Recently, a woman on tumblr gave a vegan meal to her lab and posted the picture online. The whole incident sparked an incredible debate and one veterinarian, in particular, explained why this was a big mistake.  According to the available scientific evidence, dogs rely on natural protein intake for their proper nourishment. These days, however, things are different as people are continually giving their dogs food of their own choice. For instance, vegans are giving dogs vegan meals (no meat). Now, doing this does not immediately affect a dog's health, but instead, the health slowly starts deteriorating which the owners don't notice. In short, by forcing your lifestyle on dogs, you are putting their lives at risk. That is why this thread is so important to read by any pet owner. Via: RearFront

Single parenthood can be tough, but rewarding. Just ask Fred, the adorable senior labrador, who has taken a brood of ducklings orphaned under his paw after their mom disappeared few weeks ago. 

The ten-year-old pooch is the resident pet at Mountfitchet Castle near Stansted, Essex, in the UK, where a member of staff found the lost siblings waddling around the battlements. The Staff at the popular tourist attraction said they were very worried about the ducklings, but Fred immediately took to them and has been babysitting ever since. Fred definitely proves that you can be a perfect dad even at grand old age of ten. The staff says that the babies 'absolutely love him'.  Take a look at some of their precious photos together.

"Sweet Charlie is this bride's beloved dog. He has a brain tumor and is on his last few days on this planet. He used up all of his energy before the wedding and didn't have the strength to make it back up the aisle - so the maid of honor scooped him up and carried him. She's 5'3". He's 80 pounds. There isn't enough mascara in the world for these moments." -JenDz
