With the holidays once again upon us, pumpkin pie often finds it's way to the dinner table for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and this year even at Thanksgivukkah where you'll find folks slicing up that pie for the mash-up celebration of two holidays. But what about our furry friends at the Wolf Park in Battle Creek, Indiana?

Shoppers in multiple states are getting the shock of their lives after discovering live black widow spiders nestled inside bags of grapes. My advice? Eat a bag of Skittles instead, and save yourself the risk of being killed by an arachnid. If it makes you feel better, a fifth of the Skittles are grape flavored!

Wish this reporter luck when he tries to get an interview with this turkey.  This bird is mad.  Maybe it has to do with the time of the year.  Revenge is sweet...

I'm just gonna state this: fire fighters are some of the bravest people alive.  I have a friend who has been one for years, and he's done stuff that I can't imagine doing.  What this guy does in this video raises my trust in the human race... and it gave me one of those smiles that you get when you're crying at the same time.

Earlier this month a woman traveling through Chicago's O'Hare airport got the surprise of her life when she just happened to discover an alligator beneath an escalator. She went to tell a maintenamce worker and at first they thought she was playing a prank. On investigating the report they found that there was, indeed, a small alligator about two-feet long hiding under an escalator in Terminal 3. He was cold and alone.

Pet dander, fur, hair, skin and feathers are a challenge to clean up in our homes. Shedding is nature's way of getting rid of dead cells so new ones can take their place, but they are a main cause of air pollution in your home, and the number one allergy trigger.  To make a 'clean sweep' of your home, you're going to need some strong suction to remove your pets' shedding.  Here are five of the best upright vacuum cleaners that, as it happens, specialize in pet hair!

Whether you’re moving across the nation or the other side of the planet, chances are good that you’ll want to take your animal buddies with you. Luckily there are a host of professional animal moving options, but be very careful who you choose to trust with your money and beloved pets!

You can keep your dog clean and dry while enjoying the outdoors with Hurtta Pet Collection Outdoor Overalls. Just like human overalls they protect from a number of problems. In the case of dogs this can include dirt, water, manure, and burrs -- so many things that you don't want to have to deal with after a day of fun.

Um... I can't really find the words to describe the cuteness on display here.  Picture eating your favorite dessert then riding a unicorn to see a host of angels sing your favorite song while you drink champagne....

When an animal control officer responded to a call earlier this year about a dog barking in a ravine they thought that the poor pup had become trapped down there. Reality turned out to be much different. The little Shih Tzu-mix was indeed calling for help, but not just for herself but for the tiny kitten she had rescued and was suckling at her own teats. The dog could have left to save herself, but her mother's heart wouldn't let her leave her kitten behind.

That’s just not fair! I’d totally watch the Kentucky Derby if C-3P0 and the Terminator were racing horses, but in the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, the popular sport of camel racing relies on remote controlled robot jockeys. So cool!

Apparently Rocket the horse has a habit of being accident prone. In the past he has managed to get stuck under a trailer in his pasture when he was younger and get tangled in a fence more recently. So it wasn't a total surprise to his owner, Brandi Brady, of Louisville, Colorado, when he was discovered stuck in a well last month.

I'm not one to jump on the band-wagon with celebrity trends, but I can't ignore that both Lil Bub and Grumpy Cat have caught my attention.  And I want to rub their bellies.  There.  I said it.

It’s that time of year again: The air is getting chilly, the orange, brown and yellow leaves have just been raked, and the weather report says that there’s going to be a fresh layer of snow on the ground in the morning. Just as you get yourself ready for winter, it’s time to prepare your dogs and cats for the frostiest months of the year!

The Animal Care & Control Team of Philadelphia (ACCT Philly) is holding a special Black Friday Adoption Event featuring discounted adoption fees on all pets and fee-waived adoptions on black animals. The November 29th, 2013 event takes a page from major retailers' Black Friday advertising by staying open for extended hours so you can shop now, adopt later!

Real deer, up close and personal, are not a cuddly Disney cartoon. They are big, gangly, and strong. So when Jeff Slygh received a call from a neighbor last Sunday asking him to rescue a deer from an icy lake near Duluth, Minnesota, it was a task that he did not take on lightly.  He had an idea what he was up against though. He had rescued a Labrador retriever from that same frozen lake eight years ago.

Okay, I'm gonna say this up front.  I love bacon.  If possible I would make an entire bacon suit then eat it throughout the course of the day--then sit in the doctor's office and await the prognosis.  Then do it again.  But watching this little guy gives me a pang of guilt...

Some call Andy McPherson, "The Polar Bear Whisperer," but this Canadian wildlife guide refutes the claim indicating he can't "Doolittle with the Bears!" Instead he's manage to manage the unmanageable - he's come up with techniques to keep those frisky critters "off balance."

This little canine is hell-bent and determined to get the floaty thing.  It's admirable to see such focus in an animal--and it is with admiration that I state that humans should have such tenacity.

You have heard about throwing yourself on someone's mercy. For one young pit bull it was a literal act as she threw herself through the open window of a police car into a policeman's lap to ask for help. The officer had the surprise of his life to find himself suddenly covered grateful dog. It is a story he will be telling his grandchildren about.
