Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Dogs are great aren't they. While cats are there like "Yeah, maybe see you later when I get hungry", dogs are waiting attentatively by your side all: 'PLEASE DON'T DIE I LOVE YOU!'

One owner put his pup to the test, sinking into a lake until his head was completely submerged.

His loyal pet waited for about five seconds, but after seeing no signs of movement leapt up and majestically jumped into the water, trying to nudge the man to shore with his nose.

He then even grabbed him by the hand and tried to pull him out of danger, only letting go when he was certain that his owner was okay.

Uploaded last week, the video already has over 1,3 million views.
