When pups are in severe danger from abusive owners, sometimes animal rescues have to resort to extreme measures in order to save them. However, it can occasionally arise that all the neighborhood rallies in the world might not be enough to rescue the desperate fur ball. That was the case for pit bull Lucy in Egypt. Her owner had abused her severely, resulting in both sides of her jaw being broken. A rescue group in Cairo heard about her suffering and attempted to rescue her, but the owner refused to give her to them. The worst part was that Lucy’s owner was also the shelter’s landlord, and getting on his bad side might spell disaster for the business. The broken jaw meant Lucy couldn’t eat food that hadn’t been specially mixed. The rescue group was deeply concerned that waiting too long would mean the worst for Lucy, and they contacted Special Needs Animal Rescue & Rehabilitation (SNARR) for help. They discussed all possibilities and hatched a plan that would save the poor pup from her abusive owner. What was this plan? To fake her death. In order to carry out the plan, they told Lucy’s owner that she had passed away, then quickly flew her to JFK airport, where volunteers sprang into action. They took Lucy to a veterinarian, where she was diagnosed with infection from her injured jaw. According to the vet, “the injuries showed that she was either kicked or hit with something strong, like a brick”, said Lauren Connelly of SNARR. For months, vets worked on reconstructing Lucy’s jaw. She earned the nickname Licky Lou because she could only lap up dog food soup with her tongue during the process. But finally, the surgery was completed and she emerged healthy, with an adorable underbite. Lucy now lives in a foster home with a foster mommy and daddy and three fellow human siblings and. Despite the abuse she suffered, she is friendly and sweet and loves to befriend other humans and pups! She’s a bit shy around men she’s never met, but she’s doing well and is happy and healthy! Want to help Lucy find a forever home? Visit SNARR on Facebook! Don’t forget to like and share!

In a little pet store in Taiwan, a beautiful friendship has been blooming. A puppy and a kitten live in two enclosures right next to each other and see each other every day through the glass. But they’ve never been able to meet without the partition. At least, not until tonight. While the puppy lies listlessly in his enclosure, lonely and without anyone to play with, the kitten sees his sadness and longs to spend time with her friend to cheer him up. So, she attempts a feat worthy of a superhero. The little kitten discovers that she can fit her head through the gap on the top of the enclosure and does just that. She leaps up, squeezing herself through. Her puppy friend sees what she’s doing and rushes forward to watch. In an incredible stunt, she swings over so that she’s hanging on to the opening at the top of his enclosure. The puppy runs to greet her and tries to pull her in. After a bit of effort, she manages to fit her way through! Amazing! This is one action star who will give the Mission Impossible franchise a run for its money! Take a look at this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVvvgzndSZY This kitten pulled off a fantastic stunt out of love and friendship for her pup bestie. Her heartwarming actions mean that the two of them can now play together and snuggle up with each other. That definitely counts as a fantastic victory! Did this video make your day?

There are now four states in America that have passed a law making it legal to break the window of a car to save children and animals trapped in cars under the heat. Wisconsin is the newest addition to these states, along with Tennessee, Florida, and Ohio. Meanwhile, California, New York, and Massachusetts are also considering passing similar “hot car” bills. This law was signed by Scott Walker, a Wisconsin governor, back in November, but this is the first summer that this law will be put into effect. It allows for concerned bystanders to smash open a window to save a dog from the heat under certain conditions. You must believe that the person or pet in the car is genuinely endanger, and you must first ensure that their door is not unlocked. Before you bust them out, you must call 911 or inform law enforcement. After committing the deed, you have to either wait until the cops or the car owner arrives, or leave a note including who you are and what you’ve done. Last year, there were 25 cases of child fatalities due to being locked inside a hot car, and many, many more of pet fatalities. Hopefully, this new law will change that! Take a look at this video https://youtu.be/zmJe7l0-jc4 Cory Smith, the director of public policy for companion animals with the Humane Society of the United States, said this law would “increase bandwidth of first response agencies and even better rely on community members to help each other out in crisis”. He also added, “Most people who leave a pet in a hot car do not do so out of malice, and never expect their ‘quick errand’ to result in tragedy. These Good Samaritan laws can prevent tragedies for people and pets.” Don’t forget to like and share this good news! Feature Image Source: Sir Winston/Instagram
