The dogs were sitting in the middle of the busy road and refused to move an inch which arose curiosity at the drivers. But as they drove closely by the animals, they all realized how they were trying to protect their friend who was hurt from being hit by a car. When it got clear the poor dog wouldn’t get off the road, they decided to stand guard.

Dogs truly are incredible friends and their loyalty towards humans and those of their kind knows no end.

The day started as any other for Pittsburg Police Officer Kristin Mitrisin and she never assumed it will turn into a stressful event that will make her a hero.
As parents Joe and Jody Schleicher were driving along a highway, the mom noticed something wasn’t right with their 9-day-old baby daughter. All of a sudden, the tiny human stopped breathing. Her husband recalled how his wife started yelling: “She’s not breathing. She’s not breathing I have to get her out of the car seat,” as per WPXI News.

The traffic was busy and heavy and reaching the hospital or waiting for the ambulance to arrive wasn’t possible. Luckily, an angel in the form of an officer came along the way. Joe noticed the Officer Mitrisin in her patrol car and started beeping the horn in an attempt to attract her attention.
“He reaches out to me, the baby’s turning blue in her face and in her nose. So, he said, ‘please, my baby can’t breathe help me,’” Officer Mitrisin told CBS Local News. Thankfully, she knew exactly what to do. She took the baby in her arms, took her to the gate of her police pickup truck, and started chest compression.

As she was trying to save the baby’s life, officer Mitrisin noticed a correction officer approaching. She asked him to take out a defibrillator, but just as she said that, she heard the little one taking a deep breath.
“The baby took a breath, then there was a couple more seconds, another large breath, and then we got a few more shallow breaths, and then she started crying. And that was the best sound to hear,” said Officer Mitrisin.
“Just thought, you know, what we have to do to get baby Olivia breathing. The mom said her name was Olivia, so I just kept saying ‘c’mon baby Olivia, we can do this.’ And I just kept doing the CPR on baby Olivia.”

At the time being, baby Olivia is at the hospital, awaiting surgery for a heart condition, but she’s doing just fine all thanks to the quick-thinking officer.
“I just know that God put me there that day at that time to help that baby,” officer Mitrisin said.
Joe and Jody are forever grateful to the heroic officer who saved their baby’s life. After Olivia’s surgery, they are planning on organizing a reunion between her and Mitrisin.

We, as humans, tend to judge others for their acts without being aware of the struggles they are going through. However, abandoning a helpless child is something I can never find an excuse for.
Recently, a two-year-old boy was left at a Goodwill store with a note written on a paper towel and a plastic bag with some clothes and some food. Witnesses say the boy was brought inside the store by a man who then left the poor kid behind. Before leaving the place, the man approached one of the employees and told them that “the child’s mother couldn’t care for him,” as per WREG News.

The boy couldn’t speak, but when asked about his age, he held up two fingers. Luckily, shortly after he was abandoned, the police managed to identify him.
According to the employees, the boy wasn’t really dressed up properly considering how cold it was outside, but seemed happy and was very playful.
Currently, he’s under the custody of Mississippi Child Protective Services, but no further information has been revealed.

In the meantime, the police arrested a suspect who is in custody. However, no names have been revealed.
We truly hope this boy will get the care he deserves in the future.
Queen Elizabeth canceled her trip to Northern Ireland which was supposed to take place few days back. Reports are that she delayed the visit until further notice after she was advised by her doctors not to travel and to take some rest.
Buckingham Palace released a statement regarding the cancellation, saying it was due to health reasons not related to the coronavirus. They didn’t provide any further details, whatsoever.
“The Queen has reluctantly accepted medical advice to rest for the next few days,” a Buckingham Palace spokesman said.
“Her Majesty is in good spirits and is disappointed that she will no longer be able to visit Northern Ireland, where she had been due to undertake a series of engagements today and tomorrow.
“The Queen sends her warmest good wishes to the people of Northern Ireland, and looks forward to visiting in the future.”

Sky News reports that the purpose of the two-day trip was to mark the recent renaming of the Hillsborough Castle into Royal Hillsborough Castle. Further, Her Majesty the Queen was supposed to attend a church service at St. Patrick’s Church to “commemorate the centenary of the foundation of Northern Ireland.” This event was dubbed controversial after the president of Ireland refused to be part of it.
According to Sky News royal correspondent Rhiannon Mills, Queen Elizabeth “has all of the best possible help around her and she lives a very privileged life but for 95 years old she has been undergoing a very busy work schedule.”

Recently, The Queen has been spotted using a cane. The last time she used one to help her walk was back in 2003 and 2004 after a knee surgery.
This year, she was given the “Oldie of the Year” award by the Oldie magazine, but she didn’t accept it. In their latest issue, the magazine published that The Queen’s private secretary Tom Laing-Baker, said, “Her Majesty believes you are as old as you feel, as such The Queen does not believe she meets the relevant criteria to be able to accept and hopes you will find a more worthy recipient.”

Prior to the doctors’ advice not to travel, The Queen was also told to cut on the alcohol intake. The Palace said she didn’t mind that because she wasn’t really drinking much. She only enjoys dry martini in the evenings and has a glass of wine with her lunch every now and then.
Queen Elizabeth’s work schedule is quite demanding, especially for someone her age. The good thing is that her son, Prince Charles, who is heir to the throne, as well as her grandson, Prince William, are always ready to step in.
“Her family will step up and be by her side, but she will carry on,” a source told People earlier this year.
“She understands that she has a job to do, and [Philip] would have wanted her to crack on. She did do so when he retired from public life.
“She will never abdicate because of duty and honor and public service is so deep in her, as it was for him.”

We truly hope The Queen isn’t experiencing any serious health issues and all she needs in order to get better is to take some break from all the commitments.
Don Chatten is the man who proved to us once again that not all heroes wear capes. It’s our everyday brave actions that determine our value as individuals who contribute to the well-being of other living creatures.
During a visit at the Bark Park at Ellicott Creek Park, Don and his two rescue dogs heard strange noises coming from a creek. It resembled whimpering and a cry for help, and both Don and the canines knew someone was in big trouble.
Soon enough, they realized it was a tiny pup who was in need of urgent help as it was stuck at the icy water. Knowing that the time was running out for the poor soul, Don didn’t hesitate even a bit before he entered the cold water. He managed to crack the ice and get the tiny Terrier Mix back to safety.
As it turned out, the dog’s name was Jackson and he went missing a couple of days before Don spotted him and rescued him. His owners were beyond thankful to Don for saving their little one and bringing him home.
As everyone is praising Don for his bravery, he says that his dogs were actually the real heroes because they were the ones who spotted something unusual was taking place and heard Jackson crying in the first place.
The news about Mark Harmon leaving NCISafter many years and 18 successful seasons caused quite a stir. Fans were deeply disappointed by this decision and many agreed that the show can never be the same without the iconic role he played, that of Leroy Jethro Gibbs.
The show’s producers said the door is always wide open in case Harmon decides to return, but whether that will happen in the future remains unclear.
Besides being a successful actor, Harmon is also a loving husband and a devoted father who always puts his family first. He and his wife, model and actress Pam Dawber, have been married for 30 years and are still deeply in love with one another.

Asked about the secret to his long and successful marriage, Harmon says there isn’t any. Apparently, he needed to kiss a lot of frogs to get where he is today. One thing, however, he believes helped is their age at the time they decided to tie the knot. “We were both in our 30s when we got married, so hopefully the stupid stuff, we did earlier. That’s probably the closest I have to what the key is,” he told People.
Harmon and Dawber met at a party thrown by a mutual friend. They married in 1987 at a chapel at the Harvard-Westlake School in Studio City, California, in an intimate wedding ceremony attended by few of their closest friends and family only.
At the time, both were well-known actors already. Harmon gained fame starring in 240 Robert, Flamingo Road,The Love Boat, and the drama St. Elsewhere. Dawber, on the other hand, got her breakthrough with the television series Mork & Mindy, where she starred alongside late Robin Williams. “It was clear. He was so adorable and so funny,” she told ABC in 2020, speaking of Williams. “He just had it. And that was it. It was just like, “Where do I sign?’”

Harmon and Dawber have two sons together, Sean Harmon and Ty Christian Harmon.
When they were born, Dawber decided to slow down and put her career on hold. She did appear in some series, but not as a regular, because she wanted to spend more time with her family. In fact, she believes that if two people are fully engaged in acting, the relationship between them is not likely to survive because of all the commitment and time the profession requires.
“I was in a number one show, I had my own deal, I got to do Broadway, I got to do musical theater. I got to do cartoon voices,” Dawber told Entertainment Online. “Did everything you can do in this business, and then I had children and it’s like, ‘I’m not going to chase this fame thing.’
“I wanted to drive my kids to school, I wanted to be there for their birthdays and bring cupcakes and donuts and do the school festivals and all that, and I did,” she added. “It was a different life then and I was very happy to do it.”

Both Harmon and Dawber agree on keeping their private lives out of the spotlight.
“It’s not even a choice. It’s who we are,” Mark said years later. “We stay home. A lot. I’m not a Twitter guy or a Facebook guy. Our sons aren’t into that either. Pam and I have both made a living in this business, and still, there’s a part of that, that’s just not natural.”

As their children are now grown-ups, Dawber returned to acting, but she doesn’t do it full time.
In 2020, she appeared in seven episodes of NCIS as Marcie Warren, a character described by the show as “a seasoned investigative journalist.”
“My husband is so supportive of me. He’s just a giving, great guy. He just gives me attagirl’s, you know? It’s fun because Gibbs grunts out a lot of lines. He doesn’t give a lot. So they go toe-to-toe,” she told EW.
“He frustrates the hell out of Marcie. So they’ve got this oddball relationship where they’re checking each other out. She doesn’t understand whether is he a truth-teller. Is this guy for real? And he’s thinking sort of the same thing about her.”

These two seem like an amazing couple. We are glad they love and respect each other more and more with each passing day.
“Nothing on Earth so beautiful as the final haul on Halloween night,” – Steve Almond.
For many, October is the best month of the year. Everything is covered in the beautiful shades of the brown and yellow color and the smell of the fresh air brings a lot of memories. Between the yummy candies and the trick or treating, choosing the right costume has to be the highlight of the holiday.
The truth is that no matter how old one is, the excitement over Halloween is impossible to avoid.
Evan Struckman, a 10-year-old boy from Missouri, knew exactly how to dress for the school’s costume party. His mother Jill shared that her son was eager to put on a Tony Stark mask, the character behind the much loved superhero Iron Man played by Robert Downey Jr.
He wore over-sized glasses, a snazzy suit and a goatee, and nailed the look.
Speaking to TODAY Parents, mom Jill explained, “Evan loves getting dressed up — and he was especially excited that day. It was hard to get his makeup on straight because he was smiling so much.”
Evan practically sprinted to the bus and was truly looking forward to the fun. Unfortunately, some 20 minutes later, Jill got a call from school officials who told her that her son had been teased for his costume in the bus and was left very upset.
Jill went to pick him up and all Evan did was kept apologizing for ruining the makeup his mom worked hard on. “He kept saying, ‘we worked so hard on it,’” Jill said. “He was really thinking about how I would feel, which tells you a lot about him.”
As it turned out, some kids laughed at him, saying his mask looked stupid.
Despite being left in tears, Jill didn’t let her son’s day to be ruined. She asked him whether he wanted to return to the party, to what he nodded.
“He was a little scared walking back into school,” Jill told TODAY Parents. “But he had a great rest of the day. And he was so proud of himself. It was absolutely a defining moment in his life. If he hadn’t gone back, it would have broken his spirit.”
Once she shared Evan’s story, she received a huge number of messages from people who were expressing their support.
“Thanks for all the sweet words (and offers to beat up 10-year-olds) lol,” she wrote in one of her updates. “I do appreciate you all.”
The great thing is that Halloween wasn’t ruined for Evan and he had great time.
At the age of 70, Richard Gere still looks as stunning as back in the old days. What’s most, he feels young and enjoys his life to the fullest. In April of this year, the actor and his wife Alejandra Silva, 37, welcomed a baby boy in their life. They have another son together, and Richard has a 20-year-old son from his marriage with ex-wife Care Lowell.

The A-list actor who is best knows for his roles in Pretty Woman and An Officer and a Gentleman has been married three times. His first wife is the world famous model Cindy Crawford. The two tied the knot back in 1991 in a private ceremony in Las Vegas. At the time, both of them were extremely popular and reached many headlines as paparazzi would follow their every step.
However, four years later, they decided to put an end to their marriage. Cindy, who would always say she loved being around Richard said how the age gap between the pair was the main reason they divorced.
“I think I was more willing at 22 to be, like, ‘Okay, I’ll follow,’ but then you start going, ‘Well, I don’t want to just follow — I want to lead sometimes and I want to walk side by side sometimes,’” she admitted at the time.
Seven years later, Richard married model and actress Carey Lowell. In 2000, they welcomed their first child, Homer James Jigme. Homer was named after his parents’ fathers and was given the Tibetan name Jigme as Richard fought for human right in Tibet and felt a close connection to the people there.
In an interview with the Guardian, Richard said how the decision to have a child was spontaneous and just felt right. “It was actually quite simple. I never had an issue about children one way or the other. With Carey, she had a child from a previous marriage, and it was just a natural thing, caring for this child, having our own child. It was totally spontaneous and right.”
Richard felt fulfilled and loved his new role, the best he ever had, that of a father. “The marginal stuff just doesn’t affect you any more when you weigh it against the real things in your life. All the cliches [about parenthood] are true.”
But then, the couple decided they didn’t want to be together any longer and they started a custody battle. Carey believed she had the right over their son because she put her career on the side in order to be around Homer while he grew up.
Despite his parents being celebrities, Homer never lived under the spotlight. On the contrary, he enjoys a quieter style of life and loves doing what every other kid his age does. He lives in You York and everyone agrees that he inherited his dad’s charm and good looks.
He made several public appearances with his parents during the years but opts to keep his life private and doesn’t want to be exposed to the public eye.
One thing is certain, he does take after his father, don’t you think so?
