Hippopotamus Humphrey was “like a son” to South African farmer Marius Els. The man raised his pet from the age of 5 months. Marius used to “ride” his 1,200 kg hippo’s back in the past. And now Mr. Els is gone.

This shows how loving and loyal dogs are. This was a touching moment.

The poor doggie wants to eat but her owner is a big sleeper.

But this dog doesn’t give up easily!

This happened on the River Ribble in Lancashire, England. A Labrador and his owner were walking along the shore when the dog strayed on to thin ice close to the center of the river and fell into the water. Witnesses of this drama shouted to the Labrador’s owner not to go after her pet, but she did what she did. Laying on her front, she was crawling out on the ice trying to get closer to the dog when the ice broke under her weight. Now the woman had to fight for her life in the icy water. Luckily, her partner rushed up and rescued her with the help of the dog lead. And what happened to the Labrador? Go inside this post to find out.

The photos in this post help to explain the special relationship between pets and their owner. Although, they are family photos they are somewhat awkward. They are also quite unusual. However, they do show a bond between pet and owners.

Apparently, the owner of this Bentley was somewhat inebriated when he drove his Bentley into the mud and then decided to take a bath in the mud. It seems that he nor the Bentley were any worse for wear however.
