Watch This Paralyzed Puppy Get a New Lease on Life

This is the story of Ricky Bobby, a 10-year-old dachshund who is partially paralyzed and doesn’t have use of his hind legs. When Humane Society rescuers found the pup, he had been dragging his non-working legs around on a cement floor, which had left him covered in open sores, callouses and suffering from muscle atrophy on his underside.

He, and other rescued animals, were sent to CareFirst Animal Hospital in North Carolina to be treated for health issues caused by neglect. That’s where he met Megan, a vet tech who helped treat the dog, patch him up and built him a wheelchair using PVC pipe and a baby stroller. Fast forward eight months and Ricky Bobby is now as active as a puppy, chasing his adoptive mom around on his new set of wheels.

Watch the video above to learn more about Ricky Bobby’s inspiring story, and then consider donating to the Humane Society of the United States to help animal rescue efforts all over America.

Cat Annihilates Paper Army in Explosive Showdown

Tensions between local paper dolls and a ginger cat have escalated to a “military conflict,” according to officials at the State Department.

"Diplomatic talks in the living room have disintegrated," said Leonard Anderson of the Office of Press Relations in a briefing. "It’s unclear at this stage which party provoked the attack, but early reports show clear evidence the cat has decimated the paper army."

A citizen journalist uploaded this footage to YouTube, but be warned: It can be graphic at times.

The State Department has made it clear the U.S. does not plan to intervene in the conflict without further investigation by UN inspectors on the ground. We will update this story we receive more information.

Cat Duo Elevates Snuggling to an Art Form

An unnamed brother and sister cat duo from Japan have released a video that has set the snuggling world on fire. Experts are saying this might be the best snuggling demonstration in history.

"This is snuggling in its purest form," said Ramon Wilson, a snuggling expert from Fordham University. "They are showing a mastery of the craft that is beyond anything I’ve seen. This is easily the best 21 seconds of snuggles on YouTube."

The video, which has now been viewed over 9,000 times, is starting to make its way around academic circles. 

"I’m already figuring out how to rearrange my syllabus so I can teach this in class," said Amy Carrozzi, who teaches advanced snuggling at Radcliffe College. "Snugglers like this come along once in a generation. If you’re lucky.”

Though attempts have been made to identify the two cats in the video, no one has yet been able to successfully track them down.

Deleted ‘Jurassic Park’ Scene Reveals Puppy Sub Plot

Newly discovered film from the Steven Spielberg Archives has Jurassic Park fans reeling Friday morning. It appears the director had toyed with the idea of including a Maltese puppy character named Milo, but left his scenes on the cutting room floor.

 ”The scenes were basically just re-cuts of the original shots, but with an adorable puppy,” says film historian Ronald Buff. “At the end of the day, I think Spielberg was worried it would feel like pandering.”

There are rumors that the deleted puppy scenes will appear on a director’s cut Blu-ray, due out later this year, but Universal Pictures would neither confirm or deny at press time.
