Justin Hanley from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania left his home that day not knowing he was about to stumble upon the saddest sight he’d ever seen. A sweet pup was tied to the railing with some pizza slices placed by its side. What was even more unusual was the note left under the doormat.

The note read: “Please take me home. I’m a girl named Diamond. We can no longer keep her in our home. Thank you.”

No matter how much Justin wanted to keep the beauty, he couldn’t really take a pet in so he decided to share this unusual story with a group called East Falls Rants by posting it on their Facebook page.

Justin was more than happy to keep the dog until someone willing to provide her with a forever home would come along. Shortly after she entered Justin’s life, the dog which was later named Serenity was taken in by the Don’t Bully Us Rescue in southern New Jersey. They knew exactly where this dog should be placed. In the home of a retired Army special forces officer Chris King.

Serenity was extremely happy to be fostered by an animal lover like Chris. You won’t believe how many animals he and his girlfriend are taking care of. They have nine other dogs and seven pygmy goats. Chris also has four siblings but says it’s never crowded and there is always space for another animal in need of a loving home.

She was later given for adoption and placed in another family, but it turned out she missed Chris so much that she couldn’t get used to living with someone else. Once he realized the pup wasn’t happy with her new human parents, Chris took her back in and doesn’t plan on letting her go ever again.

95-year-old WWII veteran receives high school diploma during a special graduation ceremony

“If you really want something, the whole universe conspires in helping you to achieve it,” Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist. A great thought from a great author that all of us should go back to whenever we feel things aren’t going the way we have imagined them.

Many times in life we feel like we are too old for the things that make us happy and we somehow convince ourselves that out time has passed and we shouldn’t even bother for the dreams that left unfulfilled. Thankfully, stories like that of 95-year-old World War II veteran Corporal Lewie Shaw remind us that nothing is impossible.

This incredible man had a rough childhood. When he was just 12 years old, he lost his parents and was forced to quit school at the age of 17 in order to work and be able to provide for himself. Before he became part of the Marine Corps back in 1943, Shaw worked as a janitor and a school bus driver.

During the war, Shaw served in Tinian, Iwo Jima in Japan, and Spain as part of the 4th Marine Division. Speaking of the life back home after the war was over, Shaw says it was pretty dull. However, during the last year’s Veteran Day ceremony, he received the surprise of a life time.

Knowing just how much he regretted not getting a high school diploma, the Claremore public school in Oklahoma decided to grant him that wish and awarded him with one during a special graduation ceremony.

Shaw couldn’t believe what happened and was overjoyed. “It’s surreal,” he said, as tears of joy rolled down his face. He even offered a valuable piece of advice to all the students, saying, “My advice to them is keep on clawing, keep on digging. Get that education.”

Take a look at the video of the graduation ceremony below.

Louisiana police are in search of one of the three brothers who sexually assaulted a 10-year-old girl in her home.

Two of the rapists, Raul and Wilmer Paz-Perez, both 35, are arrested and held without bond at the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center in Gretna. 31-year-old Elder Paz Perez, who has a second rape allegation in an unrelated case, is at large.

The incident took place in September 9, 2020, after the three brothers were left with the girl. It was reported they were friends of the family, and according to reports, Elder was romantically involved with the girl’s mother.

Allegedly, the three men first offered the girl money in order to have sex with her, and after she refused and got scared and locked herself in the bathroom, one of the brothers broke inside and they all raped the girl.

The incident was reported to the police a couple of days after it took place when the girl told a relative about what happened.

Lt. Michael Cunningham is asking from the public to come forward with any information that will lead to Elder’s arrest. Those who have and are willing to share information on the whereabouts of Elder Paz Perez should contact the Kenner Police at (504) 712-2222 or Crimestoppers at (504) 822-1111 or toll-free 1.877.903.7867

One thing I love about America is that the war veterans and the members of the military there are always treated with deep respect and considered heroes. Americans are well aware that it is because of these people that they enjoy freedom each and every day.

Lawrence Brooks is one of 300,000 living veterans who served during the World War II. Believe it or not, this hero was born on September 12, 1909, and turned 111 this year.

What’s most, he celebrated his birthday in a unique way and received around 9,700 cards from people from all over the country who congratulated him on his birthday and his heroism.

Brooks, who served in New Guinea and the Philippines as part of a unit mainly made up of African Americans has been celebrating his birthday at the National World War II Museum in New Orleans each year.

This time, however, it was a bit different. Because of the coronavirus pandemic and the social distancing, this hero watched the museum’s vocal trio, The Victory Belles, singing “Happy Birthday” to him from his porch. He also received an aerobatics show and a full military flyover.

The museum took to Instagram and wrote, “While we weren’t able to have our usual birthday party at the Museum this year, we were able to host a socially distanced celebration that he could view safely from his porch. In addition to flyovers, a cake, and a personal performance from the Victory Belles, we were able to deliver the nearly 10,000 birthday cards sent in from around the world. Thank you to everyone who sent a card or birthday wishes for helping us make this day special in a new way!“

The president of the museum, Stephen Watson, said, “The museum’s mission is to tell important stories of the men and women who served in World War Two. We are honored to celebrate Lawrence Brooks, whose life and service are filled with such stories of bravery and determination.”

After the war was over, Brooks worked as a forklift operator. He has five children, 13 grandchildren, and 22 great-grandchildren. We wish him a very happy birthday and many more to come.

10-year-old girl raped and made pregnant by her stepfather was given baby shower by the local church

News about children who suffer from the hands of those who are supposed to carry for them is something that we hear a lot. Sadly, it seems to me that this world is going crazier with each passing day and we can’t really do anything to stop that, no matter how hard we try.

A story of a 10-year-old girl from Monte Caseros, Argentina, shook the entire world after it was discovered that her stepfather, Horacio Insaurralde, raped and impregnated her.

The mother had no idea what her little girl was going through while the two were living under the same roof with the monster stepfather. And she didn’t realize her daughter was pregnant until the girl’s grandmother noticed how her belly was getting bigger and bigger every day. At the time of the discovery, the mother and Horacio were no longer together as things didn’t work out between them.

Learning of the girl’s pregnancy left the mother and the family in disbelief. It was obvious the girl couldn’t continue with the pregnancy because she was way too young to give birth and she was raped, so the mother considered the Legal Interruption of Pregnancy (ILE) which is a measure taken to legally have an abortion if the pregnancy is harmful to the health of the person, or, is a product of rape.

However, after consulting a doctor, the mother was told that “it was riskier to stop the pregnancy than to continue it” knowing the girl was already 24 weeks into pregnancy, according to Ester Dotro, the leader of a Collective Feminist group.

Dotro said how the doctor was a religious person and persuaded the mother to keep the girl’s baby because of “personal ideological and religious opinions.” Dotro also added that despite that, she still respected the doctor’s “medical and social work because they have done a lot.”

Eventually, the mother decided what was best for her daughter’s health, and that was continuing with the pregnancy.

The local church the mother and the girl attended organized a baby shower. Pastor Mari of the Ministerial Apostolic and Prophetic Church of Monte Caseros said they did that in order to help the family and didn’t want to comment on the decision about keeping the baby saying, “I am neutral. That is a family decision,” according to Mirror. “We have not given any advice to the family,” the pastor went on to say. “I accept that it is a mother and a very young girl. However, the baby that is coming is a life and the young girl has to be attended psychologically.”

The pastor added how they all hope Horacio will be brought to justice and will pay the consequences.

So far, what we know of the case is that the wrongdoer is still in custody and “a trial is pending a date from the Paso de los Libres Oral Penal Tribunal,” as per Prosecutor Oscar Fabian Soto. The Family and Civil jurisdiction of Monte Caseros has opened a separate case against 31-year-old Horacio.

As for the sweet little girl whose life has changed forever, she gave birth to a baby boy via Cesarean section at the Neonatal Eloisa Torrense de Vidal Hospital. We truly hope she will be able to have a normal life after everything she went through.

Police officer gets a call about lost and confused non-verbal autistic boy – helps him find his way home

Police officers may be dubbed bad my some based on the recent events, but the truth is that most members of the police are always willing to go above and beyond for people in need of help.

It wasn’t any different this time when an officer from Stockton, California, got a call about a boy that seemed to be lost and unable to find his way home. Upon arrival, the officer realized that the boy was autistic and non-verbal, but he somehow managed to persuade him to give him his bus pass so that he could at least learn his name.

Once he gained his trust, the officer asked from the boy to write down any information that could help him track his parents or members of his family down.

The story was shared by the Stockton Police Department (SPD) along with a photo of the officer and the boy. They wanted to restore people’s trust in what they truly do for the community and wrote, “Through this form of communication, the officer was able to locate a family member and the child was safely reunited with a relative, #ItsWhatWeDo.”

Many were glad everything turned great and the officer’s approach helped locate the family. Some of the comments were, “Great training! My son with Autism ran away from school last year. He was found a mile away by a paramedic and SPD. They did an amazing job getting him to communicate and helped him feel safe. Thank you so much for all you do!”

We would like to thank the officer for doing such a great job.

Mean woman kick snow onto cat’s face but karma strikes back

The way we treat animals speaks a lot about us as human beings. However, based on the fact that the number of stray cats and dogs is alarmingly huge, we have to agree that we failed at taking care of all those animals who are homeless and are left to fend for themselves.

And as though living on the street isn’t hard already, many of those animals suffer from mean humans who kick them and chase them away.

Just look at this cruel woman in the video below. The weather is cold and there is snow everywhere and one cat is staying outside. The woman keeps kicking snow onto the feline’s face as the poor cat feels helpless. But then, the animal knows it’s about time for her to stand for herself and does something incredible.

YouTube

The woman is on the ground after the cat defends herself and jumps onto the woman’s face. Honestly, we are glad this mean person got what she deserved. Maybe next time she won’t hurt another animal.

Animal lovers who have seen the video are happy with the outcome. One person wrote “Gotta admire the agility of the cat!! Look at that controlled landing!” Others added, “What a bad ass little kitty!” and “The best thing the cat could do for that idiot lady!”

We say karma at its best, don’t you agree?

Take a look at the video below and tell us what you think.

This has to be the best thing you’ll see all day. Cute babies dancing to the rhythm in perfect sync that make us wonder how is it possible for someone that young to be a better dancer than we’ll ever be.

Twins Reese and Levi got their new Jolly Jumpers and their parents assumed the little ones will have fun using them, but what they didn’t know was that their cute “choreography” will bring so much joy to everyone who saw them dancing to Johnny Cash’s Folsom Prison Blues.

Both babies, who are just 9 months old, are all smiles and love these new jumpers a lot. They are so energetic that it looks like they won’t be getting out off them any time soon.

Many of Johnny Cash’s fans are glad his music continues to live on and that even the youngest generations enjoy his everlasting hits.

Take a look at the video that has been seen over 3.5 million times below and don’t forget to share it with your friends; they’ll love it, too.
