Planet Earth is the home of around 8.7 million species, and humans have only managed to identify 1.6 million of them. All of these creatures who inhabit this world are special in their own way. However, some are a bit more exceptional than others, just like the white moose captured on a video in Sweden.

It is believed that this part of the Scandinavian country is a home to around 100 moose of this kind. And although one would assume their pure white color is a result of albinism, the reality is that these unique creatures lack a gene, one known as the Armstrong White Gene Strain.

The video was taken in the Southwest Sweden in the Värmland region by explorer Hans Nilsson who said he had been waiting for such encounter for many years.

The gorgeous animal is seen taking a dip in a pond and then munching on some three leaves.

Speaking to Sweden’s Sveriges Radio, Nilsson described the experience “as great as seeing a leopard in Africa.” Knowing leopards are endangered species and are rarely spotted by humans nowadays, we do understand how special this encounter was for Nilsson, as well as to those who have seen his footage.

Some time ago, Sacramento firefighter Mike Thawley rescued a puppy that was on the verge of death. The poor animal was abused and scared and prayed for someone to hear her cries for help. Mike was on the job at the time he heard the noises the puppy was making, but had to answer a call and just passed by. However, when his shift was over, he couldn’t help but think of the animal that was in need of some help, so he got back.

The pup was a severely neglected Pit Bull whose owners tied her to a tree in the pouring rain.

Mike could tell she suffered from a skin infection as her whole body was covered in mange and open wounds.

This amazing firefighter named the dog “Chunkie” and before he brought her to the Front Street Animal Shelter, he took her home and gave her a nice bath. Mike knew Chunkie was in safe hands, but he somehow couldn’t stop thinking about her.

So, the following day, the first thing Mike did was visit the shelter and see how Chunkie spent her first night at the shelter.

When he saw her, his heart melted. Chunkie wore a cute pink sweeter and was way happier than the previous day. She recognized him the moment she saw him and rushed to say hi.

He knew he did the right thing taking her at this shelter as the staff there is very loving and welcoming. Chunkie could feel she got a second chance at life and won’t stop fighting until she’s completely healthy again.

As for Mike, he is considering offering Chunkie a place to stay, and even adopting her.

We know that if that happens, this pup will be the happiest pup on Earth.

Couple from India become first time parents after welcoming their child in their seventies, making the mother the oldest to give birth

Most couples dream of having a baby. However, the sad thing is that sometimes, this wish doesn’t turn into a reality because of different reasons. When that is the case, some opt for adoption, others accept that they will never be parents, and some, like a woman named Daljinder and her husband, never stop trying.

This couple from India was dubbed the oldest couple to ever welcome a first child. Believe it or not, when Daljinder gave birth to son Arman back in 2016, she was 72 years old.

The new parents said that the arrival of Arman was the best thing that has ever happened to them. And although they don’t know what future will hold for them and their son, they never regretted the decision to have a baby, even at that age.

Daljinder and husband Mohinder, who was 79 when he became a father, have been married for over 50 years.

It was back in 2014 when they turned to the medicine in order to be able to become a mom and a dad. The doctors were hesitant whether the couple could conceive, but after numerous tests, it was determined that Daljinder was completely healthy and that she could carry a baby, so they underwent an IVF treatment. The procedure cost 1 million rupees, or around $10,000.

“We cannot thank God and our doctor enough for blessing us with a baby boy,” the happy mother said. She even breastfed her son and said how many media were interested to pick up their story so they felt like their bundle of joy was sort of a celebrity.

And while the parents are overjoyed and thank God for their new life roles, people say they are selfish. “This is just sad because most likely the child will be young when his parents pass away,” one person wrote. “They seem nice, but this is incredibly selfish on their part. They should have ADOPTED 47 yrs ago,” another person added. However, there are also those who say that Daljinder and Mohinder’s story gives hopes to other couples who struggle to become parents themselves.

You can take a look at their story in the video below and don’t forget to share it with your friends.

We always speak of cats and dogs as of the perfect pets one can ever have because they are always willing to play and run around, but the truth is that every animal, including birds, can be awesome companions.

The sweet Cockatoo from the video below proves this to be right. Same as the four-legged pals who always wait for their owners to get back home, Cockatoo Onni is eagerly waiting to see his dad and is looking straight out of the window until he gets.

The moment dad’s car gets parked at the driveway, Onni gets so thrilled that he can’t wait to greet him and give him a kiss. Believe it or not, Onni rushes towards the stairs and screams in exhilaration.

Seeing baby Onni jumping in excitement has to be the best thing you’ll see all day.

Check the cute video below and tell us if you too own a pet that loves you this much.

Officer tells woman to pop trunk because brake light is out, doesn’t realize she’s recording him

When you’re stopped by the police, it doesn’t usually tend to be a great experience, if you have done something wrong or not, but most of the time its at least a little nerve-racking, your thinking ‘did I do something wrong at all?’ Chy-Niece was traveling to her job interview, then something happened to her and it made her feel dreadful. She saw the blue lights of the police and it wasn’t long before she realized they wanted her to pull up! Her stress levels being that high were not good before her interview… She was not driving too fast and she had used her signals correctly, so really, what could be wrong? After she grabbed her license and registration she rolled down her window, what then happened is really spreading like fire through a forest, for all the best reasons right through the internet. But the officer is not aggressive at all, Officer Jenkins explained that one of her brake lights was out, and this was stressful, she really didn’t need a fine and repair costs! The officer instead of writing out a fine, he did something that she really couldn’t believe… She wrote this on Facebook about what happened:

“So this happened just now. I’m on my way to go to my interview this morning when I get pulled. Both brake lights decided to go out this time. As he walked to the car and I was pulling out my stuff, he quickly said…”

“Don’t worry about pulling anything out. I just want you to know your brake lights are out”

“So I’m immediately upset because I just got them replaced last month. So I explained to him how Firestone wants to charge me $600 just to run a test on the wiring of the car.”

“He looked at me (like he knew this was crazy) and told me to pop the trunk…”

“He checked the lights in the trunk and tapped them, but they didn’t come on. So he told me to pop the hood to check the relay box then asked me to get out to check the other one.”

“He could have easily given me a ticket, but Officer Jenkins stepped out of officer role and into mechanic role to make sure I was straight.”

So with all the awful things happening in the world, it’s awesome to actually have a happy story to write about, with a happy ending. To go that little extra and show a bit of humanity, and interpret the rule-book the kindest way possible with a huge handful of leeway, it really makes a difference to life! A great big, thank you, Officer Jenkins, is well deserved, instead of ruining Chy-Niece’s day, he took the time to help her big style! When she published the story on Facebook, it got 420k likes straight away, and nearly 100k shares too!! This is without a doubt proof that we all love to read about acts of kindness and humanity between us all. Please SHARE this lovely and heartwarming story with your friends and family!

When Kylie Larson from Minnesota was born, she experienced severe oxygen loss and that affected her health a great deal. The girl suffered from chronic respiratory issues her whole life and was wheelchair and oxygen machine bound. That meant Kylie, 13, was in need of round-the-clock care mostly provided to her by her mother Elise C. Nelson, nurses, and family members.

Despite her condition, everyone described the girl as sweet and happy. Her smile brought happiness to many and she enjoyed doing a lot of things, like being around her family, visiting places and going for boat rides, according to the obituary shared by Daniel Funeral Homes.

The life of Kylie ended in a horrific manner. Her oxygen supply was allegedly turned off by her own mother while the father was gone fishing and the two were alone in the house.

It was later determined that at the time the mother called 911 and said her daughter wasn’t breathing, the girl was already dead for around six hours. When paramedics and police arrived, Elise claimed she gave Kylie CPR but there was no response. The incident was later investigated further and it was discovered how the mother was tempering with the oxygen levels. When this happens, an alarm goes off, and it was determined how the alarm was switched off twice. After that, Elise turned off the machine completely.

“Kylie was blessed with amazing nurses who loved her so deeply and she became part of their hearts. Her fellow schoolmates looked forward to pushing her around in the halls and laughing with her. You saw her sweet soul and smile in her eyes. The simplest things in life would make her laugh. Kylie made all our lives better when she was around,” her obituary read.

Elsie was charged with second-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. If found guilty she could be spending up to 40 years in prison.

Rest in peace Kilye, you were loved by many.

Incredible makeover takes years off woman

As we get older, there comes a time when we realize we’ve been wearing the same old hairstyle and those clothes bough years ago for way too long. And then out of the blue, something clicks in and we feel the urge to experience certain change. Whether it’s a new hair color, or getting rid of the old skirts, we know we have to fight the dullness that has somehow become part of our everyday.

Debbie, a woman in her late fifties, found herself in a situation like this and decided to do something about it. She needed to transform the way she looked, and hoped that it would also affect the way she feels. The answer? A drastic makeover! 

If you ever had one, then you know what we are talking about. A haircut? New pair of boots you never dared wearing before? No matter what you opt for, undergoing a makeover is always welcome. 

As for Debbie, you’ll never guess she is the same person. 

YouTube

Of course, the person behind the magic is the prominent ‘Makeover Guy’ who has given “a new life” to a great number of individuals who weren’t satisfied with the way they looked. Christopher Hopkins, the man behind the miraculous transformations is a multi talented author, media personality, and a makeover artist who never ceases to stun us with what he does.  

This fabulous man makes people’s dreams come true together with his crew of fashion advisers and hairstylists who are among the best in the country. The makeovers are done in the city of Minneapolis where people from every corner of the country come to experience and witness the end product of the process of “improvement.”

YouTube

Debbie admits she is fond of undergoing drastic changes, but putting her trust about her looks in the hands of someone else is what she had doubts about. However, when it comes to the Makeover Guy things are a bit different. She trusts him so much that she would dye her hair green if he said so. Luckily, he had other plans for lovely Debbie. 

The most amazing thing about her transformation is that Chris achieves to harmonize her appearance with her vibrant and bubbly personality that definitely didn’t fit her grey and black hair and dark toned clothes. 

He chose for Debbie’s hair strawberry blonde with highlights and swept away 10 years off her face.

Debbie is extremely satisfied with the way she looks after she has undergone the makeover and says she is eager to see her family’s reaction.

It’s a pity that we don’t get to see their jaws dropping when this beautiful lady appears in front of them.

The best part of all is that she now seems way happier and way more satisfied with herself. 

Someone commented how they are “lost for words,” and we are too. This is definitely a must watch. 

Surgeon obliges little boys solemn request before surgery

Ever since he was diagnosed with a brain cyst and a condition called hydrocephalus, now eight-year-old Jackson McKie didn’t have it easy. He spent most of his childhood in and out of the hospital. His parents have always been by his side, and he would often find comfort in his plush teddy bear.

However, there has been another person Jackson could rely on and that’s Dr. Daniel McNeely, a neurosurgeon who cared for and treated the boy all along.

What this kind-hearted surgeon did during the last operation Jackson undergone is beyond adorable.

Before the operation, Jackson asked the doctor if he could do something for him. He wanted the surgeon to operate on his teddy bear as well. Dr. McNeely didn’t hesitate a bit because he was aware that would mean a lot to the boy and it will encourage him to endure the whole thing knowing his plush friend is next to him during the procedure.
Twitter/P. Daniel McNeely
Dr. McNeely later told CTV News Atlantic: “I thought if there was something I could do to help make him feel better, it seemed like a simple gesture and I was only too happy to oblige.”

The nurses prepared the table for the teddy bear they called ‘Little Baby’ and the surgeon started stitching the toy. Thankfully, both procedures were successful.

Rick McKie, Jackson’s father, said what the doctor did for their son was simply amazing. Not only Dr. McNeely is one of the best surgeons, but he’s one kind-hearted and compassionate man. “He’s one of the nicest human beings I’ve ever met.” Now Jackson and his friend, the bear, both had stitches and they could go through the recovery process together as well. The doctor shared the story of the surgery on his Twitter account and it stole the hearts of millions of people. “Patient asks if I can also fix teddy bear just before being put off to sleep … how could I say no?”
Twitter/P. Daniel McNeely
The doctor couldn’t imagine that his post will reach to so many people who praised his action and named him one of the most sympathetic surgeons. “I thought it might make a few people smile, that was the only intention I had. I’m glad that others are enjoying it.” We hope there are more people like Dr. McNeely who would do anything for the sake of their patients’ well-being.
