Rescued Dog Rescues Another Dog

This is a pretty cool story. Back in March, a black lab was stranded on a mountain pass, and at first, he wouldn't allow anyone to put a leash on him to bring him down. Finally, a Humane Society animal officer and others were able to coax him down the mountain. They named him Blewett, which was the name of the mountain pass where he'd been stranded. He quickly found a new home and it didn't take long before he went from the victim to the hero.

Blewett and his new family were taking a walk on some trails when he started barking at something down below on the ground. The family realized it was another black lab, and they went to get help. Blewett ran straight down the slope and cuddled up next to the other dog and kept it warm until help arrived. Pretty cool story, huh? Dogs... You've gotta love 'em.

Make it a great day!

A Lion Called Christian: The True Story of the Remarkable Bond between Two Friends and a Lion

Remember this video from YouTube of the two men who befriended a lion called Christian. It was a remarkable story of the bond between two men and a lion.

The story behind the YouTube video is now for sale on Amazon, and it's definitely worth a look. With all the other negative news going on these days, it's nice to see a book like this getting a lot of publicity. The book is titled, A Lion Called Christian - The Story of the Remarkable Bond Between Two Friends and a Lion.

Here's the book's description from this page on Amazon:

In 2008 an extraordinary two-minute film clip appeared on YouTube and immediately became an international phenomenon. It captures the moving reunion of two young men and their pet lion Christian, after they had left him in Africa with Born Free’s George Adamson to introduce him into his rightful home in the wild.

A Lion Called Christian tells the remarkable story of how Anthony “Ace” Bourke and John Rendall, visitors to London from Australia in 1969, bought the boisterous lion cub in the pet department of Harrods. For several months, the three of them shared a flat above a furniture shop on London’s King’s Road, where the charismatic and intelligent Christian quickly became a local celebrity, cruising the streets in the back of a Bentley, popping in for lunch at a local restaurant, even posing for a fashion advertisement. But the lion cub was growing up—fast—and soon even the walled church garden where he went for exercise wasn’t large enough for him. How could Ace and John avoid having to send Christian to a zoo for the rest of his life?

A coincidental meeting with English actors Virginia McKenna and Bill Travers, stars of the hit film Born Free, led to Christian being flown to Kenya and placed under the expert care of “the father of lions” George Adamson. Incredibly, when Ace and John returned to Kenya to see Christian a year later, they received a loving welcome from their lion, who was by then fully integrated into Africa and a life with other lions.

Originally published in 1971, and now fully revised and updated with more than 50 photographs of Christian from cuddly cub in London to magnificent lion in Africa, A Lion Called Christian is a touching and uplifting true story of an indelible human-animal bond. It is is destined to become one of the great classics of animal literature.

Here's the full version of the original video. Enjoy!

The Full Story of Christian The Lion

You've probably heard the story of Christian the Lion. He was a lion cub that a couple of men had purchased from Harrods back in 1969. They took him home and took care of him until he was too big for them to handle. They then released him into the wild, and here's video footage of the story including the reunion with Christian in the wild. Enjoy and make it a great day!

Hero Dog Bitten By Snake And Almost Loses His Life

From Australia's the Herald Sun -- Once again, a dog steps in to save the day. Roary, the Staffordshire bull terrier pictured to the left, stepped in front of his owner's little three-year old who was about to be bitten by a poisonous brown snake.

Roary almost died, but his owner managed to get him to the vet in time to save his life (even stopping to blow air into his nose along the way to the vet).

The pup is doing just fine now, and all is well. To read the entire story of how Roary saved the day, please go to this page on the Herald Sun's website.

After 52 Days In The Cold, Beloved Dog Is On The Mend

From the Detroit Free Press -- One of my readers (Thanks Missy) sent this story to me this morning. It's a great story to follow up the earlier story about Nubs the Dog.

Mr. Joe disappeared from his owners home on New Year's Eve, and was found 52 days later in a neighbor's barn. The poor little guy had lost half his body weight and was almost dead. Luckily though, Mr. Joe has just returned to his owner's home and is doing well.

To read about Mr. Joe's ordeal, visit this page on the Detroit Free Press.

Nubs The Dog Travels 70 Miles To Reunite With Soldier In Iraq

This has to be one of the best stories I've heard out of Iraq in quite some time. A Marine named Major Dennis rescued a dog in Iraq who had been severely mistreated (his ears had been cut off and he had been stabbed with a screw driver by his Iraqi owners). Major Dennis nursed him back to health as best he could, but his troop was ordered to leave the area where they were, and they couldn't take Nubs with them. (He named him Nubs because of his ears.)

They traveled 70 miles away through the desert, and miraculously, Nubs found them. By the time Nubs found them, he was in bad shape again having traveled 70 miles in very treacherous terrain.

This time, Major Dennis knew he had to get Nubs out of Iraq. He started an email campaign and raised over $3,000 to get Nubs out of Iraq and to San Diego to stay with some friends until he can be reunited with him when he returns from Iraq himself. Nubs is supposed to be landing here in the U.S. any day now. I'll keep you updated as soon as I know he's here.

Here's the remarkable story.

Make it a great day!

Dogs Give Up Their Lives To Save Their Family

For those of us who are dog owners, this is both a sad and inspirational story. Bella and Maddie, two Golden Retrievers, alerted their family about a fire in their house. Because of the dogs warning the family was able to get out of the house, but the dogs didn't make it because they stayed in the house because they thought a family member was still in the house. That, my friends, is why dogs are more than just pets. They're members of the family.
