Strangers Open Their Hearts To Help Stray Dogs Stay Warm In Snowstorm
January 12, 2017 Community, Pets
A series of touching photographs of residents taking care of stray dogs in the midst of a heavy snowfall and cold snap in Istanbul, Turkey are warming hearts of animal lovers all over the world.
Ali Çelik was on his way to work when he noticed some stray dogs being tended to by some Good Samaritans, who were laying down cardboard boxes for the dogs to lay on and covering them with warm blankets. They were also leaving out food.
He snapped a few photographs of the strangers’ kind gesture, which have since gone viral. They were not the only ones helping out the dogs. One of the stores in the mall, Penti, opened its doors to allow the dogs inside and stay warm.
The dogs took up the invitation and made themselves comfortable, no doubt grateful for a place to warm up and sleep.
“Don’t forget that only true love warms,” Penti manager Arzu Inan wrote on Facebook.
This is not the first place, or time, Istanbul residents have helped the city’s stray animal population. Last year, an Imam opened a mosque to allow stray cats inside to have shelter from the cold. Also, a cafe on the Greek island of Lesbos opened its doors to the street dogs at night.
What to Do if You See a Dog Left Outside in Cold Weather
Every winter there are dogs who die outside in the cold. As much as people are aware of the problems of leaving dogs in hot cars, leaving dogs in cold cars or outside in freezing temperatures can be equally dangerous.
It goes without saying that if you see a dog left in a car in the freezing cold without it running to keep the inside warm, then please call the authorities.
For dogs left outside in their backyards, chained or not, knowing what to do can be a bit more complicated. That’s because the bylaws regarding keeping dogs outdoors vary from region to region.
Some cities and towns allow dogs to be chained outside, but may have rules about leaving pets outside in extreme temperatures. Dogs may be allowed to be outside in the cold provided they have adequate shelter and access to food and water. Unfortunately, they oftentimes don’t get it.
So what should you do if you see a dog outside in freezing temperatures without proper shelter?
You might first try asking the neighbor to bring their dogs inside. But if you don’t want to approach the person, then here are some recommendations as to what to do.

Nurse Rescues Patient’s Dog From Shelter So He Can Keeping Seeing Him At Hospital
December 28, 2021 Community, Inspirational
A nurse went the extra step to help one of her patients by adopting his dog. Jennifer Smith, a nurse at The Grand Rehabilitation and Nursing Home in Rome, New York discovered that one of her patients had given up his dog after he was hospitalized.
John Burley is one of Jennifer’s favorite patients. So when he called her after Thanksgiving, greatly concerned about his dog Boomer, she wanted to help him. John was worried what would happen to Boomer at the pound and asked her if she would take care of his dog for him.
John had adopted Boomer as a puppy and the dog was now 12 years old. But when John got sick he had no one to care for Boomer and was forced to give him up.
Jennifer reassured John she would take care of Boomer but she didn’t know what shelter had Boomer. After calling around, she learned the dog was at Rome Humane Society.
“I was a little panicked because I didn’t know how long he had been in the shelter or if he had already been adopted to another family,” Jennifer told CNN. It’s Christmas time and people get animals,” she said. “I told John I have a 13-year-old dog myself who I’ve had since a puppy, so I fully understand the panic. It made my heart sad for him and Boomer.”
The next day she went to the animal shelter to adopt him.
A short time later, she officially adopted Boomer and brought him home. Now she brings the little dog to visit John at The Grand Rehabilitation and Nursing Home while he recovers. The dog’s visits have lifted John’s spirits, and those of other residents.
The Grand Rehabilitation and Nursing Home
“There are just so many worries in the world right now. If I can take one worry away from John, that’s the least I can do,” Jennifer explained. “I can’t cure diseases. I’m not a miracle worker … I made a promise to John to take care of Boomer. I will take care of him as long as he needs me to. John knows that. Right now the focus is on John getting better and taking it one day at a time.”
Dog Longingly Waits For Same Train Every Night In Hopes Of Owner’s Return
February 26, 2018
A dog’s heartbreaking routine at a train station platform has captured the attention of dog lovers around the world.
Night after night a female dog stands on the same platform in front of the same carriage at Kanjurmarg Station in India searching for someone in vain.
The dog waits for the 11pm train to arrive and then appears to be waiting for someone to disembark. When the person she’s looking for doesn’t come, the train departs the station and the dog runs after it.
Train staff say the dog has been doing this every night at the same time for at least two months, sparking speculation that she was abandoned or lost and is looking for her long-lost family. Others believe it might be a person who feeds her regularly.
A local man Sameer Thorat captured the heartbreaking scene on video and posted it on social media, immediately creating a stir on social media.
Other commuters took it upon themselves to track the dog’s movements and discovered that she has four puppies. Whether the mama dog is looking for a lost owner or is a stray searching for someone to love remains a mystery.
Online campaigns have been sparked the help reunite the dog with her former owner (if she had one), or find the person who used to feed her regularly, whereas others have tagged transport minister Piyush Goyal to see what he can do.
Sourav Verma, an animal lover, has been feeding the dog after he saw a video and wants to find the dog and her puppies permanent homes. “We have become friends,” he told the Mumbai Mirror. “It even takes me to its pups. I am looking for people who would adopt them after following proper procedure.”
A person confirmed that the dog is now fed by many people regularly and she is well settled at the station. They added that the dog will be spayed once her puppies are weaned.
There are an estimated 30 million stray dogs in India, who call the streets home. Given the media attention this sweet dog and her pups are receiving, it is hoped she and her puppies will find homes.
Old, Blind Dog Never Left The Safety Of His Bed Until He Met This Tough Cat
August 30, 2014
Terfel is a 14-year-old dog who is blind and partially deaf. He used to be stuck in his basket because he couldn’t see where he was going and kept on getting hurt. But life got better when a formerly stray cat came into his life. Pwditat (pronounced ‘Pudditat’) is top cat in the home and is not very nice with other cats, but he quickly became Terfel’s best friend.
His human says that Pwditat seemed to know Terfel is blind and needs him because the cat helps lead Terfel around the house and has become his designated “guide cat”. When they are not out walking together, they love cuddling on the couch. These are two friends definitely lean on each other! Share this heartwarming animal friendship with your friends and family!
Dogs Follow Injured Man Into Ambulance And Hospital To Make Sure He Is Okay
January 7, 2017
When paramedics were called to save a man who had fallen and hurt his head on a street in Chimbote, Peru, they weren’t expecting to find him being tenderly watched over by his two dogs.
They quickly realized that the dogs refused to be parted from the wounded man’s side, so they decided it would be easier to bring them with him. After the man was carried into an ambulance, the dogs hopped inside the vehicle to accompany him on the ride.
A touching video of the event shows that that the dogs rode with him in the ambulance, intently watching over him.
They also were also allowed to accompany him into the hospital!
Seguridad Ciudadana Chimbote shared photos of one of the dogs resting on the gurney next to his human as care workers look him over.
Photos posted to Facebook later in the day by a hospital intern show the man in a wheelchair with his dogs still by his side.
“Example of loyalty,” Joha Morillas Zapata wrote. “The patients of the day.”
It seems that the man is on the mend, no doubt, in part thanks to the loving support of his faithful friends.
Share this heartwarming story with your family and friends.
