Your support helps us to tell the story

This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. 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.
