It's been tough, looking at all the destruction in Oklahoma, caused by that awful recent tornado.

It's so terrible, thinking about how many people were injured or killed, and how many homes were destroyed.

But every once in a while, something wonderful happens.

We just mentioned a woman found her pet dog underneath the rubble of her destroyed home while giving an interview live on TV.

Now, another story of pet rescue:

Awww isn't appropriate for this story.

We're going to have to go with the all caps AWWW!!!

A dog was found and subsequently rescued along a creek in South Carolina, but it might have been the dog who was doing all the rescuing.

The dog was nursing a kitten at the bottom of an embarkment near the creek, and is believed to have been there with the kitty cat for at least two days!

89 dogs were rescued from an animal hoarder in the Mojave Desert.

And somehow, all 89 of the animals have miraculously survived!

What's even stranger is the person who originally called the would be rescuers, Karma Rescue, was the hoarder herself!

The woman realized there was no possible way for her to take care of so many dogs, and luckily she came to her senses before it was too late.

Not to say that the dogs were found completely unharmed!

Sea Lion pups must be getting bored with the ocean!

These little pups keep making their way out of the ocean and into beachside neighborhoods.

The little babies tend to get disoriented and need to be rescued.

Luckily, as we've previously mentioned, Sea World workers come to the scene to bring the pups back to the water.

Sometimes, the Sea Lions will get bored of the land, and make their way back to the ocean on their own.

But usually that's not the case and a rescue is needed.

If you live near the California coast and you see a Sea Lion, don't approach it, but call the cops and let them know a cute little baby animal is in need of some rescuing!

Check out the video (above) to see a little sea lion cutie hanging out far from home.

The newest and most horrible form of animal cruelty is called "trunking."

Trunking is where two fighting dogs are simply locked in the trunk of car.

Then the dogs fight to death as the owner drives around, blasting music to cover up the sound.

After ten or fifteen minutes, the owner pulls over, dumps the body of the dead dog and continues on with the winner, waiting until he heals up enough to fight again.

It's absolutely terrible and it's so good that there are people out rescuing these dogs, like Miami-Dade County Animal Services, who rescued a group of dogs that were thought to have been used for trunking.

Five adult dogs and four puppies were rescued from a man's home in terrible condition.

Check out the video (above) to see some of the cute pups who were rescued and to learn more about this horrible crime.

He even plugged their upcoming huge adoption event in LA!

Over 50 rescue groups will be gathering at the La Brea tar pits with over 1,000 adoptable animals!
