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.

Rescuers are hoping to find a home for a poodle shih-tzu who's pleading gaze resembles that of a human face.

The dog, named Tonik, was due to be put down before he was saved in the nick of time and taken to the Homeward Bound Animal Welfare Group in Mishawaka, Indiana.

Tonik's survival and newfound fame mean he joins a growing menagerie of creatures that bear an uncanny resemblance to human beings.

The benefits of any pet companion that looks human are self-evident (who's walking who?), but - if you had to (and since it's Friday, you do) - which one would you adopt? Take a look in the gallery above.
