This is just awful!!

A woman was jogging through a neighborhood in Littlerock, California, just trying to get some exercise and extend her life.

Well in a tragic turn of events, that life was cut short when she was ATTACKED by a pack of dogs.

The pit bulls and mixed breeds were apparently known to be aggressive and have been found and taken from their home.

A police spokesman said:

Bob Barker loves helping animals of all sizes!

Three aging elephants - Toka, Thika and Iringa - currently reside at the Toronto Zoo, but it is getting to the point where the zookeepers, animal activists, and Bob Barker want to retire them over at California.

But that's a long trek!

And Elephants can't drive, so it isn't like they can go on a road trip.

Luckily, Canadians are known for their generosity - so the elephants will be getting an air lift from the Royal Canadian Air Force C-17.

And they'll get by with a little help from Mr. Barker!

How terribly sad is this???

A bottlenose dolpin off of Dana Point, Ca is currently morning over her dead calf, and while she's filled with sorrow, she doesn't plan on letting go of her baby anytime soon, so she's been carrying her tot on her back for several days now.

The footage of the funeral procession was captured by Captain David Anderson while he was hosting a Whale Watching Safari, and even though it was a sad sight, Anderson kept his composure and explained that he had never seen this type of behavior.

In the clip (above), you can see the mama carrying her deceased young, and we must say, the video broke our hearts.

Well, this is like that fairy tale Goldilocks and the story of the three bears except in reverse!

A couple of bears broke into the home of a California resident and started eating all of the man's food!

The worst part for the guy was the food, which he had left uncovered albeit inside his own house, was his mom's special home cooked meal!

So he didn't even get to enjoy it!

Eventually the local police and animal control were able to make the bears flee and run away, but by that point - they had eaten everything!!!

Check out the video and bear-tastic action by watching it (above) !!!

That's one special dog!

A dog named Mole will receive the Heroic Mutt Award from PETA after it rescued a man trapped between two boulders.

The dog was walking with its owner when it the mutt began pulling and whining towards something.

Later, Mole's owner found a hiker who had been trapped in the crevice for almost 4-6 days!

Here's what PETA said in a statement:

"Dogs are more than our best friends - as Mole demonstrated, they're our family members, our protectors, and our heroes. PETA hopes that Mole's tenacity and care will inspire anyone looking for a dog to head to an animal shelter - they're full of lovable, wonderful mutts just like Mole."

Luckily the man that Mole found is expected to make a full recovery!

Check more out about the story by watching the video (above) !!!

Kevin Dillon loves his dogs!

In fact - he loves 'em so much that he takes them everywhere he goes!

So when he grabs some coffee in Malibu, they're coming as well!

Not that we're complaining - we think they're absolutely adorable!

His new Entourage is A-OKAY in our books!

Plus you need friends in that Hollywood business, otherwise life can be pretty ruff!

This is absolutely terrible!!

A 24-year-old girl, Dianna Hanson, was interning at Project Survival's Cat Haven sanctuary in Dunlap, California.

Sadly, while inside a male lion's enclosure one night, she was attacked!

The Sheriff's Department released a statement:

"Upon arrival, deputies observed the victim, who appeared to be severely injured, inside the African lion enclosure with an adult male African lion. Another employee had made several attempts to distract the lion away from the victim and into another enclosure prior to the deputy's arrival, but all attempts failed. Deputies shot and killed the lion to provide medical attention to the victim. The victim died at the scene."

The sanctuary is now working with the Sheriff's Department to find out exactly what happened.

It's not known if Dianna was supposed to be in the cage or not, and the circumstances of the mauling aren't fully known.

This is just so awful.

Her friends and family are in our hearts and thoughts.

Check out the video (above) to learn a little bit more about the whole awful incident.
