It is natural that some animal mothers reject their babies at birth. There are so many reasons for this. But the problem is that the rejected offspring finds it very difficult to survive on its own and it needs some external help.

The same happened with this sweet panther who got herself in a difficult situation after getting rejected shortly after birth. She was all alone in a Siberian zoo when a kind woman and her dog came forward to help the panther.

The name of the panther is Luna. At present, Luna lives a wonderful life surrounded by happiness with the woman who saved her life and the Rottweiler who is her best friend.

However, her life was not very easy in the beginning when she was rejected by her mother at the time of her birth. At that time, it was not possible for her even to survive. But at the time, this woman came and saved her life.

The name of the woman is Victoria who had earlier also raised and cared for other wild cats. She grew very fond of Luna and decided to help her. So she started visiting the zoo every day to hand feed and care for the lovely panther.

After panther grew strong and healthy, she decided to adopt her. She bought the panther from the zoo and took her home.

At first, Victoria was doubtful as she was having Venza-  a lovely dog and she was having this fear that maybe both won’t get along too well. But she was proved wrong as they were inseparable since they met. Both are great friends now and they love to play together.

Luna is now 10 months old and she is very spoiled. Victoria shares the pictures of Luna and Venza on TikTok and Instagram and they both are very famous there. These two furry buddies are extremely adorable.

For some animals, life becomes very difficult. Sometimes humans did not treat them well as a result, they are afraid of humans. In some cases, the animals are discarded and seen lying hopeless and without help on the roads and pavements.

The same thing happened with this dog named Liza. The dog suffered due to the savageness of the people. At the time when the dog was found, it was very weak and fragile. The dog was so weak that she was not able to walk. Looking at her, it was difficult to say that she would survive.

The dog was even pregnant at that time. When a shelter came to know about the poor condition of the dog, they rushed to help the dog. Though they saved the dog’s life yet they were unable to save the lives of her puppies.

The staff at the shelter made every possible way to improve the health of the dog. It was quite difficult to cure the dog as she was very weak.

The dog was well fed and now it is much better. But due to the ill-treatment, the dog is very much afraid of the people. The dog runs away from people. She is frightened by the sight of the people. So she needs special treatment to cure her totally.

The dog goes for walk regularly and takes a lot of pleasure in the nature and surrounding environment.

We hope that the dog gets well soon and she is treated for her illness. The fact is that we humans should have some humanity while we are treating animals.

Music always had healing powers on human kind, yet apparently not only people loves it, but animals as well. And I am sure that many of us have spotted – at least once – animals enjoying some good music. After all, the internet is full of adorable footages of dogs and kittens showing their (sometimes silly) dancing moves.

Nevertheless, not only our pets love good music, but other animals too. In this particular situation, it is a horse who stepped forward to charm the audience with his dancing routine. And not any horse, but a police horse. Needless to mention it happened in the line of duty. Hopely, his bosses will first have a look on his performance, before reprimand him!

While on patrol on the streets of New Orleans, this police horse and his NOPD officer, came across a Jazz band performing. The song proved so catchy, the horse immediately started to show his dance moves, right there in the middle of the street. Unsurprisingly, the moment left everyone open mouthed. After all, how often you get the chance to see a horse dancing on the streets?!

The music and the atmosphere were so catchy, the horse left behind any of his duties. All that mattered was to show the world what a skilful dancer he is. Of course, the officer proved to be a loyal comrade and encouraged his four-legged colleague. Fortunately the beautiful moment was caught on camera and shortly became some pure internet gold!

“Only in New Orleans,” was one person’s reaction after watching the adorable scene. “What a fantastic scene! The music, the dancing… I love the way the officer never loses composure during the whole thing, he really just lets his horse be the real performer,” another one wrote. While one user described New Orleans and its vibe as “the most unique city…fabulous music and the friendliest people.”

Watch the beautiful moment, bellow:

While animals and humans may not look the same, it’s hard to deny the incredible similarities they share. Just like human beings, animals are capable of joy and grief – and every time such an emotional moment comes along – just remind us how alike we actually are. Such a heart-melting moment recently unfolded and the remarkable story quickly gained worldwide attention. Two former circus elephants reunited after 22 years apart and the captured footage left everyone in tears.

Taken at the Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee, we see the incredible moment Shirley and Jenny recognize each other for the first time after over two decades apart. Not only is the reunion emotional, but it serves as a sobering reminder that these animals have the capacity to feel love just like we do.

The keepers are just as emotional as they watch the elephants meet for the first time in years. With anticipation in their eyes, they take in the beautiful moment as the elephants suddenly recognize each other through the gates. What happens next will leave you in tears, as they wrap their trunks around each other in a loving embrace. See the incredible moment two former circus elephants reunite in the emotional below – this story never gets old!

In some absolutely heart-melting scene, a baby elephant receives comfort and affection from a new herd, after he lost his mother. The emotional moment happened at the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust – an elephant orphanage – and it shows once again these creatures are special beyond human imagination.

Founded in 1977 by Dame Daphne Sheldrick, in the memory of her husband, David Sheldrick – the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust has rescued and rehabilitated countless orphan elephants over the years. But among them, there was a particularly situation – involving a one-year-old rescue – that melted everyone’s heart.

A couple of year ago, while surveilling the Tiva River area in the Tsavo East National Park,Kenya, by plane, a team from the sanctuary noticed a baby elephant wondering all alone on the river’s banks. They immediately realized something’s wrong, so a rescue team was sent on the field. Soon they got there, the rescuers came across an exhausted calf that was desperately crying for his mum. Unfortunately, the mother was long gone, but luckily for him, he meet the nicest people.

Once they brought him at the orphanage, the one year-old elephant, later named Mukkoka undergone a medical evaluation, the he was properly fed with the Sheldrick orphanage’s magical milk formula and within days he miraculously recovered. Nevertheless, life is nothing but tough for an orphan elephant, so the volunteers decided to introduce Mukkoka to the her, hoping he’ll find at least some little comfort.

But the way his new family greeted him at first sight, left everyone speechless. Just like they all new about what he has been through, the whole herd gathered around him and gently touched him with their trunks, like they were saying – “baby, you are not alone anymore, we are here for you!” The image of the moment quickly won everyone’s heart.

“They immediately enveloped him and led him out into the forest to meet the rest of the nursery herd,” Rob Brandford, executive director at the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust said. “The greeting he was met with was a warm one, with the other babies reaching out their trunks to comfort and welcome Mukkoka as a new family member.”

Even though elephants are well known as being overprotective when comes to their babies – even if not their own – and extremely social animals, on the other hand, moments like this amaze us to the bottom of the heart.

Nature is so ruthless sometimes. And there are animals who need to endure some real though conditions in order to survive. Siberia is definitely a place like this. Only the strongest could survive in this frozen land. And for a little bear cub life is nothing but easy.

Earlier this week a video showing a mother bear and his months-old cub are trying to climb a snowy mountainside. The dramatic footage was initially shared by ‘What Did I Just Watch’ and it immediately went viral with over 60 millions views in just a couple of days.

What makes this video absolutely incredible is the cub’s perseverance to climb the mountainside. Captured by a drone, the scene seems to be the perfect example of how you could succeed if you never, ever give up!

While for his mother climbing seems to be a pretty easy task, the little cub struggles to reach the top of the hill and falls back for multiple times. But still he doesn’t quit, even if reaching his mom again seems to be an impossible task.

Showing a lot of determination, the little bear knows there’s only one option. Making the impossible possible or die. Thankfully, after a few unsuccessful attempts he finally did it! Watch the dramatic scene bellow!

Lewis Jimenez had to do something quite difficult four months ago. He had to return his pit bull, Titus, to the shelter from whence he had adopted him. But, unlike many people who abandon their pets and never return, Jimenez retrieved Titus as soon as he was able — and he vows to never abandon him again.

When Titus was two years old, Jimenez adopted him from the Austin Animal Center, Austin’s sole municipal animal shelter.

He had no intention of obtaining a pit bull, but he fell in love with Titus when he observed shelter volunteers strolling him around the yard.

Jimenez told The Dodo, “He was bouncing and smiling, and I thought, ‘Man, that’s the one I want.”

Lewis and Titus were inseparable for the next five years, and Lewis couldn’t picture his life without him. Jimenez described him as “like my huge old baby.” “He’s a part of who I am.”

However, something happened last year that drove them apart. Lewis was told that he wouldn’t be able to retain Titus.

“The management firm informed him he had to get rid of Titus or he’d be evicted,” Jennifer Olohan, Austin Animal Center’s communications and media manager, told The Dodo.

Jimenez didn’t have somewhere else to go and didn’t know anybody who could care for Titus while he looked for a new location, so he had no choice but to return him to the shelter.

The shelter employees weren’t sure if Jimenez would return for Titus at first. “From our perspective, we’re not allowed to detain pets because we constantly hear owners claim they’re going to come back, but then they don’t,” Olohan explained.

Simultaneously, the shelter workers observed how difficult it was for Jimenez to relinquish Titus, even though Jimenez said it was only a temporary situation.

Titus, on the other hand, struggled to acclimate to the shelter. According to Olohan, he was in excruciating pain.

“The shelter is a very stressful environment for dogs,” Olohan explained. “Some dogs are better at handling it than others, but Titus was not one of them. He was quite tense. He was excellent when you took him out of his kennel – very lively and gentle. But he was depressed and forlorn in his kennel.”

Jimenez and his family paid Titus as many visits as they could, but it was always an emotional experience for everyone.

“He would become overwhelmed and depressed,” Jimenez added. “The volunteers would jot down things like, ‘Titus isn’t himself,’ and so on. It just strengthened my resolve to do whatever it took to free him.”

The hardest aspect of each visit was coming to an end. “As they were leaving, the employees would see them in tears,” Olohan recalled. “As a result, the entire scenario was sad.”

Titus was at the shelter for four months, but Jimenez never gave up hope of getting him out.

Finally, Jimenez and his family were able to relocate to a new location where they could keep Titus. According to Jimenez, everything worked out for the best because Titus now had a yard to play in.

Olohan said, “Everyone was extremely, really emotional.” “Titus was ecstatic, as did Lewis. Everyone was sobbing, and we had some employees and volunteers there. Some individuals were already aware of their narrative and were aware that Lewis was “waiting in the wings” for Titus.”

Their reunion was filmed by a photographer, and the photographs went viral after the Austin Animal Center published them on Facebook. Jimenez is shown embracing Titus, who has a large doggie smile on his face.

“I was completely overwhelmed,” Jimenez said. “I was thinking about a lot of things.”

Jimenez thanked the shelter employees and volunteers for spending time with Titus throughout his stay at the shelter, ensuring that he received enough of love and care. “They could be doing a lot of things,” Jimenez explained, “but by doing that, they soothe the dogs.”

After a – now viral – video showed them boarding a tiny plane with 27 pups, a group of dog enthusiasts are being hailed as heroes.

The cute canines were scheduled to be put down, but three people stepped in and saved them all in the greatest rescue effort we’ve seen in a long time!

Cassandra Bergeron, the lady in charge of the rescue, captured and uploaded the footage, which first surfaced on TikTok. The movie, which was shot a few weeks ago, depicts sights from the 45-minute rescue flight from Alabama to Florida.

The video description reads, “Guess how many pups we rescued?” Then there are a slew of joyful pups wagging their tails and snuggling with the heroes who saved them. On TikTok alone, the touching video has received over 13,5 million views.

“I was in pure bliss. I didn’t want to land,” Cassandra explained for DailyPaws. “I couldn’t stop smiling the entire time.”

Cassandra received a call from a friend urging her to save the puppies, which enabled the life-saving rescue. Due of congestion in the shelter, they were going to be put down.

Cassandra and two of her friends rushed to save the lives of the innocent people, so they contacted Michael Young, a pilot and University of Central Florida professor. He was the appropriate person to contact since as a volunteer with Alabama Puppy Rescue Flights, he saved over 7,000 shelter pups.

After they all joined forces, 27 sweet puppies have been rescued from shelter in Enterprise, and taken by place, to several shelters in Orlando. Each and every puppy has been adopted since the rescue! During the rescue, Cassandra recorded several videos, each one more lovely than the other!

Thank you ladies. This is what real-life heroes do!

Hope and Benjamin Jordan, who had recently relocated to Charleston, South Carolina, were seeking for a babysitter to care for their son. After a thorough search, they discovered Alexis Khan, who was everything they had hoped for in a nanny.

However, the truth was rather different! The babysitter was a heinous abuser! During her stay, she would physically beat the infant boy, smack him repeatedly, shout insults at him, and leave him wailing for hours!

Killian, the family’s dog, was determined to defend Alexis, so he began barking at her! This drew the attention of the parents, who installed a concealed recording device to capture the sounds while they were gone!

They discovered more than 7 hours of nightmare torment when they listened to the gadget! As a result, they phoned the cops to have Alexis arrested, as she is prohibited from working with minors. Thank you so much, Killian.

Normally, a lion does not get along well with its newborn offspring, but when a 500-pound male meets his three cubs for the first time, he softens. The sweet moment was captured on camera and has already received over 23 million views.

Kamali, Zalika, and Angalia, three 6-month-old cubs, are ready to see their father for the first time, and they are ecstatic.

The incident, which was filmed inside the Oregon Zoo’s Predators of the Serengeti exhibit, appears like it might have come straight from The Lion King.

Zawadi Mungu, a prideful guy, first plays hard to get, but once his three adorable infant girls insist on getting his attention, he quickly changes his mind.

Laura Weiner, lead Africa keeper, stated, “We were certain that Zawadi would be tolerant of his offspring straight away, and we’re delighted we were correct since the cubs rushed him as soon as they spotted him.” “At first, he was taken aback, but as time went on, he became more patient.” He was grooming them a few days later.”

When it comes to cubs (even his), even a dominating male may be unpredictable, and Zawadi Mungu appears to be just as delighted as his small kids. Despite this trust, Neka, the pride’s mother, and Kya, another female member, keep a close eye on things.

With so many eyes on him, the gorgeous male eventually becomes overwhelmed. Laura added, “Within minutes, he had five female lions swarming him.” “I believe all of the attention was too much for him, since he hopped onto a boulder.”

Watch the lovely video footage here:

Without a doubt, everyone has felt helpless when someone larger and harder takes what we desire and there’s nothing we can do except weep.

Animals, too, appear to go through similar experiences. However, you won’t see such antics among the prettiest animals on the planet — koalas.

Koalas are adorable and peaceful animals, although they may be rather raucous during breeding season. And the hilarious film below exemplifies this point well. YouTuber Alicia Alexander recorded the scene on tape in Adelaide Hills, South Australia, and it evokes a range of emotions.

The only thing a young koala male can do when he is thrown out of a tree by a clearly larger opponent is throw a tantrum. Here’s your opportunity to watch someone being adorable while sobbing if you haven’t before.

“The poor little animal has been thrown off the tree. “You are welcome to come to our tree,” said a lady who observed the incident. “Poor little creature,” says the narrator. There are a lot of trees!”

While it’s unclear why the two began fighting, or if they’re connected, the scene is incredibly sweet. And, as if throwing him out of the tree wasn’t enough, the strong koala returns to the ground to ensure that his voice was heard.

The woman carrying the camera can be heard saying, “You’re a meanie.”

After the encounter, according to Alexander, the two went their own ways. When you consider that this is coming from someone who used to sleep roughly 22 hours a day, it’s an extraordinary scene. Have a look:

The animal realm has some of the most amazing, but unique friendships, but nothing compares to the wonderful relationship that exists between a Golden Retriever and a wild deer.

These two odd companions have been best buddies for almost a decade and brilliantly demonstrate what the animal world is all about. Everyone should meet G-Bro, the sweetest golden retriever, and Buttons, a rescued deer!

G-human Lorrie, Even though she had no idea what to do, Bro’s tried to aid when she noticed a deer had been hit by a car 11 years ago. She did decide to adopt the unfortunate wild animal as a foster kid, though. But she had no clue that her wonderful gesture would change the lives of both the deer and her dog.

Lorrie recalled, “When we initially rescued Buttons, we had a friend who had reared a deer, and someone phoned them and reported a mom deer had been hurt.”

“They contacted us, and we eagerly accepted… It required a lot of effort, but our ultimate aim was for her to be free while simultaneously being a member of the family.”

Lorrie and her family were not thrilled when Buttons fully recovered and it was time for her to be released back into the wild, but they gradually accepted it.

Buttons, surprisingly, did not want to leave her adoptive family, particularly her best friend G-Bro. So, even after her release, the devoted deer continued to pay visits to her loving companions.

The rescued deer continued to enjoy hanging out with her companion dog and the family’s cat even after a year had gone. As a result, everyone became accustomed to Buttons’ unannounced visits.

“Buttons will simply come up at the door,” Lorrie said, “and that’s when you know she wants to see her pal.” “If you don’t answer the door in a timely manner, she’ll paw at it.”

Many of us have given up what we were doing when a dog crossed us in the street, or when we saw it looking at us through the holes in the fence, and we always want to go and pet it. UPS drivers are no exception, and have a tradition of taking pictures of dogs on their working routes. They even have a Facebook group called “UPS dogs”, where they share their photos and experiences.

One such driver is Jason Hardesty from New Orleans, Louisiana. He describes himself as “a UPS driver who is easily entertained,” and that’s evident in the photos he posts on his Instagram page.

We’ve heard of the Fox and the Hound, but what about the Sheep and the Cat?

Charlie the sheep was only a few days old when his owner put him up for adoption online. His mother had died, and the farmer who owned him didn’t want to raise the sickly lamb by himself.
When animal lovers saw the ad to adopt Charlie, they immediately showed interest in caring for the lamb, but the farmer refused to hand him over to any sanctuaries.
“Farmers often do not like sanctuaries as we do expose the dark side of the industry,” says Carla Reilly Moore, co-founder of Happy Tails Farm Sanctuary in Kingston, Ontario.

One rescuer went undercover in an attempt to adopt the lamb without mentioning a sanctuary, and succeeded. They named him Charlie, and Moore says he was their “Christmas miracle.”

They nursed the lamb back to health, but Charlie hadn’t only found a friend in the Moore family, but also in a fellow rescue pet named Dora the cat.

Charlie and Dora quickly formed an everlasting bond, and when Charlie came home from the hospital after a much needed surgery, his feline friend was right there waiting for him.
“Dora the kitten ran straight to his crate, and stayed with him until he woke up and came out to play again,” Moore said.

“Dora and Charlie have a kinship now, both animals were in dire need, and both animals were taken in by us, both animals were brought back to health, and together they are now living out their life here at Happy Tails Farm,” says Moore, “they had an instant connection — like it was always meant to be.”

Difficulties not only test you, but also show you who your friends are. So when Jake, a 2-year-old golden retriever, lost his vision, his partner Addie had to help him get used to his new life, and that’s what she did. Over the past few years, Addie has proven to be a loyal friend and guide, and she’s certainly a very good girl.

“We brought Jake when our golden Molly died, and Addie when Wrigley died. Jake was very sad after his partner died, and we knew he needed a friend,” said his owner Kim.

“Jake follows the smell and sound of Addie. After Jake’s operation, we put a little bell on Addie’s collar for a while, until he got used to following her on his own.”

Jake’s problems started when he turned 2. “We saw that he was having trouble with his eyes and discovered that he was no longer producing tears”

During the following months, despite trying all the medicines recommended by the veterinary specialist, as well as several operations, his eyes deteriorated rapidly.

“We were faced with a painful decision: to remove Jake’s eyes or to euthanize him.”

“Both options seemed very cruel, especially for a dog that had already been through so much.”

“However, in the following days, we were contacted by several blind dog owners”

“They encouraged us by telling us about the resilience of their dogs after losing their sight, and that they were still leading normal, happy lives.”

“The vet also told us that sight is only the third most important sense for them, since they depend more on their smell and hearing.”

“With that information in mind, we decided to have Jake’s eyes removed.”

“After waking up from surgery, the vet said Jake immediately started wagging his tail.”

“His months of pain were over, and he was letting us know it.”

“During his period of adaptation to his new life he continually surprised us by the ease with which he seemed to cope with the circumstances.”

“He still bumps into things from time to time, but he walks around the house and the neighborhood with surprising ease. And his playful nature is back.”

“We are very happy with the choice we made, and grateful to the people who encouraged us to do so. Jake reminds us every day that life has purpose and value despite all the challenges. He has the personality of a relaxed surfer. He sleeps on his back with his legs in the air. Addie, on the other hand, likes to cuddle. She loves to be wherever we are and always wants to give kisses.”

When they’re not sightseeing or adventuring, Jake and Addie lead normal lives. Their days start with a morning walk and breakfast. “They always take a nap after breakfast. Then they play. They love this time of year when they can play outside together and chase squirrels.”

If you are fortunate enough to have a cat in your life, you already realize how much love they can bring to the table. There is nothing quite like sitting in a chair, relaxing in front of the TV and petting the cat that is purring away on your lap. It’s one of those things in life that we not only appreciate, we couldn’t imagine living without it.

Although you may have a cat in your life that is precious, would you think about treating a wildcat in the same way? Most of us enjoy watching them in movies or on TV or perhaps we may sometimes get out to see them at the local zoo. When it comes to walking up to a wildcat and scratching it behind the ears, however, we might not be so quick to do it. The thing is, that is what this woman did to a Lynx cat that was recently rescued.

This woman has become quite attached to the Lynx and apparently, the feeling is mutual. When she walks into the room and begins petting him, he starts responding almost immediately. The sounds that he makes are some of the sweetest you will ever hear in your life and we can’t even imagine what it is like to hear this as a response to your touch every single day.

You really need to hear that loving response for yourself. Turn your volume up and watch this amazing video:
