It’s been said that “a dog is the only creature on Earth that loves you more than they love themselves” and we can’t agree more. The moment we welcome them in our home they become our most loved and most loyal family members. Those who one one know that a house is not a home without a pet.
Bird Born, an artist from Russia, depicts what it means to adopt the best furry companion through a series of photos that will warm your heart. Each ripped pillow is worth the devotion these loving creatures are ready to give.
Bored Daddysays “thank you” to all the caring people who adopted a shelter animal and provided them with another chance for a happy life.
Get ready for the best “sweet revenge” story ever. Mike is the guy who will teach bad guys a lesson they will never forget. This is both vicious and hilarious and it will make you burst out laughing. You really need to be a real pro to come up with something like this.
As you know, thieves are all around us, and when they spot a package left at people’s front porch, many won’t hesitate to approach and steal it. Well, this is what happened to Mike, who by the way helped in building the Mars rover, and yes, that’s how smart he is, so many times that he could no longer put up with the naughty thieves. He spent six months plotting the ultimate payback, which to everyone’s pleasure, was caught on tape.
The video has been seen more than 25 million times, and everyone agrees how this engineer’s plan is indeed ingenious. Mark explains that he didn’t take the law into his own hands before contacting the local police department. But, the answer he got from the officers was that they couldn’t act against the package thieves based on the videos from his security camera alone.
This witty engineer wouldn’t let the bad boys go unpunished. But in Mark’s world, the ideal punishment involved lots of glitter and some fart smelling spray.
Although being covered in glitter could be what young kids enjoy, we are certain the thieves won’t be as excited with the idea of being covered with all those sparkles from head to toe.
The fake Amazon package Mark built consisted of four cameras that would capture every angle, as well as a GPS that would track its location. Inside the package there was a bomb made out of glitter and the fart spray that will provide the thief with ultimate smelling ‘pleasure.’ At the end of the day, these people don’t really deserve anything less than being humiliated for their behavior.
Once the package was all ready, Mark placed it on the front porch, and it didn’t take long for someone to spot it and take it.
The clever engineer could now just wait for the person to open it and discover the glittery and smelly surprise. This is definitely a must watch that will make you day.
The moral of the story is: Never steal other people’s packages, because at the end, you’ll get what you deserve!
Hearing of stories of random strangers helping those in need is something that deeply touches our hearts and make us believe that humanity isn’t dead after all. Whenever we stumble upon such stories we somehow feel like we should take the time and also lend a helping hand to someone who’s experiencing tough times. Whether it is paying for someone’s food, giving a homeless person some money, or simply giving a lift to your neighbor whose car broke down, doing good never gets out of style and that’s what makes the world go round.
The latest story that restores our faith in humanity comes from a woman who witnessed an amazing act of kindness between a young girl and an old man who was short on money. The touching scene took place at Walgreen.
The old man was at the check-out of the pharmacy and the woman who shares his story could overhear the conversation between the two.
The elderly was trying to get three months worth of medication which cost $170. Unfortunately, that was more money than what the man had in his pockets. Not being able to afford the three months supply, he opted for a month worth of medication instead.
Another young lady who happened to witness the whole thing couldn’t let the old man leave the place without his much needed medication so she decided to pay for it.
The woman who shares the story was deeply touched by the young girl’s kindness. That was something that mustn’t go unnoticed.
“OKAY, I just saw the most amazing thing today. I was waiting for my prescription at Walgreen, and I noticed this man is picking up his medicines.. He is asking how much they are, and starting to get nervous about the price. The total was $170 and the pharmacist asked if he would rather only get one month of his medicines instead of 3.
THIS lady next to me, walks up to them and says: NO, he is getting all three months and pays for his bill. I was walking out of there with tears in my eyes, what an amazing woman…”
This lovely story went viral in the blink of an eye, and all for the right reasons. To inspire others to follow this girl’s example and become someone’s angels.
Another person that goes by the name Joaniemansoosie shared their story on Reddit, saying:
“I had a similar situation. I had groceries and miscalculated. I had 60.00 on me and they rang up to 90. So, I had to put things back( which is always embarrassing, especially when someone’s waiting on you.) The lady behind me saw my embarrassment and said ‘Go ahead and put your things back, I’d like to pay for them.’ I said, ‘Oh, no, that’s okay, but thank you!’
So I paid for what I had and left. She follows me out to the parking lot with the items I had put back in a sack. She wants me to have them. I cry and hug her and thank her. When I get home, there’s a 100.00 bill in the sack. The amount of joy I received from this act of kindness made my day, my week, my year. I hope I can one day do this for someone.”
There isn’t something more fulfilling than the hug, or just an honest “thank you” from the person we helped. We never know what battles people are fighting, and what problems or obstacles they are facing, that’s why it’s very important to show kindness to everyone, whenever we can. We can never know the impact our good deed can have on someone’s life and how many people our behavior will inspire. Because no matter how big or small, every act of kindness goes a long way.

The father and mother to 4 children, Donald and Crystal Howard, had gone to a local store in order to pick up some facepaint for their children’s 4 Halloween costumes. Their children, 13-year-old Justin, 10-year-old Amiah, 8-year-old Daimean, and 6-year old Trayvion, eagerly waited for their parents while all dressed up in their costumes. However, it was not meant to be as Donald and Crystal were killed in a tragic car accident, which unfortunately ocurred less than a mile away from their own house.
Trooper Nathan Bradley had been assigned the heart-wrenching task of checking in on the 4 children and informing them of their parents’ deaths. Their grandmother was informed, but she lived in another state and therefore would require at least 7 hours in order to be by their side. Bradley could not bear to tell the 4 children the awful news and did not want to phone the Department of Family and Child Services up either. “Not only would these children discover they lost both parents, but would spend their Halloween in a county jail until somebody could tend to them – it just wasn’t right,” he said.
Instead, Bradley decided to give the kids a day’s worth of blissful innocence before he delivers the terrible news. Instead of informing them that their parents had passed away and placing them into state custody, Bradley took them out for a ride in his car. He drove the kids to a nearby McDonald’s and a Burger King outlet for fries and milkshakes. He also bought them some candy and ice cream before giving them a tour of the police station where the 4 children stayed to watch movies and read some magazines. For one more night, they celebrated Halloween just like any other child would. Bradley also recalled how difficult the night was for him due to the bad news he would have to break. He told the tragic news to them the very next day.
The four siblings moved to Florida to live with their grandmother. Even though they had left the state, Bradley still wanted to do whatever he could to help them in the difficult months ahead. To help them, he had even set up a GoFundMe campaign which has successfully raised over $500,000 since its inception! Despite the tragedy, the 4 children still regard Bradley as their hero and are greatly touched for the kindness he had shown them – and so are we.
When walking at a restaurant, we all want to get the best table and enjoy our meal sitting on comfy chairs. Well, when we are not getting this, we may feel a bit disappointed by the place, especially if we see an empty, soft booth next to our not so nice table. This is what a family from Texas stumbled upon when they chose to dine at the Texas Roadhouse restaurant in Dallas.
However, when the family got closer look at the empty booth, they learned it was reserved for a group of VIP’s. They had no idea who they might be, but assumed the group had to be special because they’d get the best table that was nicely decorated and really stood out than the rest.
The national American Flag and Texas state flags were adorning the wall in the background, and an elegant white tablecloth was placed over the table. The family, as well as the rest of the customers, were eager to meet the five people, whom they assumed were someone really important.
At one moment, they noticed the sign and knew exactly who the VIP guests were.
It was really touching and sad when the family realized the special guests will never enter the place anytime soon. In fact, they will never again be able to celebrate their friendship or have a gathering over the specialties of the house.
The table had been reserved for five slain police officers who were ambushed by multiple snipers on Dallas. The booth was a way for the restaurant to say thank you to the brave souls.
It was something that mustn’t go unnoticed. The family decided to take a photo and share it on the social media. All those people who got to see the unselfish act were thankful to the restaurant for what they did.
Many of the customers couldn’t hold their tears back after they read the sign placed on that special table which said:
“We remember and honor the five slain police officers, Sergeant Michael J. Smith, Officer Michael Krol, Officer Patrick Zamarripa, Senior Corporal Lorne Ahrens, and Mr. Brent Thompson, who worked for the Dallas Area Rapid Transit Police Department, that the Texas Roadhouse restaurant reserved a table for. We thank you for your service. May you rest in peace.”
We are beyond grateful for the men in blue who sacrificed their lives for the citizens of Dallas, as well as glad that the Texas Roadhouse took the time to honor these heroes doing an amazing deed. We should all take the time and say “thank you” for the heroes who lost their life, and to those men and women in uniform that put theirs on the line every day.
Although we are all excited for the upcoming holiday season, there are people out there who are the real face of the Christmas fun and joy. One of them is the cutest little girl who stole the show during the school performance. Her talent is undeniable, a real artist and an entertainer in the making. Oh, we are so glad to have the chance to see her stunning moves that made our day.
When Kelly Cardillo and her family went to see the school’s Christmas show, she had no idea her daughter would stand out and be the queen of the limelight.
It’s really great that she managed to capture the performance on camera, because this isn’t something we get to see that often.
The little girl is overly excited to be taking part in the singing and dancing routine. She brings the Christmas spirit and the holiday euphoria closely to us.
Once the family returned home, Kelly rushed to post her daughter’s exceptional dance style on her Facebook page.
“This is my Daughter at her school Christmas concert. She brought the house down. See if you can guess which one she is!”
However, little did she know that the video will be seen by so many people. 19.5 millions to be exact. That’s a mind blowing number. Everyone agrees how sweet she is.
People across the globe are admiring this girl with the most vibrant personality with many asking whether she will take part in this year’s show. One woman says: “So, mom, when is her Broadway debut? I haven’t smiled this much in a very long time! She is truly magnificent!” To be honest, we couldn’t agree more.
Take a peek at this hilarious Christmas choir dance routine in the video below!
It’s simply unbelievable how cruel people can be at times. When we hear of some of the despicable acts they do, we understand how this world slowly becomes an evil place. Luckily, there is always someone who’ll come along and remind us that humanity is not dead.
The following story broke our hearts in a million pieces. The sad faith of a young boy who nearly died of neglect is just a reminder that we should always pay close attention to those around us, because many times people look normal, but hide awful secrets.
Jordan, a five year old boy from Spring, Texas, had the life no one ever deserves to have. He was hours from death when he was found in his home back in 2014. The most devastating thing is that he wasn’t ill, nor suffered an accident, but was severely neglected by those who were supposed to love him unconditionally.
Jordan was a child from his father’s other relationship and lived with him, his step-mother, and seven step-siblings. While the rest of the kids were treated just fine, Jordan was the one who was constantly beaten, starved, and forced to live in a tiny “Harry Potter” room under the stairs. Brad Bleimeyer and his wife Tammi were parents from hell.
The cupboard where Jordan would spend most of the time wasn’t only small, but there were bare wires and nails sticking out and it was very much unsafe for anyone to be staying there, let alone a boy that young.
Luckily, there was someone in the house who knew how wrong it was for Jordan to be treated that way. 16-year-old Cody, one of the boys, was desperately trying to find a way and save his sibling from the torture he was going through, but somehow, his voice wasn’t heard.
“The police had been to our house multiple times,” said Cody, according to The Sun. “All the police officers told me there was nothing they could do about it.”
“The teachers were unsure what to do — nobody could help me at that point.”
“I remember police officers were actually at our front door and I asked them to come in and see what was happening and they said they couldn’t because I was underage and I didn’t own the house. They were literally at our door and I was asking for help and they couldn’t do anything.”
But despite the lack of help, Cody (who’s now studying criminal justice) kept pushing. He and his sister, Allison, challenged their parents but received verbal and physical punishment and threats for trying to help Jordan.
One day in March 2014, Cody had had enough. He broke into Jordan’s prison cell and was shocked at what he found.
“The day I opened up that closet, Jordan was in the worst shape I had ever seen him in,” he recalled. “I had been in a huge fight with Brad so I was already in trouble and both adults were outside of the house so I just saw an opportunity and I opened up the closet to let Jordan out.”
“But what I found was truly shocking — he was in his diaper, he didn’t have any clothes on. His face was all caved in, bruises all over, marks on him. His mouth was foaming. I have never in my life seen anything as bad as that.”
“I kind of paused for a second and then I just freaked out. If we hadn’t got him out that day I don’t think he would have survived.”
“I picked Jordan up and gave him to my sister Allison so she could care for him and comfort him and I went outside and just called my mom and Brad out on it. They both flipped out that I had opened the closet door — they said I had no business going in there, that it wasn’t anything to do with me.”
“At that point things escalated between me and Brad and we started shoving each other and I was just trying to draw as much attention as I could. I knew at this point there was no turning back. My mom had confiscated my phone but I had a prepaid phone so I called the police but in the meantime my mom was packing all the kids up and getting everyone out.”
“I remember him falling and I picked him up and him just being in my arms was terrible,” Allison, who had been 14 at the time, added. “It was like I wasn’t holding anything — he was so light — it wasn’t like holding a kid at all.”
“He was so, so white and his cheeks were sunken and he smelled terrible — it was just awful. I hadn’t seen him for about a week before this and he was scared, he didn’t know what was happening.”
Finally, this December, the justice had been served and Tammi was sentenced to 28 years in jail. During the court hearing, her children, Cody and Allison testified against her.
Brad Bleimeyer was sentenced to 15, according to the Independent. The rest of the kids were put in foster care. It’s sad how what their parents did affected their life. This is something none of them will ever forget.
Jordan, his biological mother, and the rest of us can never thank Cody and Allison enough for risking their own safety in the struggle to get their little brother off the awfully painful ordeal.
Lovely Jordan got his happy ending. He is now living with his mom and is a very happy and healthy young boy with a great life ahead.
Christmas is that special time of the year everyone wants to spend with the family and friends. Knowing this, now 63-year-old John Dorroh couldn’t help but wonder why his beloved mother would decide to run her errands on this day instead of staying at the house with him and the family. He recalls how she would always find an excuse to leave the place for some time on Christmas day.
Now, years after his mother Sue passed away, John discovered her well-kept secret. One day he found a note in the mailbox. The sender was signed as Robert. It was all kind of strange because John didn’t know any person that went by that name. It appeared he was his mother’s former coworker who was about to reveal the truth about Sue’s real personality. Robert was writing how he and Sue were more than work pals, and all those excuses she came up with all those years were just a way for her to sneak and spend the day with another family.

Sue loved the holiday season and was always waiting for it in anticipation. She did all her shopping in advance, and everything was ready even before Thanksgiving. Because of this, John and his family would never question her absence. After all, she was always back after a couple of hours as she promised.
John’s heart melted as he proceeded reading the letter. His mother was a real angel. Neither he, nor his dad would ever imagine how she was making sure for Robert’s family to get the Christmas they so much wanted, but unfortunately, couldn’t afford.

This woman had a heart of gold. Robert’s letter to John read:
“Dear Johnny, I just wanted you to know how much my family and I appreciate what your mother has done for us for all of these years. Every year on Christmas Eve day your mom comes to my house dress like Mrs. Claus and gives my kids a Christmas that we can’t afford to give them. She has given them shoes, shirts, jeans, toys, and candy.”
She would bring joy in the home of Robert for every Christmas, till the rest of her life and that was the most amazing thing.
“I know your heart is heavy and that you are missing Miss Sue. We do, too. We loved her and just wanted you to know what she has done for us. Love, Robert and Nellie and the kids.”
John is very proud of his mother, but still, feels a bit sad for not learning this truth while she was still alive.

Robert’s note was the ultimate Christmas present John could ever receive. No money, or other material things can ever compare to the pleasure and joy these words brought in this son’s heart and life.
John is aware that his mother didn’t want her good deed to be known to anyone, but he somehow feels like he has to share her story. He hopes others will follow this compassionate woman’s example, because being there for others is what makes this world go round. The proud son wrote a short story about his “Mom’s Secret Mission,” which has now been published in “Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Joy of Christmas.”
