]]>Snuggles ran away from home 11 years ago while Epperson was helping her grandson move into a new home. Her attempts to find him were fruitless, and she lost all hope several months later, especially when winter rolled around because Snuggles never liked the cold.
Things took a wild turn over a decade later when Epperson’s daughter Chantel Stroud received a call from the City of Buffalo Animal Shelter. They informed her that someone had dropped Snuggles off at the shelter, and they decided to contact Stroud after scanning him for a microchip and realizing it was registered in her name.
Epperson was in a state of shock after receiving the good news from her daughter, and she’s looking forward to spending time with Snuggles after their long-awaited reunion.
“I just never thought I would ever see him again. I Googled it, and he can live up to 18 years old. So, I have another 4 to 5 good years to snuggle Snuggles,” Epperson told WKBW-TV.

]]>Hundreds of golden retrievers and their owners gathered under the city’s iconic Welcome to Golden Arch on February 8. They were there in honor of National Golden Retriever Day, which takes place on February 3, for the latest edition of “Goldens in Golden”, which was first introduced in 2019.
Golden retrievers have been gathering in this small Colorado town ever since. Golden’s economic development manager, Robin Fleischmann, explained they introduced this event as a way of encouraging more visitations and boosting profits for small businesses during slow winter months.
“It’s a wonderful convergence of people and dogs, and we love celebrating National Golden Retriever Day here. This event not only brings joy to the community but also introduces people to Golden, a town that may be a little quieter at this time of year,” Fleischmann told People.
Golden retriever owners traveled to Golden from all around the United States to pose with their pups under the Golden Arch. Even though this event was created with golden retrievers in mind, all leashed, trained, and friendly dogs are welcome to join them and make the “Goldens in Golden” gathering more paw-fect.
CBS Colorado captured the whole adorable event on video. Check it out below.

]]>Bowie was adopted by Kevin Ferman when he was just five months old, when he brought him to Colorado from Albuquerque. Staying home alone was quite a struggle for Bowie, who was dealing with a pretty bad separation anxiety whenever his owner had to go outside for work.
Ferman came up with a brilliant idea to take him along for one of his Uber rides, in an attempt to socialize him and get him around people. It didn’t take long for Bowie to free up around other passengers, and he quickly became one of Colorado’s most recognizable pups.
Bowie rose to prominence after appearing in the viral YouTube clip “Bowie’s Uber Vlog”, and this was just one of his many Uber adventures. Ferman is constantly sharing hilarious clips with Bowie in the passenger seat and he’s the best co-pilot anyone could ask for. People always light up when they see him in an Uber and he has a special talent for putting a smile on everyone’s face.

]]>The post Reformed “Demon Dog” Ralphie Skates His Way to Viral Fame appeared first on Our Funny Little Site.
]]>Ralphie first went viral after the New York-based nonprofit Niagara County SPCA posted a brutally honest Facebook ad trying to adopt him. They described him as a “fire-breathing demon” and “a terror in a somewhat small package”, but that didn’t stop Jason Lin from giving him the loving home that he deserves.
Lin is an experienced dog trainer from Knoxville, Tennessee, and he didn’t see Ralphie as a “demon”, but as a pet deserving of love, waiting to be tamed.
“He’s much more trusting of people now. He’ll give people the benefit of the doubt. Deep down, he’s always been a social dog. He wants to interact with people, he wants to interact with dogs, he wants to be friends with everybody, he just kinda didn’t know how to,” Lin told the Knoxville News Sentinel.
Ralphie’s progress was a joy to watch and he became quite a star on social media. In addition to starring in “Real Talk with Ralphie” videos, he also went viral thanks to his skateboarding videos, after Lin taught him how to use a skateboard.

]]>When you’re snacking on carrots or apples, don’t hesitate to share them with your dog. They are actually quite healthy for them and help keep their teeth clean.
Fish has similar nutritional benefits for dogs as it has for humans. They serve as a source of protein while also boosting their immune system thanks to fatty acids and B vitamins.
Having a movie night with a large bowl of popcorn? Then, let your dog join in the fun. Dogs view popcorn as a tasty treat, but make sure not to salt or butter their batch.
Dogs can eat cooked eggs whether they are boiled, scrambled, or cooked as an omelet. They are also good for them due to being rich in protein.
Watermelon can be a refreshing treat for your dog on a hot day. However, make sure to remove both the seeds and the rind before giving it to them. The seeds can cause problems in their digestion while the rind is, of course, unpalatable, and they don’t like it just like we don’t.

]]>Swainston is a huge dog lover, who has two pets of his own, and he decided to contribute to his local community by volunteering at the local animal shelter Adoption First near Jacksonville, Florida, He started training dogs and showcasing their personalities online in the hope this would help them get adopted – and he definitely succeeded.
Swainston’s videos blew up when he started talking the dogs along on his daily runs, especially the one where trains for a marathon by running 26 miles, each with a different rescue dog.
“This approach not only provided them with physical exercise but also helped more fearful dogs open up. I would often bring fellow Marines to volunteer with me, allowing them to play and run with the dogs, which was a rewarding experience for everyone involved,” he told People.
Swainston hopes his videos will inspire others to adopt rescue dogs and volunteer at their local animal shelters because they need all the help they can get.

]]>The Southwold Sausage Walk organizers expected 500 to show up to this year’s event, but the number of dachshunds in attendance exceeded 1,000. In addition to the British wiener dog owners, people from all around the world gathered on the English coast, bringing their adorable pups along.
Laura Baggott has been organizing the event since 2017, and she’s happy to see it grow into such a huge sensation, while still keeping its friendly atmosphere.
“It’s such a good atmosphere and because it’s built over the years we now have stalls, we have music, we have a big raffle… You see so many people who now know each other. Nobody is really left out, we all get to know each other. It’s just like a friends’ day out,” she told BBC.
Back in 2022, this event set an unofficial record for the world’s biggest gathering of dogs of any single breed, with 2,238 pups in attendance. Baggott is hoping they’ll officially break that record when the event reaches its 10th anniversary, and maybe even have a statue of a sausage dog built in Southwold.

Start by showing your dog what you expect. Hold a treat in a closed fist in front of them, letting them sniff and nudge your hand. Resist the urge to open your fist just yet.
Your dog will likely try various tactics to get the treat, including pawing at your hand. As soon as they lift their paw, even slightly, it’s time for a reward! Say “paw” clearly and open your hand to deliver the delicious treat. This positive reinforcement helps your dog associate the action of pawing with the reward.

If your dog seems a bit confused and isn’t offering their paw, don’t worry! A little gentle guidance can nudge them in the right direction. The moment their paw makes contact with yours, praise them with a “paw” and a yummy reward.
The final step is to fade out the lures. Gradually remove the treat from your closed fist. Focus solely on the hand signal and verbal cue, rewarding every successful “paw” with a treat.

]]>Take wakeboarding, for example. The puppers just can’t keep their balance on the board and hold the rope attached to the boat at the same time. But that doesn’t mean they should miss out on this experience.
One dog owner recently figured out that their Golden Retriever deserves a chance to try wakeboarding, so he took him with him on a ride. In a viral video shared on TikTok, the dog owner can be seen holding the puppy in one hand while successfully navigating the waves.
The dog needed some time to get loose but seemed quite curious about the whole thing and, at one point, even tried to catch one of the waves passing beside it.
The video ended up getting close to four million views since being shared a week ago. Internet users labeled it as “cute” while also praising the idea in the comments section.
“I’m screaming this is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen,” one TikTok user wrote.
“We will be seeing this pup in 12 months surfing – what a kick – love it,” another added.

He expected only a few people to show up, but the border collie meetup truly blew up after he decided to share the event on social media.
The first meetup saw 68 dogs in attendance, while 80 dogs showed up the next year, only for that number to finally cross 100 in 2024. In addition to being popular with the local border collie owners, the meetup at the Rocking Horse Cafe & Gallery has been attracting people from all over England, with dogs from Cornwall and Yorkshire attending every year.
In addition to being a great opportunity for border collies to socialize, this meetup also serves as the fundraising event for the non-profit SHAK, a local sanctuary for abused, mistreated, and neglected dogs.
