We will tell the story today of a big-hearted man who has decided to change his life … and many others.

Just like New Year’s, July 4 isn’t exactly a holiday for most pups. In fact, fireworks and other loud noises can even make it a nightmare. And, while our family furballs have the commodity of hiding under the bed, shelter dogs aren’t so lucky. However, one shelter came up with a brilliant idea to help these homeless pups relax through the blasting holiday.

People say that money can't buy happiness, but those people have never paid an adoption fee.

The Zwick family had been living in their home in Neenah, Wisconsin for over a decade. They always knew there was a metal door hidden in the ground in their backyard, but they never thought to explore it before. Then, one day, the family decided to crack open the metal hatch.

Heartbreaking Paintings of Deceased Shelter Dogs (10 photo)

Just like photographer Traer Scott and her heartbreaking portraits of shelter dogs, artist Mark Barone is trying to bring some much needed attention to the neglected animals in shelters. After learning that 5,500 shelter dogs are killed every day in the United States, he decided to paint 5,500 portraits of actual shelter dogs with names and the date that they were killed. Now two years into the project, Barone has painted more than 3,500 portraits which, for any dog lover, are incredibly hard to look at.
