Sara Melnicoff was going for a morning walk with her 13-year-old dog Carli when the pooch was suddenly swept away by the raging waters of Mill Creek, US. “I was going to take my shoes off and go in the water to try to get her, when this young man appeared out of nowhere and stripped down to his boxers. He plunged into the water, making his way along the slippery rocks, while the powerful currents of the water rushed all around him.”

Malnourished and abused, Gorgi approached a Puerto Rico Police command center in the city of Bayamón. These fearful steps were about to change his life for good. The officers were surprised by how friendly he was despite his apparently difficult past, and seeing how he enjoyed their company, they decided to adopt him.

Michael J. Baines feeds about 80 stray dogs in Chonburi, Thailand every day. The 48-year-old has been doing that for the last 5 years now. Baines provides them with a mixture of dry dog food, rice, oil, steamed fish, or chicken on his way to work, when he drives to the forest to walk his own dogs, or when he’s going back home. The man also feeds any dogs that he sees outside his restaurant.

These awesome pictures were taken by Chris Iles, 44, a dog walker who’s based in Los Gatos, California. The question on everyone’s lips is of course… “How does he get them to pose?”

Dogs are protective of their owners, but Cyrus, a 2-year-old Bullmastiff from Perth, Western Australia, takes it to a whole new level. He watches his owner Lauren Birney all the time, literally. And it started getting awkward.

So you're a dog lover. You watch a cute puppy video on Youtube and fall asleep in your big, comfy bed and that's nice. A dog parent, though, has less time for such videos, and even less space in bed - it belongs to the dog now. And it's just one of the many differences between loving and having dogs seen by illustrator Kelly Angel.

Some time ago, we wrote about kids who read to shelter cats, and now there’s a similar campaign for dogs! At this Missouri Humane Society, the Shelter Buddies Reading Program pairs kids age 6 to 15 with fearful dogs to prepare them for life in a forever home. After completing a 10 hour training program, the kids sit in front of a she dog’s kennel and read to them from a book.

You know how dog-owners often speculate their dogs cover tons more ground when they take them out for a run? I decided to put it to the test, by putting a GPS unit on my dog, Simba, and one on myself, as we took a couple of hikes. I then put the recordings into Google Earth, playing simultaneously, to show a bird’s-eye-view of a typical walk with my energetic hound.

Bella the service dog stole the show at Valerie and Andrew Parrot’s wedding on January 9th. The concerned pooch was photographed taking care of his owner, Valerie, by Maddie Peschong of Mad Photo and Design. Bella is trained to notice when Valarie is nervous or in distress, and distracts her to calm her down. Bella accompanied the couple to the altar.

I just want to wish happy holidays to everyone with a couple Christmas-themed dog portraits that I took. Every dog deserves a Christmas present! Sometimes people get confused seeing these kind of pics, so here’s a disclaimer: we took these photos with LOVE, therefore no dogs were harmed in the process. They were not forced, they did it willingly for tasty bits of super delicious treats. :)

Do dogs dream of flying? Cats most certainly do – the sky is full of crunchy snacks – but what's in it for a dog? Nevertheless, Claudio Piccoli takes pictures of flying dogs. Or dogs that jumped real high in pursuit of frisbees. Late at night, you can hear whispers in the kennels telling the story of Ruffian, a terrier that jumped so high he went into space…

Last year, Nassau, Bahamas resident Rosie Kemp found a baby raccoon that had fallen out of a tree. The mother was nowhere to be found, so Kemp and her daughter Laura Young decided to adopt the little bandit and named her “Pumpkin.” Eventually, Pumpkin recovered from her injuries and moved in with Young and her husband. “She instantly bonded with us and our two rescue dogs and follows me and our two dogs everywhere we go,” Young told The Dodo. “She now thinks she is a dog… she is able to play...

In January of 2013, while attending the Chobi Mela Photo Festival in Dhaka, Bangladesh, I came across Robindra Shorbod, a small park in the South West of Dhaka that is home to around 10 street kids. Street kids that beg for money, collect plastic containers to sell for recycling and most importantly, share every ounce of food they earn with the 10 dogs that live with them.

Seeking adventure, I loaded my furry bestie, Baylor the Dog, into the sidecar, hopped on the motorcycle and started riding to Alaska. Now 6,000 miles later we made it to Alaska, faced bears, camped for free, got stranded on the side of the road, broke the bike, fixed the bike, and discovered the goodness of people on the road. The Operation Moto Dog journey continues as we conquer all of North America – every US state, each Canadian province and Mexico!

This sick dog was found by Indian organization Animal Aid Unlimited. It was suffering from mange, and clearly had had no human contact in a long time. They brought him to their shelter and tried to interest him in some food. Animal Aid Unlimited hooked the dog up to an IV and treated his infections, and within ten days, his skin was healed.

My name is Maija Astikainen and I’m a photographer from Helsinki, Finland. I’ve been photographing pet dogs for several years for my project ‘One-Dog Policy’. I’m interested in the way we think of pets as something in between human and animal, and started exploring that in my photography project. Pets are often humanized, treated as family members and “furry babies”. Simultaneously they represent fragments of wild nature in our homes, and humanlike creatures just like us.

I am an amateur photographer from Germany and my Golden Retriever called Mali is my favourite photo motive. I could make these extraordinary photos because Mali is very loving and patient with other small animals. Here’s my previous post with more photos of him!

This is Kelsey. She was found on the side of the road in horrible condition. Her body was infested with parasites that ate away at her skin. Her body type and bulging ribs was an indication that she was starving to death. But then she met a kind stranger who somehow convinced Kelsey to get into his car.

People say that money can't buy happiness, but those people have never paid an adoption fee. If you are thinking of adding a four-legged baby to your life, please visit your local shelter and check out rescues. There are always animals looking for a loving forever home. If you cannot adopt, then consider becoming a foster; foster homes create space in shelters, all while giving a pet a comfortable place to stay, which means that animals don't have to be put to sleep to make room in...

In a world where every man and his dog are taking selfies, we found some doggies that seem to love themselves more than we thought. This is what happened when they get hold of our camera.
