Brandon Ryan Rudowski must’ve done a double-take the day he saw a dog walking upright like a human. I know most of us probably would. Brandon was in the car near his home in Canada when he noticed a fluffy black dog walking along the sidewalk. However, it wasn’t walking normally, instead, the dog was strolling along on its two hind legs as if it was o big deal. “I have never seen this before!” Brandon shared with The Dodo. The quirky little pooch wasn’t alone. In fact, it was closely accompanied by its owner who was walking her dog

Dogs bring joy with them wherever they go – especially when they show up somewhere unexpectedly. And when a pair of pit bulls waltzed into a hospital, they certainly were a welcomed surprise. The curious canines were on their own little odyssey, and it was caught on hospital security cameras for all to see. Hospital staff at the St. Luke’s Anderson Campus got a very pleasant surprise when the happy pair strolled into the hospital as though they were meant to be there. The workers watched in delight as the dogs wandered around the rooms, exploring everything – there must

When it comes to naming your new furry family member, do you pick a human name, or do you give them a name that is more abstract and cutesy? Do you name them after a favorite character, or do you name them after a favorite food? How do you choose your pet’s name? It’s a very important question as naming your pet is a bit of a big deal. You want to pick something that fits their personality but is also unique at the same time. It’s not easy naming a pet.  A lot of people choose the names of

We love seeing friendships blossom between dogs and other animals. Interspecies bonds between dogs and other animals is some of the most wholesome content to grace the internet. It definitely gives us all the feels watching how two different species can easily come together and create a bond. It definitely serves as a reminder that differences can easily be overcome – a lesson we should all take to heart.  A one-year-old Shar-Pei dog named Chino was captured on camera cultivating a wonderful new friendship with a darling little foal. Duke was only a week old when he made his first

Dogs are so full of love. They cannot stand to hear anyone in their family cry. If you’re a dog owner, you can probably attest to it. If you’ve ever been crying, there is no doubt that the first one to rush to your side is your dog. All they want to do is see you happy. And when it comes to the smallest members of a family, no one is more caring or loving than a dog. When Baby Malina was brought home, the family’s Boxer, Bella, immediately took to the little newborn. It was a relief for Malina’s

Dogs and kids make for wonderful friendships. Both parties have such innocence and joy for life that it’s no wonder why they get along great. When I was growing up, my dog was definitely one of my best friends. We did almost everything together. I think my favorite memory of the two of us was whenever we’d have backyard picnics together.  One very adorable friendship between a boy and his dog was recorded on camera. The two of them show off their morning routine, something that is just too cute to put into words. The video kicks off with the

Contrary to what the media often portrays, cats and dogs do get along. A lot of these interactions even go beyond just a tolerance for each other to what can be described as loving friendships. My dog was best friends with our outdoor cat for her whole life. And the two of them were like peas in a pod most of the time – except for the times he’d roughly kick her out of her own doghouse.  When one dog owner, Sara, was thinking about getting a companion for her dog, she put a lot of thought into it. Sara

All dogs have a silly side to them. That is one of the many reasons that they are so endearing. Their silliness can be brought out in many different ways. My dog’s “crazy” side could always be brought out by the imitation sound of bees buzzing. We don’t know why, but every time she’d hear us say “bzzz” she’d begin tearing around the yard like a crazy dog. This eventually leads to my dad buying a giant stuffed bee toy and chasing her around the garden with it. Then afterward, she’d get the satisfaction of quite literally ripping the stuffing

Service dogs have such an important job that goes above and beyond just being a friend to their person. They are everything to the people they help. And 6-year-old Caspian means the whole world to his 13-year-old owner, Gavin. Gavin is a young boy who lives with seizures and is nonverbal. Caspian’s main job is to alert his family whenever Gavin is about to experience a seizure. However, the pup is also a wonderful companion as he’s brought soothing energy to Gavin. Whenever Gavin is feeling anxious, Caspian is right there to ease the tension. The dog has even helped to promote

The Beaver County Humane Society is warning dog owners to get their pets vaccinated after a second puppy recently tested positive for the deadly parvovirus. Parvo is a highly contagious and deadly virus that is commonly seen in puppies, but it is also known to affect dogs of any age. The virus is spread from direct dog-to-dog contact, contaminated feces, or contaminated environments. The virus can live in the environment for more than a year under the right conditions. Parvo attacks a dog’s lining of their digestive system and prevents them from absorbing the proper nutrients they need. Common symptoms
