Hana, a photographer from Oregon, knew she wanted that precious “first

If you didn’t grow up in an area they inhabit, you might be surprised to learn how large wild turkeys actually are.

Roo, a Yellow Lab, was taking a routine walk with his mom in Chicago on a January day when he suddenly cried out in pain. At first, the dog’s mom thought he had some salt in his paw, a common winter occurrence. But there was something weirder going on at the corner of Diversey Parkway

We all make mistakes, but it’s much better when they turn into a silly story rather than a tragic tale. When a woman picked up the wrong dog from the groomer, she was furious at first. But now, her situation has gone viral for being humorous. Tykesha Cherry picked up her Maltese/Poodle mix from a
