Harley, a six-year-old Goldendoodle, is a certified therapy dog with a heart of gold. He has brought joy to many with his visits to care centers, libraries, and by being a loving companion to his cat sibling and grandkids. But on a fine summer day in Culper, Virginia, Harley became a hero when he spotted a fawn struggling to swim in the lake behind his home. Without hesitation, Harley jumped into action and encouraged the fawn to swim to safety.

Ralph and Patricia Dorn, Harley’s pawrents, were not surprised by their furry family member’s heroic act. As Ralph put it, “We could tell right away, even as a puppy, he had such a good heart. He has always been like that with children and animals. He loves them all.” Ralph shared the heartwarming moment on Facebook, where it went viral.

Harley stayed with the fawn until they made it to shore, and the mama deer was reunited with her little one. But Harley wasn’t ready to say goodbye just yet. The following day, Harley was restless and kept running from window to window. When Ralph opened the door, they heard the bleating of a baby deer. Harley ran into the tree line and found the fawn, and they touched noses and sniffed each other before Harley calmly returned home with Ralph.

Harley’s heroic act has touched the hearts of many on social media, and the Dorns have been overwhelmed by the love and support from the dog community. As Ralph said, “We’re very happy that it has touched so many people and brought joy to so many as well.” Harley’s story is a testament to the kindness and selflessness that dogs can possess, and his golden heart will continue to inspire us all.

Roo, an 8-week-old Labrador mix, was named after a ‘kangaroo’ because she hops on her hind legs. When she walks though, rather than using all fours like most animals, Roo leans on her elbows with her bottom in the air. Roo was born with six legs – two more in the front than a typical dog would have – so she has some difficulty moving as a normal dog does.

Lauren Salmon’s 15-year-old son, Luke, found Roo advertised by a breeder online. Their family knew they had to have her since she was born with a defect and the likely outcome if the breeder couldn’t find her home would be euthanasia. When they arrived at the farm to collect her, she came bounding out of her enclosure and leaped up on her hind legs in excitement. Despite her disability, she was obviously full of life, and they could tell right away how much joy she brought them.

“She’s full of puppy energy, so we’d describe her as placid but playful. There are not many dogs like Roo out there,” Salmon told Fox News. “I think the breeders kill them off because they’re not worth anything, but to us she’s priceless.”

Roo and Luke have become best friends since Roo came home, and he knows exactly how it feels to be an outsider. While attending school, Luke was constantly bullied due to his psoriasis–a skin condition that creates red patches all over the body. Now he has a new best friend, and so does Roo!

In addition to new loving humans, Roo also has a new doggy sibling, along with two cats and two rabbits. Salmon is now working with Dr. Noel Fitzpatrick to see how they can improve Roo’s mobility. Although her two extra legs hinder her from walking normally, they do not cause her any pain.
