Raising puppies is not an easy task. Raising puppies with a bad history is even harder. But raising seven of them? Now, that's something to be thankful for. Imgur user RareWolf3 shared their story of doing just that - raising seven wolfhound cross puppies who were dumped in a bush, emaciated and scared.

All seven of the puppies have since been adopted and taken into loving forever homes, one of them even being adopted by RareWolf3 themselves. looking back on their pictures when they were babies brings us so much joy, and knowing that they're living good lives now is even better, and we are indeed really thankful.

This handsome Koala certainly lives up to his name -- Triumph. Meet the adorable koala Triumph, who was born with a foot missing. Triumph was taken into care back in 2017 after being spotted with his dying mother in New South Wales. 

Vets soon realized Triumph was missing a limp, due to an inexplicable birth defect. They could also tell that his missing limp would sometimes cause him pain. His rescuer and vet nurse, Marley Christian, from Friends of Koala, began to dress Triumph's stump in dolls' socks and little booties. They have discovered that when doing so, it helped relieve some of the sensitivity Triumph was feeling. 

Marley Christian searched the globe for someone to make a prosthetic, unfortunately, no one was willing to take on the task. "We were told it had not been done and it could not be done," Marley Christian told ABC. 

An American company that specialized in animal prosthetics decided to take Triumph's case, but sadly, they could not manufacture a design that would comfortably stay on. It wasn't until Marley Christian mentioned Triumph's case in passing to an Australian dentist, Lismore dental prosthetist Jon Doulman, who then volunteered to help build Triumph a prosthetic foot himself. 

And he succeeded.

When going to shelters and listening to the stories of the animals in there, it's always hard hearing about the ones that have been picked up once then taken back. We understand how much hope followed by devastation these animals feel, and our animal-loving hearts want nothing more than to give these animals the forever home they deserve.

So, when we hear a story about an animal that has been returned to the shelter already finally finding its forever home, for us (and for the animal), the joy is doubled. Thank you to FactWino for sharing the story of his beautiful rescue puppy, and thank you to the internet for making it go viral and bringing it to our attention. We wish them the most amazing, long life together.

Here are 26 images of a lovely kitty named Topaz for no real reason except the fact that we love cats and looking at these photos makes our heart happy, or any cat photos for that matter. We figured, since you are cat-lovers yourselves, you would feel that same happiness when looking at this beautiful girl. 

Imgur user, Madisaur23, recently shared these images of her beautiful girl, Topaz, and of course, users loved it because what is there not to love? "Topaz my sweet girl. Have so many pictures and nothing to do with them...so thought others could enjoy!"

And enjoy we have! And we certainly hope you enjoy them too! Commentary for the pics below are provided from Topaz mom, Madisaur23:

My goodness do we love dinosaurs. We're not even quite sure why. Perhaps it's their mystery, their massive size, or the fact that we grew up with really incredible dinosaur films. Whatever it is, we don't really care, we just know we love them. 

One Redditor decided to ask the community, "What's a cool fact about dinosaurs you know?" And it turns out, there were plenty of really cool facts we didn't know! So, we had to gather the best ones to share with all of you, because, you know, knowledge is power. And soon, we'll be the most powerful community of them all! 

Nah, just kidding. We do have you're as interested in dinosaurs as we are! And if not, perhaps these facts will change your mind! 

Okay, so be honest, if you suddenly couldn't see your dog anywhere, started looking for it all panicked, then looked up and suddenly found it on your roof, what would you do? Probably freak out. This dog owner definitely freaked out, and we both totally understand what he's going through, but we're also kinda laughing, not gonna lie. 

The internet couldn't stop laughing either, making this hilarious twitter thread go viral, and joining in on the laughs, just like the internet always does with weird animals. And you're about to join in on the laughing too - laughing fondly though, because doggos are wonderful no matter how weird they are.

Ah, Tuesdays. The week's second Mondays. Some weeks they're more difficult to get through that than others but we have to remind ourselves that at least it's not Monday. Even though it may feel like it. Knowing this small fact is what helps us get through the day, oh and cute animal pics and vids, of course. 

Welcome back, animal lovers, to another weekly round-up of the cutest animal pics and vids currently circulating the web! Once a week, we devote our time to gather up all this cuteness in order to refill your dose of cuteness prescription. It is very vital to our health and absolutely essential. We just hope we are able to offer enough cuteness to last you through the rest of the week! 

Happy birthday, Goober! Goober is turning 13, and we are so in love with him. He has gone through so much -  chronic sinusitis, losing a leg to cancer and growing a tumor in another leg. He has stayed strong the whole way through, and we are so dang proud of him. He's doing okay, surrounded by people who love him, and he is such a brave survivor, all we want is to give him treats and love. 

Thank you to ReluctantGenius for sharing his story with us. We as well as the rest of the internet are more than happy to show some love to this adorable little senior furball. We hope he gets to live for a long, long time and enjoy every single minute of his life.

All cats love climbing, but this three-year-old British shorthair has full-on mastered it. After a video of her climbing a wall effortlessly went viral in China, she dubbed the 'spider-cat', and her purrfessional climbing skills took over everyone's hearts. 

The owner of Qiqi, Ms Luo, a high school teacher, told MailOnline that her cat has always loved climbing and enjoys spending her days leaping up and down from supposedly unreachable places. "Qiqi loves climbing the walls, the doors. Wherever is the highest, she would try to get up there," Ms Luo explained.

In the beginning, Ms Luo would watch Qiqi every single time she climbed, worried that she would fall and hurt herself, but Qiqi never disappointed, continuously impressing her owner, and now us, with her amazing climbing skills. Ms Luo had been capturing videos like that and sharing them on Douyin, one of them going incredibly viral. 

Millions of viewers on social media were impressed with the little spider kitty, and we are part of them now. For more spider cats being totally impressive weirdos, click right here.
