Two year old has the perfect response for cashier who questioned black doll

Little children are the most pure minded humans. They are born to love everyone, but as time passes by, they are taught certain things, among which, sadly, racism. Those parents who don’t let their little ones judge anyone or form an opinion about someone based on their skin color are the ones creating a future of love and a world we all want to be part of.

However, there will always be those people who distinguish between black and white humans, and that is something we should all fight against because we are all equal and we have always been.

Little Sophia, who was two at the time her story went viral, had successfully completed her potty training and her mother told her she could get any toy she wants from Target. Sophia was over the moon and quickly headed to the toy section, picking a doctor doll.

But, as she and her mom, Brandi Benner, headed to the counter, the employee at the register was quick to notice that the doll Sophia had in her arms was black. She assumed they were buying it as a gift, and when Brandi said it was for her daughter, the woman asked why Sophia didn’t choose a doll that resembled her more, alluding to the doll’s skin color.

As smart and as quick-thing as she is, Sophia replied: “She looks just like me. We both are doctors. I’m a pretty girl, and she’s a pretty girl. See her lovely hair?”

Needless to say, Brandi was very proud of her girl. She knew at that moment that she is raising Sophia right.

We really hope the employee realized she was showing racist behavior. As for Sophia, she did a great job teaching that woman a lesson to remember. Check out the whole story in the video below.

Video of a cute baby struggling to stay awake goes viral

Little kids are curious by nature. They are still discovering the world around them and don’t want to miss on anything. That is why many toddlers refuse to go to sleep at a proper time and give their mommies and daddies a hard time.

Well, they are completely right, because you know what they say, you can’t make memories sleeping, and kids seem to know this all too well.

A recent video of one of the most hilarious babies we’ve ever seen, baby Leo, captured the hearts of many. Well, it also brought up some questions about his safety and his parents faced criticism, but still, most of the people who have seen Leo doing his best not to fall asleep when he could barely keep his eyes open agree he’s the cutest ever.

The family is in the car and Leo is so sleepy that his tiny head falls down each time he closes his eyes. But that only lasts for a second because he opens his eyes widely and gives his parents a huge smile, and that goes on and on.

Leo’s brother Rion also has a viral video. According to their mom Lisa Jones, when she opened her YouTube channel back in 2006, she never thought her two boys would become an internet sensation.

This time, some people commented how they were worried for Leo’s safety as it seemed like he wasn’t properly secured in his car seat.

Lisa wrote back explaining: “NB: For anyone concerned about the positioning of the carseat and the untightened straps: Here in UK, car seats are permitted in the front seat as long as there are no airbags fitted or at least deactivated. This was our old car – Hyundai Accent. There were no airbags fitted on the passenger side. Before I started the engine, Leo’s straps were tightened securely and we made our journey in safety.”

Neil Diamond changes lyrics to “Sweet Caroline” to promote steps against the coronavirus

One thing that the coronavirus pandemic, which seems will not come to an end any time soon, taught us is that we should never again take things for granted. Walking to the park with your friends, having coffee at the local coffee shop, or organizing a birthday party and inviting those you love the most. These are all things that we were forced to forget about for more than a whole year now, and we have to admit that things haven’t been easy.

Many lost their jobs and are struggling to make ends meet, and the number of those who died is huge already.

During these tough times for each and every one of us, we realize that the only way to overcome this situation is to stand together in the fight against it, respect the rules, and do our best to protect the most vulnerable among us.

Neil Diamond, one of our favorite musicians of all time, is helping people stay sane the best he can; by offering to us his incredible music. This time, however, he is promoting steps to prevent the spread of the coronavirus by changing the lyrics of his iconic song Sweet Caroline for a musical PSA about the virus.

Needless to say, people love it and praise his creativity. This version has been seen over 2 million times with people saying things like: “His voice has a way of putting my heart at ease. Tender and kind and sounds as beautiful as ever. Many memories with his music.”

Check the video below and share it with your friends if you loved it as much as we did.

Cops step in for an elderly woman with dementia and no food in her fridge

Officer Marquis Hines of the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office in Houston and a fellow police officer got a call about a 92-year-old lady named Tina who had been spotted by the neighbors going up and down the street on the cold. They said how they sometimes let her in to warm herself up, but still, she needed help.

When they answered the call, they noticed how the woman’s place wasn’t very clean and the only thing in the fridge was a bottle of milk, some old lemonade and Cheerios. According to her, her two sons hadn’t visited in a while, and that made Officer Marquis share Ms. Tina’s story on the social media.

Got a welfare check call of a 92 yr old woman, who sometimes walks up and down the road and doesn’t know where she is….

Posted by Marquis Hines on Thursday, 5 March 2020

“Without her knowing, we left and got her some groceries for her home. Big rotisserie chicken, some sandwich items to last a week or 2, some chunky soups, bunch of chips and meat, some waters. Knocked on her door and she was all smiles and in disbelief someone actually cared enough about her to even help.”

Officer Marquis even started a fundraiser to help this elderly lady with her needs and thanks to kindhearted people, the goal of $10,000 was quickly surpassed.

People praised these officers’ action and were quick to judge Ms. Tina’s sons who didn’t take care of their mother whose health was obviously not good.

Source: Facebook – Raising money for Ms. Tina

However, once the story went viral, it turned out Ms. Tina wasn’t really telling the exact truth, of course not on purpose but because of her dementia and because she tends to forget things easily. Her sons contacted officer Marquis and explained how they do visit their mother very often, but she forgets that. She even forgets that she had a meal and eats multiple times a day.

Bruh my tan line is outrageously insane

Posted by Marquis Hines on Saturday, 15 August 2020

He then posted again and apologized to Ms. Tina’s sons for depicting them as bad people before learning the entire truth. “I want to apologize to the sons for making it seems as if they just left her on her own for good. NOT the case. I judged based on what Ms. Tina said who tends to forget very very quickly and the living condition of her home. Her sons are involved in her life like a son should be, but can’t dedicate every minute as they have their own children and jobs also. I respect the family a lot more after speaking with them and knowing that she will forget a meal she just ate a couple minutes ago.”

Little buddy said he on duty tonight if we need help.

Like I said in the beginning, change the world one smile at a time😎

Posted by Marquis Hines on Thursday, 31 October 2019

He even asked people to blame him for the misunderstanding.

“So I want to ask everyone to not be so harsh on them and speak badly of them because it was MY fault for judging without the full story.”

The money raised will still be used to help Ms. Tina and her family, especially for medications and doctor treatments.

Precious moment shared between a sister and her baby brother is caught on camera

The bond between brothers and sisters is a very strong one. They are very likely to fight and get into arguments while growing up, but despite the disagreements, they always know they have someone to rely on in their sibling.

Honestly, as much as brothers care for their sisters, I believe sisters do it twice as much, and that can be seen from the video below. Maybe it is like that because females show their feeling more often and aren’t afraid to admit how much they love someone, which is not always the case with men.

As the mom who shared the video below entered the room, she spotted her daughter playing with her little brother. The little boy is happy his sister is by his side and reaches for a hug. What a precious moment! We are glad it was caught on camera and we are sure these siblings named Gabby and Liam would appreciate this video when they grow older.

Many of the 8.6 million people who have seen this commented how they miss those days when they and their siblings were young.

Royal soldier welcomes brother with Down syndrome at Windsor Castle

Jack and Sam are two brothers who love one another unconditionally. However, after Jack became part of the British Army and later a guard at the Windsor Castle, he and Sam, who has Down syndrome, haven’t had a chance to see each other for almost a year. But it was all about to change when Jack invited Sam to check his workplace. 

YouTube

Sam knows just how important his younger brother’s job is and that he protects the Queen. 

Wikipedia

The moment Sam walks the castle’s ground, two members of the Guard, Lt. Bragger and Sgt. Baggot-Moore greet him. Seeing Sam going all smiles and getting excited puts a smile on their faces as well. At this point, everyone realizes this is going to be a reunion to remember. 

YouTube

As they approach the area where Jack is stationed, the guards explain to Sam that his brother won’t be able to speak to him until his shift is over. 

A sentry will be on duty “at their post” for a two-hour period. Every 10 minutes, he comes to attention, slopes arms and does a march of 15 paces across the area of the post. Each sentry will do this four to five times before halting. He will then shoulder arms and stand at ease. Standing “easy” is not permitted whilst a sentry is at post. Orders for sentry duty read out before each 2 hour ‘tour of duty’, make it clear to each individual that: “you may not eat, sleep, smoke, stand easy, sit or lie down during your tour of duty.”

YouTube

The moment Sam spots his brother wearing a uniform, his excitements grows bigger, but he’s aware that Jack can’t give him a hug at this point, so he stands right next to him looking all proud. Jack maintains his stock-still appearance and is patiently waiting for his duty for the day to be over. 

YouTube

Finally, after taking a tour around this magnificent place built in the 11th century, Sam sees Jack without his uniform and embraces him with arms wide open. This is both sweet and emotional at the same time. 

YouTube

Take a look at the reunion in the video below. Heartwarming, indeed!

7-year-old girl pleads for help in neighbor’s door cam after stumbling upon a wild bobcat

An unlike encounter with a bobcat left a 7-year-old girl from Arizona in complete fear, but she managed to get herself out of the scary situation thanks to her quick-thinking reaction.

It all started when young Taylor was riding her bike around the neighborhood. She usually doesn’t go away from her home, but this time it was a bit different. She got carried away and found herself far from her home. Then, out of the blue, she spotted a bobcat. Needless to say, she got really scared and didn’t know what to do. Riding back home wasn’t really an option because she was already too far. Luckily, she spotted a familiar house, that of her friend Lauren.

Source: YouTube Screenshot – Ring

Taylor ran to the porch, leaving her bike behind and rang the bell. When no one answered, she started knocking and asking whether anyone was home.

Lauren’s mom, Nicole, has a ring doorbell system and can see who’s at the door through her phone which rings when someone’s pressing the doorbell. She answered the phone and heard a shaking voice. Taylor explained how there was a bobcat in the neighborhood and pleaded to enter the place. Nicole told her to stay calm and wait as they were a minute away from home. “Stay right there sweetie, as soon as I get you in my house safe, I will call your mom,” Lauren’s said.

Source: YouTube Screenshot – Ring

Moments later, Lauren parked her car and Taylor felt relieved knowing she was safe. Luckily, this all ended without anyone being hurt.

It seems that bobcats aren’t dangerous to humans, unless they have the rabies virus. But despite that, a girl that young stumbling upon one has to be a blood-curdling experience.

Take a look at the video below. So far, it has been seen over 7 million times.

Viral video shows a man offering his pants to a homeless person

If you have roof over your head and food on your table, you are more fortunate than millions who struggle to make ends meet each and every day and to find a place to spend the night.

The thing is that most countries don’t do a lot for the homeless people who are sadly considered less valuable than those who have a home. But we somehow forget that the reasons why someone lives on the streets are various and many of these people are hardworking and even educated, but life was harsh to them.

A recent Tik Tok video which went viral in a matter of days shows how we should all treat the homeless and the vulnerable, and that’s by offering help.

Source: YouTube Screenshot – Inside Edition

A man named Daniel Richards and his wife Dominique were in for a late-night snack from McDonald’s when they spotted a man not wearing a pants and freezing at the parking lot. It was then that Daniel told Dominique he was going to take his off and give them to the man.

Speaking to the Inside Edition, Dominique said: “My husband just was like: I think I’m gonna go give him my pants. And I was like ‘you’re not gonna give him your pants, stop! We’ll just go home and we’ll go grab something and we’ll come back,’” but Daniel was afraid the man would no longer be there if they did what his wife suggested.

Source: YouTube Screenshot – Inside Edition

In the next moment, Daniel approached the man, whom those around said was always wearing exactly the same clothes, and offered to give him his. “I pointed to my pants and ‘if I were to give you my pants would you take them?’ and he said ‘absolutely I will take those pants.’ And I mean within a split second – I didn’t even hesitate – I just took off my pants,” Daniel told Inside Edition.

Source: YouTube Screenshot – Inside Edition

Thanks to the video Dominique shared, everyone witnessed Daniel’s good deed. It serves as an inspiration and as many praise Daniel, one person wrote, “Everyone [is] saying ‘we need more people like him’ and what we need is ‘to be like him.’”

Thank you Daniel, may God bless you.

Twin sisters start “dancing” when daddy starts playing the guitar

The more the merrier they say, so I guess those expecting twins are the luckiest of us all. Not only because two, or even more bundles of joy are welcomed into the family but because the bond between twins is a bit more special than that of siblings who haven’t shared a womb at the same time.

Twins get to do things together and share precious moments each and every day, just like these two cuties who are 11-months-old.

YouTube

The two tiny sisters are having their lunch at their feeding tables when their dad starts playing the guitar. Who though someone so tiny could be so musical? The girls start dancing in their own way and have huge smiles on their faces. What a lovely father-daughters time.

Take a look at them in the video below. Aren’t they the cutest?

Little girl sings to her Pit Bull – The video is melting hearts

How would a very young kid learn all about responsibility and taking care of someone if they don’t get to grow around a dog? And yes, despite what some people might say, getting a dog is the best thing one can do for their children.

Scarley is a young lady whose best friend is the Pit Bull Lebowski. The two are inseparable and spend each minute of their days together. Scarley loves singing to her furry pal and just recently, one of her performances was caught on tape and uploaded on Instagram. Needless to say, thousands saw the little girl belting the lyrics of the song You’ve Got a Friend in Me to the pooch and they all love it.

YouTube

In fact, this isn’t the first time for this duo to catch the attention of the number of followers they have on the social media. Scarley’s mom shares a lot of cute photos of her daughter and Lebowski and they not only make people’s days, but also help fight the stereotypes surrounding this dog’s breed.

Take a look at Scarley and Lebowski in the video below. Cute beyond words, don’t you agree?

Andrea Bocelli and his daughter Virginia sing the sweetest duet

Andrea Bocelli’s captivating voice made him one of the most famous singers worldwide, and his fame only grows bigger with each passing day. With over 15 albums under his belt, Bocelli never ceases to amaze his fans with something new and refreshing, such as his transition from opera to pop music.

His duet with the Canadian singer Celine Dion from 1998, “The Prayer,” which was recorded for the animated film Quest for Camelot brought them the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song. It was also nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song. Speaking of Bocelli, Dion once said, “If God would have a singing voice, he must sound a lot like Andrea Bocelli.”

For the Bocelli family, it looks like musical talent is rooted in their genes. His son Mateo follows in his father’s footsteps and is pursuing career in music. His duet with his dad, “Fall On Me,” is touching and a huge hit that touched many hearts.

Amos, Bocelli’s eldest was part of the album as well. He played piano on the acoustic versions of “Sono Qui” (I Am Here) and “Ali de Libertà” (Wings of Freedom).

In December of 2019, Bocelli showed the world that his youngest child, 9-year-old daughter Virginia, inherited her father’s talent, too.

They sang “Fall on Me” together and people loved it. The video has more than a million views and many positive comments. “I love to hear him sing but it brings me more joy just to watch the interaction between the two of them. Such unconditional love,” one person wrote.

Bocelli is very dedicated to his family and his children and supports them in their careers. Who knows, maybe Virginia will also take part in one of her dad’s albums in the future.

Bocelli’s wife, Veronica Berti, is part of the video as well. She and Virginia practice some of the vocals together before the girl’s voice blends with that of her dad in a perfect harmony.

One of the most powerful voices on Earth and one in the making surely is the perfect combination. And what a duet would this be if there isn’t some cute dancing?

Ventriloquists Darci Lynne and Terry Fator deliver enchanting version of “The Prayer”

I have always admired ventriloquists. They possess unique talents and give life to dolls and sometimes other objects, and I think that’s awesome.

Some of the most famous names among ventriloquists are that of Darci Lynne Farmer and Terry Fator. What these two entertainers have in common is that they are both winners of different seasons of one of the most famous talent shows there is, America’s Got Talent.

It is amazing that the show gives credit to people who posses skills of different fields and in that way promotes dancers, comedians, as well as ventriloquists.

Now, if you are familiar with Darci and Terry, you probably know Petunia and Winston. This time, the four of them gathered for an incredible rendition of the famous song The Prayer which was initially recorded by two of the greatest names in the music industry, Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli. The song was created for the 1998 animated musical Quest for Camelot and became iconic, thus got recorded by a number of singers and musicians over the years.

However, we have to admit that listening to it performed by Darci and Terry through their dolls Petunia and Winston is another kind of magical experience.

Listen to them sing below.

Woman starts crying because she can’t afford to pay for her groceries – teen cashier steps in and says “I got you”

This 19-year-old cashier’s act is just another proof that you don’t need to be rich in order to help the less fortunate.

When John Lopez Jr. first started working at Walmart, he set a goal to make enough money to pay for his college tuition. He promised to himself that he wouldn’t use that funds for anything else, up until the moment he realized there was someone out there who needed it more than he did.

Namely, one day while on the job, a woman standing in front of his counter started crying as he was ringing her items up. She was short of money and couldn’t afford to pay the bill.

John Lopez Jr. knew he had to step in and do just the right thing.

I just felt in my heart that the Lord told me I had to help her. OK, I got you… I got you.

This young man selflessly took $110 of his pocket and paid for the groceries.

And as no good deed, no matter how big or small, goes unnoticed, what John did caught the attention of another customer. Laci Smith witnessed the scene and shared it on her Facebook page.

Now, John’s story has gone viral and a GoFundMe page has been set up to help raise money for John’s college tuition.

This year I’d like to keep the Christmas spirit alive by giving back to this young man. The comments that I’ve seen about this gentleman is extraordinary. He touches a lot of lives on a daily basis. I’d like to give back to him for constantly giving himself to our community. He is also trying to save money to put himself into college. Let’s come together as a community and pay John’s tuition. He will do big things!

It looks like many people found John’s act of kindness inspiring, so they chose to do a good deed by donating to his Just Giving page. Ultimately, around $31,000 were raised. John could now pay for his school tuition, all because of his kind heart.

We hope others will decide to follow John’s example and help someone in need during this period of the year which is all about giving.

26 years ago, Patrick Swayze and wife Lisa took the dance stage and stole the hearts of millions

Patrick Swayze and his wife Lisa Niemi first met when the two were very young. In fact, Lisa was just 18 at the time and was attending dance lessons in the school where Patrick’s mother was the principal. They didn’t start dating right away, instead it took them years to meet again and become a couple.

Patrick had always been in love with dancing and along with his acting talent, he achieved a huge success in the film industry. Of course, one of his most memorable roles was that in Dirty Dancing.

YouTube

Some years after that movie which stole the hearts of many and remained one of the best in the history of film, Patrick showed his out-of-this-world dancing abilities again, but this time, he took the stage together with his loving wife at the World Music Awards in 1994. Their mesmerizing performance was caught on tape and is still one we go back to again and again.

Patrick and Lisa danced to the famous song from 1982, “All The Man That I Need,” which was initially titled “All The Man I Need,” by Linda Clifford. The music piece was later covered by Whitney Houston in 1991 and reached number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart.

The duo’s dance performance not only stole the hearts of millions, but that of Houston as well. At the end of the video, she could be seen applauding.

Take a look at the beautiful dance routine in the video below.

Woman told she’s “too ugly” for selfies fires back at her haters by taking more

Ever since we were little, our parents have taught us to never judge a book by it’s cover and always treat everyone nicely no matter how they look. But as it turns out, many ‘skipped’ this lesson and turned into bitter adults who give themselves the right to treat others with disrespect.

A woman named Melissa Blake who is a journalist and a writer, knows all too well what it feels like to be called names. Although what she has to say on the subject of disability, relationships, and pop culture has inspired a lot of people, there are still those who leave nasty comments regarding her looks.

Recently, this 38-year-old woman who was born with Freeman-Sheldon syndrome was labeled ‘blob fish’ and ‘a potato with a face.

But, that didn’t make Melissa doubt her strengths. Instead, she decided to speak for herself and fired back at her trolls and haters.

Because of the syndrome, her face has a distinctive look. Her mouth is smaller and she has decreased nose cartilage. She even had to undergo around 25 surgeries during her lifetime and is still using a wheelchair to move around.

Looking at the comments, Melissa decided to write back and what she had to say spread like a wildfire. People say she’s brave and that she’s someone we should all look up to if we are in the position of being bullied.

“People wonder why I’ve struggled so much with self-acceptance when it comes to how I look and our society’s notion of what “beautiful” is. It’s because of comments like these — comments that dismiss me and deem me unworthy,” Melissa explained.

“[…] This is just one more example of the type of ableism that people with disabilities face every day and it’s something I’m constantly trying to change.”

After she was told she was ‘too ugly’ for selfies, she certainly didn’t stop taking them. In fact, she treated her haters with three new photos of her.

“During the last round of trollgate, people said that I should be banned from posting photos of myself because I’m too ugly. So I’d just like to commemorate the occasion with these 3 selfies…”

Since her post has gone viral, Melissa’s tweet got more than 272,000 likes on Twitter. As a result, more people heard of her and her work. That brought her new followers and now more people will get to read her wise words.

Melissa is a true inspiration. She teaches us how we should always be proud of the way we look no matter what other people say.

Uplifting tweets that prove women solidarity is a real thing

What makes humanity going and evolving is the way we care for one another. Being there for those in need and keeping each others’ backs should be a trait shared by each and every one of us. Yet, there is this belief that men stand for men more often than it happens between women.

Female friendships can be very strong, but the thing is that many say there is more jealousy and envy present between these types of relations compared to male-to-male friendships.

Luckily, that’s not always the case, and the uplifting tweets below prove exactly that. Women do stand for one another when needed and it should always be like that. Sister power!

10-year-old boy is supper thrilled for his neighbors’ new dog

Dogs are the best, and everyone who has ever owned one can tell you that. Well, the coronavirus restrictions and the lock-down made many people realize that a dog is exactly what they need in order to help themselves cope with the pandemic and staying home most of the time. For that reason, the demand for sweet canines from shelters grew and many four-legged creatures found their forever homes during one of the toughest years for the humanity.

Among those who adopted a furry pal is a couple from Chicago, Illinois. They welcomed a cute Golden Retriever whom they named Arthur.

When the pup was getting to his new home, he was spotted by one of the neighbors, a boy named Troy who fell in love with Arthur right away. And just a couple of days later, the family received a hand-written note full of love which led to a new friendship millions learned of.

The letter said: “Hello neighbors. My name is Troy. I’m in 4th grade and I’m just wondering if maybe after this virus you need a dog sitter and if so I can take your dog on walks and more.”

Arthur’s humans were delighted. They were more than happy to let Troy play with their dog once things get better. In the meantime, they shared the letter online and even organized an online play-date for the newly-made friends.

Everyone who has seen the letter could be kept updated from the Instagram account @arthurthefloof  created on the behalf of Arthur who already has over 40,000 followers.

“Just a quick pupdate – me and the smol neighbor had a really great (socially distant) playdate today. Because he’s so smol we didn’t take any pics just for privacy purposes but he told me all about his dog fren and even showed me some dance moves!! I have a feeling we’re gonna be best buds!” one of the pup’s Instagram-post reads.

We are sure that Arthur and Troy will become best of friends and will have a lovely time together in the days and years to come.

Girl who grew up with two gorillas reunites with them in the jungle 12 years later

A video worth more than 20,9 million views shows the incredible nature of the stunning gorillas named Djalta and Bimms. These magnificent animals were part of the program of re-introducing gorillas back to the wild founded by one of the greatest names among conservationists, Damian Aspinall.

This man has done for the gorillas more than anyone can ever imagine. He has dedicated his whole life raising them and helping them get back into their natural habitat.

YouTube: The Aspinall Foundation

Djalta and Bimms were released from the Howletts Wild Animal Park in Kent, where they were born, into the forest of Gabon, West Africa, back in 2003. And then, in late 2014, or almost 12 years later, Damian and his daughter Tansy, who has last seen the gorillas when she was just a baby, are about to reunite with them again.

But how would it go? Would the intelligent animals recognize the man who was by their side during the first years of their lives?

The video below gives you the answer to these questions. Take a look at it to see the heartwarming encounter between long-lost friends.

Bride’s 7 brothers perform epic wedding dance that stole the hearts of more than 18 million people

Imagine being the only sister in a family of eight children. Some may say dealing with that many boys every single day has to be hard, but others will know that a girl with seven brothers is treated like a real princess. If you don’t agree with the latter, the below video will make you think otherwise.

The sister is getting married and her seven brothers decide to surprise her with what is described by one of them as “an epic choreography.”

One you see the dance routine yourself, you will agree it’s totally unique. It was choreographed by Nicky Farmer of Kidology Dance Co. The dance is a mix of styles and the final result is mesmerizing. Starting with pop, to R&B, to Bollywood, the 9-minute choreography has been seen over 18 million times.

Salsa follows and then the brothers, who are aged 17 to 46, “spice the dance up with a bit of Bollywood.”

The ending is probably the best part of this surprise dance. As One Direction’s song That’s What Makes You Beautiful is on, the brothers dance around their sister as she’s sitting in the middle of the dance floor and sheds tears of joy.

12-year-old figure skater from Russia performs some of the most difficult jumps

In the world of figure skating, some moves are considered ultimate and are only performed by the greatest in the field. That is why, merely the entire world was wowed by the impeccable skills of a 12-year-old girl from Moscow, Russia, named Veronica Zhilina.

Veronica takes the ice stage looking confident. No stage fright at all from what we can see, which is surprising from someone her age watched by many. She skates on the famous hit by Leonard Cohen, Hallelujah, but this time, it’s the version of singer Alexandra Berk who recorded the song after performing it on the 2008 season of X-Factor.

Parents surprise daughter by getting her the dog she cared for while volunteering at a shelter

What would the best Christmas gift for an animal lover be? The answer is pretty much obvious. A pet adopted form a shelter. That way, these special people are getting their furry best friend, and an animal gets a new home. This sounds like the perfect plan, doesn’t it? Well, that’s exactly what these Seiling, Oklahoma, parents did for their daughter.

She always wanted a dog, but somehow, it was never the right time according to her mom and dad. But she was so eager to be around dogs that she started volunteering at the local shelter, and that’s where she fell in love with one special pooch named Rambo.

Hallee Fuqua’s response to seeing the dog unleashed a rollercoaster of emotions.

Rambo was a Plott Hound and Mountain mix who stole Hallee’s heart the moment she laid eyes on him. She really wanted to take him home, and had no idea that her wish will be granted just before Christmas.

“She would come in and just sit with him,” Jackie Ross-Guerrero, the shelter’s director, told ABC News. “They connected from day one.”

Lance and his wife visited the shelter and adopted the dog without telling their daughter. They even asked the rest of the staff to keep the adoption a secret.

The next day, Hallee went to work only to realize ‘her dog’ was given to a forever family. Although she was glad for his well-being, she was also a bit sad because she wanted it to be part of her family.

Now, just a week before Christmas, Hallee’s parents placed Rambo at the doorstep and waited to see their daughter’s reaction, which was luckily caught on tape.

 “This isn’t a joke?” Hallee Fuqua says through tears of happiness at the end of the Facebook video.

This will be the best Christmas ever, with the family welcoming another member that will make their days more enjoyable.

Guy tries to explain the bad smell of a woman he came across, but his gag reflex is triggered each time and it’s hilarious

Good personal hygiene is crucial for keeping our body, head, and hands clean and healthy. At the same time, it also affects those around us and the people we randomly meet every single day. Of course, no one wants to go around smelling badly, but yet, there are people who fail to keep themselves clean. That has an impact on their social life, for sure, because everyone tends to avoid those who don’t bath and spread unbearable odor.

Unfortunately for the man from the video below named Mr. Cimarello, but luckily for us because it made us burst out laughing, he stumbled upon a woman at the store whose odor was the worst ever.

He was so frustrated by the encounter, that he started complaining to his wife about the smelly woman he met. However, speaking of it wasn’t easy as his gag reflex was triggered every time he tried to explain what he had to go through. His wife couldn’t stop laughing, and according to her, she was still in stitches a couple of hours after she stopped filming her “disturbed” husband.

The video has been seen over 8.2 million times, with thousands commenting how it is the most hilarious clip there is. Check it out below and tell us if you had a great laugh yourself.

3-year-old boy goes viral after leading Pre-K class in prayer at St. Louis Christian school

Isn’t it incredible how little children can be more considerate and more thoughtful than the adults at times? Although they have their whole life ahead of them, some kids learn the true values on life from very early age. Of course, most times, it is their parents who teach them right from wrong and guide them towards growing into good humans.

When the video of sweet Makhi Martin was posted online in January 2020, his mom had no idea it would turn her little boy in one of the most loved individuals in America.

Although he was just three years old, he managed to steal the hearts of millions by leading his class in prayer before lunch at the Transformation Christian School in St. Louis. Makhi starts the prayer with the words “Father God,” and the whole class repeats after him. He then continuous saying, “We thank you for this food. We ask you to bless it. Make it nourishment to our bodies.”

He ends his prayer by asking God to “bless all the boys and girls all over the world to receive food.”

His mother, Ranisha Martin, posted the video on Instagram and it was later shared on YouTube where it has been seen over 6.7 million times.

Ranisha never heard Makhi say a prayer that clearly. She was surprised herself and said she’s proud of her boy. She also added how they received a lot of positive comments from people from all over the country and beyond.

Take a look at the video below.

3-year-old girl attacked by a dog wearing service vest while at a restaurant

3-year-old girl named Ronin Waldroup suffered horrible injuries on her face and experienced emotional trauma after she was attacked by a dog wearing a service vest in a restaurant in Old Town Spring, Texas.

The girl entered the place with her parents’ friend, Kimberly Parker, while her mom and dad were folding the stroller outside. Everything happened very quickly, and according to Kimberly, once she and Ronin stood in line, the girl came face to face with the Pit Bull which attacked her out of the blue.

“It had a hold of her face and shook her,” she told ABC News. “The lady pulled on the leash, the dog released her and she just dropped like a rag doll.”

After the incident, the woman ran out of the restaurant, but Ronin’s dad, James Waldroup, started chasing her and reached her. However, the woman never said she was sorry or apologized for what her dog did. On the contrary, she started yelling how everything was the girl’s fault, which according to witnesses wasn’t true.

Sweet Ronin ended up with 15 stitches on her face, according to a GoFundMe page set up to help the family with the hospital expenses.

According to the doctors, the scars will not be extremely bad, but they advised the Waldroups to consult a plastic surgeon.

“It’s enough that she’s going to have the mental trauma,” Ronin’s mom Cleveratta told ABC News. “I don’t want her to look in the mirror and have that be a constant reminder of what happened.”

The woman with the dog was identified and the Harris County Sheriff’s Office reported how they scheduled a meeting with her regarding the incident in which her service dog was involved.

Ronin’s parents are asking for the dog owner to be held accountable. “For them to not show any compassion or any remorse to even stop and ask if my baby was OK, it goes beyond words,” Cleveratta said.

We wish Ronin forget this horrific incident over time and we hope she recovers as soon as possible.
