The furry friends that hold a special place in our hearts leave lasting impacts that are oftentimes unforgettable.
From the childhood dog you grew up with, to the cat you adopted while living alone who became your roommate — pets and their quirky behaviors can bring countless benefits to humans.
Not all four-legged friends are so lucky. In Phoenix, thousands of domesticated animals are homeless and living in harsh conditions. Whether born unhoused or left behind by previous owners, shelters around the city reported 90,000 unwanted suffering animals turned over in 2012.
