This is not the dog from the story, it's just a cute dog dressed as Spiderman.
This amazing story comes from our hometown of Staten Island, NY where a pitbull named Kilo (uhhhhh) saved his owners life by taking a bullet to the head for him. Amazingly, the bullet never entered Kilo’s skull, and he’s recovering as we speak.
Kilo, a 12-year-old pit bull, was shot during a terrifying home invasion robbery attempt as he lunged at a villain posing as a FedEx deliveryman.
The bullet ricocheted off Kilo’s skull and exited through his neck – sparing the dog from certain death.
“This is, like, one in a million,” according to Dr Greg Panarello, whose veterinary clinic operated on Kilo.
“He’s very lucky.”
The hospital’s staff was so impressed, they put a little “S” on his bandage – for “superhero”
This is certainly one thing that dogs do better than any other animal. They are so loyal it brings a tear to my eye. I can’t imagine my cats ever protecting me. Hell I don’t even think my fiance would take a bullet for me like Kilo did. Man’s best friend indeed!
Kilo’s owner, and bestest buddy in the whole world, Justin Becker has got to be feeling pretty special right about now. I’m sure he’s spending this time with Kilo as he recovers.
If you are, or know, Justin, we’d LOVE to share photos of this very heroic dog with our audience. Kilo is a lot more than a “cute and cuddly critter” he’s a friggin hero!
As much as we all love cats, they serve nearly no purpose. Sure, they are adorable, and lovable at times but really, since we don’t live in barns or have grain fields to protect from mice, domestic cats are pointless.
Occasionally, our modern lives intersect with our past lives, and cats just totally drop the ball.
Now mind you, a few years back when my apartment was over run with mice, Margot did an excellent job of decapitating each one and offering it’s headless body to me as a sign of gratitude. So I don’t have the problem portrayed in the above video. Who’s better than me/Margot?
Who likes to clean? No one. Thought no one is really terrified of it. Most of us understand that we need to maintain a certain level of cleanliness in order to lead a healthy life. It can be hard work, but cleanliness is it’s own reward.
I totally understand some people’s aversion to cleaning. It takes time away from activities that one might enjoy, to do something that one most certainly doesn’t enjoy. Cleaning could be easier if done in small increments throughout the week instead of one marathon session. Maybe that’s what has this kitten so mortified. It realized that it has to spend all of it’s precious Sunday cleaning because it didn’t do anything during the week.
What is it about scared kittens that is so cute? Is it our desire to inflict psychological pain on helpless beings? Probably. But all I know is that this kitten, who is terrified for it’s own safety, is super adorable.
I need you to watch this video first. It’s not very cute, but it does feature a goose, so I’m allowing it.
Do you see what went wrong there? No, it wasn’t that a goose was overly aggressive, it was that this gentleman didn’t know when to stop.
Sure the goose attacked first, and then got more aggressive as the encounter heightened, but the man in this clip provoked him. After the initial, possibly harmless attack, the man spent a good 20 seconds trying to “scare” the goose away. If he took that time to leave the situation, instead of fanning the flames, the whole situation would have been defused.
This is important to know, and I’m glad that this video came across my desk today. We could all learn something here. If this guy was the better person (which shouldn’t have been hard, being he’s the only person there) there wouldn’t have been an altercation like the one we just saw.
I am curious about the room full of people watching this, video taping the attack. Does this happen often? Maybe the goose is with them, and together they prank heavy, balding men with too many business-related bags.
Odds are, the goose had eggs nearby, which would cause the goose to be aggressive in order to protect them. It says very little about the goose though because I’m sure there are more isolated areas to lay your eggs.
Waking up is difficult. I mean, once you leave the magical land of slumber, you are stuck facing the harsh realities of, well, reality.
I mean, who enjoys waking up? It’s the worst. I could do anything in my sleep. I can barely do a thing when I’m awake. What a joke waking life is. This guy knows what I’m talking about.
The crazy thing about this Great Dane is that it’s 6 months old. That’s a big bitch!
Don’t you sympathize with this dog? Don’t you wish you could just drift away into an eternal slumber, left only to your own imagination, living in a world of endless possibilities limited only by your mind?
This Otter Pup was found stranded without it’s mother on a beach in Central California when it was only a few days old. Luckily, a rescue began taking care of it and bottle feeding it to strength. Now this Pup feeds herself, just like you had to when your parents were “listening to old albums” upstairs. Remember those times? I know you do. Don’t fight the tears, you need to process those feelings in order to move on and live a healthy emotional life.
How adorable! I bet this pup will look back on these days and feel empowered that it was able to be so self sufficient at such a young age. I bet it starts making Kraft Mac-and-Cheese for itself in a few weeks.
Maru has been the world’s most famous internet cat for a long while now, but Pudge is poised to take the crown. There has been a number of adorable videos of Pudge, but they are severely lacking the views that Maru has. If you ask me, it’s a coin toss to decide who should be top cat, but I’d at least like to level the playing field by showing you the 7 best Pudge videos I found.
The Grizzled Leaf Monkey is the latest monkey that I’ve found out about and think is the most shweetest widdle cutie pie in der whole world.
The Javan surili (Presbytis comata) is an endangered species of Old World monkey endemic to the western half of Java, Indonesia, a biodiversity hotspot. Other common names by which it is known by include gray, grizzled or Sunda Island surili; grizzled or stripe-crested langur; Javan grizzled langur; grizzled, Java or Javan leaf monkey; langur gris.

The Howletts Wild Animal Park welcomed newborn Asmara to the world’s only “human cared” group of Grizzled Leaf Monkey outside of their native Java. This species is highly endangered due to deforestation, which has left the species with only 4% of it’s natural habitat in tact. Shameful.
Because of man’s greed and lust for wood, these adorable creatures aren’t able to live in their god-given homes, which would potentially hide them from us, and prevent us from ever cooing over their pictures. I’m so torn.
I know that many of us have mixed feelings about the World Wildlife Fund after they made the World Wrestling Federation change it’s name from WWF to WWE, but they really are one of the better wildlife organizations in the world.
The WWF recently released a quiz to help users find their Inner Animal. It asks users to answer a series of questions: their wardrobe color, hair style, energy level, favorite season, ideal environment, personality type, heart size (I picked the smallest) and the amount of siblings they have.
Once the user completes the quiz their answers are run through a highly sophisticated algorithm (some CS 101 if/then statements) and are given their Inner Animal. I got the Snowy Owl.
This is funny because the Last Time I went to Build-a-Bear, I made a Snowy Owl version of me. This must be accurate.
If you would like to find your own Inner Animal, click right here and take the quiz. It’ll only be like 4 minutes of your time, and then you can post the results to facebook and twitter. If you are feeling really generous, you can also symbolically adopt your inner animal, but the economy is bad, so you probably won’t do that. (But you should!)
My niece has an obsession with Bushbabies. She has countless stuffed dolls and figurines and electronic talking ones that just ooze hyper-cuteness. My problem is that I thought these toys were stylized to be cuter than the creature they were based on really is, until I looked for video of them.
Holy crap, these things are the cutest beings to exist on this plane. But I’m not exactly sure what a Bushbaby is, like, at all. Wikipedia to the rescue!
Galagos have large eyes that give them good night vision, strong hind limbs, acute hearing, and long tails that help them balance. They have nails on most of their digits, except for the second toe of the hindfoot, which bears a ‘toilet’ claw for grooming. Their diet is a mixture of insects and other small animals, fruit, and tree gums. They have pectinate (“comb-like”) incisors.
Galagos have remarkable jumping abilities, including the ability to jump up to 2 metres (6.6 ft) vertically. This is thought to be due to elastic energy storage in tendons of the lower leg, allowing far greater jumps than otherwise possible for an animal of their size.
INTERESTING!
After a bit more read, I found out they are low-level primates, related to the Loris, which is another animal I should probably post as it’s super cute as well.
