7 ekor anjing ni diculik dan dibawa jauh dari kampung mereka. Mereka kemudian berjaya meloloskan diri dan bersama-sama berjalan sejauh 17km untuk balik ke kampung asal mereka. Dalam perjalanan tu mereka sentiasa bersama dan menjaga satu sama lain. Hebatnya! Semoga kamu semua gembira bersama, disayangi dan dihargai oleh manusia. I always admire dogs, amazing, adorable, pintar and indeed man best friend. Compare to the mighty cats 🤭🤭❤️🐶🦮🐕🦺🐕🐩🐾🐶
Someone kind like you will find a better palce that will appreciate you kindly. Be strong to move on with no regrets. They lost you. Prioritize yourself over that burden, you deserve happiness. Your friend the dog will eventually miss you.
Kesiannya dia nangis atas bencana yang berlaku pada keluarga nya. Mesti sedih sebab kehilangan harta benda tempat berlindung, makan, minum, tidur, beristirehat dan bergembira dengan keluarganya. Semoga dipermudahkan urusan buat mereka.
Alhamdulillah. The answer I wanted to hear. I just read the post PROGRAM ADOPSI K9 BERSARA and am very grateful to know that we are moving towards being more humane and respectful towards God's creatures. They deserve our gratitude for their hard work and sacrifice.
It makes me sad to hear that, here, dogs are so unfortunate. They are hated, seen as najis, and treated as a taboo in our culture. Yet those very dogs are used to save us the ungrateful humans.
The recent Merdeka Parade featured dogs and even cats, and they became one of the highlights of the event. I also just learned that police dogs are called K9s, while army dogs are known as war dogs. Both play important roles in helping humans.
This year, Tan Mei and Teddy the dogs became famous for their mischief. But once again, the cats rules, with Simba the “victim,” proudly riding on the truck throughout the parade while Oyen using pink fan as it was hot.
Does anyone know what happens to war dogs in Malaysia after they retire?
Man smiles in mugshot after beating neighbor who tried to bury his dog alive. When a local man was released with only community service after attempting to bury his own dog alive and abusing it for years, the neighborhood was outraged.
One ex-Marine and avid dog lover had seen enough. He walked straight over, fists clenched, and told him: “Try picking on someone who can fight back.”
Moments later, the abuser lay beaten on his own front lawn. Police arrived to find the Marine calmly waiting, blood on his knuckles, grinning from ear to ear.
He left in handcuffs, but with a smile on his face.
The dog is safe with a rescue. The abuser? He moved out of town and never came back.
Read this article before sleep and I feel very thankful to all that involve in the rescue. What an amazing story of how the dog able to survive and how huge the SAR and how they willing to go that far for a mare dog (not for me ❌). Thank you thank you you are far too kind (with Jay-Z tone🎤). Alhamdulillah yeayyyy 🐴🐸
I am very grateful to live in Malaysia where we have tropical climate and didn't have extreme weather. So it's not too tough for the homeless and strays. Alhamdulillah.❄Winter look good and fun, but still I'd prefer Malaysia ❤🇲🇾
So, you’re saying it’s time to leave the park and head back home?
This dog doesn’t think so.
Facebook/Nicola Booth
The other day, Nicola Booth was out for a stroll in Queensland, Australia, when she ran across a man standing over a pup lying belly-up on the path. The dog, whose name is apparently Vincent, appeared totally lifeless. But why?
Turns out, that’s just something Vincent does when he senses it’s time to go. (And he doesn’t give in easy.)
For the next several minutes, as Booth looked on, an adorable battle of wills played out between Vincent and his owner. It was hilarious:
"Next time you get irritated by your dog for being too slow on their walk, spare a thought for this dog owner I met this morning," Booth wrote later on.
In the end, Vincent did indeed buy himself more time at the park — and from the looks of it, his owner was about to pay for his dog's compliance with a treat from the snack bar. Yep, Vincent will look alive for that.
Suri's say:
🙌mashaAllah... It's adorable to watch this dog with its owner. Bless you dog for having such a kind owner.
🙌though the dog hard to handle, I think the owner himself enjoying such fussy playful dog. 😁😁 🙌 Vincent pretending dead and the owner have to touch his heart to confirm if he's ok. The second touch he have to explain to the pedestrians that his dog is alright. 😂 🙌 really a kind owner, see how he carefully pull the collar so Vincent won't chocked. 🙌it is a happy ending, Vincent win to stay at the park. 🐴🐴🐴
🙌 Dog are very obedient animal, they follow instruction obediently and even they willing to sacrifice themself for the sake of their human friend. But how come Vincent being so stubborn to its owner???? That because he know his owner is kind and love him very much. And Vincent does not neglecting his order, instead he know if he acting up that way (being stubborn) he making his owner happy and laugh. They both know very well of each other and they are so happy. In case the owner in difficult time, that stubborn Vincent will surely obedient and save him.
🙌 thank you sir for being very kind toward Vincent and put-up with his annoying act. May both of you happy always. Between the park or you, of course Vincent will choose you. 🙌 Vincent have twin but a cat. His name is Bishing and he do exactly what Vincent doing. Especially when his owner sweeping the floor. He will annoy her so she will have to waste more time on him. 😁
Vincent, i'm your twin. I do exactly what you doing so human won't have easy life. Lets play dead on the dusty floor. I won't move even you sweep me!! 😼😼
Last week, in the wee hours of the morning, an unexpected visitor strolled through the doors of the Odessa Police Department in Texas and hopped up onto the counter.
It was a friendly dog who seemed eager to let officers know of an incident in progress — that a certain someone had gone missing from home.
Sergeant Rusty Martin was among the officers there to receive him, noting that the pup appeared none too distressed by his "lost dog" status. Mostly, he just seemed out for a good time — and he got one.
"We were all excited to have him in the building," Martin told The Dodo. "We had a tennis ball and threw it in the lobby for a bit. Everyone loved on him."
Despite enjoying the dog's surprise company, those on duty didn't forget about the case he'd originally brought forward. Solving it, however, soon hit a snag.
The dog was wearing a collar, but the ID tag had apparently fallen off, so animal control was dispatched to come check for a microchip.
Evidently deciding he'd been "missing" long enough, the dog headed back to his family, all on his own.
"He ran out just as quick as he came in," Martin said, having posted about the incident on Facebook. "The owner responded the next day [to say that] it was his dog and he had returned home. He lives about a mile from the station."
The dog, who's named Chico, had cracked his first case — albeit one of his own design.
"I was impressed," Martin said. "He may just be cut out for this work."
Suri's say
🐶 a dog report itself being missing, solve the case promptly by itself and cause the officer feeling incompetent (kind, big heart and humerous👍👍👍) in his job.😁😁😁
🐶 plot twist, the dog actually trying his luck on K9 position🐕🐕🐕
🐶 this is all sort things pets doing while wondering around. Their life is so adventerous and colourful before they home again. But we keep thinking that best if they spend more time at home 😁

The Disney+ movie Togo is about the heroic run of the titular Siberian husky, who led a team of sled dogs across hundreds of miles to deliver diphtheria antitoxin to the town of Nome, Alaska, during an outbreak of the disease in 1925. Directed by Ericson Core, with a Writers Guild Award–nominated script by Tom Flynn, Togo is based on the events of what become known as the “Great Race of Mercy,” or the “1925 serum run to Nome.” Scenes from the run are interspersed with flashbacks to Togo’s origin story, showing him making repeated escapes from the kennel of musher Leonhard Seppala (Willem Dafoe).
The title card at the beginning declares that Togo is based on a true story, but how much of this is hard history and how much is Disney magic? Was Togo really such a good boy as the movie suggests? We consulted cousins Gay Salisbury and Laney Salisbury’s deeply researched book about the serum race, The Cruelest Miles: The Heroic Story of Dogs and Men in a Race Against an Epidemic, along with what few other sources we could find, to break it all down below.
Togo

In Disney’s telling, Togo’s beginnings are an underdog story. As a puppy, he is a runt with little more than a fighting spirit and the endorsement of Seppala’s wife, Constance (Julianne Nicholson). Seppala grumbles that Constance is too softhearted and hints that a bullet might have been the easiest solution to Togo’s behavioral issues. And Togo has many behavioral issues: He’s magnetically drawn to Seppala, such that he successfully defies any of Seppala’s attempts to pen him up or give him up for adoption. Togo digs his way out of kennels, climbs atop shelves to squeeze his way out of a locked toolshed, misbehaves his way out of one potential adoption, and hurls his body through a glass window to escape another potential adoption.
According to The Cruelest Miles, althoughTogo was the only puppy in his litter,he was indeed smaller than average, and worse, he had a painful condition that made his throat swell. The Salisburys also write that Togo was indeed “difficult and mischievous,” as well as resistant to being locked up. He once attempted to leap over a 7-foot-high fence and got stuck in the wiring. He was disruptive to harnessed sled dogs, just as he’s shown to be in the film. Finally, Seppala did indeed attempt to give Togo away to a woman who tried to make him a house pet, and according to The Cruelest Miles, Togo really did escape by jumping through a windowpane.
In the movie, Togo gets his first break by busting loose and harassing Seppala’s harnessed team until Seppala finally gives him a chance run with the big dogs. By the time Seppala arrives at home, Togo has been moved to the lead position, and Seppala is marveling at Togo’s speed. According to the Salisburys, this is also true to life. The real-life Seppala was “astounded” at the effect of the harness: The 8-month-old Togo went from pesky to serious, and Seppala “finally understood what Togo had been wanting all these months: to be a member of the team.” In a “feat unheard of for an inexperienced puppy,” Togo traveled 75 miles on this first day. Seppala described him as an “infant prodigy” and a “natural-born leader.”
The dog that plays the adult Togo in the movie is a so-called Seppala Siberian named Diesel (the “Seppala Siberian” is now its own breed) and is actually Togo’s great-grandson, “14 generations removed,” according to the movie’s director. Not only is Diesel related to Togo, he also resembles Togo in coloring: Unlike many Siberians, Togo had a darker coat. It’s worth mentioning that Togo’s own lineage wasn’t too shabby: His father was Suggen, who had led Seppala’s team to victory in the 1914 All Alaska Sweepstakes race.
The Diphtheria Outbreak
At the start of Togo, Seppala arrives in town after a run to find that a diphtheria outbreak has already claimed the lives of five children. Mayor George Maynard (Christopher Heyerdahl), who is also the publisher of local newspaper the Nome Nugget, and the town doctor, Curtis Welch (Richard Dormer), gather the important-looking men of the town in a saloon. Half of the meeting is logistics: Welch explains that the serum they need for the diphtheria has been found at the Fairbanks Railroad Hospital (more than 500 miles away) and that it could be put on a train to Nenana (still 483 miles away). Maynard is all in favor of getting the diphtheria antitoxin flown in by airplane, weather notwithstanding. The other half of the meeting is not-so-subtle pressure on Seppala to ride to Nenana to pick up the serum. Seppala is initially unmoved, but after peeking into the windows of the town hospital and seeing children crying and coughing, he is convinced he must go, despite the misgivings of his wife.
In real life, things played out a bit differently. Welch and Maynard were present at the equivalent meeting, but Seppala was not present nor very much involved in the decision. Still, his reputation was perhaps even greater than the movie suggested: According to The Cruelest Miles, he was known as the “fastest musher in Alaska,” and his nickname was the “King of the Trail.” It was Seppala’s boss at the Hammon Consolidated Gold Fields Company, Mark Summers, who came up with the plan to use two teams of dogs, traveling toward each other from Nenana and Nome to meet at the halfway point in Nulato. Summers is also the man who recommended Seppala for the run. He told Seppala that the ad hoc health board “believed that Nome’s fate lay in Seppala’s hands.”
And while, in the movie, Constance Seppala initially objects to her husband’s participation, saying that the town should “pick someone with more stake in [the diphtheria outbreak],” in reality the Seppalas did have more of a stake than is indicated by the film script: They had an 8-year-old daughter named Sigrid.
The Great Serum Race
In the movie, Seppala sets out for Nenana in the midst of a blizzard. In reality, the winds were in a “rare state of calm,” and Seppala had a crowd to cheer on the beginning of his journey to Nulato—halfway to Nome, but still a six-day journey encompassing a total of 630 miles. As shown in the movie, more teams were added to the relay mid-run, and so Seppala ended up traveling a total of 261 miles (170 miles to pick up the serum and 91 miles with the serum)—still an enormous distance. Despite the differences in the Disney version of the story—such as the blizzard at the beginning—the fictionalized aspects are not an exaggeration of the dangers involved. “The trail between Nulato and Nome was one of Alaska’s most hazardous,” with most of it running along “the windswept, blizzard-prone coast of Norton Sound,” known to Alaskans as “the ice factory,” write the authors of The Cruelest Miles. The most dangerous part of this trail was the 42-mile shortcut across the sound. The safer alternative was twice as far. Beyond the possibility of getting caught in a storm or a dog injuring its paw on a shard of ice, it was also likely that the ice of the Norton Sound could break up and carry the team out to sea. It had happened to others.
One of the most terrifying moments in the movie is the second crossing of the Norton Sound, on the way back toward Nome with the serum. Seppala and his team are crossing the sound when they find themselves stranded on an ice floe, separated from shore by a narrow but formidable strip of sea. Seppala tosses Togo ashore, and the dog somehow manages to tow the floe close enough to the coast to enable the rest of the team to follow.
This is very close to what Seppala told the Boston Sunday Post really happened, albeit not on this particular run but on a previous trip. And while the suspense in the movie is more than adequate, Seppala described even more danger. In Seppala’s account, as summarized in The Cruelest Miles, the tow rope connecting Togo and the rest of the team on the floe snapped, and the end of the rope fell into the water. Togo jumped into the water, clambered back out, wrapped the rope around his body, and pulled.
Leonhard Seppala

In the movie, Leonhard Seppala is depicted as a stoic, hardscrabble Norwegian whose demeanor is in direct contrast to that of his softhearted Belgian wife. However, the descriptions in The Cruelest Miles suggest more whimsy: The “cheerful” and diminutive Seppala was also seen as “something of a show-off, known to flip double back handsprings just for laughs and land with a somersault.” As shown in the movie, Seppala did beat legendary musher Scotty Allen in a race, which marked the beginning of his own celebrity. One competitor described his communion with dogs as “unnatural control” or “hypnotism.”
The mutual trust between Seppala and Togo was also as depicted. Togo was Seppala’s favorite, and the musher often depended on Togo’s instincts and sense of smell when his own vision failed him.
Balto
Balto makes a brief cameo in the movie: He’s the lead dog in Gunnar Kaasen’s team. Because Kaasen is the one who actually delivers the serum to Nome, he is the one who receives the lion’s share of the glory. While certain details have been changed, this is largely what happened, and explains the disproportionate fame that the real-life Balto has enjoyed; beyond the media attention, there were movie deals, a tour, and a statue.
None of this is to say that Balto deserved no credit: Kaasen’s team had to drive through a blinding blizzard, and according to The Cruelest Miles, Balto’s senses of smell and touch were what kept the team on the trail. And although Seppala did not seem upset on his own account (he praised Kaasen), he was reportedly upset that Togo had not received his due. According to The Cruelest Miles, Seppala wrote: “I hope I shall never be the man to take away credit from any dog or driver who participated in that run. We all did our best. But when the country was roused to enthusiasm over the serum run driver, I resented the statue to Balto, for if any dog deserved special mention it was Togo.”
On the topic of unsung heroes, The Cruelest Miles also notes the deficient coverage on the contribution of the Native drivers—“who covered nearly two thirds of the run” but were not as interesting to movie producers or reporters. As the Salisburys put it, they were “considered a part of the landscape.”
Togo’s and Seppala’s Deaths
The movie leaves out several details about Togo’s death. By January 1927, Seppala had opened a kennel with a socialite named Elizabeth Ricker in Poland Springs, Maine, and he was traveling between Alaska and Maine. He made the decision to leave Togo behind in Maine in March 1927, concerned that the journey would be too much for the retired dog. And while the movie Seppala gets the date of Togo’s death right (“He left us on a Thursday in December”), in reality Seppala decided to put Togo to sleep, given Togo’s joint pain and partial blindness.
As for Seppala, he lived to be 89. “While my trail has been rough at times,” he wrote in his diary at age 81, “the end of the course seems pretty smooth, with downhill going and a warm roadhouse in sight. And when I come to the end of the rail, I feel that along with my many friends, Togo will be waiting and I know that everything will be all right.”
Its a story about a stray dog who receive love and kindness from a loving family. What touch me the most is the father collect bones from restaurant for the dog. The food is not wasted and the needy dog full up his stomach. Bless the family for their kindness and may all the good did return by Allah SWT.
Ya Allah sesungguhnya keluarga mereka sangat baik hati terhadap haiwan sebagaimana suruhanmu. Limpahkanlah rezeki dan rahmatmu kepada mereka. Tempatkanlah ayahnya di kalangan orang-orang yang soleh. Mudah-mudahan perbuatan baik mereka menjadi ikutan ramai dan menjadi pahala berterusan buat mereka. Mudah-mudahan kami juga istiqamah dalam melakukan kebaikan dan melaksanakan suruhanmu. Amin..
Madison Wallace and her family got the happy ending they were hoping for.
Less than a week after the 5-year-old girl's heartfelt plea for help finding her missing dog went viral online, Madison has been reunited with the pet she thought she might never see again.
Last Monday, the Wallaces' beloved dog, Buddy, managed to escape from the backyard of their home in Akron, Ohio.
Unfortunately, the dog was not wearing a collar at the time, nor was he microchipped — so the family turned to social media for help tracking him down.
Madison's mom, Laurie, posted to Facebook asking folks in the area to keep an eye out for Buddy, but evidently her daughter wanted to let everyone know how important it was for her to get her dog back.
In a video included in that post, a tearful Madison pleaded for her dog's safe return.
"If you find Buddy, please bring him home," she said.
Within days, the little girl's touching message to her community went viral — racking up nearly 11 million views online.
Thankfully, all that attention Madison's video received paid off.
On Saturday, the Wallaces were contacted by a woman who had actually found Buddy on the very night he'd escaped, and had been keeping him safe until his family could be located.
Girl, you are very sweet, kind and adorable. You know love and you will be happy.
Wish all good things for you, your dog and your family. =)
Animal lover, part of their life and happiness are from the animals. The happiness and bonding is hard to describe but its not a complete happiness without the animal. I am not me if im not an animal lover. I am not this happy without this feeling. It is a blessing from god and it is a happiness for me. =)
