Dog Dies Tragic Unexpected Death After Splashing Around In Kiddie Pool

One of Winter the Border Collie’s favorite things on a hot summer day was to splash around and play in a water-filled baby pool in his backyard. But, on the very day his parents shot footage of Winter enjoying the water, the dog passed away.

He didn’t die in a way you may expect. It wasn’t from heat stroke or drowning. The young, energetic, 18-month-old pup died from a condition called water intoxication.

What Happened To Winter?

It was officially “pool season,” and Winter was ecstatic and in his element. Winter was well-known for loving water. He enjoyed frequent dips in the baby pool his mom would set up for him in his backyard and would excitedly jump into just about any place he could get his four paws wet. 

But what happened after he spent the day splashing around in the baby pool in his backyard was both unexpected and extremely tragic.

In the midst of an afternoon he spent cooling off from the scorching sun in his beloved baby pool, Winter suddenly became sleepy and adamant about getting back inside the house. After he asked multiple times, his mom, Jesse, decided to open the door. But after only a few steps, Winter began to vomit up a tremendous amount of water onto the floor. 

“I opened the door, he took a few steps, and he threw-up about the size of a round dinner table,  like that much water just in one go,” explained Jesse, his mom.

Immediately after he got sick, she rushed her beloved best friend to the vet. But his condition rapidly declined, and he died.  

Water Intoxication Is Rare But Real

Also known as hyponatremia, water intoxication occurs when your dog drinks too much water too quickly. This causes their body to lose sodium. The cells begin to fill with water and swell. If it gets to the point where the cells in their brain swell too much, it can affect their central nervous system and potentially become fatal.

While water intoxication may be rare, it’s important to know the warning signs. (Especially if your dog loves water like Winter did.)

If you’re spending the day where your dog could gulp too much water, you’ll want to look out for: 

  • your dog acting overly tired or more lethargic than usual
  • loss of coordination
  • excessive drooling 
  • difficulty breathing 
  • vomiting 
  • diarrhea

Experts agree that it doesn’t make sense to keep your dog from enjoying some summer fun, but if you suddenly see your dog acting strangely, do not hesitate to take them to the vet. Sudden symptoms could be a sign of something more serious. Winter was only playing in his pool for an hour, and it was only filled with four inches of water.

Your Dog Deserves To Win PEOPLE’s 2022 “World’s Cutest Rescue Dog Contest”

It’s the peak of summer now, which means it’s once again time for PEOPLE’s annual “World’s Cutest Rescue Dog Contest.” Sponsored by Pedigree®, The World’s Cutest Rescue Dog Contest gives adopters the chance to share their dogs’ incredible stories (and adorable faces) with the world.

All rescue dogs and the people who dedicate their lives to them deserve praise, and PEOPLE’s yearly contest really shows the value of rescuing a shelter dog, regardless of who wins.

Facebook

Beyond that, the dog who wins the title also gets some pretty cool prizes. The official World’s Cutest Rescue Dog wins a custom photoshoot, a feature both in PEOPLE magazine and on People.com, a year’s supply of Pedigree® dog food, and a $1,000 donation to the animal rescue organization of their choice.

How To Enter Your Rescue Dog

First: go to www.People.com/rescuedogcontest. Click the “Enter Contest” button. Then you just have to fill out the entry form, share a little bit about why your rescue dog is so special to you (no more than 150 words), and upload their photo. There’s no cost to enter the contest!

According to the contest rules:

  • You have to live within the 50 U.S. States or D.C. to enter.
  • All [human] participants must be at least 18 years old.
  • Each participant can only enter one (1) pet.

You can submit your entry between June 29 and August 10, 2022. Then, unfortunately, you’ll have to wait until October to find out who the winner is.

Instagram

Once submissions close, PEOPLE editors select 10 finalists from thousands of rescue dog entrants. After that, readers can vote to narrow the list down to a top 3. The grand prize winner will ultimately be chosen by the contest’s panel of judges: Akbar Gbajabiamila, Natalie Morales, Jerry O’Connell, PEOPLE Pets editor Kelli Bender, and Pedigree® Foundation ambassador Evan Satinoff.

View the more detailed rules and requirements here.

Previous “World’s Cutest Rescue Dog” Winners

2022’s will be the 5th consecutive World’s Cutest Rescue Dog Contest. Last year’s contest winner, a mixed breed dog named Heaven, beat out over 10,000 other rescue dogs to claim the title.

Heaven is part Chow Chow, part Labrador, part Boxer, and part Pekingese. As a former stray in Kentucky, Heaven eventually moved from an overcrowded shelter to the Starfish Animal Rescue in Illinois. After everything Heaven went through, she was very fearful (especially of men and the outdoors).

Instagram

According to Jackie Rakers, her adopter who submitted her to the contest, the rescue pup displayed “intense” anxiety at first. Rakers helped Heaven work through her fears, slowly introducing her to parks and dog-friendly businesses to become comfortable with new stimuli.

“Anytime a cart came past and made noise, or a man walked past, she learned that if she made eye contact with me instead of reacting, she got a treat. We worked through a lot of fears together.”

Today, Heaven has really “found her smile.” That toothy grin is now famous on Instagram (@heaven_is_a_dog has 15,000 followers). This formerly highly anxious dog has come a long way.

“I feel like the biggest thing that I learned from her was just not to give up,” Rakers told PEOPLE. “Heaven went through a lot really early in her life. Things that no dogs should have to go through. But she still loves life.”

Heaven’s predecessor, the 2020 World’s Cutest Rescue Dog, is a puppy mill survivor named Lamb Chop. Prior to that, the winner was another puppy mill survivor named Kacey.

Instagram

Even if your dog doesn’t win (outrageous!), this annual contest is a nice reminder that rescuing a dog has a huge impact on so many canine and human lives.

Firefighters Rescue Two Puppies Trapped In Underground Tortoise Den

On Monday, firefighters in Yucca Valley, California, responded to a distress call of two puppies trapped inside a tortoise den. For those of us who are unfamiliar with these archaic desert creatures, tortoises dig their burrows in the dirt and sand. And while generally shallow, they can occasionally tunnel upwards of thirty feet in length.

One such burrow that exists just outside of a Yucca Valley home is occupied by a one-hundred-pound tortoise named Oscar. This particular tortoise is looked after by the mother of the two puppies who center today’s story. He was rescued from a garbage dump, and the inspiration for his name was found in Oscar the Grouch from Sesame Street – a beloved green trash monster with a comically grumpy disposition.

Facebook

Desert tortoises are herbivores and generally considered harmless, though their body mass itself can be intimidating. And intimidated perfectly described the demeanor of two shepherd puppies who had become trapped inside the den and couldn’t find a way out.

Their owner suspected that the two notoriously adventurous puppies had been playing near the den and found entry. Once inside, however, Oscar the Tortoise came in behind them and blocked the only exit. While we’re unsure whether or not the puppies attempted to move past him, it’s safe to say they were likely intimidated by the size of the gentle giant and stayed put.

Facebook

When firefighters arrived on scene, they initially tried to lure Oscar out from the burrow with a piece of watermelon tied to a long stick. The officials were hoping that if they could move the tortoise out of the way, the puppies may come running out. However, the tortoise refused to move and did not fall for their tricks.

This led them to perform their backup plan: dig a sizeable hole on the opposite side of the burrow to free the trapped puppies. This plan, though not ideal, was successful, and in a video released by the San Bernandino County Fire Department, we can see officers reaching into the man-made hole and pulling out the puppies.

Facebook

The two five-month-old babes, Peo and Finn, were excited and thankful to be rescued. They showered the firefighters with kisses and snuggles before running over to their owner, reunited at last.

All three boys, Oscar included, are now safe-and-sound. The puppies are as adventurous and playful as ever, while Oscar, according to some sources, still hasn’t moved from his resting place in the sunny California desert.

State Trooper Adopts The Injured Dog He Went Above And Beyond To Save

The Memphis sun shined bright on the Birthplace of Rock N’ Roll this month, with temperatures reaching well into the eighties. Extreme temperatures like this can be dangerous for pets, causing breathing difficulties, lethargy, disorientation, and even heat stroke.

And while many loving pet owners spend their pre-summer days researching ways to beat the summer heat, this time of year can be particularly brutal for homeless pets. Without access to clean water or a cool place to rest their heads, dangerous temperatures can quickly turn a miserably hot day into a critical, life-or-death situation.

Facebook

Such was the case for a sweet female terrier that was found injured on the side of Highway 75 in Memphis. A Good Samaritan driving by saw the petrified pup stranded on the side of the road and immediately notified a nearby officer, who just so happened to be driving alongside her.

The police officer, Trooper Tudors, flashed his bright red and blue lights as he pulled onto the side of the highway and approached the dog. The pup was terrified of the officer but was too injured to move. It was later discovered that she had a broken pelvis and several internal injuries.

Facebook

Trooped Tudors cleared out his own jug of Kool-Aid and filled it with cool, clean water that the sweet girl lapped up immediately. He also fed her a Little Debbie cake for nourishment. Then, the kind-hearted Trooper did something that no one could have predicted. He pulled out a foldable chair and an umbrella and sat down next to the pup covering her with shade.

When asked why he decided to do such a thing, the trooped explained that he would stay there until the dog decided to trust him enough to take her to a shelter or his own home. Once she had decided that the Trooper was trustworthy after all, she was placed into the officer’s car and transported to Community Animal Hospital in Memphis for treatment.

Facebook

To the delight of all involved, it was announced that Trooper Tudors and his family had decided to adopt the dog once she was well enough to be released from the hospital. The family decided to name her Princess and have visited her every day at the clinic. There is no doubt that Princess will be treated with nothing but love and kindness by the Tudors family.

“Princess will join the Tudors family when she gets out of the vet hospital! YES! Trooper Tudors and his family have adopted her!” – Good Samaritan Kaye Fiorello

Sweet Pittie Seeks Forever Home After Being Abandoned By Three Families

Ava looking at camera

When the Valley Animal Center in Fresno, California, received a call that one of their previously adopted dogs had been found as a stray in another state, they were surprised to see that it was Ava. Her friends there weren’t sure why anyone would want to abandon such a sweet girl.

This isn’t the first time Ava has been found abandoned and suffering. But despite being dumped and mistreated multiple times, Ava remains an incredible love-bug.

Now this beautiful girl is looking for a final forever home.

Ava Smiles at camera
Facebook

It was back in 2016 that Ava was first found abandoned and alone in a field in Orange Cove, California. The poor pup was malnourished, underweight, and suffering from severe demodectic mange. 

Mange is a parasitic skin disease caused by mites that leaves pups extremely itchy. If left untreated, it can lead to lymph node inflammation, emaciation, and hair loss. 

That’s why Ava lost all her hair, and was covered in painful sores and scabs.

Ava arrives
Facebook

After another social media campaign, and local news coverage, Ava was able to find another family and was adopted in September of 2020. Just shy of a year after, Ava and her adopters visited the staff at an adoption event. Ava strode straight up to them with her huge smile and a happy, wagging tail. 

Everyone was so excited to see her, and they were happy to believe that she wouldn’t have to suffer any more mistreatment or tragedy.

Ava and staff
Facebook

When Ruben Cantu, the animal care adoption supervisor from the Valley Animal Center was informed that Ava had been found abandoned yet again, he rushed to the phone to contact her latest adopters. While he wasn’t able to speak to them himself, Las Vegas animal control conveyed the message that her actual adopters had moved and left her in the care of family members who decided to “cut Ava loose” and then relinquish their rights to her.

“To hear that Ava was abandoned yet again is very disheartening and makes me sick to my stomach. She has been through so much in her life and doesn’t deserve this,” said Ruben.

Facebook

It was Rebun and his wife who ventured to Las Vegas, so they could bring Ava back to Valley Animal Center, and attempt to find her the perfect forever home. 

Now that she is back in California, they are focusing on her well-being and health. She got a nice, comforting bath, and underwent surgery to remove some masses. 

Ava the beautiful
Facebook

This is now the third time Ava has been abandoned by her adoptive family, so it’s their highest priority to ensure that this sweet girl’s future does not include any more trauma or abandonment. 

According to Rebun, Ava is great with kids and other dogs. You can donate to Ava’s cause or inquire about adopting her by visiting the Valley Animal Center website.

United States Shelters Fill Up With Beagles From Testing Facilities

Beagles rescued from testing facility

In a matter of days, several humane societies across the United States received a large transport of Beagles from a testing facility. The Beagles were bred specifically for testing, so the groups included many puppies and adult females. Now, these dogs will receive love for the first time in their lives.

It’s unclear if all these Beagles are from the same testing facility, but it seems like an unusual coincidence if they’re not. Due to ongoing investigations, none of the shelters have disclosed the facility’s name and location. All that matters now is that these adorable dogs find the perfect forever homes!

Dozens of Beagles Escape Animal Testing

The Wisconsin Humane Society took in 30 Beagles, the Rhode Island Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RISPCA) received 40, and the Animal Humane Society in Minnesota is caring for 23. The Beagles are of varying ages and temperaments, but the one thing they have in common is that they were all bred for animal testing.

There may be more humane societies that took in Beagles, but these three are the ones being covered by news sites. Sadly, Beagles are the most common dog breed used for testing because they’re generally small and docile, making them easy to control. But no dog deserves to be put through a life of cruelty.

“The beagles were living in confined, unsanitary conditions – likely with very little socialization with humans,” said Angela Speed with the Wisconsin Humane Society. “This particular group does need extra medical care and behavior support.”

The Beagles seem to range anywhere from 8 weeks old to 8 years old. Some of the adult Beagles may be pregnant. Volunteers expected the dogs to be shy and closed off, but the younger ones seem excited to be free. Some of the older ones are still timid and overwhelmed, so they’ll need lots of patience.

Give a Beagle a Home!

Each humane society has a different process, but soon, all the Beagles will be up for adoption and looking for the perfect place to live out the rest of their lives. Anyone willing to adopt, foster, volunteer, or donate will be greatly appreciated at all these organizations.

“We have not ever had a large relinquishment of animals that came from a medical facility, so this is new to us,” said RISPCA President Wayne Kezirian. “Interestingly, our understanding is that a lot of times, these animals are severely under socialized.”

Most of these Beagles will need serious medical attention before they can get adopted. So, each dog’s timeline will vary based on their condition. Some have already been adopted or put on hold due to an excess of applications.

If you’re interested in adopting a Beagle, keep an eye on the “adoptable dogs” pages:

Even if you cannot adopt one of these Beagles, please consider donating to help the shelters support these extra dogs!

What do iHeartDogs Readers Think About Pet Insurance?

Is Pet Insurance Worth It? - We asked [33] Dog Owners and Here's What They Said

Pet insurance is "worth it" if you can afford the cost of the insurance, but could not afford an emergency vet bill. However, the best plan is to only get a pet if you can afford vet care, & to have a special savings account set aside for pet emergency care. - Louise 

Very much worth it. I have Nationwide. It used to be VPI. It doesn’t cover things in full, but it very much helps. More then paid for itself with my first two dogs. Haven’t needed it much with the two I have now but if something happens, I won’t hesitate to get the best treatment I can. It really helps. - Beth

Yes it is worth it. But you need to shop wisely for it. I have care credit that is used when needed. With no excluded treatments because it's up to me! Great rates and options to pay back. Saved my bank account a number of times. - Jennifer

Always worth it with my previous pet dog, Louie (French bulldog) and current pet dog, Lucy (dachshund).
It’s more than paid for itself each time. Unless you can cough up $10,000 for an emergency surgery I suggest you get pet insurance. Healthy Paws I highly recommend!!! - Leo

My vet one time said...my a "Dogs are Expensive" account. Whatever the going rate for pet insurance is...say $100...put that monthly in the "D A E" account. If you are ahead at the end of the year roll that money over....then, if you do need a big sum you have it, and if you don't the $ is in your pocket and not the insurance company's... whatever you decide..good luck! - Peggy

With my last dog no. I paid 17 years and never made a claim. With the two I have now definitely. My JR managed to get a dog toy piece stuck in her intestine - hugh, expensive op so worth it. I don't like the fact that even though my dogs are both young, the premium has gone way up however. 3&2 are not senior dogs. - Kit

Before just checking quotes check with your vet or ones in your area. The one problem with many pet insurances it actually may affect the cost a vet or clinic may charge for a service based on what they may have to pay or what they need to do get paid. For example a base xray charge may be $100 if you pay yourself but say you use insurance A that may cost the clinic so much a year to be a member or requires so much documentation or takes so long for payment may increase the charge to $130-150 .Then if you have a deductible you will be paying more. Your vet will also know which ones are more reliable for your area and for the needs for your breed. - Candi

I would never have a pet without insurance. Way too risky for those sudden and age related injuries/health issues . Everyday check- ups and vaccines are incidental costs compared to many things that can go wrong w ur furry family member ❤️ - Holly

I'm furious that insurance companies have now made owning pets incredibly expensive. Once insurance companies enter into the equation, the price for everything goes "through the roof." I wish these monsters would be regulated and insurance, health care was NON PROFIT!!!!!! - Rhonda

Yes Healthy Paws has been great. My Boston is on constant eye meds for about 6 years and 2 surgeries. I have 80 percent and they pay right away. - Lynda

Worth it if you plan ahead. One of my dogs I adopted and got insurance a year or so later and insurance has denied EVERYTHING…even an ear infection at 10 years old, as a preexisting condition because she had one when she was 3years old. My other dog I got insurance right away (lesson learned!) and it has been a huge benefit because ten years later he had significant medical expenses that were covered at 90% I could not be more thankful to have the insurance - Shannon

Definitely worth every penny! Our Shitz tore her ACL, swallowed my husband’s hearing aid, puts everything in her mouth!!! We have Healthy Paws. Very pleased. Just wish we went with 90% coverage instead of 80%. Get it BEFORE they have an issue!! - Jan

Nope not worth it. I love my babies but, it's like human insurance, Hardly worth getting. More n likely whatever your pet has insurance won't cover it so your still gonna pay out the ying yang. So here we are paying out the ying yang for insurance and still paying high dollar to a vet. - Nancy

Yes. My sweet hound developed allergies. The insurance covers are $73. Apoquel prescription plus everything else that goes wrong. She had a cough with meds the bill was over $400. Very happy we have insurance. - Pamela

Yes! For 10 years I never had to use it. Then my dog got very sick and needed to go to the animal hospital. She was diagnosed with diabetes and cushings disease and the costs for all the medications and testing she undergoes until we get her regulated is exorbitant. With the insurance I’ve been getting most of it back. - Erica

Worth it! Preventative/wellness services usually aren't included with accident/injury plans, but most insurances offer that separately (for more money). Get coverage asap when you get a pet... preexisting conditions are almost never covered and the older a dog gets, the higher the cost gets. I had Nationwide through my previous employer. The plans were supposed to follow my pets for life, after I left the job, but (long story short) the plans were cancelled. So now I'm getting new insurance through ManyPets for a dog who was 9 when I got the Nationwide plan, but is now 13 - with preexisting conditions. For all three of my dogs, it's about $235/month (that's with the optional wellness plans added for each). But if anything happens to any of my "kids", I pay a $250 annual deductible, then ManyPets covers 80% - with no lifetime limit. - Andrea

Yes. It's worth it. You never know what might happen. I see so many go fund me's to help animals when insurance would have covered it. Fyi, Trupanion is slightly more expensive but can pay the Vet directly if the Vet is signed up on their system. I have my 2 dogs and 2 cats covered. - Blythe
