  • Wesley was out kayaking in the middle of the ocean off the coast of Belize when he noticed something wagging its tail near a fishing shack on a deserted island. Watch how destiny brought this guy and a starving puppy together and the long journey they have to take to both get home.
    Special thanks to Wesley for sharing Winston’s story with us: thedo.do/winstonbz. If you’d like to share your awesome animal videos with us, you can submit them here: thedo.do/submit.

    This is how I found my beautiful Irish Wolfhound mix. He was starving and following people with children in a shopping center. I knew he was sick because he was coughing, but I knew he was for me, and I took him to the vet for shots and heartworm treatment. I had him for a wonderful 13.5 years. Such a loving, loyal companion!

      Pencil Ze mighty yah, sometimes people just talk like that, mostly it’s not limited to a single definition, many times it can just be a way to say “seems like” “acts like” etc. language is weird lol.
