Oh, those dogs! Do you ever take a minute to thank God for putting these creatures into our lives? The truth is that no matter how many human friends one has, the love and the loyalty dogs provide can’t be beaten. They are the most caring creatures there are and when they say that they love their humans more than they love themselves, believe that’s true.

One little girl and her Golden Retriever are the perfect example why every child needs to grow up around a dog.

The video of these two pals is melting the hearts of millions of people, all for the right reason. One thing is certain, her parents don’t need to worry about their little girl’s safety as long as her furry pal is by her side.

The video shows the Golden boy putting his paw on the girl while she’s looking out of the balcony as though he’s trying to protect her from falling.

He also helps her dress in the morning by taking the socks and the clothes out of the closet. Once she’s done, he serves as a cushion when she jumps out of the bed.

Believe it or not, when this young lady goes to the bathroom to wash her teeth, her dog is there to pull the stool closer so that she can reach the toothpaste and the brush.

Every now and then, he looks straight into the camera as though he wants his human parents to tell him that he’s doing a great job.

As a thank you for taking such a good care for her, the girl shares her lunch with her pet and never forgets to treat him with kisses and hugs.

And when she goes to sleep at night, he places his paw on her forehead just to make sure she’s sound asleep. Next, he grabs a blanket and covers her with it.

Who wouldn’t want a dog like this in their life?

Firefighters lend a helping hand when noticing mom filling her kids’ pool with a pot

When we stumble upon stories about kindness and compassion, we feel like there is still a chance for this world to become a better place. Stepping in for one another is what humanity is all about and as soon as we become aware of that, life would become much easier for many of us.

One Charlotte, North Carolina mom was organizing a birthday party for her son. The weather was absolutely wonderful that day so she decided to surprise the kids by placing a kiddie pool in the yard. Everyone got excited and couldn’t wait to get inside the pool. The only problem was that the mom didn’t have a hose and filling the pool with water would take much more time than she anticipated.

The mom was using pots in order to carry the water from her kitchen to the pool while the children who were gathered around were getting impatient more and more.

Luckily, a group of firefighters were driving by the mom’s home at the time and noticed she was struggling, so without having a second thought, they decided to help her.

They grabbed the hose and filled the kiddie pool with water in no time. Needless to say, the kids were overly excited because that meant their pool party could finally start.

The mom was watching in disbelief. She was very thankful to the firefighters who made sure her son had the best party ever.

Charlotte Fire Station 18 took to Facebook to share the beautiful story.

“Firehouse 18 is a neighborhood firehouse full of men and woman who truly care about the families they swore to protect. Today, after leaving a medical call, Engine 18 stumbled across a family desperately trying to fill up a kiddy pool by filling pots from the sink for a little boys birthday on this sweltering day.

“What was just a simple task for us turned into laughter, smiles, and a lifelong memory for the neighborhood kids as well as the men on Engine 18? Proud to serve the WESTSIDE!”

They could simply pass by and continue doing what they were doing, but instead, they decided to make this family’s day one to remember.

Needless to say, people who saw the post couldn’t help but share their thoughts, with one person writing, “This is awesome, brought tears to my eyes. Those kids will remember what you did. Thank you from PA. Stay safe.”

What a beautiful story of kindness and humanity at its best.

Bus driver fired after his Facebook post about hungry child who’s denied school lunch goes viral

The story of Johnny Cook from Georgia will make you think what you are willing to risk for the sake of preserving your integrity. This man lost his job only because he stayed true to his moral values and principles. He now works as a horse trainer, but he recalls the time when he was driving the school bus for Haralson County Middle School making sure all his passengers get safely to and from school. 

One day, back in 2013, a student boarded the bus complaining how he was starving. When Johnny asked him why he didn’t eat anything he told him how the school refused to serve him lunch because he lacked 40 cents. The bus driver couldn’t believe what he was hearing. Leaving a boy that young hungry all day was something he couldn’t get over so he took to social media to share his frustration. 

He posted the story and shared it with his family and friends. He also issued a plea to those in charge of the school to change the lunch plan. 

“Huh! What! This child is already on reduced lunch and we can’t let him eat. Are you kidding me? I’m certain there was leftover food thrown away today. But kids were turned away because they didn’t have .40 on there account .” the post reads.

Many people who agreed with Johnny shared his post because they wanted the message to be spread. 

But, it turned out that the school superintendent wasn’t happy with what Johnny did and offered him an ultimatum. He had to either apologize for the story and say it was all a lie or get fired from the job. 

This bus driver chose the latter and never considered saying sorry for telling the truth and stepping in for a child that wasn’t treated the way he should have. 

“I felt like, in my heart of hearts, the kid was telling me the truth. Whether he was, whether he wasn’t, I believed him, so I wasn’t going to recant the story.”

Counter claim

The school and the superintendent argue that the incident never took place. They claim how the security cameras prove the boy wasn’t even in the lunch line that day. They also state that even if he didn’t have money, the school would have offered him a bagged lunch. 

Take a look at the video below to hear both sides of the argument. 

Susan Boyle says doctors warned her over Type 2 diabetes health risks in the time of the pandemic

The pandemic, which is sadly still ongoing and affecting millions in one way or another, has changed the way we live and communicate with our family and friends. Being forced to avoid contact and being prevented to hug and kiss those people we spent our days with just around two years ago feels devastating to many.

We have been left “trapped” inside our homes as a “new normal” has been imposed.

Now if you think that those who are rich and famous have it easier than the rest of us, you might be wrong. Take Susan Boyle for example. Just recently, this incredible singer turned 60 years old, but she couldn’t spend her birthday the way she wanted.

Boyle was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes some years ago and that forced her to change her life style. The Britain’s Got Talent star started eating healthier and manged to lose weight, thus change her looks completely.

With the pandemic, Boyle, as most of us, is concerned for her safety and health, especially because of her diabetes condition. It has been reported by many scientists and researchers, as well as by the American Diabetes Association, that people diagnosed with diabetes are likely to experience worse complications if they get the virus.

The singer said how she was advised by her doctors to only get out in order to catch some fresh air and avoid contacts with other people as much as possible.

“I have diabetes so I have tried to stay indoors as much as possible. Catching Covid would not have been a good outcome,” she said. “I was warned, so I’ve not taken any chances.”

Speaking to The Scottish Sun, Boyle said that the pandemic has affected her mental state, which I believe is true for each and every one of us, but added that she understands that it is all for the greater good of the country and the people.

“We’ve not been asked to battle on the frontlines of a war like our parents or grandparents — we’ve been asked to stay at home for the safety of ourselves and everyone else,” she explained.

“That’s the wee pep talk I give myself if I’m feeling a little low.

“It’s an abnormal situation for everyone. I’ve done my best to stay in but I do go for walks for exercise with my mask on,” the singer added.

We can only hope and pray for this pandemic to be over as soon as possible, and of course, do our share by respecting the rules and the measures which help fight the virus.

Contractors figure out woman’s 10-year-long mysterious illness when every doctor fails

It’s not unusual for doctors to fail to diagnose certain illnesses. However, after plenty of check ups and tests, they manage to detect what is wrong with their patients. Sadly, one mother from Indiana named Kathi Wilson spent 10 long years going from one doctor to another, but no one could tell her what was wrong as her health was getting worse and worse with each passing day.

X-rays, all sorts of screenings, MRIs, you name it, Kathi went through all of that. Her doctor, Mary Beth Hensley, simply couldn’t pinpoint what made Kathi sick. She was experiencing fatigues, muscle aches, and much more. During the last few years, she had troubles walking and was forced to use a cane.

The mysterious illness Kathi was suffering from was finally detected by a group of construction workers. They didn’t need any stethoscopes or any medical equipment to solve this poor woman’s problem. What they used instead were their wrenches.

Namely, these contractors were hired to remodel Kathi’s bathroom. As they started working, they noticed that the furnace and the water heater were improperly hooked up which led to small amounts of carbon monoxide to leak. This colorless and odorless gas known as the “silent killer” was poisoning Kathi.

She was lucky she hired these workers whom she now considers her heroes.

After they did their job, Kathi started feeling better right away. She regained her energy and strength and is no longer using her cane.

Speaking to Inside Edition, she said, “I felt great. Mentally, I haven’t been this happy in I couldn’t tell you how long.”

The video of Kathi’s story has been seen by thousands of people. One viewer wrote, “That is terrible when no one knows what’s wrong with you. Going to doctor after doctor with no relief. I am happy she is doing much better and has her life back.”

You can take a look at the entire story below. Make sure you check your cars, furnaces, heaters, generators, and the like which produce carbon monoxide.

Kathi is happy to be alive.

Doctors amazed after mom gives birth to a 13lb baby

Chrissy and Larry Corbitt were about to become parents for the fifth time and they received the news with excitement. They were beyond happy for the new addition to the family and prepared everything for the big arrival. However, there was something they found quite strange, and that was Chrissy’s belly that seemed quite big. Actually, it was way bigger compared to her previous pregnancies.

YouTube

The couple was a bit concerned at first, assuming something might be wrong with the baby, and then though they could be expecting twins. However, after the check up at the doctor’s, none of it turned to be the reason. They were told there was only one baby and it was perfectly healthy, just a bit bigger than they expected.

But when the time for the delivery came, Chrissy gave birth via C-section, because what was supposed to be a big baby, was in fact huge. The mother recalls how her first thought after seeing the baby was that it resembled a toddler, not a newborn. She even joked, saying Inside Edition “When they held her around the curtain for me I just couldn’t believe how big she was. I felt like I was looking at a toddler, I was like oh my God, she’s gonna walk to the nursery.”

YouTube

They named the beautiful girl Carleigh and she was a miracle baby. The hospital’s staff said how they have never in their career or life seen such a huge baby. While it was still in her mother’s stomach, the doctors believed it weighted around 10 pounds, but they couldn’t be more wrong. When the nurses weighted the baby, 13 pounds five ounces popped up on the scale’s screen.

Carleigh didn’t fit the baby diapers nor all those clothes her parents bought for her. Instead, they had another shopping trip and bought clothing for a nine-month-old child.

We congratulate the Corbitt’s for their baby daughter and we are so happy she is a healthy baby with a great life ahead.

Rescuers fail to save 200 horses stranded on small land – then 7 women come up with an unexpected plan

This story is about quite an unusual rescue mission which took place back in 2006 when a herd of 200 horses got stuck on a small land covered with mud. The poor creatures found themselves in this desperate situation after a storm caused the water levels to rise. It looked like the odds of saving the horses were very low because they weren’t only trapped but also scared.

Source: YouTube/ Armelle Alfreedom

The story quickly went viral and media from all around the world covered it, with millions of people waiting in anticipation for a positive outcome. The horses spent three long days unable to free themselves. The rescue groups, among which firefighters and welfare workers, failed to save them either. As a result, 19 of them didn’t make it. And although rescuers were able to provide the creatures with food and water, they couldn’t make them move.

Every plan authorities came up with failed. But then, they thought of a brilliant idea. This was the last chance of getting the animals out of that muddy land. And thankfully, it worked just perfectly.

A group of seven female riders and their horses rode into the shallow waters, hoping for the rest of the horses to start following them. If you wonder why would they do it, it’s because it’s in horses nature to move into herds, so seeing some of them getting through the mud and water would hopefully make them do it too.

Take a look at how this awesome plan worked and how the horses made it on the other side of the water safe and sound.

This rescue doesn’t cease to amaze us even after so many years. It’s surely worth watching. Check it out below.

Woman is shamed on flight because of her weight – a fellow passenger steps in for her

Savannah Phillips is a young woman who is well aware that people can be judgmental. This time, however, she experienced that first hand. Namely, she was on the plane traveling from Oklahoma City to Chicago and happened to be sitting next to a man in his sixties who introduced himself as a comedian.

He seemed nice at first and allowed Savannah to take the seat by the window. But moments later, the “gentleman” showed his true face and made this woman cry.

He took his phone out and started texting. What he wrote crushed Savannah. She shared the story of her nightmare flight and wrote, “The flight attendant started the safety speech and he got his phone out (with huge font and the screen brightness turned all the way up). His phone was maybe 12 inches from my face and he proceeded to text someone that he was sitting next to ‘a smelly fatty.’”

She felt both hurt and ashamed and didn’t have the courage to read the whole text.

“I don’t even know what the rest of his text said because I turned my head away as fast as I could. I was shocked and it was like confirmation of the negative things I think about myself on a daily basis. Before I knew it, I could feel hot, salty tears coming down my face. I sat and cried silently, hoping this guy didn’t try to make small talk, because I didn’t trust how I would react and I didn’t want to get kicked off the plane. I was so hurt.”

But just when she felt like her faith in humanity was lost, a fellow passenger stepped in for her and restored it.

Chase Irwin from Nashville was sitting across the aisle and happened to read the text the rude man was sending. He also noticed how sad it made Savannah. So, he took a short video of the man and posted it online writing, “This guy just text his wife that he is sitting next to a smelly fatty and is going to vomit. I watched her read his text and is now looking sad.”

However, that wasn’t all he did. Chase wouldn’t let anyone treat another person in that manner so he tapped the man sitting next to Savannah on the shoulder and said, “We are switching seats. Now.”

Inside Edition YouTube Screenshot

The man pretended he didn’t know why Chase demanded that, but then Chase let him know:“You are texting about her, and I’m not putting up with that.”

He then sat next to Savannah and offered words of comfort. Speaking of what he did for her, she said, “He encouraged me not to let that guy get to me and that everything was going to be fine. We talked about Ross and the kids, his two year old son, our jobs, amongst other things,” and added, “I told him thank you for what he did and that it meant the world to me- and that he would be my husband’s new favorite person. The flight attendant kept trying to give him free drinks and told him that he was her hero. He wasn’t her hero – he was mine.”

Once the story spread on the social media, many praised Chase for what he did. He was dubbed a hero who reminded us that we should always step in for one another.

You can take a look at the video of Savannah’s and Chase’s interviews below. This is truly inspiring!
