Veterinary technician Carmen Bernard found a Siamese kitten on the road - its legs were all twisted up and later she found out it was blind.

Because of its condition - the cat, who's been named Pretzel, found it very painful to walk and needed help just to manage.

When Carmen took Pretzel to the vet - the animal doctor gave Carmen two options. The first option was to put Pretzel to sleep, and the second option was to prepare for a lot of surgery.

Carmen couldn't bear to put Pretzel to sleep, and after many months the kitty cat is prepping for its final operation to once and for all be healthy enough to walk!

We don't just mean having a dog will fill your heart with feelings of joy and contentment.

We mean that the American Heart Association released a study that had a panel of experts review years of data on the cardiovascular benefits of owning a pet!

The group found that owning a pet, specifically a dog, was "probably associated" with a reduced risk of heart disease.

This is so sad!

A five week old kitten was doused in gasoline before it was set on fire in what authorities are calling a prank gone wrong!

But somehow the kitten named Justin has gotten remarkably healthier since then and is even playing with its vets!

But the kitten still needs a lot of help and the medical bills are piling up!

Naki'o is a cute rescue dog who is one lucky guy.

As a puppy, he lost all four of his paws and the tip of his tail to frostbite.

He was found frozen in a puddle in the basement of an abandoned home.

Luckily, Naki'o's owner got him four prosthetic paws!

Now he can run around and play just like other dogs.

He doesn't need a special chair to wheel around in or anything, he's just like any other normal dog now and it's ahmayzing!

Way to go, science and medicine! Save those doggies!

Check out the video (above) to see Naki'o the bionic dog in action.

Tia Mowry-Hardrict recently went vegan, and during a recent Google+ hangout she was asked how hard it was to go vegan and what the toughest part about being vegan is.

She explained her diet is really about fruits, veggies and protein. Fresh produce, beans, quinoa, etc.

The thing that she noticed was a major change was that she now cooks tons of food and stores it.

It seems like if you're vegan and you don't plan ahead, you really won't have anything to eat.

And that just sounds awful.

She's so into cooking now she was thinking about starting her own cookbook!!

Check out the video (above) to hear all about what it takes to make the switch to go full vegan!
