Couple Save All of the Senior Dogs from Shelters That Nobody Else Wants
Chris and Mariesa had no clue how popular Mr. Mo Project would become when they first launched it. Their initial goal was to give care packages to elderly dogs at their neighborhood shelter, but things rapidly got out of hand to the point that they started taking in dogs themselves.
Their network of rescuers reaches as far as Canada and New York, as well as California. They have a straightforward yet difficult task since they don’t want to leave any dogs behind.
After 6 years of their innovative project, the duo has saved over 500 animals, which is an impressive accomplishment given that many of these canines would have been put to death without their efforts.
The concept was inspired by Moses, a sweet dog who had outstayed his welcome at a nearby animal shelter. The two started to think about the lives of other aging dogs who had undoubtedly encountered similar hardships as Moses after spending only four short weeks with Moses before he passed away.
The Mr. Mo initiative’s motto is “the best for the remainder,” which simply implies that they wish to offer old dogs the greatest experience possible for the balance of their life. It’s a beautiful mission.
The duo routinely solicits donations from well-wishers for pricey operations, but on occasion they fall short of their fundraising targets and are forced to cover the expense of the therapy. They jokingly say that if something isn’t nailed down in their home, it may be sold!
However, this just gives you a little insight into the character of these two incredible people who go above and beyond to make sure that senior dogs enjoy a peaceful and comfortable retirement.
Mariesa’s words, which sum up their purpose wonderfully, are what I’ll leave you with: Because it’s our passion and a really fun activity, I think we’re incredibly lucky. We are extraordinarily blessed to be able to do this.

Dog With Nose Cut Off Had Little Chance Of Surviving But Her Rescuers Refused To Give Up
Namtan the dog had been tortured very badly when rescuers first saw her and she was in despair with not much hope of survival. Her nose had been cut severely and she was starving because she could not eat.
Luckily for her, she was spotted by a rescue group who normally save elephants.
The Save Elephant Foundation in Thailand is renowned for saving elephants, but their compassion extends to other animals too, so when they saw Namtan they knew they had to rescue her. They found her on the street and her snout was dangling from her face. It had been severed, possibly by a machete or knife.
It was a struggle for her to eat, and finding food was such a challenge for her that she had resorted to eating her own feces.
It was very difficult for her rescuers to find a veterinarian willing to give Namtan the life-saving surgery she needed. They consulted with many vets that told them the surgery would be impossible given it had been a long time since her injury. But they finally found a vet willing to try and give her the life-saving surgery.
Thanks to the surgeon’s remarkable efforts, Namtan pulled through! Seeing her after her surgery I could hardly believe it. Namtan was eager to get going and since her operation, her injury has healed well and she’s now living at The Elephant Park Sanctuary in the loving care of her rescuers!

Pregnant Mama Dog Abandoned by Owner Because Afraid Smell at Birth, She Exhausted From Starvation
It was a sad sight to see the pregnant dog unable to locate food and collapsed at the dump. Her owner abandoned her because he did not want to cope with the responsibility of caring for her and her unborn puppies.
The proprietor believed that giving birth would be a dirty and expensive process, so he abandoned her in a remote location. The canine was in a pitiful state, and her large stomach prevented her from moving. She was fatigued and dehydrated as she lay beneath the scorching sun.
She is assisted by Melekler ehri Dernei, a compassionate individual who comforts and gives fortitude to this ailing mother.
The unfortunate animal ate some…. She was attempting to avoid entering a stupor. The veterinarian examined her and discovered that she was infected with pagasites, but more significantly, puppies were moving within her abdomen.
Two days from now, she will give birth, as determined by an ultrasound conducted by the veterinarian. Despite her illness and malnutrition, the pregnant canine was determined to give birth to her puppies.
The dog went into labor shortly after receiving the necessary medication and nutrients to assist in her recovery. She endured a difficult and excruciating labor and ultimately gave birth to a healthy litter of puppies.
The veterinarian and his staff made certain that the infants and their mother were properly fed and comfortable. Over time, the puppies grew sturdier, and the mother regained her vitality.
Now that she was a mother, she took exceptional care of her children.

Puppy Doesn’t Know His Mama Has Gone, Everyday Looking for Food to Bring to His Mother’s Body
Puppy Doesn’t Know His Mama Has Gone, Everyday Looking for Food to Bring to His Mother’s Body.
Animals, like humans, have feelings that manifest differently depending on the species.
It was a sad-looking, skinny little dog. It was sitting next to the skeleton and skin of a large dog that had been dead for several days. The cause of death for the large dog is unknown, but this puppy is most likely his offspring.
People inquired about it, but when the photographer returned, he had lost track of it, which was understandable given how long it had been.
Some people were irritated that the photographer had forgotten to bring the dog, which he later discovered. They’re hoping the puppy is still alive and well somewhere in the harsh conditions of Tibet.
A puppy sat next to his mother’s nearly decomposing body in a Myanmar village a few days after her mother was killed.
This photograph was taken by a Reuters reporter a long time ago.
“I saw the heart-breaking scene as I was walking around the burnt area of the village,” the photographer said of the touching photograph.
” I took the camera and sat down, compassionately watching the small dog. After picking up the camera, I started taking pictures.”
“Because no one will adopt the little dog, I plan to take him with me when I have to leave. However, it was eventually adopted by a kind man. Because he was poor, he and I decided to send the dog to a Buddhist communal house in the village. I’m sure I’ll return to see the dog in the near future.”

Touched by the image of a pregnant dog sacrificing her life to save her owner from a poisonous snake
Although pregnant, the mother dog bravely fights to protect her owner despite the danger. Then when the venomous snake is defeated, it is also the time when the loyal pet takes its last breath.
Dogs are considered one of the most loyal pets compared to many other animals. Even more than an animal, a dog can be considered a “best friend” of man.
Many touching stories tell about the loyalty that this four-legged animal has for its owner. And the following sad story is one of the clear examples.
Dog sacrifices herself to save owner even though she is pregnant
Recently, on forums and social media sites, netizens are spreading touching stories about a brave mother dog. The incident happened at night, a king cobra broke into the owner’s house.
Cobras are one of the most dangerous wild animals on the planet, the venom of this reptile can kill a victim in just a few seconds. Therefore, if there is no dog to watch the house, it is not known how the owner’s family in this story will meet the end.
At that time, the homeowner did not know that there was an “invasion” of strangers. Fortunately, there was a dog in the house and the poisonous snake was immediately discovered.
Although constantly barking to alert the family, the dog’s owner was watching TV and simply thought that she was playing like usual, so he did not get up to check. When he went to see why the dog barked for so long today, the owner was “fired up” at the scene unfolding before his eyes: the pet was struggling, fighting with a cobra.
The owner regrets not coming out in time
When he saw his pet was fighting, the owner immediately rushed to support, defeating the snake. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the owner had to witness a heartbreaking scene, the mother dog did not survive because of the snake’s venom. This loss means that the “living sprouts” in my belly also end up.
Although pregnant, the mother dog still puts the safety of the host family first.
She fought bravely to protect her master’s family even though she was “pregnant”. As for the owner, he only regrets being subjective and not discovering the matter sooner. He blamed himself, if he had gone out earlier, he could have saved the dog’s mother and daughter. “My whole family will remember her gratitude for the rest of my life.”

The hospice veteran fulfills his last wish by seeing his dog one last time
Dogs really are man’s best friend. They’re the perfect pet, a loyal companion who can keep you company and comfort you when times get tough.
And for one man, his beloved dog was there when he needed him the most: on his death bed. It’s a sad story, but one that ultimately shows the beautiful bond that exists between people and their pets.
John Vincent, a veteran Marine who served in Vietnam, is facing the end of his life. The 69-year-old was admitted to hospice care at Raymond G. Murphy Veterans Affairs Medical Center.
Sadly, this also meant having to part ways with his beloved dog, Patch, a 5-year-old Yorkshire terrier. Since he had no family in the area, he surrendered the dog to Albuquerque Animal Welfare.
John is likely in his final days, so Amy Neal, a palliative care social worker, asked him if he had any final requests.
For John, the choice was simple: he just wanted to see his dog one more time.
Moved by his dying wish, the workers decided to make it happen, setting up a beautiful final reunion between the man and his dog.
“I asked him if that’s something that would be meaningful for him,” Amy Neal told the Albuquerque Journal. “And it came together very quickly.”
“When the request came in, it was an immediate ‘absolutely,’ and let’s do whatever we can to get it done,” said Danny Nevarez, director of Animal Welfare. “It was as simple as getting Patch over here.”
Team members from Albuquerque Animal Welfare brought Patch to the hospice. John was deeply moved to see his old friend again:
“Yeah, that’s me, that’s daddy,” Vincent said to Patch. “Are you so happy to see me? I’m so happy to see you.”
Patch was reportedly quiet during the ride, but became emotional as they approached the hospital.
“It’s almost like he knew, he just started whimpering,” Nevares told the Journal. “Like he had that anticipation.”
Vincent adopted Patch when a neighbor had a litter of puppies. He named the dog after his little patch of white fur, which matched John’s sole patch of white chin hair.
“We were the patch brothers,” Vincent said. He says he also liked that Patch was the smallest of the litter, so he could take him for rides on his motorcycle.
It was a touching reunion between two old friends. Sadly, it is likely to be their final farewell.
Still, it is nice that they were able to make the reunion possible, giving the vet a little bit of joy in his final moments.
“It was such a heart warming moment!” Albuquerque Animal Welfare wrote on Facebook. “They were so happy to see each other and to say their good byes.”
“It was an honor to make this veterans final wish come true.”
And if there’s a silver lining, it’s that Patch will still be well taken care of when his owner is gone.
He has returned to the animal shelter where he is looking for a new home—and Animal Welfare says they have an interested adopter lined up.
But of course, part of his heart will always be with John.
It’s a beautiful, bittersweet story that shows how sometimes our pets really are our best friends, even in our final hours.
