Happy Ending

On October 17, 2014, a stray dog trespassed a bank’s air-conditioned ATM room in Lambaré, Paraguay, because he was looking for a cool place to rest. It was well over 104 °F (40 °C) on that day it  and the dog just wanted a comfortable place relax. A passerby spotted the dog next to the ATM machine, took a picture and uploaded the image to Twitter. The image went viral, and next thing you know, the stray dog found a forever home.

On October 21, 2014, a woman from Mallorca, Spain, was walking her dog around 10 p.m. near the Banyalbufar cliffs when her dog slipped and fell over a cliff. The pet owner called after her dog and searched the area hoping she would find him alive, but in the darkness of the night, the woman did not find her pet nor did she hear him bark. The dog owner gave up and thought she had forever lost her best friend.

Doko, a small dog originally from Chile, has quite a tale to tell after he was lost during transport in a Spanish airport.

For Remberto Latorre, Doko’s owner, the five days his dog was lost in Madrid, were the longest days of his life.

Latorre and Doko temporarily lived in Hungary while the dog owner finished his Masters degree. Latorre’s parents traveled from Chile to Hungary to pick up the pet and bring him back home, but when they arrived in Madrid on October 19, 2014, Doko somehow escaped his travel crate and got lost in Spain’s capital.

Back in September we told you about a small dog found abandoned inside a garbage container in Jurapa Valley, Calif. The dog had been left in the garbage bin over night, but thanks to a concerned citizen, the pet was rescued and taken to the local Animal Control facility.

On October 16, 2014, a group of 8th grade students from Bergman Academy, in Des Moines, Iowa, became heroes when they rescued a light colored dog trapped in mud. The teenagers were jogging around the drained Greenwood Pond as part of their gym class when they stumbled upon the pet in need.

The trapped dog wasn’t alone, he had a buddy with him who was standing guard and looking quite worried seeing his canine friend stuck helplessly in the muck.

Mekane, a certified wilderness air-scenting dog, went missing on Wednesday, October 8, 2014, during a routine exercise in New Columbia, Penn. Though rescuers and animal lovers alike searched the area since she went missing, the rescue dog was not found until three days later.

Mekane’s owner and handler, Brenda Peachey, from Strike K-9 Wilderness Search and Rescue team, noticed the dog went missing when the pooch didn’t return from the exercise.
