This 14-year-old pittie loves to howl at fire trucks - watch when he finally gets to ride in one! We talked to his mom about the magical thing everyone should know about senior dogs ❤️

Oh my goodness, I'm crying. Don't tell me LOVE can't make an old dog decide that life is NOT over for him. Just to have someone care enough...just enough.

@@blythegirl4348 Why do you keep providing demonstrably false arguments to your followers? Pitbulls have no place in our society as no adult can guarantee 100% safety of the dogs around anyone else. I'm struggling to think of another breed so deadly... But you do you sister, power!

@blythegirl4348 Ай бұрын

@@dc4825 I don't have a KZfaq channel so you're wrong there. Why are you watching The Dodo story about a pit bull if you hate them so much! People who watch this channel love them and all other breeds. You seem like a miserable human being. Go spread your hate and misery somewhere else! Animals are pure love but not you apparently.

@monacea777 Ай бұрын

@@dc4825Pitbulls can be aggressive because people made them that way intentionally. They have been breeded, raised, and trained to be aggressive dogs. They are not born killers. And what about this "guaranteed safety"? Are you aware that safety can't be 100 percent guaranteed around any dog? This isn't about pitbulls. And all dogs deserve a place in society. Stop demonizing dogs when the issue stems from us.

Especially when dogs are young, they age rapidly compared to humans. A one-year-old dog is similar to a 30-year-old human. A four-year-old dog is similar to a 52-year-old human. Then by seven years old, dog aging slows.2 Jul 2020

My fiance and I adopted two cats who had both been abused to some level we'll never know about. One of them was overweight, and had such a bad hip she could barely walk. Started putting glucosamine on her food every day, trying to get her to play, we even massaged her like a hip every night before bed. We always said she aged backwards after that time. She looked better ten years after we got her than she did when we originally got her. Started running and playing, etc. Her orangie best friend helped a lot too I think. It took time but it was sooooo worth it.
