I remember how sad when the folks in New Orleans were told they had to leave there pets behind, and all the great people who went in to feed and rescue them.

I remember reading that..It would break my heart if I had to leave mine behind...I could not imagine what those poor people went through, loosing their homes aswell as their loved ones, animals included...

CRIKEY CROCS RULE!!

Talk about determination and fortitude! This bear held on for 24 hours to the side of a bridge in Lake Tahoe. Thank goodness for the rescue teams who really do a great job helping and saving animals all around the world!
Okay, I know it is a bear...but don't you just want to give him a big hug? He certainly deserves one!

Sometimes you just have to wonder why some people do the things that they do....how they can be so cruel and heartless.

All it takes is LOVE and Compassion...then the world would be a much better place for us all.

Love the story and the viseo...what a sweet baby. Good to see that he is thriving so well.

Edisto, a 315 Pound, thirty year-old loggerhead sea turtle made his way back to the water at Folly Beach County Park Saturday. He was rehabilitated at the South Carolina Aquarium after he was found entangled in a crab trap rope in May.
