Here is a man who truly, truly loves animals. Steve Greig, an accountant from Colorado was feeling distraught after one of his dogs died and after a month or two went by, he decided the only way he would feel better was if something good happened. So, Greig went into an animal shelter and asked for the dogs that no one wanted to adopt.
In The Pooch Times, Greig was quoted saying, "I grew up with a lot of pets. Both my parents were animal lovers and they pretty much always let me have whatever I wanted as long as I could take care of it. So (I adopted) a 12-year-old Chihuahua (named Eeyore) with a heart murmur and four bad knees, and I brought him home, and that was just the beginning of all the animals," he said.
Now Greig has 8 senior dogs that no one wanted to adopt! And that's not all, he also lives with his sister's dog, a roommate's dog, a pig named Bikini that thinks she's a dog, and he also shares a home with a menagerie of cats, chickens, ducks, pigeons, a rabbit, and a pond full of fish!
Talk about a full house!

While other visitors at the Singapore Botanic Gardens stroll around looking at the nature, this women was engaging in some rather unusual activity.
Armed with a green brush which looked like it was made for cleaning toilets, the lady was scrubbing the backs of numerous terrapins, trying to remove the algae off the surfaces of their shells.
The terrapins, in return, can be seen flocking towards the sweet woman, almost as if she were some 'turtle whisperer'.
A passer-by, Nur Hafiza Ariffin, happened to capture the heartwarming moment and uploaded the video to Facebook.
According to Hafiza, "The terrapins happily came towards her to get their backs cleaned and once its done they cutely walked off. Everyone needs a good back scrub once in a while, right!"
