A happy ending to an initially heart breaking story!
A homeless man's dog was taken from him in the middle of the night in Hudson, Florida. The dog was a gift from the man's late wife who succumbed to cancer in 2011. She literally gave the dog to her husband so he would remember her.
After the heartbreaking story of the dog robbery grew some legs, friends of the homeless man, who's name is Bryan, helped set up a Facebook page to track Bryan's dog Handover down!
They even raised $1,000 for the reward money! And it totally worked!

NICE!!!
On Tuesday, the New Jersey Assembly passed a bill that will let prosecutors treat any organizers of dog fighting as legitimate mobsters, as well as some tough, new laws for anyone who's caught abusing animals.
Our only question is - what took so long?!
Here's what one of the assemblymen said in a statement about the new passed bills:

After being foolish enough to try to bring his pet Capuchin monkey, OG Mally, into Germany two months ago without the proper paperwork, Justin Bieber left the poor little guy there…and had until midnight yesterday to re-claim him before he became the country's property!
Now, the deadline has come and gone,

We previously mentioned that Justin's monkey was detained at German customs because he didn't have proper documents, but now, German officials are laying down the law and giving
This is absolutely disgusting!!
Some people just make us absolutely sick!

She had hoped the dog would keep him company after he lost her.
After losing his wife and then his farm, Handover was literally all James had left.
Until Handover was stolen one night!! How terrible!!
Check out the video (above) to find out exactly what happened!

When it comes to doing awesome legal things, Colorado is leading the way!
Many states have a specific breed of dog as their state dog, but not Colorado!
Colorado has made shelter pets their state pet!

Just another reason why you don't mess with Carrie Underwood!!!
A couple of weeks ago we reported how Carrie was pissed about an ag gag bill getting passed by Tennessee lawmakers.
The ag gag bill would've made it basically impossible for animals rights activists to secretly document abuse.
Carrie was so mad back then she said she would show up at Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam's house if it was passed!
Well, Bill made sure that didn't happen.
His office has released this statement:
