Animal Welfare Group Warns of the Dangers of Transporting Dogs in the Back of Pickup Trucks

July 31, 2018

Every summer there are frequent warnings about the dangers of leaving dogs in hot cars, but there are far fewer warnings about the dangers of letting dogs ride in the back of open pickup trucks.

Letting your dog ride unsecured in the back of a pickup truck is not only unsafe it can be potentially deadly. Common sense would say that this is isn’t something a dog owner would do.

However, according to Alberta Animal Services, more than 100,000 dogs die each year riding in the box of a truck.

It’s an alarming statistic, and one that the Alberta Animal Services highlighted recently on Facebook. The animal welfare group pointed out that this statistic doesn’t even include the number of dogs seriously injured after being thrown from a vehicle.

In an effort to educate people about responsible dog ownership, they wrote about the dangers of dogs being unsecured in a motor vehicle.

Crying Dog Overjoyed as Florida Officer Smashes Window to Save Her From Hot Car

July 18, 2025

“I know buddy – I’m gonna get you out of there.” That’s what Sgt. Bordin, a police officer with Florida’s Bradenton Police Department, told a panicked dog left inside a hot car, desperately crying to get out.

Bordin had responded to a call about the dog locked in the vehicle while outside temperatures soared to 90°F (32°C). “The temperature inside the vehicle was significantly higher, and it appeared the dog had been left alone for quite some time,” the department noted on Facebook. With outside temperatures at 90°F, the interior of a car can reach 109°F within minutes—and after 30 minutes in direct sun, it can climb to a dangerous 124°F.

Speaking gently to calm the dog, Sgt. Bordin quickly smashed the passenger-side window. The grateful pup ran straight to him, relieved to be free. She drank nearly a liter of water before being taken to a veterinarian for a check-up, then brought to Manatee County Animal Welfare.

Loyal Dog Has Been Waiting For Owner At Pier For A Month

August 11, 2015

A dog’s loyalty knows no bounds. The photo of a faithful dog waiting at a pier has touched hearts of locals in Thailand. The dog appears to be on the look out for her owner’s return after she reportedly fell off a boat she lived in, and has been waiting in the same spot for almost a month.

Facebook user Thanawan Thongporn posted the photo of Facebook with the dog’s story, hoping she could help find the dog a home.

Thanawan captioned the photo and explained: “‘I’m lonely.’ She’s waiting for her owner. She fell off a boat and has been living at Rama V pier for almost a month. She’s very smart and cute. People feed her every morning and after she finishes eating, she always comes back to sit at this spot like this…as if she’s looking for the boat she used to live in.”

She added, “I feel sorry for the dog. Someone, please adopt her. I would have done it if my home had a space for another dog. Or I hope she reunites with her owner soon. Everytime I see her like this, I tear up.”

Many locals have shared the post and are checking missing dogs posted on the Internet with the photo of the pier dog. Thanawan also posted an update in the comment section saying that someone has offered to adopt the dog.

And shortly after, “Sugar” as the dog is now named, was indeed adopted. She now has a new, loving home. She is living well in a big home with a family who dotes on her.

I’m glad that Thanawan took the initiative to try and help Sugar. The lonely dog, is alone no longer!

Shelter Dog Senses Man’s Seizure at Adoption Event—Then Finds Her Perfect Match

Reshareworthy

July 9, 2025

In April of this year, a stray dog named Sienna was found roaming the streets of Virginia. The 3- to 5-year-old pup quickly impressed shelter staff at Friends of Campbell County Animal Control with her sweet personality, love for children, and an affectionate streak that earned her the title of “best kisser.” They knew she was special—but an encounter at an adoption event on June 7 revealed just how extraordinary she truly is.

Friends of Campbell County Animal Control

The volunteer-run shelter wrote on Facebook:

“Today at our adoption event, something extraordinary happened.
“Sienna, one of our sweetest shelter dogs, was calmly making her rounds—tail wagging, soaking up love from everyone she met. Then, all at once, she gently broke away from the crowd and walked straight up to a man she had never met.
“She sat quietly at his feet, refused to budge, and softly placed her paw on his leg. It wasn’t a trick. It wasn’t prompted. It was pure intuition.
“Moments later, the man’s wife approached and gasped: “My husband is either having a seizure or is about to have one!”

The man, Josh Davis, has epilepsy and he was indeed about to have a seizure. He and his wife Kristen later told Good Morning America that Josh had forgotten to take his medications that morning. Without any training, Sienna did what a medical alert dog would do, she alerted them.

Dog Who Ran Away From Four Homes Finds Perfect Family For Her Restless Spirit

May 25, 2018

Rescuers couldn’t figure out why Bee never wanted to stay. She would got to a family but then run away, despite being in a happy home and being an ‘A’ student at SCARS rescue shelter, where she had excelled in her training. She had started her life as a street dog in Greece and would get adopted and then be returned or run away.

“She was a dog that kept going from unlucky to lucky back to unlucky and back to lucky again so often, that by the time she ended up at the dog hotel, we had almost given up on her,” writes Valia with The Orphan Pet.

“‘What is wrong with that dog?'”, we kept wondering. And the more we wondered that, the more we realized that there was never anything wrong with her. Bee was a house trained, clean, obedient, social and stable dog.”

Valia figured Bee must have a gypsy heart – she never wanted to rest in one place for too long. It could also be because the families she was with didn’t really understand her. So it was fortunate for Bee that she ended up finding the perfect mom in Paris instead of Greece.

“She now lives permanently in Paris, where she rarely stays home alone. Wherever her mum goes, she goes, so she knows every corner, every monument and every restaurant in Paris like the back of her palm. And when her mum travels, Bee always travels with her. She has been to England, Italy, Sweden and there is more to come.”
