Raden Soemawinata was at Brighton Pier to scatter his grandmother’s ashes when he saw strong windws blow Sue Durmmond’s shitzu Bibi into the water. He quickly stripped down and jumped into the water to rescue the dog. It was all captured in still photos by onlooker Chris Scott. (via TheSlyestFox)

Lets start this morning off with something ‘awww’ inspiring! This is an extended trailer for a show called Rescue Ink. It’s about a bunch of guys in New York City (some of them ex-cons, some of them bikers, all of them are pretty intimidating etc) who got together and formed a militia of sorts that investigate reports of animal abuse. They find malnourished pets and injured or illegally owned animals and make sure that the pets end up in a safe home and that the abusers are sent to the proper authorities–after getting the crap scared out of them. It’s nice to know there are some people out there being real life super heroes for pets. (via CuteWithChris)
This baby seal was rescued by the Vancouver Aquarium. He’s so fluffy! Listen to his cute bark at 0:22, when he did that the dog that I’m dog sitting ran to the computer, thinking she heard another dog. Finally, concrete evidence that seals are just mermaid dogs.
Who’s a good bird? Non-colorful birds like ravens and crows always get a bad rap. No one wants to own them as pets, but they’re so smart! This raven, named Julian, can talk! His care takers at the Horizon Wings shelter for birds of prey posted this video showing off his neat abilities. (via URLesque)
