Animals make great literature even greater: from Toto to Wilbur to the three little kittens who lost their mittens.

The Mini Goldendoodle Who Changed the Quiet House
The house on Cedar Lane had been quiet for a long time. Not the peaceful kind of silence — the heavy kind. The kind that sits in corners and echoes in hallways. After Mr. Rehman retired and his children moved abroad, the rooms became larger, the hours longer, and the evenings longer. Even the sunlight seemed to enter politely and leave early.

How to potty train your dog fast — even if you’ve tried everything.
Potty training is one of the biggest challenges dog owners face, no matter the age of their dog. Puppies are still learning all about the world, and adult dogs can come with habits built from previous homes. And when accidents keep happening, it’s easy to feel frustrated, overwhelmed, and even defeated.

Nature is full of surprises, and some of the animal kingdom's inhabitants possess abilities so bizarre they sound like they were ripped straight from a superhero movie or a villain's backstory.

I'll remember you
Monday, August 18, 2025 At home, we’ve always had pets. One would think that, with so many generations of dogs and cats who have been part of the family, my mom and I would already be used to this kind of grief. But it wasn’t like that on the afternoon of Saturday, August 16, just five days before my birthday, in the same year when the eldest dog of the house passed away. For the second time this year, my mother was forced to make a life-or-death decision, literally. And I, once again, stood on the front line, facing the weight of what threatens to destroy what remains of life.

The Irreplaceable Value of Live Animal Encounters
Animal-rights activists have recently promoted "virtual zoos" as ethical alternatives to live exhibits, utilizing holograms, 360-degree video, and animatronics. For instance, Belgium's GAIA is launching a Zoo of the Future with virtual and augmented reality, and robotic puppets, promising a new, immersive connection with nature "without cages, without captivity, and without suffering."

Whiskers and Wounds
Ayesha was once the melody in a quiet neighborhood of Lahore—the woman whose voice floated through jasmine-scented evenings like a gentle breeze. She taught music at the local school, her laughter ringing out as children fumbled with harmonium keys and off-key scales. Her home, small but warm, used to hum with life: the strum of strings, the soft clink of teacups, and songs passed down from her mother.

The Tail That Taught Me Love
Ariba had never imagined herself as someone who’d come home to a wagging tail and muddy paws. She grew up in a house where everything had its place—shoes lined neatly by the door, cushions always plumped, and the idea of fur on the sofa was nothing short of a disaster. Her parents valued order, silence, and control. So did she—until one rainy evening rewrote everything.

How a Tiny Kitten Saved Me from My Darkest Days
There was a time, not too long ago, when getting out of bed felt like climbing a mountain barefoot. My mind was heavy, my heart heavier. Some days, even the thought of opening the curtains felt like too much effort. Friends tried to help, but there’s only so much comfort words can bring when you’re trapped inside your own head.

I Tried to Teach My Dog to Use Zoom
Let me start by saying this: I didn't intend for any of this to happen. I'm not a dress-up-my-dog type or have an Instagram account for them. I am a plain work-from-home person with a hyper Jack Russell terrier named Milo and a lousy, tragic need for online meetings.

The Last Day with My Pet
StarIt’s strange how one day can hold so much meaning, how you can feel a lifetime compressed into a single sunrise and sunset. When I woke up that morning, I already sensed it was different. My pet, who had been growing weaker over the past few weeks, didn’t greet me at the door or wag their tail when I called their name. Instead, they stayed curled up in their favorite spot near the window, soaking in the early morning light as if they knew it would be their last chance to feel it.

Silkie vs. Cemani – The Two Strangest Chickens You’ve Never Heard Of . AI-Generated.
When you hear the word chicken, you probably think of a regular farm bird or your favorite fried meal. But the animal world has some surprises waiting — like a chicken so fluffy it looks like a walking pillow, and another so dark, its meat, bones, and even tongue are jet black.
