Dogs are not just pets, they are part of the family. They deserve to be played with and should be given adequate shelter, instead of ignored and confined to a small cage.
The latter is the only life Pip ever knew. He spent his entire existence trapped in an outdoor pen with no one to play with or love him.

He was such a friendly pup and had so much love to give, but no one to give it to. His owners pretended like he didn’t exist, but all he wanted was attention.
Every time someone even looked at him, he wagged his tail and jumped up on the cage to show that he wanted to play with them.

Finally, PETA’s fieldworkers were able to break him out of there. As soon as the volunteer showed up to set him free, Pip couldn’t even contain his excitement.
He began running all around the pen, wagging his tail and jumping up and down. Once the fieldworker went inside, Pip laid on his back for belly rubs.

The woman put a leash on him and led him outside of the pen for the first time in his life. He was a bit confused at first, but was so happy to finally be free.
He was brought to the vet for an exam and was adopted out a few days later.

Pip is now living with a loving family and is finally living the life he deserves. He gets to play and snuggle up on the couch and no longer has to worry about being stuck in that outdoor pen.

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.

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.
