What is up with people throwing dogs in the trash?!

Stop it!!!

A cocker spaniel was severely abused before it was thrown in the trash - luckily the doggy was found on the side of the road.

The owners have been arrested and have been charged with multiple counts of animal cruelty.

But the dog, whose name is Samurai, is still going to need a good home to come to once Samurai is out of physical therapy.

Samurai can barely walk and is still a month away from being recovered.

Terrible that some heartless folks could do this to a poor defenseless animal, but at least the pup is on its way to a better home!

Well, this is straight out of an Alfred Hitchcock movie.

Residents of a small New Jersey suburb woke up to find more than a hundred vultures staring at them from on top of their roofs.

And unsurprisingly the residents want the scary birds to go the eff away!

Authorities are less concerned about people being frightened, but are rather perturbed about the possible damage these birds might cause to peoples' houses. If they do not leave soon - the repair costs could rise very high!

One effective way to rid the town of the vultures is to hang a dead vulture upside down as a warning to other vultures to stay away.

We kid you not.

Here's how one resident described it:

"The vulture effigy is a visual deterrent to the birds for that season but they may come back in future seasons."

The effigy costs about $5,000 per dead bird. Is there no other way to get rid of these pest birds???

Check out a creepy video of the vultures lined up on people's houses (above) !!!

We already knew that the mayor of Newark was the people's champion.

But it turns out that he's the canine champion, too!

Cory Booker was alerted by a news reporter that someone had left their dog outside in absolutely freezing weather.

Booker personally went down to where the dog was at, and held him for warmth until he was able to contact the owner.

He did and it was a good thing too! The owner had no idea his dog was outside!

This dog is lucky…but you have to cheese it, you CHEESE IT!!!!

After a black lab fell 100 ft and walked back home in England, a beagle has survived a crazy situation herself!

Brandi got away from her owner, and a bridge officer followed the pooch as she walked the Burlington-Bristol bridge towards Pennsylvania.

The officer, Rob Bittner, slowed traffic but when motorists tried to grab the pooch, she made a run for the edge and jumped off.
