A dog that was trapped on a southern Idaho cliff for more than five days was rescued by heroes on a passionate mission. The dog, later named Clifford was awaiting his heroes from the Friends Forever Animal Rescue to save him.

“It was pretty intense. Especially getting up there, and then it was even more so getting him down after trying to gain his trust and pass him down from one person to the next to get him down,” said Richard Jensen of the animal rescue group. Volunteers got the call October 13 and quickly made their way out to Bliss, where they found the dog trapped on a steep cliff.
"If we’re not there doing it, whose going to be doing it?" said Dave Wright of Friends Furever Animal Rescue.
Many other agencies including law enforcement were unable to help, but Wright and his crew knew their experience with rock climbing would come in handy.
“So, I’ve done years of scrambling, peak scrambling, alpine climbing, things like that. So, we went in with safety in mind,” Wright said.
Drone footage of Clifford quickly went viral and the community jumped into action to donate money for his vet bills and try to help find an owner.
“You know, it’s the nature of Facebook. As much as people hate the “F-word”, it has saved literally millions of animals,” Wright said.
Clifford is now recovering from superficial wounds at a foster home in Twin Falls. “It is an extremely gratifying thing that we do. It keeps us going. To be honest, there's a lot of stress involved,” Wright said. But most importantly, Clifford is learning to trust again. “There's stories that don't have happy endings. There's times we show up a minute too late. But it's the happy endings is why I do it,” Jensen said.

Dog saved after being trapped on Idaho cliff for 5 days


Big Dog Ranch's search and rescue team located a dog buried under air conditioning units in Marsh Harbour by using infrared heat-seeking technology on a drone. It was estimated that the dog had been trapped there for over three weeks.

Big Dog got the word on Friday morning at 9:30. "They texted me and they said urgent, We need a plane now. We had a plane there within an hour," says Lauree Simmons, president, and founder of Big Dog Ranch Rescue.
Simmons says they're naming the dog "Miracle" because it's a miracle he is still alive. It's truly a miracle that he survived this long on his own. Miracle has arrived at Big Dog Ranch Rescue at 1:38 p.m. While standing in the emergency room at Simmons told veterinarian staff, "[He was] underneath an AC unit, he was trapped since the storm. And he is just totally emaciated."

Unfortunately the other dog that was trapped there with him is deceased. "Miracle" was given 300mm of fluids and fed small amounts of food before he was cleared for transport back to the United States. "Hopefully, we can find his owners. If not we'll find him a wonderful home, I want everybody to know the crisis in the Bahamas is not over, there are a lot of dogs too scared to come out because of heavy equipment that's in the area for cleanup efforts." says Simmons.

This rescue mission is Big Dog's 12th since Hurricane Dorian ravaged parts of the Bahamas in September. The team members were Sean Irion, Big Dog Ranch Rescue Volunteer, Douglas Thron, of Douglas Thron Aerial Cinematography, and photographer Cristy Nielsen.

Three Louisiana women were recently apprehended after they allegedly abused a paralyzed dog named 'Buddy'. According to a vet who examined the dog, his hind legs appear to have been cut off in such a horrible animal cruelty. Following the disturbing occurrences, 'Buddy' has been receiving proper medical treatment that he critically needed for months prior, as official are left perplexed at why anyone would do such a malicious act to harm this dog.

This 2 year old dachshund was first discovered in the pouring rain at a mobile park home last week by a Slidell, LA resident, a spokesperson from the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office (STPSO) said in a press conference.

A local animal rescue "Dante’s Hope East" was brought to the scene on September 25th to retrieve the abandoned canine who was left to die, but instantly contacted the sheriff’s office when they noticed 'Buddy’s back legs were both missing. After investigating, officials were able to determine who Buddy’s owners were a 50-year-old Slidell woman and her 17-year-old daughter, both of whom were arrested for animal cruelty as well as more of the dog’s heartbreaking back story.

According to the STPSO spokesperson, Buddy was shot in February 2019 and although the two women reported the incident to law enforcement at the time, they did not seek out any medical help or treatment for their puppy’s injuries. After the incident, Buddy suffered from partial paralysis in his legs and was unable to walk, forcing the dog to drag his legs behind him, which caused severe sores on his legs.

the STPSO spokesperson said that when they were confronted about Buddy’s missing hind legs, the two women claimed they “fell off” after they bandaged them too tight. However, a board-certified veterinarian orthopedic surgeon refuted that claim. After Buddy was examined, the Vet concluded that his wounds were “maliciously inflicted” by his owners and ruled out any probability of the pup’s legs being removed by a medical professional or by natural means.

A Facebook fundraiser that was created on behalf of Buddy amid his health crisis also explained how serious the dog’s condition was.
“He has a bone sticking out and infection setting in. Due to blood loss, he had to have a blood transfusion today in order to survive,” the fundraiser’s organizer, Gina Polk-Derouen, wrote on Sept. 24. That His wounds were cleaned, he had an IV and urinary catheter placed, and is now on IV antibiotics and pain meds until his values come up enough to survive surgery. His Xrays also show he has 2 bullets near his back,”
In just eight days, the fundraiser has raised over $18,600 for Buddy.

3 Women Arrested After Dog Is Found with His Hind Legs 'Intentionally' Cut Off

A Florida family is devastated that an eight-month-old pit bull died Tuesday after saving their two boys from a venomous snake attack. Gary and Gina Richardson's sons were in their backyard Monday in Sumter Country cleaning their dog Zeus' water bowl when a coral snake slithered it's way  to the two children.

"All of a sudden, he started attacking the snake which was close to my son and he was bit four times. I knew when he first came in that something was wrong and (it) was very traumatic because I knew he was dying,"
The family rushed Zeus to a vet in Ocala. The vet gave the puppy medicine and the family was hopeful that he would get better, but he died the next day.

“He’s been a member of the family,” Gina said. “It just killed us. We just knew the antivenom was going to work.”

Zeus lived with the Richardsons since he was born in January.

“Pit bulls are the most loyal dog I know of, and I’ve had a lot of different animals in my life,” Gary said. If you find (a pit bull) that’s aggressive, most likely, it’s because they weren’t treated right,” Gina said. “If you treat them right, they would give their life for you and I owe my son’s life to him.”

 A woman from Georgia adopts this dying dog on his last moments, so that he can enjoy his last adventures. After being adopted, Elliot said that she just had ideas for him, as he's sometimes playful, but of course with age and Cancer it turns him down. Since she started, she has created a page for him and also a donation website " Animal Ark Rescue." 

She added that she hopes to spread awareness to animals who have no chance of finding homes as they get closer to dying. 



Elliot said. "There are so many people that say animals don’t have souls like humans, but I feel like anybody who met Chester would see he does have a soul. He has already fallen in love with me. He follows me everywhere. "That was my main goal to inspire and encourage people to adopt shelter animals that people are less likely to adopt like older ones and the terminally ill"



She also plans to continue adopting sick and elderly animals to hopefully give them some happiness to their last moments.

Dogs are truly wonderful creatures ! they their owners and they treat us like we are in their pack. Unfortunately this dog had to suffer a horrible experience. Imagine being abandoned by your family , your loved ones. Well this dog had to suffer exactly the same experience.

A loyal dog named Maru was sent by her owner on a train to the kennels where she first adopted her. The owner said that she was allergic to the dog and couldn't bare keeping her. Maru eventually escaped the train and went on a mission in the Siberian forest to go back to her owner's home ! 


Later the kennel owner "Morozova Alla" organised a search party to hopefully save the dog who was completely lost. Who two days later was found near an industrial estate close to the home of the owner who abandoned her in a terrible state. 

"Maru" was completely in tears and suffered many injuries to her paws, muzzle and pads due to the long forest road. "Alla" also mentioned that the owner who abandoned Maru didn't help with anything related to the search party.The train conductor said that Maru was suffering from a panic attack due to the train's sound and when the train fully stopped she vigorously jumped out of the cabin and ran on her way to home.


"Maru" is now resting and recovering from her injuries after being transported back by Alla's friend who originally found her.

Sometimes our dogs can do weird things that may seem funny or that can be hard to understand. Maybe your dog keeps rolling on the floor and you might think that they are doing that just to be cute and try to get your attention. Nevertheless , It's quite clear that we don't understand our dogs behaviors fully yet, but many researchers may have figured out a few behaviors and reasons behind them that you might not know about.

 1.Why do dogs bite other dogs tail ?

You might be very familiar with this behavior. You may have taken your dog out for a walk and maybe he met a few friends a long the way, and then you're left surprised to see your dog biting another ones tail. And that's because researchers have found that dogs are very good at sensing and smelling parasites either in their own bodies or other dogs tails, and they try to ease the parasites pain by biting on it. If your dog is doing this frequently it might a good idea to have it checked out 

 2. Why do they cry ?

You might have not seen this before, but it's true dogs can cry too. It can range from infection to many other countless pain factors, if your dog is crying frequently then it's likely that he might be suffering from some sickness either a parasite or allergies, scratched cornea,  blocked tear ducts, or in simplest cases a speck of dust.

3. Rolling on the floor 

this is something that each dog owner has seen often in their life with their partner. The reason behind dogs Rolling on the floor or on the ground has to do with 2 things. Either they feel the need to scratch their back and they start rolling to alleviate the pain or they are doing it because they find the texture surface to be smooth that can help them massage themselves.

 4. Follow you into the bathroom

Dogs tend to do this all the time, and that's because they have evolved based on pack mentality. They see you as a member or leader of their pack, and that means that they have grown very much attached to you so they can tend to follow you around everywhere even to the bathroom.

 5. Watching TV

Yes, domestic often behave like we do. They are very smart and they learn from us too. While research have proven that dogs to interact with television, but dogs still often have short interactions, they don't focus that much but they would rather watch short clips then a long story telling scenario.

I guess you didn't, And here are things that you might not have known about till now ! 

1 Whales and dolphins can survive out of water



Many people think if whales or dolphins get out of water they dies because they can’t breath, they are mammals and they use their lungs to breath and they're are like us, They can survive out of water just for a few days, but when beached for long periods they sadly die due to their heavy weight which damages their muscles and internal organs.

Some turtles species, specially aquatic ones, can breath from their butts, and it is called cloacal respiration.The turtles pump water in and out of their pouches, which are called cloacal bursae. There are 2 pouches that allows them to breath and they are called paired cloacal bursae. Because of their slow metabolism they can easily adapt to any water conditions, some species of turtles can even spend an a whole winter underwater!   

 3 Giraffes can't make sounds 


Giraffes do have a voice box, but the reason why they can't produce sounds is because they couldn't channel enough airflow through their 13 ft long trachea and this is why they can't vibrate their vocal chords to make noises.
