Officer Kyle Canaan of the Norman, Oklahoma police department got a rather strange call on Tuesday morning when he was asked to deal with a lost donkey that had wandered onto a busy road. Once he arrived on the scene, however, the two became the best of buddies, and “Squishy,” as the donkey was named, ended up being moved in the officer’s cruiser to protect it from traffic.

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...

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.

I was looking for a special needs dog to adopt and found Daisy in the summer of 2011. She was born with a congenital deformity in her front legs and uses a wheelchair to assist her walk. After learning that disabled dogs have a difficult time finding a forever home and are usually the first ones to be listed to euthanize at the shelter, I was heartbroken.

One of the biggest issues for animal shelters nation-wide is that some regions are overflowing with adoptable dogs while others never have enough. Wings Of Rescue, an extraordinary volunteer organization run by dedicated pilots, flies dogs from shelters overflowing with animals to those that can find them new homes. Often, the dogs they transport would have been euthanized hours later if it weren’t for these pilots.

Human beings can be cruel beyond imagination. It's always horrible to hear stories about the vile nature of man without actually witnessing it firsthand. Unfortunately (and fortunately), these bikers witnessed the horrors of man on the side of the road.

There's no excuse for the cruelty so many people exhibit when abandoning a pet. Whether it's on the side of the road, out in a field, or in a parking lot, it's completely unacceptable when there are so many more humane options for those who feel they can't (or simply don't want to) take care of their animals. Two years ago, someone decided to not just abandon their 10 tiny puppies, but to do so by throwing them in a dumpster.

Winter doesn’t just bring snow and cold weather. With it also comes the festive season that many have been waiting for the whole year. Even though we often perceive Christmas merely as a holiday to give and receive gifts, spend time with our families and decorate our homes, it never hurts to include more meaning into the holiday.

Recently, a Wildlife Hospital in the U.K. had an especially flamboyant-looking ‘patient’. Some good people saw the poor bright orange bird on the side of the road that was unable to fly. The kind people took it to the Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital to make sure it was okay. Turns out, the bird was neither tropical nor exotic – just a curious seagull that somehow got himself all covered in curry.

Venezuela resembles a land from a post-apocalyptic novel. You can see modern skyscrapers but cannot charge your phone. You can have a computer, a mobile and a flat-screen TV but still have to cook on wood-burning stoves. While shopping it’s more practical to weight money rather than count it. Millions of people are running away from the country and those who stay, often starve.
