Kevin is “passionate about dogs” according to his family. When you listen to how he sings, it’s almost like he’s giving them a concert.

A couple with 17 dogs wanted to show that a heartwarming family photo they took wasn’t photoshopped so they filmed this sweet behind-the-scenes video.
Chris Hughes and his wife Mariesa have a household filled with dogs as part of their dog rescue, The Mr Mo Project, in Clifton Park, New York.
The dogs are arranged for the group shot and there’s no pushing or shoving just gentle cooperation between all. The video shows just how well behaved and organized the rescue’s pack is. Well, except for that few seconds when the Pit Bull decides to walk.
Eventually Chris and Mariesa get the adorable dogs lined up and ready. Jut watching the whole process warms our hearts and other viewers agree.
“One of the nicest videos I have seen! So much hatred in the world – a video such as this can certainly help restore some goodness,” wrote one viewer.
Another eagle-eyed viewer noticed the dog with disabilities. “There’s one in a wheelchair. Love them all!”
Another viewer loved the group photo and proclaimed, “BRAVO! Great family photo! How lucky are they to have such a loving home! Bless you both for all you do!”
Temperatures had dropped to single digits, and snow was falling on Valentine’s Day in Missouri when Stray Rescue of St. Louis (SRSL) came across Galentine. The young Pit Bull was huddled in a snow-covered doghouse, trying to stay warm where she was living “100% of the time.”

When Donna Lochmann, Chief Lifesaving Officer with SRSL peeked inside, she discovered seven tiny puppies nestled in the straw. With the temperature a chilly 9 degrees Fahrenheit (-12 Celsius), rescuers knew they needed to get the family into their warm Jeep.

Galentine didn’t seem to mind the attention, and rescuers quickly got her and her babies into the warm car and the pups instantly fell asleep. “Today, we had a huge win,” SRSL wrote on Facebook. “We were able to get her and all her babies!”

Once at the shelter, Galentine, thin and exhausted, eagerly lapped up food and attention from the staff.

“She filled her belly (she was sooo hungry and thirsty), and now she’s resting on some blankets in our warm meet & greet room, nursing her six 4 week old puppies,” SRSL wrote. “She is attention-starved as well, and just wants to climb in our laps and kiss our hands, she is sooo grateful. What a good mom.”

Over the next few weeks, Galentine lovingly cared for her puppies until they were ready to be weaned. When St. Patrick’s Day arrived, Galentine had another stroke of luck—SRSL was holding a special adoption event, and a family met her and fell in love.

“At 2 years old, Galentine is just a baby herself,” SRSL shared on Facebook. “Never again will she be lonely, cold, frightened, or hungry. Never again will she be considered property….She’s ready to receive respect and give so much love in return. She matters.”

Squishy was born with short spine syndrome, one of only a few dozen dogs in the world who have the condition. It means he has some physical challenges that other dogs don’t have, such as bending down or itching himself. But he doesn’t let that get in his way of being a dog.
When Squishy turned 4 years old, his original family could no longer care for him. Enter Joe and Sally. They offered to pet sit for Squishy and then he never left.
He’s now got parents and doggie siblings who adore him and gets scratches from his dad whenever he needs them. And although he has a short spine, his family makes sure he’s never short of love.

If you visit Central Park in New York City you may come across a bronze statue of a dog labeled “Balto”. But you may not know the story of this heroic dog and what he did to save the lives of children. The statue was erected in 1925, the year in which Balto, a sled dog in Alaska, saved the children in the town of Nome from a serious diphtheria outbreak.
That year, the town was stricken with the disease, which is a bacterial infection that was quite serious at the time and especially dangerous to children as it would cause the throat and airways to swell, leading to croup and respiratory problems that could be life threatening
In January of 1925, the town of Nome ran out of the antitoxin used to treat infected patients. As the infection spread and more children died, the town’s doctor sent out an urgent plea to have the serum delivered. Without it, adults and children would die; the expected mortality rate was close to 100 percent!
