Awesome story! Scamp saved six kittens stuck inside a box on a mountain of trash. Scamp heard them, tore the box apart and brought them one by one where he now happily lives. Scamp is a former homeless dog, and had only one thought: saving them as himself was saved once.

A blind boxer named Baks got a whole new lease on life thanks to a goose named Buttons. The goose leads Baks around everywhere either by hanging onto him with her neck, or by honking to tell him which way to go. Owner Renata Kursa, of Lublin, Poland, was heartbroken when Bak was left blind after an accident.
‘But gradually Buttons got him up on his feet and starting walking him around. They’re inseparable now – they even chase the postman together.’

IN MEMORY OF KRAMER
1992 – 2005
by “Dad” Curt FongerI guess the best way to refer to KRAMER was that he was a “Good Will Ambassador”. He did his magic by way of gentle demeanor, wagging tail and those beautiful brown eyes with those golden eyelashes. Never bashful about going directly up to a man, woman or child which in and by itself, was nothing less than amazing in that – he was abused by people when he was a “Little boy” himself.
He won the hearts of everyone he came in contact with. He had a calming affect on the mentally challenged, the elderly, children with serious illness, and other dogs. Kramer’s canine intuition told him just what to do with and for “that” person when he was by their side. He was an absolute charmer and his “smaller than most” stature among the larger dogs was deceiving as his heart was the biggest part of him. He instantaneously won everyone over the moment they touched his silken head of reddish gold hair – people and children bonded to Kramer upon contact.
Yes… Kramer was one of those “Once in a life time” creatures to come into your life and you always went away with a smile and better for the experience. He did what many psychologists and psychiatrists practice to do and that was to: relax the mind, forgive your anger and live a little happier and why not?
