Indian Street Dog Chooses New Zealand Couple To Be Her Parents
April 29, 2024
A street dog in India has been reunited with the family she chose after 10 months of waiting.
Jalebi’s epic journey began when her adoptive mom and dad, who are from New Zealand and live in Australia, were in India and one morning went for a walk. When they came back Jalebi was under a car out front of their home. She got chased by the other street dogs. The couple noted that Jalebi wasn’t as independent as the other dogs and not fitting in the pack meant she was lonely. Soon, Jalebi formed a bond with them and would get excited and wag her tail when she saw them.
When winter arrived, they opened the door for Jalebi so she could stay warm and she came right in. Soon, they decided to take Jalebi home to Australia with them. “We couldn’t get rid of her,” they jokingly said.
The process would prove to be a long one. Jalebi had to wait two months in Deli for a home stay. Then she went to France for 6 months because India is a high risk country for rabies, which means dogs need to spend six months in a low risk country under quarantine before they can go to Australia or New Zealand. After that the quarantine in Australia was so booked up that she went to New Zealand and ended up staying there with her new mom and grandma. But happily Jalebi is once again with her family.
Jalebi’s parents say the entire process took 10 months and around $15,000. But they wouldn’t have had it any other way. Says her dad, “She’s that little angel we didn’t know we needed.”
Little Boy With a Rare Condition Lived His Life in Fear, But Then He Met This 3-Legged Dog
November 2, 2015
In January 2012, an Anatolian Shepherd named Haatchi was not yet a year old when he was deliberately tied to a railway line in North London and hit by a train. His tail was severed and his rear leg severely damaged. Haatchi managed to stagger away and hid for around 5 days before he was rescued by the RSPCA.
Unfortunately, due to infection, his leg and tail had to be amputated. But Haatchi overcame the unimaginable and frightening act of cruelty to become the best friend and inspiration for a young boy with a rare genetic condition.
Eight-year-old Owen Hawkins has Schwartz-Jampel syndrome, a condition which causes his muscles to constantly seize involuntarily.
Before he met Haatchi he had agoraphobia and socially withdrawn. When Haatchi met Owen the pair bonded immediately and began to support each other. Haatchi’s effect on Owen was immediate.
Owen had been struggling with being different and became withdrawn and anxious at school and around strangers. But everything changed the moment Owen met Haatchi.
Share this inspiring and heartwarming story with your friends and family and follow the pair’s adventures on Facebook here!
There’s also a wonderful book been written about the two friends entitled “Haatchi & Little B: The Inspiring True Story of One Boy and His Dog”, available on Amazon.
20 Essential Facts Dog Lovers Must Always Remember
February 11, 2014
These 20 essential facts all dog lovers must always keep in mind were written by DogHeirs. These life lessons are sometimes easy to forget in our hectic lives, but when you remember that you are your dog’s whole world, these 20 truths are unforgettable.
1. A dog’s life is very short when compared to a human’s lifespan. While humans can live for more than 100 years, dogs may only live for 10-20 years. Make the time count.
2. Dogs can act aggressively out of fear. Early socialization with people and other animals is key to building confidence, trust and love.
3. Children who grow up with dogs are not only healthier but they are also more well-adjusted human beings. Studies have shown that kids who live with dogs have stronger immune systems, fewer allergies and possibly even healthier microbiomes. Other research has revealed that kids raised with dogs feel more caring, happy, responsible and intelligent. And dogs love their little humans just as much as they love their big humans.

Four young heroes saved an abandoned dog’s life in Detroit and now that dog is getting a second chance thanks to their kindness! Kenny (13), Kenneth (11), Kevin (7), and Andrew (7) were helping a woman move when they found an abandoned dog tied up with bungee cords behind an empty house.
They noticed the dog was skinny and hungry so they decided to rescue her. One of the kids noticed her shivering and wrapped her in his coat to keep her warm.
They brought her home and fed her some bologne and water and did what they could to help her. The boys named the dog “Sparkle”.

Dogs Never Die, They Are Sleeping In Your Heart
The experience of losing a dog is universal for every pet parent. If these wise words help you, or someone you know, even if just a little, then this article has served its purpose.
This article was originally published on DogHeirs.com and republished here on Reshareworthy.com with permission.
Ernest Montague told DogHeirs, “I wrote this several years ago in memory of Bolo, a black and white Pit Bull who would always go for a walk, right up to the day he died. He might only get 15 feet before he stopped and looked at me and gave me the look: ‘I can’t go any further. But don’t you think for one minute I’m done walking.'”
Some of you, particularly those who think they have recently lost a dog to ‘death’, don’t really understand this. I’ve had no desire to explain, but won’t be around forever and must.
Dogs never die. They don’t know how to. They get tired, and very old, and their bones hurt. Of course they don’t die. If they did they would not want to always go for a walk, even long after their old bones say: ‘No, no, not a good idea. Let’s not go for a walk.’ Nope, dogs always want to go for a walk. They might get one step before their aging tendons collapse them into a heap on the floor, but that’s what dogs are. They walk.
It’s not that they dislike your company. On the contrary, a walk with you is all there is. Their boss, and the cacaphonic symphony of odor that the world is. Cat poop, another dog’s mark, a rotting chicken bone (exultation), and you. That’s what makes their world perfect, and in a perfect world death has no place.
However, dogs get very very sleepy. That’s the thing, you see. They don’t teach you that at the fancy university where they explain about quarks, gluons, and Keynesian economics. They know so much they forget that dogs never die. It’s a shame, really. Dogs have so much to offer and people just talk a lot.
When you think your dog has died, it has just fallen asleep in your heart. And by the way, it is wagging its tail madly, you see, and that’s why your chest hurts so much and you cry all the time. Who would not cry with a happy dog wagging its tail in their chest. Ouch! Wap wap wap wap wap, that hurts. But they only wag when they wake up. That’s when they say: ‘Thanks Boss! Thanks for a warm place to sleep and always next to your heart, the best place.’
When they first fall asleep, they wake up all the time, and that’s why, of course, you cry all the time. Wap, wap, wap. After a while they sleep more. (remember, a dog while is not a human while. You take your dog for walk, it’s a day full of adventure in an hour. Then you come home and it’s a week, well one of your days, but a week, really, before the dog gets another walk. No WONDER they love walks.)
Anyway, like I was saying, they fall asleep in your heart, and when they wake up, they wag their tail. After a few dog years, they sleep for longer naps, and you would too. They were a GOOD DOG all their life, and you both know it. It gets tiring being a good dog all the time, particularly when you get old and your bones hurt and you fall on your face and don’t want to go outside to pee when it is raining but do anyway, because you are a good dog. So understand, after they have been sleeping in your heart, they will sleep longer and longer.
But don’t get fooled. They are not ‘dead.’ There’s no such thing, really. They are sleeping in your heart, and they will wake up, usually when you’re not expecting it. It’s just who they are.
I feel sorry for people who don’t have dogs sleeping in their heart. You’ve missed so much. Excuse me, I have to go cry now.”

Woman Warns Dog Owners About Popular Plant After Her Dog Dies
There are countless plants that are toxic to dogs, but we hadn’t realized just how deadly heliotrope is to dogs until we read this Facebook post from Alicia Harrison after her dog died. She shared her distressing story as a precaution for other pet lovers so they are aware of this popular plant.
FB friends, we got the biopsy report back and with great sorrow I must share this….Our darling girl died from the toxin in this plant that I have on my deck. It is called heliotrope and is highly toxic, causes total liver destruction. The pathologist said our angel had the worst liver damage he’s ever seen.
“Goldie would nibble at the leaves of this plant every so often and we had no clue it was toxic. (It can come in white or purple.) Please share with any dog owners you know to hopefully prevent their dog from becoming a statistic like Goldie. We are even more heartbroken now knowing her death was preventable. Please share her story so that something positive may come of it and create awareness of toxic plants. Our own vet had no idea this was a toxic plant!!”
As Alicia says, the plant has purple or white flowers and sometimes blue/purple. It’s a popular garden plant and has a distinctive fruity vanilla scent.
There are numerous garden plants that can potentially be toxic for dogs, from Azaleas to daffodils to sago palms. If you have a puppy or dog who is prone to nibble on plants, please check your garden and house plants for ones that could be harmful and take precautions. The ASPCA has an excellent resource list of toxic plants to refer to.
