’r/PetTheDamnDog Also though it can encourage freakouts and separation anxiety if you immediately shower them in affection once you get home and they are still prancing around. They may be waiting until the pupper calms down before rewarding them. Though I agree it should have been in the video for the satisfying finale haha! We have a German Shepherd puppy who used to nearly pee all over the floor the minute we got home because she was SO EXCITED. My husband kept getting her riled up by petting her and cooing but part of her training is that she has to sit before she is allowed attention so she doesn't accidentally hurt our door, a visitor, our kid, or one of us if we aren't prepared for the onslaught of jumping and dancing and weaving between legs. It is so hard though lol.’

Went to the store to get dog food and they were hosting some cats for adoption and long story short, meet Laszlo!


u/TheTangeMan

’That cats face like “ I have found a suitable human...’


i saw you when you entered, heading for the dog food aisle
i made sure that you noticed me (i think i saw you smile...)
i stared at you until you turned, n headed where i was
n something felt so purrfect - i felt happy, just because...
maybe it's the way you started looking back at me
you petted me, n picked me up - n i knew suddenly
today would be the day that i'd be coming home with you ;}
I found a human suitable . . .
i thank you, friend -

My mom runs an organization that only takes in unwanted cats. This is one of them! Meet Milo


’How could that sweet boy be unwanted?? So handsome!’


there's cats who are 'unwanted', but they want us just as much
they long to have a human friend, n feel a loving touch
they're overlooked for different things - some have a missing part,
but all that's really missing is
someone to heal their heart
'How can he be unwanted ?? He's so handsome, n so sweet!'
a lonely cat, without a home may make your life complete ;}
if you can love 'impurrfect' pets, n not see any 'wrong'
then you can help them feel
like they were 'wanted'
all along!

’...we all have some sort of an impact on everyone we come across, but that was the one that filled me with joy’


it's not too late - don't think it's strange,
n if your 'colors' you can change
you'll maybe find a 'different you'
just by a simple thing you do!
the impact of a life you touch
can better both of you, so much ;)
just maybe what you do or say
will change the course

’I would send pictures to my family and my one cousin kept saying that he looked like a stuffed animal. ​ Im pretty sure somewhere in my parents house we still have that stuffed husky, unless they gave it to another family and now another child is dragging it around and will grow up and own a husky.’


somewhere on a shelf there sits a well-loved little toy
you held it as a child, n gave it life - it brought you joy!
but now the years have passed - you moved away, n how you've grown
n I'm the one who needs you now - a human of my own!
i'm softer than that little toy, cuz i'm not stuffed, i'm Real
n unlike him, i Look at you, n know the way you feel :@)
but maybe there's another child who loves that 'dog-friend' toy
n he, too, will grow up
to one day have
his own
'Good Boy'

he lift me on my pillow bed,
n gently kiss me on my head
so softly place me on the chair,

discarded now, alone in dirt
my reptile feelings kinda hurt :{
as always, tho, the squirrel will flee,

'adorably Wholesome' - a friendship begun,

no difference we saw, cuz we loved one another
so lucky we were that our bond was so strong
with parents who loved us, n knew right from wrong
both blessed with a family we learned from the start -
what matters the Most

cuz he's the one who rescued me - nobody else would do
(don't tell him, but he's gonna see that i 'rescued' him, too...)
when humans go out looking, hoping for the 'perfect pet'
we dogs n cats are waiting, never know which one we'll get...

’I love how even monkeys peel off banana strings...’


you humans think that we so smart for pulling off them things...
but We're the ones who did it first - we Hate banana strings!
they stuck there, clinging to the fruit that we find most 'apeeling'
they have that same banana smell, but Oh, that sticky feeling...
we pull 'em with our fingers, then they're hard to just shake off...
(but if we taste them in our mouth, they're sure to make us cough!)
so one by one we take the time to peel them All off first...
we monkeys Love bananas, but these string things are the Worst!

they Always try n please us more!

Walked out of my house to find a deer licking my cat


u/3-kano-3

’This wasn't the first time this has happened with this cat...’


He's bad at asking for attention from humans so he comes across as an asshole. He's actually a sweetheart at his core, he just has problems showing it...
...i watched n i waited, i hoped you'd return
when i didn't see you i felt so concern...
i don't really have anyone i call 'fren'...
but now that you're back
can you lick me again ?
i like you - you're quiet, n don't ask for much
there's something so nice about your gentle touch
it's hard to show humans that i like them, too
cuz i am a Cat
it's just something
we do

My daughter has been asking for a dog for years. Finally surprised her with a 10 week old puppy. Her reaction says it all.


u/drum5150

’As sad as it sounds the top of my bucket list is to own a dog one day...’


some people make a 'bucket list' of dreams they hope come true
but pups don't need a 'list' - they all have just one dream -
it's You ;@)
they each long for a human friend to call their very own
someone to make them feel like they're the Best dog ever known!
tho many people 'own' their dogs, (n many other things...)
there's nothing else compares to what a dog companion brings
so if upon your 'bucket list' a dog friend is on top
then someday it will happen, friend -
their Love will never stop
n you'll be drawn together, when the time is right, you'll see
you'll make each other's dreams come true
a Love that's meant to be!

It took 18 months for Mila to climb into my lap, I had assumed she wasn't really a lap cat but it seems I've finally won her over 😭 she's been here for a while and I'm sure I'll have bruises since she's heavy but it doesn't matter because I can feel her purring and it really is healing me 😭💞🐈

but now,

’Really is such a relief when a missing animal comes home. He’ll be getting spoiled for a long time now...’


we are the pets who like to roam,
but sometimes end up far from home
we try so hard, but can't return -
is then for human friends we yearn...
there's some of us who find our way,
but others who forever stray
n hope we're kept in someone's mind
who won't give up, n try to find
n in our hearts, is our belief,
we'll Reunite! to much relief
Back Home! the place we're dreaming of
Forever
spoiled

My pup that can't move got her wheelchair today! Check out that smile!


u/chupacabrabliss

’I post Daisy and my other fosters on my insta @chupieandfriends if you want to see more Daisy related content! This is Daisy! She has valley fever, a completely treatable fungal infection. VF causes lesions throughout the body, generally on bones but it can impact organs as well. It's very common in the Sonoran desert, where I live. In her case it is very severe. When she came to the shelter where I work she couldn't move any of her legs, was extremely emaciated, and her valley fever lesions where the worst I've ever seen. Since then she's gained 4 lbs and has started kicking her feet! She also started wagging her tail a few weeks ago and haven't stopped since. Her lesions are melting away and her blood work is getting better every checkup. She's a sweet girl who loves everyone she meets, be it person or animal. This wheelchair was fundraised for me by a bunch of volunteers and coworkers from my animal shelter. It means that she can sit up like a normal dog, eat food while sternal, and interact with me and my other foster pups! In short, it's life-changing for her! She can't move around on her own yet but she is getting stronger every day ❤️ It's crazy to me that a municipal animal shelter would do this much for a pup! 6 years ago we were euthinizing pitbulls because they're "aggressive". Today they helped this little pitty mix live out the best life they she possible could.’


thank you for this uplifting story, op
i'm Daisy the pup, n i'm Happy today :@)
my humans - they tell me i've come a long way!
i got pretty sick, n was ever so scare
but doing much better, with their loving care
just look what they got me - my very own wheels!
they help me to stand, n give me 'all the feels'
now every day, stronger - i'll do what i can,
it helps having humans i know understand
n tho i'm not strong enough yet to 'jump up'
i look in their eyes - such a sweet, loving pup
n they can see into my small puppy heart
n know that i thank them
for this Brand new start!

so in our lives if we can treat 'the least of us' the best

Dad: “We’re not getting a dog.” Also dad...


’Dads don't say that because they don't love to have a dog. They say that because they are aware that there is big possibility that their kids asking for the dog won't take care of the dogs like it's necessary. Take em for a walk in the morning, noon and evening, feeding them, play with em, care about them, teach em and protect them... Also they cost a lot of money. Food, toys, vets, utilities. Dads gone through that with their kids before, who are then asking for a pet. And often Dads are afraid that they end up building a bond with the pet while a kids interest can shift very fast. Then nobody takes care about the dog in the family anymore and the dad can't do it on his own on top of the stuff he already has to do... So when you see a Dad say no, not everytime it's because the Dad doesn't want a Dog. En contrary.’


'...we want a dog, oh daddy Please! we Promise we'll take care!!'
you heard their cries - Begged on their knees,
but now, when no one's there . . .

Little buddy needed a hand.


’Whoever did this, you’re an awesome person...’

they are the ones who do so much
when you just need
a friend

we give each other care
but then another's left behind

so sorry if i YELL too much -
i wasn't treated right :{
not ready, yet, for 'human touch'

Guide Dog reporting for duty


u/Araragi_Monogatari

’What’s most amazing about guide dogs or seeing eye dogs isn’t the training and the process by which they’re selected, but it’s what happens in their retirement...’


we are the dogs, our lives were good
we always gave the Best we could!
all trained as pups, we did 'the guide',
so loyal by our human's side...
the bonds we shared were like no others -
together, here, we feel like brothers
sharing tales of years gone by,
some lost a friend - it makes them cry
but as we age it's hard to be
the ones to help the humans 'see'
n so we gather here to rest
All knowing that
We've done
our
Best
