Dog seen outside of store with a sign around his neck

The sad reality is that a huge number of dogs are being abandoned by irresponsible owners who simply decide they don’t want a pet in their life any longer. Most of these animals end up on the streets, while some find themselves at shelters. One such place was where a man named Steve Moore found his best friend, a three-year-old Golden Retriever named Jackson.

Whenever Moore needed to go somewhere, he would take sweet Jackson with him. However, as most shops won’t allow pets inside, and Moore didn’t want leaving Jackson alone inside the car, he trained him to wait for him while ignoring any distractions such as loud noises or passersby who feel the urge to get closer and pet him. The training involved a lot of trips and treats as the dog perfected his impulse-control skills.

These days, while Moore is running errands, he leaves Jackson outside with a cute sign around his neck which says: “Dad told me to wait here. Me waiting.”

These sweet dog is very patient and never leaves the place where Moore tells him to wait at. He just stands there until he spots his favorite human getting out of the store.

A number of people who see Jackson in front of Target with the sign around his neck assume he’s looking for a home or some food, but when they get closer and realize that he’s one happy and loved dog, they just smile and pet him on the head.

Moore says that he’s surprised at the number of people who would love Jackson to be their dog while just shortly ago he was a sad dog at a shelter that nobody wanted to give a second chance and a loving home.

5-year-old boy fails to show up at his friend’s birthday party – his parents get an unexpected ‘No Show Up Fee’ invoice

Five-year-old Alex Nash was invited to a friend’s birthday party at a dry ski slope in Plymouth, Devon, just before Christmas. His parents confirmed Alex’s attendance and the boy was looking forward to it, but on the day of the party they realized that Alex was double-booked and due to spend some time with his grandparents, which is exactly what the boy did.

Some days later, Alex’s parents, Derek Nash and Tanya Walsh, found a brown envelope inside their son’s backpack. When they opened it, they were left in complete shock. It was an invoice which required from them to pay a £15.95 no-show fee to Julie Lawrence, the mother of the child whose birthday party Alex missed.

“It was an invoice for a ‘child no-show’ fee for the party… and it was a proper invoice with full official details, even her bank details, and e-mail address, and name,” Nash told BBC News.

According to Alex’s mom, they didn’t call Lawrence to tell her that they changed their mind about the party because they couldn’t get in touch with her as they couldn’t find the invite. What’s most, Tanya even said how they weren’t sure if they had one.

Party guests enjoyed “three toboggan runs, a snow tube ride, and a hot birthday meal with ice cream or jelly during the Christmas holidays.” As Alex didn’t show up after his parents confirmed his attendance, Lawrence believed they were supposed to pay for the cost she made.

Nash said they weren’t happy about the invoice. He even told school officials about it and confronted Lawrence, saying she wouldn’t receive a penny from him. Lawrence on the other hand threatened to take Nash and Tanya to the small claims court because they refused to pay. She said they were supposed to inform her about Alex not coming to her son’s party beforehand as they had her contact details written on the invite.

The boys’ friendship fell victim to conflict. According to Alex’s parents, the two children no longer play together at school.

As young children, we are all blessed with pure hearts and some form of innocence, but as years pass by, these characteristics somehow fade away to some extent. Spending time with youngsters reminds us of those days and that is why most of us enjoy the company of the youngest members of our family, whether it’s our own children, grandchildren, nephews or nieces.

A toddler named Brooklyn is a typical child. Fun, loving, and caring. She makes everyone’s days a bit brighter with her positivity and outgoing personality.

This beauty loves playing with her parents and everyone in the family, but there is one man she is particularly fond of, the garbage man. Every Thursday, Brooklyn stays by the window waiting for the garbage truck to arrive. Her parents say this is the highlight of her week. When she notices her favorite garbage man, Delver, she waits for him to wave her hi.

Her third birthday was celebrated on Thursday, the same day Delver collects the garbage in Brooklyn’s neighborhood.

She was waiting for him to arrive because she prepared a special gift for him, wanting to show him that he was her friend and that he was welcomed to be part of the celebration. She was about to meet him in person and she was looking forward to it.

The moment she spotted him, Brooklyn handed him a cupcake. He was very honored he was invited to the birthday party.

The following Thursday, Delver came with a bunch of gifts for his little friend. He even sent Brooklyn’s mom a video of disposing the garbage as Brooklyn was eager to learn what happens to it once it’s picked up from the neighboring houses.

The beautiful story of the unlike friendship between Brooklyn and Delver found its way to the social media. People were glad the girl never minded he was a garbage collector, she just recognized that he is a good man. This story is just a reminder that racism isn’t something we are born with.

Meghan Markle shares goodbye message to a loved one

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, shared a heartfelt tribute on the website of the animal welfare charity Mayhew, reflecting on the death of her beloved friend, Oli Juste.

Juste passed away on January 15, 2022. He and Meghan shared mutual love for animals and he was the one who introduced her to the work of the Mayhew, the organization she decided to support as a royal patron back in 2019, following her marriage to Prince Harry.

Earlier this year, her contract with the charity came to an end, but she said she would continue supporting the work the people there do for animals in need.

Oli Juste was known as one of the best dog trainers and animal behaviorists in Britain. Many remember him from his appearance on Channel 4’s Puppy School. He was also running a personal podcast, A Dog’s Best Friend, which featured a number of guests who were interested in making this world a better place for our furry pals.

Although it’s been four months since Oli’s passing, many learned of the devastating news just after Markle’s post.

“Every day there was another twist and turn, every week another update—which Oli and I would connect about: ‘What can we do? How can we do more? Look at the amazing work they continue to do,’” Meghan wrote.

“In his memory, we will be creating the Oli Juste wing at Mayhew, to shelter the animals who may have a harder time finding their forever homes.

“Because, much like Oli, they will never be forgotten, and they will always be loved.”

A number of people who knew Oli personally or through TV and social media took to Instagram to share their condolences.

“Oh Oli, I am sorry to hear this, and only just today. You were a most lovely gentle person and so much fun…,” one person wrote. “So shocked to be just reading this. I was literally listening to one of Oli’s podcasts today-with Beverley Knight. I’m quite new to his podcasts but absolutely love them and have recommended them to so many people,” said another.

He and Meghan didn’t only work together but were close friends too.

Rest in peace, Oli.

Shooter’s grandfather claims family had ‘no idea’ he’d two legally bought AR-15s

Grandfather of massive shooter Salvador Ramos, who opened fire at the Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, and took the lives of 19 young students and two teachers, claims that the family was unaware his grandson had two legally bought guns.

Ramos, who was eventually shot dead by law enforcement officers, went on the shooting rampage before shooting his grandmother, Celia Martinez, in the head. He then took her vehicle and headed towards the school.

Ramos turned 18 on May 16 and that same day he allegedly purchased two AR-15s with three hundred rounds of gun ammunition from a store in Uvalde, the Oasis Outback.

The shooter moved in with his grandparents after an argument with his mother, who allegedly cut out the Wi-Fi. According to his grandfather, Rolando Reyes, nothing about his grandson spoke trouble. He said that on the day of his birthday, his wife Celia, who is now recovering at a hospital after being shot, took Ramos to Applebee’s to celebrate his birthday. Reyes further claimed that neither he nor any other member of the family was aware that Ramos purchased the guns.

“I didn’t know he had weapons. If I’d have known, I would have reported it.” Reyes, 74, told ABC NEWS further revealing that his grandson was a quiet young man who sometimes worked with him. “Sometimes I’d take him to work with me. Not all the time, but sometimes.

“This past year he didn’t go to school. He didn’t graduate. You would try to tell him but kids nowadays think they know everything. He was very quiet, he didn’t talk very much.”

When Reyes’ wife was shot, he got a call from a neighbor telling him they heard a gun shot coming from his house. The grandfather rushed home but his grandson was already gone.

An Instagram friend of Ramos’ said that the teenager had sent him a photo showing a receipt for a gun he bought from Daniel Defense, a gun manufacturer, reported The Daily Dot.

Former President Jimmy Carter lives in his $210,000 house in Georgia and shops at the local Dollar General

Modesty is a virtue not many possess. One would say that it is hard to be grounded and modest once you’ve experienced the life of luxury, but that is definitely not true when it comes to the oldest-living former U.S. president Jimmy Carter.

This humble man and his wife of almost 75 years have been living in their family home in Plains, Georgia from the moment they left The White House back in 1981 and handed over the presidency to Ronald Reagan.

Historic American Buildings Survey (Library of Congress)

The house, which is valued according to Zillow at $209,996, was built in 1961, when the Carters welcomed their fourth child in their lives and needed a bigger place. Namely, Jimmy Carter has always dreamed of becoming part of the military, just like his father who served in the U.S. Army Quartermaster Corps during World War I.

Carter gained admission in the Naval Academy in 1943, the same time when he met his future wife Rosalynn. After he joined the Navy, the family moved places often, and it was back in July 1953 when Carter’s father died that they decided to go back to Georgia.

Carter left the Navy in order to take over his father’s business and work as a peanut farmer.

After serving as a president, Carter returned to his roots once again because he didn’t want to “capitalize financially on being in the White House,” according to Washington Post.

He never took any advantage of post-presidential popularity and was reported saying: “I don’t see anything wrong with it; I don’t blame other people for doing it. It just never had been my ambition to be rich.”

The Carters lead a very normal and modest life, and it has always been like that. What’s most, The Rolling Stone revealed back in 2011, that the former president shops at the local Dollar General.

Both he and his wife have been part of the Habitat for Humanity for many years and helped renovate around 4,300 houses in 14 different countries.

Speaking of his home, Carter said: “We feel at home here. And the folks in town, when we need it, they take care of us.”

They will be celebrating their 75th wedding anniversary this year. We wish them health and happiness in the years to come.

Mother dog is depressed after losing her puppies in a fire then they show her a litter of orphans

A very unfortunate event left one dog mother without her litter of seven puppies.

The barn where the dogs stayed and which belonged to Jessica Woodruff caught on fire one night. One of the heat lamps that was supposed to keep the animals warm broke down and the fire spread with great speed and intensity. Daisy, the dog, was desperate to save her babies, and she even tried getting inside the burning barn, but everything happened very quickly and nothing could be done.

Despite the puppies, four goats and a pig were killed.

Over the next few days after the accident, Daisy was completely heartbroken. She avoided her humans and the rest of the animals at the farm. All she did was looking for her puppies. Whenever she would go into the destroyed barn and realize the little ones weren’t there, Daisy would start whining and crying.

Jessica knew she had to do something for her dog, otherwise, she could lose her too.

Luckily, Jessica’s sister came up with an interesting idea. She posted on her Facebook page how they were looking for newborn puppies whose mother left so that they could foster them and pair them with the grieving mother. At the same time, another woman was looking for a mother dog who would help a litter of eight puppies survive after their mom passed away.

The tragedies these two families suffered brought them together in an unexpected manner.

Daisy was soon introduced with the puppies and her maternal instinct kicked in right away.

In the weeks that followed, Daisy was the puppies’ mother. She took awesome care of them and wasn’t sad any longer.

When the little guys were a bit grown, they were reunited with their owner. Well, except for the smallest one who stayed with Daisy and Jessica and was named Benji.

This whole story and the video below are way too cute and touching not to be seen and shared with friends on Facebook!

Imposter cop pulls van over and finds it filled with real police detectives

They say crime doesn’t pay and the following story certainly proves it. Well, the truth is that whenever we come up with a plan, we usually give it some thought. However, not every plan which sounds perfect inside our head can be executed the way we hope.

One day, what seemed to be a brilliant idea popped up in the head of a 25-year-old New Yorker named Valiery Portluck. He decided to put on a police uniform and pull cars over. He then sat in his black car which had emergency lights on it and stood by the road. As he noticed a van approaching, he blared his air horn and hoped the vehicle would pull over.

Well, that’s exactly what happened. But instead of making some money by pretending to be a real cop, Portluck got himself in big trouble. It turned out that the people inside the van were real detectives.

The Nassau County law enforcement officers couldn’t have been happier to see him, though.

In fact, they were looking for him as they received an anonymous call about a man on the side of the road impersonating an officer.

Source: YouTube/HAIL NEWS

The moment he realized he did a mistake and that his scam was revealed, Portluck tried to escape but was caught after a short but an intensive chase.

This not so bright criminal was charged with three violations, first-degree criminal impersonation, second-degree reckless endangerment, and unlawful fleeing from a police officer.

His neighbors told the police that he was suspicious. Couple of days before he was arrested, Portluck was seen installing flashing lights on his car.

His plan backfired on him and he ended up in jail.
