A sad dog story that ends in a happy life for two disabled dogs; Eve and Dillon

Two dogs who found each other and became great friends

Eve was found abandoned on Christmas Eve when she was a nine week old puppy. 

She was in a bad way as it had been snowing hard. 

She was freezing to death. She did recover but is deaf and only has one working eye. 

She ended up at the Marley's Mutts Dogs Shelter. 

She is eleven months old but found it hard to socialise with the other dogs due to her loss of hearing and limited sight.

But when another disabled dog was also handed in to the Dog Shelter life became so much better for Eve

Dillon is two years old. He is blind and his owner put him in boarding kennels but did not come back to retrieve him. Dillon was then passed on to the shelter a few weeks ago.

When the dogs met they formed a bond instantly.
They use each others available senses to get around and have both grown in confidence. They became inseparable very quickly.

The staff at the dog shelter were hoping the dogs could be adopted together.
They were not optimistic though because both are cross breeds and large dogs.
Then there were the disabilities to consider too.

They have a Facebook Page where they have photos and the stories of each dog that is available for adoption. Eve had already been on the Facebook Page for a while and a potential new owner had come to visit the shelter to see her. When she saw how the two dogs were together and the love they had for each other she did not have the heart to separate them.

So now both Eve and Dillon have found a loving home and an eleven year old pal too

Both these dogs had a very sad and cruel start in life.

But they found each other just in time to become part of a family

Eve and Dillon happy in their new home together

The dogs that help children who have Autism and Aspergers Syndrome

Most people have read and know about Assistance or Service Dogs for the Blind.

Assistance Dogs in training for Autistic Children

But there are also Assistance dogs or Service Dogs for children with Autism and Aspergers Syndrome.

There are amazing videos of these dogs at work with the children with autism.  There are news reports too where we can see interviews with the parents and in some cases with the children with Aspergers Syndrome.

We hear from the kids how having an Assistance dog has changed their lives for the better.  

Below in this article I have given a full list of links for these Organizations that provide Assistance and Service Dogs in all the major countries.

Here is a great story about an English Bull Terrier called Nellie.

Nellie the English Bull Terrier who digs up truffles in her back garden.

Nellie the English Bull Terrier is owned by a couple in the UK and has been digging up their garden since 2007.

The owners were at first annoyed until they realized what she was looking for.

She was finding and digging up truffles. 

Black Autumn Truffles to be precise lol.

It is great to hear a nice story about this breed of dog.

English Bull Terriers make wonderful pets.

My belief is that if you treat your dogs with respect and kindness they will be loving and gentle pets.

Truffles are extremely hard to come by and almost unheard of in the UK.

The owners make around £1000 a year by selling the truffles and say it pays for some of the upkeep of their much loved family dog.

Dogs are worth our love and kindness!

Dogs as pets and friends


If you have a dog as a family member then you will appreciate all the love and joy they give you.

Dogs give you unconditional love and are well worth the time and effort that it takes to look after them properly.

Abandoned Puppy 

It has been scientifically proven that some dogs have the intelligence and understanding at the level of human toddlers.

If you treat them right then you can expect a wonderful loving relationship with your pet dog.

Puppies abandoned again after Christmas

Why do people do it!


Another sad story of poor little dogs and puppies thrown out on the street to die.


I understand if new dog owners suddenly realise that they can not look after their dogs but why do they just throw them out in the street to die.


There are plenty of Dog homes and shelters all over the world that will take in unwanted dogs for free


These cute puppies are up for adoption in North Wales in the UK.


But if your are moved by their stories please contact your own local Dogs Shelter and offer a dog or puppy a new loving home.


The full story of what happened to these puppies are in this article below

A heart warming story of a dog left abandoned but saved

This is the video story of a pit bull dog who was abandoned and left to die.
He was rescued by the dog charity who drove three hours to get to him.
He was scared and sick.
They approached very slowly until they gained the dog's trust.
We see how his health progresses after one week, then two weeks until he is fully healthy at ten weeks.
We also see Gideon as they called him transform into a happy and playful dog.
He is now up for adoption.

Two Dogs fall off a cliff and survive!

Here is a good news story about two dogs who fell off a 70 foot cliff in Cornwall in the UK and got up running.

Bomber and Blitz were out have a good time with there owners on holiday in Cornwall.  They had been walking on the cliffs at Porthleven and then Blitz decided he wanted a rest.  

The border collie sat down on the grass beside the edge of the cliff.  Bomber,  decided he still wanted to play.  So the Springer Spaniel ran up to Blitz too quickly and they both went flying over the edge of the cliff. 

Their owner said, 

'I had my back turned when it happened.
I was just about to take a picture and then I heard a load of commotion.
I turned round and could only look down, my heart was in my throat. We saw that Bomber jumped up straight away and ran off.Blitz stayed there for a couple of seconds and then got up. 'We found a little path down to where they were, I couldn’t believe what had happened.'

Bomber and Blitz

The dogs were taken straight to the vet but both were fine.  They had a very luck escape.  

I often see dogs out with their owners who are too close to  the edge of cliffs and mountains.  

But luckily for these two family dogs, Bomber and Blitz both survived their fall with no injuries accept shock.

Here is a collection of Before and After photographs of dogs who were rescued.
