This Abused Dog Thought He Deserved to Die. He Was Beautifully Proven Wrong.

When Apollo was found at a shelter, he was in bad shape. Not only was he physically fading away, but he was in such bad shape mentally from being abused, you could tell he thought he deserved it.

A loving family decided to make a difference in this pup’s life and took him home. His transformation is unbelievable.

While at the shelter, Apollo was so terrified he couldn’t look any humans in the face. He believed he should die.

But, after seeing him in his cage, one family refused to give up on him… even when vets said his distemper was so bad, they should just let him die.



Shortly after being rescued, his new owner said:

"We brought him home, and we gave him food, and a bed, and everything a puppy wants. You should have seen how excited he was when we fed him in those first few months.

He recovered entirely from his illness. Slowly, he became the best dog, even at times very cuddly. His favorite thing on the planet is our morning walks.

He is loving, confident, and sweet–the perfect family pet.

He is our tiny dachshund’s best friend in the world. Recently we had a baby, and from the moment we brought our baby home, Apollo adopted the baby as if he were his own puppy."

Some dogs just need a chance – they’ll show you how good life can be. Share if you believe shelter dogs deserve another chance at happiness.

What This Man Found In A Bag Of Mulch Will Blow Your Mind. What He Did With It Will Melt Your Heart.

A Florida man opened a new bag of mulch and, to his surprise, he found a baby squirrel inside.  We found the man on Reddit, where he is known by the handle “Nadtacular,” but now the Internet is starting to know him because of his compassion.  The baby squirrel appeared to be only days old when he found it.  It was so young, he initially mistook it for a mouse or rat.  But he decided to take care of it, and lucky for us, document his its development.
When he cut open the bag, this little guy fell out…

To keep it alive, he had to force feed the little fellow…

But after 2 weeks, he was eating like a champ…

By week 3, this is how he’d look after a satisfying meal…

Somewhere between weeks 4 and 5 his eyes finally opened…

As you can see from the photographs, a bond developed between the man and the squirrel, which he named “Zip.”  There is no definitive answer to how baby Zip found its way into the bag of mulch, but it’s safe to say Zip appears to be enjoying his new home.  It’s also safe to say that this man’s selfless act has restored our hope in humanity.  Way to go!
