Troubled Dog Helps Dying Man

May 24, 2013

(TOUCHING TALE) With so many stories about human and animal companionship, this one really changes what you think you know about these complex relationships. Casey, an Alaskan malamute from Dalton, Georgia, made the lives of her caretakers pretty difficult. Casey was a rowdy troublemaker, often sneaking out from her home and digging holes in other people’s yards, knocking over trashcans, and helping herself to food that wasn’t hers. So, when a neighbor came over informing Carol Baird, Casey’s guardian, that her dog had been visiting his house, she was ready to once again apologize for her pesky canine. But to her surprise, the man thanked her and proceeded to tell her how Casey has been taking care of his father who was suffering from Alzheimer’s. The man then explained that Casey stopped showing up the night after his father had passed away, as if knowing that her task had come to an end.

DONATE: Help Animals Affected By Oklahoma Tornado

May 23, 2013

(ANIMAL RESCUE) In the wake of one of the deadliest tornadoes in U.S. history, Oklahoma residents are desperately trying to reach loved ones and find missing pets, livestock, and other animals.

And while one woman’s happy reunion with her dog has touched hearts nationwide, many animals remain stranded. Many agencies are lending their services and stepping up to help out however they can—whether by bringing in search dogs, collecting food for animals, or reuniting families with their four-legged loved ones. Global Animal is collecting donations for vetted animal rescue organizations working on the ground to help with medical costs for injured animals, boarding and food, as well as helping reunite pets with their families. — Global Animal
