Rick Broz is a police officer from Lorain, Ohio, who has dedicated his entire life to protecting animals from human abuse. In his town, he is known for his incredible workmanship and huge heart when it comes to animals.

One day at the Lorain police station, they received an anonymous call to report a small dog found outside an abandoned house. Officer Broz immediately went looking for that puppy, but to his surprise, the pet was in a very critical condition.

Arriving at the place, he found Herbie on the ground. He was emaciated and it seemed incredible that he was still alive despite it. This little dog was some kind of pitbull cross and he couldn’t get up or move from that spot.

Among the description the officer provided, he mentioned that Herbie was blind in one eye, had head injuries and a small fracture. As a result of these damages, his head was also slightly swollen and through his eyes there was a large amount of yellowish discharge due to an infection. The little boy’s weight was half the weight he should have and his skin reflected almost perfectly each of his bones.

Officer Broz wasted no time in mobilizing the dog to the nearest veterinary clinic. There the doctors recognized his delicate state and did not give much hope of a recovery. However, Herbie did not take long to recover, since the little one was very strong and managed to advance in his recovery at a speed that surprised the doctors themselves, managing to regain weight and fully move again.

When the little boy’s health improved, Officer Broz did not hesitate to take him home on days off to play with him: he took him for walks and runs in the park. I really enjoyed playing with him.

After many tests, it was discovered that Herbie had adenocarcinoma, which is a type of cancer that cannot be treated. This sad news prevented the little one from being adopted, but luckily for him, Broz made sure to be with the little one for the rest of his days, assuring him the best life anyone could give him.

The park became their favorite place, where they played and ran until they dropped. Despite the news, Broz only cared about making Herbie happy, regardless of whether he would live for a day or 10 years.

The loyalty of pets towards their humans is undoubtedly an example that when you truly love, there are no limits to anything. Demonstrating that a good relationship between pets and people can make a difference in times of trouble.

For this reason, it is not strange to find stories where pets risk everything in order to keep their human parents safe when they know they are threatened. Doing everything in their power to protect what they love so much.

In this case, it is the story of a heroic dog named Morocho, who managed to save the lives of his human father’s daughters. All this in the midst of a tense and threatening moment that seemed to be lost for the little girls and a confrontation from which Morocho seemed to be the loser.

The event in question took place in Argentina, in a rural area dedicated to agricultural and field production. There, Morocho had been bred as a hunting dog, or ‘dogo’ as it is commonly known in Argentina.

Everything was going well until, in the afternoon, the two little daughters of the father of the family decided to go out to pick fruit. The girls were quite trusting, as they used to go there daily and climb on the trees to collect what they wanted.

However, this time the danger was imminent, because in the middle of the bush, there was a puma waiting for its prey. So it didn’t take long for him to run towards the girls, but they realized the threat and ran back to their home.

Obviously, the balance was tipping in favor of the puma and he was getting closer to catching the two girls. However, it was then that Morocho appeared and pounced on the puma to contain it.

Fortunately, Morocho had closely followed the little girls when they had left the house and was watching them closely. Since it is a hunting dog, Morocho managed to face the puma and fight it while the girls were safe inside their home and notified their father of what had happened.

Morocho not only contained the puma, but also managed to defeat it given his upbringing as a hunting dog. Thanks to his agility, he barely had a few scratches on his face and came out alive after the match.

Now, Morocho is known by all Internet users as a true hero for his valuable intervention. Reminding people how valuable the company of a pet can be in any setting.

Many times friendship is not found in those we expect, but by chance life introduces us to these special beings. In the case of the animal world, the species seems to be a barrier that friendship does not know and can easily overcome.

This time, it is the story of an adorable monkey who found, in nothing less than a cat, her best friend who would help her continue living fully.

It all started when lifeguards from a shelter in India, specifically located in the town of Dhanotu, found themselves face to face with a little monkey abandoned to its fate. Apparently, she had been left in the middle of the streets with signs of having suffered an accident in which she was electrocuted.

The monkey, who had been christened Avni, had burns all over her body and had apparently been left there by the family that had adopted her. Despite the fact that the rescuers found what used to be Avni’s house, the people there did not want to take care of it at all and had abandoned it on purpose.

For this reason, the monkey was transferred to a Peepal shelter, where they could provide better care. The result of being exposed to a source of electricity and being burned had rendered one of her arms useless, to the point where vets had no choice but to amputate it.

The recovery took longer than expected, but not from the physical injuries, but from the little monkey’s state of mind. Well, despite the fact that in a couple of months her physical condition was much better, Avni looked quite depressed.

It was clear that having been rejected by those who had once given her a home had left her quite devastated. To the point where there were days when she didn’t eat or leave her cage to play with other animals.

But everything changed when the monkey was approached by a cat named Billo, who, despite having been in the shelter for years, never came to interact with Avni until then. Although at first the monkey was somewhat suspicious, it didn’t take long for her to give the cat a chance and they became best friends with her.

Animals that are abandoned on the streets must go through very difficult tests, but they are not the only ones that must face such situations. Well, even when pets are taken to shelters, sometimes they are not cared for as they should and they suffer during their stay.

This is the case of a dog that had been baptized as Alex, who despite having been rescued from the streets by Vermillion Parish Rabies Animal Control, his physical and health status did not improve at all. while I was there.

Alex had been picked up from the streets of New Orleans, weighing just 20kg. It was in this same state that the deputy director of the Southern Animal Foundation, a woman named Deanna Theis, saw a photo of the dog and knew she had to intervene immediately.

Mrs. Theis knew that if Alex wasn’t removed from that shelter, he probably wouldn’t survive. Fortunately, getting the dog out of the place was not complicated at all and they managed to take it to a care center to assess the origin of his problems.

During the veterinary clinical check-ups, they managed to reveal that poor Alex had had to go to eat stones and plant branches to satisfy his hunger and try to fill his stomach. This caused different objects to stay lodged in the middle of his intestine.

For this reason, Alex underwent an operation to free him from pain and remove the elements that were lodged inside him. Fortunately, the intervention was successful and the dog recovered slowly, but with enough drive and will to live he managed to get ahead.

It didn’t take long for a family to take an interest in adopting him, and he was taken in by a woman named Diane Lundeen. The two got along so well that Alex gained 3 kg in just a week after being adopted.

As Diane revealed, when she met Alex, the dog had a haunting look and his ribs were palpable. But now, those same eyes do nothing but shine with love and gratitude, because they know they have found a forever home.

Bonnie’s story is very crude , even without knowing the minor details, just by looking at her face and body it can be determined that it couldn’t have been worse. In it, the inclemency of her mistreatment is observed, leaving her muzzle mutilated, amputating her left front leg and cutting her tail.

The picture presented by this  affectionate  dog is heartbreaking , but even if it seems difficult, it is even more complicated, because she spent a lot of time on the streets. When she suddenly, fate or luck made her reach out to her, a friendly hand, and thus, Beacon Animal Rescue Center, takes her to the shelter to heal and give her the necessary attention.

His condition was very delicate. Due to the exposure of the wounds, it was difficult for him to eat, he could not walk properly , in short, it was almost impossible to get him to have a normal life again. At that point she thought about her way out of making her sleep forever and thus end her suffering.

Publishing his story was the best idea

Undoubtedly, many were those who supported Bonnie through messages on social networks, but the one who really took the idea of ​​changing the life of this affectionate dog very seriously was the American Kate Comfort.

Just as Bonnie had obstacles that disturbed her life and health, it was not so easy for this lady to be able to adopt the dog; One of her impediments was that she already had 3 dogs at home, and another was convincing her husband to accept not only having another pet, but one under these special conditions.

But the effort was so great in wanting to give peace and happiness to this tormented canine , that she finally achieved her adoption and with this she was able to close the chapters of needs, streets, deficiencies, and above all, the violence that she sadly experienced. She will now have love in a reciprocal way.

Social networks change lives

This story begins to be noticed since the shelter staff publishes the dire conditions in which this canine was found. Step followed by commenting and sharing; with this he manages to reach Kate Comfort, who was the one who writes the last part of this story where everything glimpses happiness .

Having help in difficult times can make the difference between being victorious or losing in the process. Especially if it’s a small injured animal that can barely communicate its need for care.

Fortunately, there are people who are able to answer this call no matter where it comes from. So they stop to help the little animals that beg for a little help.

A small kitten abandoned alone in the middle of the streets was afraid of dying without any other remedy, when he was rescued by a person who listened to his little cries for help.

The little animal was totally disoriented, not only because of the badly injured state it was in, but because it probably hadn’t eaten in days. In addition, the poor animal could not open its eyes, with the right part of its body being the most affected.

It is unknown who could have left the cat there in those conditions, or if the small animal was the victim of an attack by a larger one or even the cruelty of a human being. What was clear was that the little cat needed urgent care, so the person who stopped to help didn’t waste much more time and got to work.

The first step was to take the kitten to a safer place, so after carefully approaching the little feline baby so as not to scare it, the person carefully put it in a box to move it. Upon reaching a safer place, the person tried to disinfect the kitten’s wounds, but it was a difficult process for the poor animal who was obviously suffering.

Following this, the kitten was given an antibiotic to treat those skin conditions, followed by a bowl of food which the little animal was grateful for. Once the small animal managed to regain strength, the person decided to take it home so that the little one could fully recover.

After a few weeks, the kitten could be seen to have fully recovered its spirits. The wounds on his skin healed and his eyes already showed the characteristic shine of a happy cat.

The process of this rescue was captured in a video that was later shared on the YouTube platform. Where thousands of people have had the opportunity to see it and empathize with the noble cause of rescuing those little ones who find themselves in these situations.

A Texas family who lost their dog three years ago were overjoyed when they received a call telling them that she had been found—how she ended up in Indiana, over 1,000 miles away, remains a mystery.

Sugar Land mom 28-year-old Katrina Skelton, along with her husband, Mark, adopted fur baby Daisy before their first child was even born. They had rescued Daisy from a local animal shelter when she was a 12-week-old puppy, Katrina said.

“For the first year of us having Daisy, it was just me, her, and my husband,” Katrina told The Epoch Times. “She was our first baby. We had her for four years before she went missing.”

The dog disappeared in February 2019. “Our back fence gate got left open, and she escaped with our other dog while we were all playing in the backyard,” the mom said. “We found our other dog a few hours later, but Daisy was nowhere around.”

They had no leads as to where she’d gone. The family posted pictures of her on Facebook groups and used website PawBoost to get the word out. They posted signs all around their area and checked local shelters for weeks and months after Daisy vanished.

“We would drive around the area calling her name the first few days and anytime someone contacted us thinking they had seen her,” Katrina said.

They checked online almost every day to see if her microchip had been scanned.

“I don’t think we ever really gave up looking,” Katrina said. “She was always on our minds. My older son Jackson would even talk about her randomly.”

Years passed. Until on Jan. 4, Mark got a call from one Tiffany Clay, from Marion, Indiana, who had found Daisy.

“Daisy walked into their backyard, and Tiffany took her to the vet to scan for a microchip,” said Katrina. They received an email from the chip company as well, reporting the find.

Somehow, Daisy traveled 1,200 miles from her Sugar Land home all the way to the northern Indiana city.

Katrina said she was “shocked and excited” and “couldn’t believe it.” Almost immediately, they set out on a 17-hour marathon road trip—one that taught Katrina a few things about life, as she later posted on her Facebook page.

Among these, she noted: “I truly hate the cold;” “Daisy is amazing on long drives;” “Mark is my favorite copilot;” “Driving doesn’t totally suck;” “Texas is my favorite country;” and last but not least, “Kind people still exist.”

Upon reuniting with Daisy, though it took a moment to sink in, she soon recognized her family.

“My husband, Mark, took his hat off, and it was like a lightbulb went off,” Katrina said. “Daisy started barking excitedly and snuggling into our arms!”

Although Daisy seemed very healthy, Katrina added, like she had been fed and cared for, they nevertheless took her to the vet after returning to Texas; finding out that she had heartworms, they started her on a treatment regime.

All in all, Katrina said “she’s doing well at home” but they “have to keep her activity level low to make sure she gets lots of rest.” Their old pastime of walking in the dog park is on hold until Daisy is all rested up.

For now, Katrina added, “We are just enjoying having her back home” and are “just loving on her and spending as much time with her as we can.”

Today, the boys are much bigger than three years ago, when Daisy made her departure. But she’s making up for lost time. Katrina said, “She’s back to following the boys around like they’re her babies. It’s like they never missed a day together.”
