Some heroes have 4 legs. 🇺🇸

This is K9 Valor. He saved 47 soldiers. He survived a su***de bomber, then went on to stop three more, fighting tooth against knife. In the end, he placed himself between an explosion and his handler.

The blast shattered half his face. He lost his left eye and ear. He was flown to Germany, where surgeons worked to rebuild his jaw.

At the Pentagon, he was honored with a standing ovation that lasted over eight minutes.

A true American hero🇺🇸

It’s hot!!

It's going to start getting hot. It you're dog is "dancing" on the pavement, that means it's too hot. Use this new 5 second rule!

And they don’t carry rabies.

Opossums live short, difficult lives, yet they spend their nights doing work many people never see.

Most only live about one to two years in the wild. They move through backyards, forests, roadsides, and neighborhoods after dark, searching for food while avoiding cars, dogs, predators, and harsh weather. Their lives are brief, but their role in nature is meaningful.

Opossums help clean the world around you. They eat pests, insects, carrion, and sometimes even venomous snakes. They also help reduce ticks, which can carry disease. In their quiet way, they support the balance of the places they pass through.

Still, many people fear them because of how they look or because they appear at night. But opossums are usually shy, gentle animals. When scared, they often freeze, hiss, drool, or play dead because they want to survive, not attack.

Kindness can be simple. Give them space. Do not harm them. Slow down when you see one near the road. Let them keep doing the work nature gave them.

Opossums may not live long, but they leave the world cleaner than they found it.

🐾 Meet Izzy! 🐾

This adorable 5 month old Yorkshire Terrier mix recently paid us a visit after deciding a sago palm looked like a tasty snack. Thankfully, Izzy was an excellent patient throughout her treatment, and it didn't take long for her sweet personality to win over our entire team. Everyone absolutely loved her!

While sago palms are beautiful ornamental plants, they are extremely toxic to dogs. Every part of the plant contains cycasin, a toxin that can cause severe liver damage when ingested. Even a small amount can lead to vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, seizures, liver failure, and, in some cases, death.

If you suspect your pet has chewed on or eaten any part of a sago palm, seek veterinary care immediately. Early treatment can make all the difference.

We're so proud of sweet Izzy for being such a brave girl and wish her a speedy recovery!
