Animal organization North Canaan Animal Control recently shared a “crazy story with a very happy ending” about a dog named Rippy who saved himself from a rock quarry with loud barks, and it’s one of those stories everyone should know about. 

Earlier in May, an unnamed individual was passing by a rock quarry in North Canaan, Connecticut, when he heard dog barks. He notified North Canaan Animal Control, and its animal control officer Lindsay Burr immediately headed to the site. Unfortunately, despite hearing the barks themselves, they couldn’t locate the dog even after using a drone.

Burr returned to the quarry the next day, having a pretty good idea about the dog in need of help. She talked with a pet owner who said their dog Rippy, a 30 lb Terrier mix, went missing in the same area.

When quarry workers told her that they couldn’t assist her in rescuing the dog, who was still barking for help, Burr contacted the local rope rescue team and firefighters, who were happy to help. It wasn’t long before two rescuers made 50 feet descent and found Rippy. The dog, which likely fell from the cliff and couldn’t get out on his own, was exhausted but avoided major injuries.

“Rippy was caught and safely brought back up the cliff.  I called his owner right away who came and picked him up so he could go home to decompress , get cleaned up and then checked out. I want to thank everyone who was involved in this crazy rescue.  Rippy’s mom thanks everyone as well!!  He is one very lucky dog to have survived a fall off one of those cliffs!!” Burr wrote on Facebook while sharing several photos from the rescue mission.

Animal charity organization Arizona Humane Society recently shared an amazing story about how a “good Samaritan” spotted an abandoned dog on a mountain and then waited for two hours with her for help to come.

Back in April, an unnamed individual was hiking the Lookout Mountain in Phoenix, Arizona, when he suddenly noticed something unusual in the rocks. There was a scared and exhausted dog nestled in a small hole on the side of the mountain. Its fur was the same color as the surroundings and he only managed to spot her thanks to its piercing eyes.

The man acted quickly, contacting the Arizona Humane Society to ask for help. The charity immediately sent two of their staffers on the field, knowing that the dog has probably been out there for a long time and needs to be taken care of ASAP. Due to circumstances, the staffers managed to be one the scene two hours later, but the man was still there, making sure he can give them the exact location.

After arriving on the scene, AHS’ field operations manager Ruthie Jesus and her colleague Tracey Miiller immediately started the rescue procedure.

“She was really sweet and letting me pet her head, but she absolutely did not want to come out of that den, so I kind of had to just sort of pull her out,” Jesus said in a video shared by AHS.

Eventually, they managed to get the dog out, giving her water and checking for injuries. The pupper had some cuts on its paws and laceration on the back end, but fortunately, none of her injuries were life-threatening.

Due to rough terrain, Miiller and Jesus ended up carrying the dog all the way down from the mountain. Knowing she is headed to safety, the canine was calm the entire time.

“She was just so dehydrated. I think she’d probably been up there several days and that was probably her last day, and this Good Samaritan really just saved her life,” Jesus concluded.

TikTok user Maliah Wilson recently shared a touching video that documents the story of a dog named Zen, who was rescued from the dog sledding industry. His story is a heartbreaking one but comes with a happy ending.

According to the video, which went viral, Zen spent nine years on a chain in the sledding industry before arriving at Wilson’s home. The clip shows that the dog was in really poor condition and scared of human interaction. But Wilson didn’t intend to give up on trying, showing him that not all humans are bad.

With time, love, and patience, Wilson managed to gain Zen’s trust. Soon, the smile returned to Zen’s face, and he became just another jolly pupper who enjoyed cuddling and playing.

“And he ended up helping me more than I could have ever helped him. There is so much good in this world,” Wilson wrote in the video.

TikTok users were overjoyed with the way Zen’s story ended while praising Wilson for her actions in the comments section.

Back in July, San Diego-based couple Mehrad and Liz Houman faced one of the worst fears of any pet owner; their beloved dog Mishka went missing. Fast forward nine months, Mishka was found 2,000 miles from her home.

As it turns out, Mishka mysteriously ended up in Detroit, where she was spotted by one resident. They called the police, who took the dog to the local animal welfare organization, Grosse Pointe Animal Adoption Society (GPAAS).

GPAAS staff discovered that Mishka has a chip and they contacted Mehrad and Liz, who were preparing for a family visit to Minneapolis. As soon as they landed, Mehrad took a 10-hour drive to Detroit in order to pick up Mishka.

It is unclear how Mishka ended up so far from home, but Liz has a theory that someone stole the dog in San Diego and took her to Detroit. One telling clue in support of this theory is that Mishka can now learn to sit on command, something that she didn’t know before.

 “It’s a 100% miracle, and we never gave up hope. And I knew that we were going to get her back,” Liz later told The Associated Press.

GPAAS later shared a video on social media documenting Mishka’s story and reunion with her owners.

Because of their disabilities, some dogs are unable to run around and enjoy the outdoors like their healthy counterparts. Fortunately, there are animal activists like Buket Ozgunlu from Turkey who are looking to change that.

Ozgunlu is the founder of non-profit Association of Paws Holding to Life, which mainly cares about rescued disabled dogs. She recently decided to build a doggy train so she can take these dogs on adventures and show them the world.

In order to build the train, Ozgunlu made a hole in plastic barrels and then attached them to an ATV as wagons. Each wagon fits one canine passenger.

Ozunglu shared several videos that show the doggy train in action and they quickly spread through social media and went viral.

In a chat with Anadolu Agency, Ozgunlu said that she was inspired to build a train after seeing animal activists in another country do the same.

“If they can do it, why can’t we?” she shared. “I noticed that such outings are very beneficial for them. That’s why I take them out six by six every week.”

According to Ozgunlu, she and her team are currently working on improving their train idea in order to make the experience even better for the dogs.

Back in late February, runner Sergio Florian was making his way up the Pu’u Manamana trail in Oahu, Hawaii, when he noticed a scared dog curled up near a 1,000-foot cliff. The dog looked really weak, and like it had been through a lot, prompting Florian to pick it up and carry it in his arms down the mountain.

Considering the steep cliffs and unforgiving nature of the trail, Florian had to be quite careful in order not to jeopardize himself or the dog. It took him about an hour before reaching flat terrain.

Florian captured his rescue mission on camera and later posted it on social media, with the video instantly going viral.

After getting the dog off the mountain, Florian took it to his home and gave it food and water. His wife ended up recognizing the dog from social media posts, and it turned out that her name was Stevie. The pupper got lost when she chased a wild pig and was missing for three days.

The couple ended up finding Stevie’s owner and managed to reunite the two.

“I felt I developed a little bond with Stevie out there on the trail, and I’d love to see her again,” Florian told The Washington Post in an interview.

YouTuber MrBeast, real name Jimmy Donaldson, is known for his philanthropic efforts, having previously donated food to food banks, built wells in Africa, and helped students pay their college tuition, among other things. Recently, he decided to spread his generosity to 100 dogs, which he helped find a new home.

Donaldson teamed up with Big Dog Ranch Rescue to build a massive dog sanctuary where they gathered dogs that were “abandoned or rescued from kill shelters.” He then launched a massive marketing campaign to get people to visit the sanctuary and adopt a dog. They also recruited Guardians of the Galaxy star Dave Bautista to spread the news.

Of course, people couldn’t just come in and take the dog. Donaldson hired an independent agency to do an extensive background check on every person that wanted to make the adoption, ensuring that each puppy ended up in a loving family.

Once people committed to adopt a dog and provide him a home, Donaldson would surprise them with a special gift; the dog would get free food and pet insurance for the rest of their life.

The adoption event ended up being a resounding success, with all 100 dogs getting a new home. Donaldson also donated $100,000 to Big Dog Ranch Rescue to support their cause.
