to the Utah Animal Adoption Center and pleaded with them to take her. They quickly agreed. This poor dog needed extensive medical treatment.

Quickly, a woman named Jamie heard about the “doggy warrior” and wanted to volunteer her time to help the dog through the rough road ahead. Jamie also gave the sweet dog a name: Kelly.

Jamie drove to the center to meet Kelly in person for the first time. They immediately connected.

Despite the pain she must have been in and whatever past trauma she was working through, Kelly was so friendly.

She came right up to Jamie, wagging her tail and wanting to be pet. Jamie felt an instant bond!

Kelly jumped paws first into her recovery. She made tremendous strides quickly. She was so motivated to get well and move onto her new life.

Jamie watched as Kelly fought to get better and knew as soon as she was ready, Jamie would officially adopt her and take her home.

Kelly’s first day at her new house was awesome! She walked through the front door as if the house was always meant to be hers. Jamie’s dog Rocky happily greeted Kelly.

It seems they were always meant to be siblings too! Rocky gave Kelly a tour of the place and from that moment on, the two became inseparable!

The video below even shows that they hate sleeping without each other. It’s so adorable!

As time went on, Kelly’s recovery did too! In fifteen months, her fur grew back in completely and her health was excellent.

Jamie is so grateful for what Matt did that she wants to reunite them. Matt, of course, agreed!

When Matt sees Kelly, he’s amazed. To say she was transformed is an understatement! Jamie thanks Matt over and over for saving Kelly’s life. Matt can’t help but tear up a bit.

He understands that Kelly wouldn’t have survived if it weren’t for him. Now, this is one heartwarming story you do not want to miss.

Story: Man’s About To Return Shelter Dog When He Reads Previous Owner’s Note

A man had finally settled into his new town, but something still felt missing from his life. He thought getting a companion in the form of a shelter dog might help. So he did just that. He went to the shelter where a black Lab named Reggie needed a home. But they didn’t hit it off right away.

The man gave it two weeks (the amount of time the shelter said it may take for the dog to adjust to his new home), but it just wasn’t working out. Maybe it was the fact he was also trying to adjust to a new situation. Maybe they were too much alike. But then the man started going through Reggie’s stuff, and that’s when he was reminded of a letter the previous owner had left with the dog. That’s what would end up changing their lives dramatically.

What an amazingly beautiful story. It’s all going to work out for Tank and his new owner. 🙂

Reverse Sneezing In Dogs – What to do…

Does this sound familiar? Your dog suddenly starts making loud snorting sounds—over and over again, in quick succession.

Do you start wondering, did they swallow something they shouldn’t have? Can they breathe?!

Chances are, you’re experiencing the infamous “reverse sneeze.”

Veterinarians often see dogs whose owners rushed them in for an emergency appointment after finding them standing with their elbows apart, head pulled back, and eyes bulging as they snort or gasp repeatedly.

Yet for the vast majority of these dogs, a vet visit was unnecessary.

Reverse sneezing looks and sounds scary the first time you encounter it. However, it’s a fairly common and harmless respiratory event for dogs.

Read on to learn how to identify reverse sneezing, what causes it, and how to tell the difference between a harmless reverse sneeze and something else.

What is reverse sneezing?

A reverse sneeze is pretty much what it sounds like: a sneeze that happens in reverse! The above video is a good example of what it looks and sounds like.

In a regular sneeze, air is rapidly pushed out through the nose. In a reverse sneeze, air is rapidly, and noisily, pulled in through the nose.

It occurs in spasms lasting anywhere from a few seconds up to a minute and sounds like snorting, snuffling, and even gagging. See the above video for an example.

Because of the sounds their dogs make while reverse sneezing, many people mistakenly think their dog is choking. However, a reverse sneeze is almost as normal and harmless as a regular sneeze.

What causes reverse sneezing?

VIA FLICKR/FLEUR-DESIGN

There’s no single cause for a reverse sneeze. Like regular sneezing, it’s often triggered by an irritation or inflammation in the nose, throat, or sinuses.

It often occurs when dogs wake up from a nap, or after eating, when their breathing pattern may have rapidly changed. It’s also caused by irritants in the airway—anything from dust to an inhaled hair!

Some dogs experience more frequent reverse sneezing in springtime when the air is full of pollen and other allergens.

Others reverse sneeze more in the winter, when sudden temperature changes between outdoors and indoors cause the nasal passages to contract.

Another common cause of reverse sneezing is pressure on the throat and neck. A too-tight collar, or straining against the leash, can irritate the throat and lead to a reverse sneeze. That’s just one more reason to consider a harness for your dog.

Finally, some dogs reverse sneeze after exercise, or when they’re overexcited. This is particularly common among brachycephalic, or short-nosed, breeds like pugs and bulldogs.

When they get worked up, they may inhale their elongated soft palates into the throat, triggering an episode of reverse sneezing.

How to end a reverse sneezing episode

VIA FLICKR/78428166@N00

Reverse sneezing is super-common, and it won’t hurt your dog. However, some dogs become anxious during a reverse sneezing episode, and a lengthy episode may be uncomfortable.

You can help your dog recover from a reverse sneezing episode by remaining calm yourself. If you get anxious, your dog’s anxiety will increase, too. So, stay calm, and show your dog there’s nothing to panic about.

If your dog is experiencing a particularly long episode of reverse sneezing, you may be able to ease or end the episode by:

  • Gently massaging your dog’s throat
  • Briefly covering their nostrils, which will cause them to swallow and potentially stop sneezing
  • Depressing their tongue with your hand to help open airways
  • Some vets suggest gently blowing in your dog’s face

In the vast majority of cases, there’s no need to intervene. Reverse sneezing doesn’t last long, and your dog will be perfectly normal after it stops.

When you should go to the vet

As mentioned, reverse sneezing rarely requires veterinary treatment. As soon as the sneezing episode stops, the situation is resolved. However, if episodes increase in frequency or duration, you should call the vet just in case.

You should also seek treatment if your dog’s reverse sneezing is accompanied by other respiratory symptoms or if they have any unusual discharge from their nose.

Occasionally, chronic reverse sneezing can be a symptom of more serious issues. These include nasal mites, foreign objects in the airway, respiratory infections, and tracheal collapse.

If you’re concerned about the intensity of your dog’s reverse sneezing, take a video to show the vet. They’ll be able to determine potential causes.

Most dogs experience episodes of reverse sneezing at some point in their lives. For the vast majority of dogs, it’s a common, temporary, harmless reaction with no lasting aftereffects.

Of course, it still sounds unsettling to our human ears! But now that you know what reverse sneezing is, you’ll be less likely to make an unnecessary vet visit.
