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.
Haatchi
He might not be a cuddly puppy or a lovely labrador, but this Anatolian shepherd dog has a heart of gold (despite, sob, losing his leg and tail after being tied to train tracks). He’s the constant companion of seven-year-old Owen Hopkins, who suffers from a rare genetic condition. If Haatchi doesn’t sound angelic enough, he and Owen spend their spare time raising money for a number of charities. Give that dog a bone.
Lassie
Not so much cute as very capable and cool-headed in a crisis. A great best friend.
Andrex puppy
Soft, strong and very long... no wait, that’s the product, not the pup. Very sweet, though.
Pudsey
Anyone who can convince Simon Cowell that they’re the most talented mammal in Britain is a very good doggy indeed.
Boo
Aka the cutest dog in the world, Boo has his own website, merchandise, book and more than 2 million Facebook fans on his side.
Uggie
The real star of “The Artist” showed that you don’t need to be able to speak to have Oscar-worthy cuteness.
