5 dog stories that will warm your heart this Christmas

She was happy and sad, because she would have liked to keep him. It turns out it was her parents who adopted Rambo, who is now living happily at their Seiling, Oklahoma home. Hallee Fuqua was thrilled to be reunited with the dog, but will still volunteer at the animal shelter.

Ward staff at Russells Hall Hospital in Dudley have given rescue dogs a merry Christmas. Besides caring for their patients, the staff handed hampers of treats for the dogs homed at Rainbow Dog Trust in Wombourne. Ward clerk Tracie Cash came up with the idea after losing her dog to cancer in September. She said she is not quite ready for another dog yet, but wanted to do something for charity. They now hope the dogs will find a fur-ever home.
