Although it shouldn’t be like that, humans are often the worst enemies of dogs and they prove that every day with their cruel actions. Abandonment, neglect, and abuse are some of them, but there are really no limits when it comes to human heartlessness. This is exactly what one...

Birds can be pretty amazing companions, many birds live a lot longer than dogs, giving you a buddy for life depending on when you buy one. Some parrots can live up to 50 years, while the longest living cockatoo lived to be 82-years-old, which is why if you get one of these amazing talking feathered friends, you should make plans to put them in your will. Literally, it's advised that you put these long living birds in your will so there's a plan in place.But their long lifespan isn't the reason people can't get enough of these birds as pets. Just like children, these birds learn to mimic what you say and how you say it, which allows them to engage in endearing moments.

Most people don’t think about how hard a stray pup’s life is and how much they have to do to find food from day to day, so we don’t understand their problems.

There are many reasons your dog might not eat. They can range from simple explanations to serious complications. To complicate matters, just because your dog isn’t eating, doesn’t mean they don’t have an appetite.
