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.
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.

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.
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.”

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.
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.

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.
Police are looking for a suspect who committed a horrific crime on Thursday, October 1, after he attempted robbery at a 7-Eleven in Waldorf, Maryland, and shot dead the clerk, 49-year-old Lynn Marie Maher.
According to costumers who were inside the store at the time of the incident and witnessed the whole thing, the killer was a black man around 5-foot-7 and 5-foot-10 tall and wore surgical mask, jeans, dark tennis shoes, and a hooded sweatshirt. He was said to had fled the place on foot and it is still unknown whether he used a car or not.
At the time Lynn was shot, she was reported to be compliant with the suspect, according to Charles County Police spokeswoman Diane Richardson.
A 7-Eleven clerk in Waldorf was shot and killed early Thursday after she had been compliant with a robbery suspect at her business.
Lynn was a mother of four. Her brother-in-law, Chris Maher, said how she and his brother were high school sweethearts who went separate ways but reconnected years after and were married for ten years.
According to him, Lynn loved her job at the store and even knew most of the customers by name. She was a kind-hearted person who had a black belt in Taekwondo and spent her free time teaching unprivileged children this martial art.
The victim’s children are between 17 and 25 years old. Maher said how one of her kids is a Marine based in California and is currently trying to make arrangements to get back home for his mother’s funeral.

Following the deadly shooting, 7-Eleven provided a statement, writing, “Our hearts are with the victim’s family. We are working with the local Franchisee to gather information and provide local law enforcement with any information helpful to their investigation. The store is currently closed while police complete their investigation.“
The police is asking from the public to help track the killer down and call the station in case they have any information that could lead to his arrest.
They can call Det. J. Feldman at (301) 609-6474 or contact Charles County Crime Solvers at 1-866-411-TIPS.
“This is a very quiet area,” Richardson said. “It’s unusual that something like this happens. We think that the community obviously will be outraged, and again if anybody knows anything, we’re hoping that they’ll call.”
Charles County Crime Solvers is offering a reward of up to $2,500 and 7-Eleven is offering a reward up to $10,000 leading to the arrest of the suspect.
Our veterans should be the most respected citizens and we should never miss a chance to thank them for their service and their sacrifice. That is why stories like that of Raymond Duncan, a veteran who turned 100 years old a few days ago, brings smile on my face and makes me extremely happy.
The birthday of Staff Sgt. Duncan from Oklahoma was celebrated by the whole community and a great number of people who gathered to wish him all the best.
Koco News
Duncan was a member of the 487th Bomb Group and led the largest Eighth Air Force mission of the war on December 24, 1944, which involved more than 2,000 bombers on airfields and communication sites in western Germany.
Speaking to the ABC News station Koko, Duncan spoke of that mission and said a day doesn’t pass by without him thinking of that day when his life and that of the fellow soldiers was spared after a bomb went off over their base a second too late.
“I was in World War II. My airplane led the largest air raid during World War II over Germany, Dec. 24, 1944,” the veteran said. “And I’ve been honored by three presidents for that service.”
Facebook
“When I came back and worked at Tinker Air Force Base for 27 years, I hear one of those engines fire and chills ran through me.”
Sadly, 235 group members didn’t make it back home and gave their life for the country. Their deed should never be forgotten. Duncan said how the soldiers didn’t really try to make friends while deployed because they never knew “who was coming back and who wasn’t.”
Duncan received many awards for his bravery, among which a Presidential Unit Citation and Good Conduct Ribbon.
Thank you Mr. Duncan for everything you’ve done for America. We wish you a very happy birthday and many more to come.
Of all the friends a human can ever have, dogs definitely are the most precious. These animals aren’t just friendly and loyal, but very intelligent too. They will always stay by your side and be your best companion during your best and worst days.
Well, the only time they won’t listen is when you are eating and not sharing your food with them. Those who own dogs are pretty well aware that eating around them without offering a bite or two is practically impossible, because even if you don’t do that, they will come and get what’s “theirs.”
The man from the video below is trying to enjoy his sandwich, but his Great Dane is sitting right in front of him and looking straight into his eyes. Once she realizes she isn’t getting any of the snack, she starts barking, and according to many, the sound resembles a lion’s roaring.
And as if having one gentle giant observing the man’s every chew isn’t enough, the two other dogs want their portion as well. The best thing is, they are only getting a bite after they say I love you.
The video has been seen over 7 million times. Check it out below and see the reason why!
