Dog Who Was Lost For Years Gets To See His Owner Again

Most stray dogs have struggles fending for themselves on the streets as they depend on the kind people who are willing to share with them their scraps. 

When the volunteers from a Ukrainian shelter came along a confused and unhealthy blue-eyed dog, they took him in and were willing to do their best to nurture him to complete recovery.

The dog had mange and it was obvious his life on the streets was harsh. So, they really wanted to find him a nice home, not assuming he already had one. 

The first thing the shelter staff did was post the dog’s photo on the social media, hoping it would help find potential adopters. 

Little did they know the photo would go viral in a matter of days and would help reveal the true story behind the pup with the saddest eyes they’ve ever seen. 

Not only people from Ukraine, but from all over the world shared the photo. 

Only two days later, a woman called in the shelter saying the dog resembled the one that got stolen from her backyard two years ago. 

“She’d been looking for her dog for two years,” Galina Lekunova, who works at the shelter, told The Dodo. It left everyone wondering whether the dog that stole everyone’s heart belonged to this woman. 

They asked her to come at the shelter and see how the dog would react. What they witnessed was something extraordinary. A touching reunion unfolded in front of their eyes. 

“Tears of joy in the morning!” the shelter wrote of that moment. 

They learned the dog’s name was Lord and everyone was beyond happy he got to be with his owners again. 

But if it wasn’t for all those people who shared the photo on the social media, none of this would happen. 

“We thank everyone who shared our post,” the shelter wrote. “Thanks to you that the dog’s life was saved, and peace returned to his owner’s soul!”

Most parents would do anything for the well-being of their children. Many work more than one job and take extra shifts just to make sure their little ones have the perfect childhood. 

It happens, however, that moms and dads question their parenting every once in a while, but then their kids do some things that remind them they are on the right path and just need to keep going.

This is what happened to a mom of two daughters, who got home from the long and tiring night shift. The sight she encountered upon arriving home left her speechless and just melted her heart. 

This mom that goes by the user “Mish0451” on Reddit, shared the note her sweet 16-year-old daughter left for her along with a chocolate bar and a bottle of water. 

She wrote, “My 16 YO left this by my bed after I worked a long evening shift. Melted my heart <3”

The note read:

I know you had a long night & [you’re] gonna be tired so I brought you in your ‘midnight snack’ because I know I prolly won’t be awake when you get home…I love you! Enjoy & sleep well

Lots of users took their time to comment how she deserved all this because she’s apparently a great parent and does things right. 

The mom then wrote how she was “lucky” to be having such loving daughters. “I am fortunate enough to have two really sweet daughters that are like [her] best friends.” 

It’s obvious that all the struggles this woman had to go through throughout the years paid off. She’s lucky she made right choices and got to raise her daughters the right way. They will definitely turn into amazing and caring individuals. 

11-year-old violinist once bullied for having cancer is taking our breath away with musical talent

People face different obstacles and fight many battles during their life, but those related to diseases such as cancer are probably the hardest. 11-year-old Tyler Butler is a cancer survivor who is ready to conquer the world. His first step towards his goal is already accomplished and that’s taking the stage of America’s Got Talent and make the judges’ jaws drop. 

This kid’s talent is just amazing. He does with his violin things even great musicians can only dream of. 

Although Tyler’s story has a happy ending, he confesses how things were pretty hard for him. Instead of showing compassion, most of his classmates would mock him for his illness and would laugh at his face for being bald. 

They even spread the word how his cancer was contagious so others would avoid talking to him or even getting near him. 

This all changed one day when he learned the school was offering free violin lessons. No one in the family was musical, but Tyler wanted to give it a go and his mom was more than happy for him to be keeping himself busy and forget about the cancer even for a short time. 

Shortly after, Tyler got so great with the instrument that instead of refering to him as the boy with cancer, everyone recognized him as “the kid with the violin.”

This time he got to show his incredible skills in front of the panel of judges and the audience. His performance mesmerized everyone. It was powerful, emotional, and energetic all at once. Playing “What Doesn’t Kill Me Makes Me Stronger” he nailed it and got standing ovations. 

His devotion and the hours of practice paid off as Tyler got the Golden Buzzer from Simon. 

Tyler you are such an inspiration. We wish you only success in the future. 

7-Year-Old Boy Who Was in a Sinking Boat and Spent 6 Hours in Freezing Ocean Wakes From Coma

7-year-old Julian Hohnen was taking a fishing trip with his dad Maike Hohnen and family friend Stephen Jeacocke off the coast of Queensland when their boat started sinking. They were around 8 miles from the coast and couldn’t possibly get to the land. Before the boat sank completely, they were able to send a distress signal but were forced to spend more than 6 hours in the freezing water. At the moment the accident took place, they were all asleep and didn’t have time to get to their safety equipment. “They had the safety gear on board but unfortunately, sort of in the time that they realized the boat was taking on water to it actually sinking, was only a matter of less than a minute,” Kyle Banks with the Sunshine Coast water police told 7News. The two men did everything in their power to keep the young boy afloat, hoping someone would come to their rescue before it was too late. The rescue team found them the next morning and the three were immediately rushed to hospital. They were diagnosed with hypothermia and sweet Julian had to be placed in an induced coma. “It’s always a delicate operation when you’re winching a patient that’s potentially suffering from hypothermia,” Kristy MacAlister of the Queensland Ambulance Service told News.com.au. “As you winch them out of the water, the wind temperature can also decrease the body temperature further.” Thankfully, his family never lost hope and on Monday, the boy opened his shiny eyes. “It’s very fortunate that the three people were found when they were,” MacAlister said. “They had been in the water for several hours, and they’re all very lucky.” Julian’s parents informed the public through a statement about the condition of their son, saying it was “downgraded from critical to stable.” They somehow knew their boy would pull through because he has a fighting spirit and is one vibrant kid. “I’m the luckiest man alive, I’ve got a beautiful son, who puts a smile on my face everyday!” Maike Hohnen wrote on Facebook.

Dad and 1-year-old son have the most hilarious conversation ever

Little babies might be demanding, but they are also the funniest creatures to be around. Their efforts to speak and tell everyone what they’ve learned are many times hilarious as they are trying really hard to pronounce the words the right way. Many parents have difficulties understanding their little ones, but not the guy from the video below. 

He really is one hell of a father as he pretends to understand the cute sounds his one-year-old baby makes. They both look as if they are discussing some serious business and honestly, we just can’t stop watching and listening to them. 

When mom Shanieke noticed the hilarious conversation between her two favorite boys, she knew she had to put it on tape. 

Daddy Deztin “DJ” Pryor and baby Kingston are at the sofa, watching TV and discussing. They have so much fun together. Deztin really knows how to make his baby enjoy his company. Well, we guess making people laugh is in his nature as he’s a stand up comedian who took part in the 2019 CBS Diversity Sketch Comedy Showcase. He got into top 21 competitors at the show, selected from the 3,000 who auditioned. 

We know that if he decides to take baby Kingston on stage and re-do this awesome clip, he will end up winning the competition. 

Needless to say, baby Kingston is the real star of the video. He is an awesome ‘performer’ himself, just like his father. 

Although we don’t really understand any of the words he says, he makes communicating easy using gestures and his tiny hands. 

This is definitely a must watch. It’s bound to make you laugh! 

Dog taken out of shelter just an hour before he was set to be put down

When dogs find themselves at shelters it is totally understandable for them to feel scared and confused. Many of them were leading harsh life on the streets, while the rest were someone’s pets and had something to consider home. But now, they are surrounded by people they’ve never met before and a bunch of other dogs they share their fate with. 

Edie was one of those dogs that ended up at a shelter. Because she was terrified and puzzled, no one really wanted to adopt her, so she was eventually set up to be put down. Luckily for her, just an hour before her euthanasia was about to take place someone came along and saved her. 

With the help of Hope for Paws, Edie found a new owner and turned into a vibrant and a loving dog. 

The moment Edie realized all those people that surrounded her were there to give her a second chance for a better life, she felt relieved. 

Shelters are scary places for these sweet souls, that’s why potential adopters should never overlook terrified dogs not willing to wag their tail. They are just too confused to be able to do anything. 

We hope many other canines would end up in loving families just like Edie did.

Music is what unites us. It has the power to comfort us during our darkest of times but also make us cry when the melody and the lyrics deeply touch our hearts. 

Dane Miller, a boy with Down syndrome, found music to be the greatest passion in his life. According to his parents, it all started after they watched a documentary on Whitney Houston and Dane simply fell in love with her music and songs. 

It was back in 2017 when Dane was just 9 years old when his singing talent got the attention of the nation. While he was in the car, Houston’s hit “I have nothing” went on and sweet Dane started singing along. The clip of his performance was uploaded on YouTube and it spread like a wildfire in a matter of days. 

Both Dane and his parents were surprised and glad at the same time, as there were only positive reactions from people from all over the country. 

His voice is pure and enchanting and he doesn’t miss a single beat. There is so much emotion in the lyrics and the melody of Dane’s rendition that it touched millions of hearts. 

“Just reading the comments, they’re so sweet. I’m getting emotional,” Danna, Dane’s mom, told CBS.

Dane’s family says that the clip of their boy singing has inspired other parents of children with Down syndrome to share with the world what their kids can do and show their talents. 

“Some other families who have Down Syndrome children have posted pictures with their kids,” added Danna.

Dog refuses to leave flooded home

Back in 2013, Eastern Russia was hit by a devastating flood. Thousands of families had to be evacuated from their homes at safe places. Among them were the Andreevs. 

When they left the house, their loyal dog named Druzhok, a 4-year-old Caucasian Shepherd mix, followed them. 

The family was temporarily placed with some relatives, but Druzhok whose name translates to ‘Little Friend’ escaped the new place just three days after. 

Worried for his safety, they went to look for him, praying he was somewhere safe. That’s when they spotted the loyal canine standing with half of his body underwater in front of their house. He felt he should go back and guard his family’s home. 

Rescuers told them how they tried getting him out of there but he refused to move. It was only when he spotted familiar faces that he started swimming towards them. 

“It’s deep here. He couldn’t run, he had to swim. The dog stood on the top step of the porch in the cold water all night,” Druzhok’s mom Elana told the Siberian Times. “We sailed into the yard and saw him. He was standing there and trembling, and wouldn’t move away from his place. But when he saw us he was so happy. We took him into the boat and he rushed to lick us. We all were so happy.”

He was later placed in another, safer home, from where he couldn’t escape. His loyalty impressed everyone who got to hear his story. 

We hope the family, along with their sweet canine, got to return to their home.
