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.

Move over cats-on-the-internet, a puppy has stolen the online cute-crown.

Although, the term ‘cute’ doesn’t even cut it when it comes to Eisleigh and Clyde, the 10-week-old-baby and the eight-week-old pit bull puppy, who clearly have nothing but love for each other.

A video of Clyde scampering up to Eisleigh she sits quietly in her baby recliner has gone viral, clocking up 644,000 views on YouTube, as it shows how well the pair go together.

The puppy walks up to the recliner, climbs in and cuddles up to baby Eisleigh, before nestling down with his head next to hers, making the baby smile.

Eisleigh’s mother Brandi Hodges, 25, of North Carolina, posted the video onto YouTube with the message: “They absolutely adore one another!” She also has an Instagram account that she uses to detail the pair’s relationship and her family life, with pictures showing her baby and her puppy cuddling up together in different places.

Ms Hodges is a self-professed animal lover, and constantly places pro-pitbull hashtags such as "#pitbullawareness" and "#educationnoteuthanisation" on her pictures.
