When most dogs attempt to steal a treat, they are quick and go in with a plan. Not this dog. She’s very careful and slow as she takes the treat from the cat.
The cats just stare in confusion.

“Leave the meowing for cats, you dumb dog,” this cat is likely thinking.
In the cute dog video above, a cat and dog bat at each other while the dog attemps a few meows.
The cat gets annoyed and walks away.
These helping heroes safeguard our military, rescue people impacted by disasters, give independence, comfort the sick, and help children learn to read. The Petco Foundation has invested more than $10 million to support this life-changing work.
Throughout the campaign, the Petco Foundation will share stories about the transformative impact these animals have on human lives. On Saturday, October 14, the public is invited to meet a helping hero animal in select Petco locations nationwide. Details and participating store locations can be found at petcofoundation.org/heroes.
Some of the amazing animal heroes being featured in this campaign include:
Hank, a retired explosive detection dog from Kuwait. Thanks to Mission K9 Rescue, Hank was able to retire back in the United States and be adopted by Lloyd, a Vietnam veteran and combat tracker, who decades earlier had to leave his working dog behind after the war.
“We believe that the love of a pet has the power to change lives, communities, and even the world,” said Petco Foundation Executive Director Susanne Kogut. “These Helping Hero pets are certainly doing that every day. What is even more exciting is when we see rescued shelter pets who are then trained as service, working, or therapy pets. We invest significantly in organizations that save these pets and transform them into helping heroes.”
Individuals can support the Helping Heroes campaign by donating online or in a Petco or Unleashed by Petco store October 7 through October 29, 2017. To learn more about the Foundation and this campaign, visit www.petcofoundation.org/heroes.

Local and national animal welfare organizations today commend CA Governor Jerry Brown for signing into law legislation that will prevent the sale of commercially raised dogs, cats and rabbits in pet stores across the state of California. The law also encourages partnerships that promote the adoption of homeless pets.
Authored by Assembly member Patrick O’Donnell (D-Long Beach), Assembly Bill 485 protects animals and consumers, and sets an important precedent for the rest of nation. The bill passed the CA legislature Sept. 14. To date, 36 jurisdictions in California – including the cities of Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Diego and San Francisco – have enacted similar ordinances, and the signing of AB 485 makes California the first state in the nation to enact a statewide prohibition on pet store sales of dogs from puppy mills.
“By signing this groundbreaking bill, California has set an important, humane precedent for other states to follow,” said Gregory Castle, CEO of Best Friends Animal Society. “We commend Governor Brown’s signing of this lifesaving legislation to codify statewide what cities across California have already done to help put an end to the cruelty of pet mills.
California joins more than 230 cities, towns and counties across the U.S. that have passed pet store ordinances to take a stand against allowing cruelly-bred animals to be sold in their communities. Despite enticing claims that they only source from licensed, humane or small-scale breeders, pet stores across the country are invariably supplying unsuspecting consumers with animals from puppy and kitten “mills.” These “mill” facilities are designed to maximize profits at to the expense of the animals in their possession. Those animals are generally kept in overcrowded and unsanitary conditions without adequate veterinary care, food, water or socialization. Animals bred in these conditions may suffer severe health problems, including contagious and deadly diseases and congenital defects, as well as behavioral problems. AB 485 will help break the supply chain so that “mill” operations are unable to profit from their abusive practices.
This groundbreaking legislation has the enthusiastic support of a coalition of local and national animal welfare groups including the ASPCA, Best Friends Animal Society, The Humane Society of the United States, San Diego Humane Society and San Francisco SPCA.
When a puppy got in over his head in a pool, his mom came to the rescue.
First, she jumped in to save the tiny pup. After struggling, she thought quick and came up with a better way to get the pup out of the water.
She crawled out of the pool, grabbed her baby’s skin with her teeth and dragged him back up onto safe ground. Amazing
