Anytime a helpless animal is struggling for life, our hearts break into a thousand pieces. This story is no exception but we are so grateful it ends happily!
One night, while it rained, Ray Vargas could hear cries from the yard. As he went to the window and could hear the crying clearer, the cries sounded like meowing!

Ray put on his raincoat and rushed outside. When he followed the cries, he looked up and that is when he saw a tiny spot on his roof. It was a teeny tiny kitten crying hysterically. While it made little sense, all Ray was concerned about was getting to the kitten.

He was able to get to the kitten and bring her inside. He braved the elements and went back out to see if mom could also be found. But there was no mama in sight.
The tiny kitten was shaking from being soaking wet. Ray dried her off then made some calls. He asked if someone could bring by what he needed to feed the kitten. She was way too tiny to eat cat food so he fed her by syringe every few hours.

Ray named the kitten Bhageera.
Bhageera had tiny bite wounds. Eventually, when Ray brought her to the vet, the doctor said that rats had tried to eat her. Because she was dying and so tiny, and the rats were hungry, Bhageera’s likely demise was just part of the circle of life. Thankfully, though, Ray put a stop to that!

The tiny baby grew and grew. She began to flourish and Ray and the kitten became the best of friends. At first, Ray figured he would foster Bhageera and then find her a proper home but now he couldn’t imagine parting with the kitten. It was official, they’re a family!

Now full-grown, Bhageera and Ray do everything together. Even work together! Their bond is so special. Without Ray, Bhageera would have never survived but Ray also insists it is Bhageera who rescued him right back. Sometimes you need someone so deeply but have no clue. Now Ray feels complete.

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.

2) Boxer
This working dog is smart, full of energy, and oh so loyal to their family. They get along great with kids and have an innate instinct to protect their pack. He’s a watchdog with a heart of gold who oozes dedication to his owner.

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.
