Sarah Slieme who volunteers for the SPCA was visiting an animal shelter. She came across a Pit Bull who was slumped against the wall.
The dog, named Cinnamon, looked incredibly sad so Sarah stopped to talk to her. Sarah kindly spoke as she checked out the dog, who had obviously just given birth.

As Sarah sweetly spoke, the Pit Bull’s eyes began to water. Real tears formed and it was the most human-like thing Sarah had witnessed coming from a dog.
It touched her heart and she knew that Cinnamon had been through some serious heartache.
Someone dumped this poor mama at the shelter, minus her babies. Every time I stopped to talk to her and say I was sorry her eyes would fill with tears (check out reaction at -:13). Heartbreaking!! #thedodo The Dodo #adoptdontshop————-Update: Cinnamon was adopted! See my page/updated post for her new family photo and adoption video!

The Pit Bull, after a thorough examination, had been used as a breeding machine.
She had recently been separated from her puppies and that is what many believed was so upsetting to the poor dog.

At the time, the rescue group had run out of foster homes. So Sarah decided if she was going to have to leave the mama Pit Bull there, she would film her and post a video (seen above), with a plea, on Facebook, hoping someone would see her and want to give her a home.

In less than 24 hours, the video had been viewed 700,000 times! It also had tons of shares. It was incredible. Sarah was hopeful her potential family had viewed the video and would reach out to her soon.
Sarah was right! Megan Shelton saw Cinnamon’s video. She replayed it for her family. They all began to cry when they saw the mama dog cry.
They reached out for adoption info and were told to be at the shelter first thing in the morning.
The Shelton family was the first in line! When they were put in a room together, the entire family instantly fell in love with Cinnamon. The adoption was a go!

Soon, Cinnamon was an official family member. They renamed her Rosie to celebrate her new life. They transitioned her slowly by putting their other Pit Bull, Blu, in a separate room.
But Rosie knew he was in there and continued to whine at the door. She wanted to get to him. And Blu whined too!
They united the dogs even though they intended to transition them slowly, and it was love and first sniff!

While Rosie had a rough start, she’s now officially a Shelton. Her sad days are over for good. No more tears, sweet girl. Only smiles.

Dogs like Rosie/Cinnamon need homes. The shelters, including kill shelters, are overcrowded in every state.
Please consider opening your heart and home to a dog like Rosie. If you can’t, then please pass along her story. All dogs deserve a happy life!

Dog Seen Outside Of Store With A Sign Around His Neck:
Animal lovers have a lot to say about this story but regardless of what you may think, this is one SMART DOG!
Steve Moore rescued Jackson, a three-year-old Golden Retriever, from the shelter. Jackson needed a home and Moore stepped up to the plate. Moore took Jackson in and began working with him every day. In just a month, Moore had him trained to do something PHENOMENAL! His “trick” had every passerby that saw Jackson, wanting this dog for themselves… a dog NO ONE showed interest in just a month prior.
Moore took Jackson to high traffic, busy areas so he could work with him while getting used to the noises and distractions around him. He had Jackson sit and stay. Then he had him sit and stay for a longer period of time. Then, he had him sit and stay while he walked away from him. He did this repeatedly UNTIL Jackson could be left on his own long enough for Moore to go inside of a store and get his errands done. Since dogs are not allowed in most stores, this was a better alternative to leaving him in a car where he could overheat. Plus, he wouldn’t be tied up, so if an emergency should happen, Jackson could run to safety.
The final stage was to get him to sit and stay WHILE wearing a sign around his neck. “Dad told me to wait here. Me waiting.” And Jackson is really good at waiting! Even with commotion around him and people walking up to say “hi” and give him pets, Jackson waits, FAITHFULLY for his human to return. Now that’s a GOOD BOY!

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.
Source: StoryTrender/YouTube
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.
