Because every pet deserves their moment in the spotlight.
They are loyal. They always have time for you. They shower you with love and only want love in return. And, many times, they put their lives on the line to save us
They are amazing. They are our pets, our furry or feathered friends.
On the night of June 30, a pet dog in Siyathi village, Mandi, became a hero.
Sensing danger before disaster struck, the dog's frantic barking woke its owner who spotted a crack in the wall that had water seeping from it.
The owner realised something was wrong and roused his neighbours. Thanks to his loyal companion's instincts, over 60 people were able to flee to safety before a landslide engulfed their homes.
This moving story reminds us just how incredible our pets can be. Watchful, loving, sometimes even life-saving.
