• The more views a Youtube video has, the more money Youtube makes off of ad revenue.
  
• Youtube shares a portion of the ad revenue with whoever made the video.
  
• In this case, Pedigree Adoption Drive in New Zealand made the video.
  
• Pedigree is going give all its video profit toward adoption funding.
  
  Views = $$$ = adoption money. Simple!

A unique post on Craigslist is a message to the unknown previous owners of a once-emaciated, now rescued pit bull that was discovered as a result of an eviction. The current owner of the dog holds no hard feelings and seems to only want to give an update of sincere love and thanks for their added family member.

She is sleeping next to me as I type this, grunting with joy. In fact, she sleeps on my bed every night. Your dog is an awesome dog. We love her so much. The past three years we've had with her have brought us (and her) so much happiness.

One bit of information they are seeking is the age and original name of their beloved pup. We encourage you to reach out to this person if you have any information about the history of this beautiful pit bull.

The 22-year-old athlete and avowed animal lover is planning on taking four puppies and their mother back to the states with him after discovering them under a security tent where they lived outside of a media center in Sochi. He tweeted that he's doing all he can to prep mama dog and her pups by giving them their necessary vaccinations. "I'm trying...I'm doing what I can," he says, also stating that he's found potential homes for the dogs stateside.

This skier may have won the silver medal in his event, but he certainly has a heart of gold!
