Firefighters follow retired police dog to toddlers trapped in burning house

That dogs are the best pets one can ask for is something that most of us know already. But after reading this story of the German Shepherd who helped save his family, you’ll fall in love with these loyal and loving animals even more.

Military veteran Brent Feaser from Longwood, Florida and his next door neighbor though it was the perfect day for hanging around. Nothing spoke tragedy on that peaceful day.

Unfortunately, as the two were watching Jupiter through their telescope, they heard an explosion. In the next moment, they could see part of Brent’s house blowing up.

Unfortunately, his wife Margo and their two children aged two and four were still inside the burning place. After taking a second or two to understand what was really going on, Brent and his neighbor rushed towards the house as quickly as they could.

The two men tried smashing the windows with the furniture that was on the porch hoping they would be able to pull Margo and the kids to safety.

They managed to get Margo out, but both her and Brent were thinking of getting inside again so that they could save their little ones.

At that moment, the firefighters arrived at the scene and got inside the burning place. The smoke made it difficult for them to navigate around the house, but then, all of a sudden, help arrived. The family dog Maxx appeared and led the rescuers to the kids’ room.

Maxx who is a retired K-9 saved his human siblings’ life that day and he was the real hero of the story.

Currently, all of the family members are recovering at different hospitals as they all suffered from burns and heavy smoke inhalation. They were listed in serious to critical condition but are expected to recuperate all thanks to their loving dog Maxx.

This family is so lucky to be having such a caring dog in their life. He deserves a reward for his brave action.

Imagine what it must feel like to experience the water for the first time ever after a life spent in chains. Luckily, that’s something the staff at Save Elephant Foundation does for Thailand’s captive elephant population.

These loving creatures get to be part of their natural habitat and enjoy the beauties the wild has to offer. Once freed, elephants get a second chance for a life they truly deserve.

Kannika and Madee are two sweet souls that had to go through ordeal and spend their days in captivity. But today, they can leave that negative experience behind them and have fun in the water.

Seeing them hanging around and splashing is the best thing you’ll see all day. Currently, they are placed at the protected natural habitat of Phuket Elephant Sanctuary.

62-year-old can’t recognize herself after getting stunning makeover

No matter how drastic or slight, we all need a change every once in a while. Now if we feel like changing our physical appearance then we are likely to look for a professional to help us achieve what we have in mind. And who’s better at making men and women happy and satisfied with the way they look if not for the Makeover Guy.

This time, he had a visitor from Dallas, Texas. LaDawn, was looking forward to a fresh look for her daughter’s big day and decided she should ‘give’ the job to the best of the best so she flew to Minneapolis, Minnesota, straight to the saloon of Christopher Hopkins.

This woman shared with the Makeover Guy how she struggled with her hair all her life because of what she referred to as “the Grand Canyon” which was caused by hair growth issues and was right in the back of her head.

Honestly, looking at her, we didn’t think she needed much change, but the final result just convinced us we don’t even know that we can elevate the way we look if we don’t try.

LaDawn turned into a hot redhead and got bangs. It gave her whole face a completely different look. We believe she now appears at least 20 years younger, and the best thing is that she agrees.

Her initial reaction after seeing herself in the mirror was, “Oh my goodness, who is that?”

It’s obvious she enjoyed the whole experience to the max. Always smiling and admiring her reflection, she really deserved to feel young again.

But there was another thing she and Christopher did, and it made us all laugh. She admitted how her daughter asked her to make sure not to return “looking like a rock star.” But that’s exactly what she did. Well, it was just a cute prank, she didn’t really went home with her hair all up.

Christopher gave her ‘temporary’ faux hawk-hair style and we could hear LaDawn shouting, “Woo hoo, Chelsea, this is for you.”

People loved it so much that they took their time to comment.

Christopher gave her some tips on how to style her hair back home and what’s most, he took care of that ‘hole’ at the back that was giving her so much trouble by leaving it longer on the top so she can easily hide it.

Transformations like these not only change the physical appearance of people, but they also make them feel more confident about themselves, and I guess that’s what matters most.

As she turns in her chair, LaDawn is glowing from happiness. She loves her new and improved self and we are sure she’s going to be one of the most attractive guests at her daughter’s wedding.

Only if we could see peoples’ reaction to LaDawn’s change. That would be awesome!

Take a look at the magic Christopher pulls on LaDawn in the video below.

100 Hospital Workers Line Halls To Honor Late Nurse Who Donated Her Organs

Mary Desin was a nurse who devoted her whole life saving and taking care of her patients. Sadly, on June 3, 2019, she lost her life due to brain aneurysm.

The lights on the top of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center’s Hamot Hospital in Erie, Pennsylvania that are turned on when a donation or organ transplant is in progress shone in her honor this time.

Even after her death, this brave woman didn’t stop spreading her kindness, this time by donating her organs.

More than 100 colleagues and hospital employees did an amazing act to pay tribute to this special woman. As her body was being transferred to the operating room, they all lined the halls and honored her devotion to saving lives.

Those who knew her say that this was the send-off that she truly deserved.

One of the medical staff members shared the photo on Facebook with a message that touched the hearts of everyone who got to see it. It said:

“We turned them on yesterday to honor one of our beloved nurses, who sadly passed unexpectedly in our presence. She donated her organs to continue to help save lives, even in her passing. We had a walk for her, hallways lined with more people than I could have counted to see her off. From now on, those lights will not only be turned on when someone RECEIVES an organ, but also when someone donates, as well. It was a very emotional day yesterday, and Mary, we will never forget you or the impact you made throughout your career!”

Desin’s story spread like a wildfire and members of her family joined ABC’s Good Morning America to talk about how much her colleague’s act meant to them. The also spoke of the importance of being organ donor.

“It was extremely emotional. Most everybody was crying. People I didn’t even know came up to me during the time and said how much they loved her and she helped them get further in their career,” said Desin’s son Matthew James.

He added how they were surprised by the number of people who showed up to honor his late mother. He knew she was appreciated by everyone, but had no idea her impact on those around her was so huge.

“I expected maybe 20 people from her times as an OR nurse and her current position to be there,” James said. “I didn’t expect over 100 people to be impacted by her loss.”

Donny McDowell, a nurse at the hospital and Desin’s friend said how she was one of the bravest and selfless people she’s ever met.

“What Mary was doing was very brave. [It was incredible] to see the lives that would be changed because of Mary’s gift. The thing about Mary that I learned the most is that you always give and you keep on giving a little bit more.”

Other people took their time to share what Desin meant to them and how she affected their life.

It was mainly her former mentees who felt like expressing their gratitude for this truly special woman.

“She was an animal lover, especially of dogs. Mary was generous to a fault, always helping anyone that crossed her path. She loved that her job as a nurse allowed her to help anyone and everyone she could,” her family said.

She now lives through the people whose lives she saved.

The video is so touching, you may need to get your tissues.

Rest in Peace Mary, you were one of a kind!

Owners Who Got Evicted Left Dogs Behind to Die

The following story is just another proof that not everyone deserves to own a pet. I guess that before taking one in, people should pass certain psychology tests the same way they do when babies are being adopted.

This would show whether or not someone is ready to take care of the animal.

Frankie Floridia of the Guardians of Rescue gets allerted about neglected animals all the time. But the recent case he shared with us was a bit more disturbing from the rest of the rescue cases he and his co-workers have been involved in.

It all happened when he got a call from the neighbors of a family that got evicted recently. They said how they could listen barking coming out of the place.

When they came at the scene, they were left in complete shock. The family just left their two pit bulls behind in the empty house. There was dirt and feces all around the poor creatures.

The dogs were a male and a female, and whereas one of them was caged, the other was free. But both were left there to die.

Their health condition was poor and they were in need of urgent medical help.

One of the neighbors would throw food through the window, but that wasn’t enough for them to stay healthy or well fed.

At first, the terrified animals refused to be approached by Floridia and his crew, but once they were outside the house they realized those people were there to save them.

“They were completely different dogs… happy, wagging their tails,” he said.

The girl was named Sky and she was adopted by a loving family shortly after her rescue took place. The boy, Max, is placed with a foster family but the chances are he’s getting a forever home too.

We are so glad this amazingly loving pit bulls were found just on time to be saved.

Bull Who Spent His Entire Life Chained To A Rail is Finally Set Free

Most people are fond of animals and enjoy spending time around them. Unfortunately, there are also those who fail at treating these creatures the way they deserve. As a result, very often, we hear stories of many animals being neglected or left behind by their humans, and it always makes us feel sad.

The following story is about a gorgeous bull who spent his entire life chained to a rail. His place was way too small for making considerable movement, which sadly meant his body was sore and became fragile over time.

Bulls are meant to run freely, and enjoy the green grass, but that’s rarely the case.

This one, however, was lucky enough to be finally saved by a kind man. The bull’s reaction when he experiences freedom is so touching that it made millions cry.

4-year-old girl feeds and controls 6 Pit Bulls

By

Although they were once considered America’s favorite breed and were widely used as nanny dogs, pit bulls are nowadays considered one of the most aggressive dogs. Unfortunately, this belief is a result of the way humans treated them throughout the years. Used as fighting dogs and forced into violence, it’s not surprising they are branded as dangerous.

A woman named Nina Wahl is a pit bull lover who wants to change the stigma attached to these otherwise loving and gentle canines. How she did it? By posting a video of her four year old niece trying to control and feed six of them. The clip went viral and thousands of people took a stand. Many said how she put the life of the girl in danger, whereas other only took the video as a definite proof that Pit Bulls are in fact amazing animals.

The little girl could be seen carrying food for the hungry dogs. They stand still and don’t move even an inch until the little lady puts the food in their bowls and counts to three before she gives them a command to start munching on their lunch.

Their discipline is incredible. Their self-control too.

The video has been seen more than 15 million times.

We guess it only speaks of the fact that dogs’ behavior depends on the way they were trained and brought up and doesn’t have to do with their breed.

Take a look at it below and share your thoughts with us in the comment section below.

Mom and Dad never had to teach their dog how to love their baby girl

By

We can all say how dogs are our most loyal furry pals, our best friends, and the cutest living creatures ever, but the reality is that there are no really words to describe how important and valuable they are to humans.

The family of sweet baby girl Laura knows that best. The moment they introduced their bundle of joy with their family dog Charlie the Beagle the most amazing thing happened.

They had to teach him how to help change her diaper, swing her crib, and play with her, but one thing they never had to teach him was how to love her endlessly.

Charlie makes their days and brings smile on everyone’s face. The video of him and his human sibling is so cute and touching that it melts hearts everywhere!

Emaciated Dog Seized By Police Wags Tail Again After Having 7-Pound Tumor Removed

By

-

By the time they arrive at shelters, many dogs look pretty unhealthy, puzzled, and scared. Such was the case with a pooch named Holden who ended up the the local animal shelter in Georgia.

However, this particular dog wouldn’t let the hard past affect his future, so in just a matter of days, Holden turned into a completely new pup. He became the staff’s favorite and everyone was eager to get some of the kisses he was sharing around the place.

His story is that of never giving up and is a perfect reminder that we should always keep trying, no matter how harsh things get.

Although pretty terrified of the new surrounding, Holden would try to get to any bowl of food that was on his way. He was starving and weighted only 25 pounds, which was around 15 pounds under a normal weight for a pup of his kind.

Holden was seized by the police during a drug raid at the home of his owners. He was severely neglected and it was obvious he had no idea what it felt like to be loved or taken care of.

Unfortunately, the shelter that admitted him was already overcrowded and there was no chance for them to make any room for him, so the poor animal was left wrapped in a blanket, at the waiting room.

Luckily, the staff was more than eager to do their best to find him a new home. They took to social media to spread his story.

During the check-up, the vet found out something truly horrible. There was something inside Holden’s body that was slowly killing him.

It was discovered that he had a 7-pound tumor that had to be operated as soon as possible.

A surgery would mean for Holden to go through trauma again, but miraculously, that didn’t prevent for his vibrant personality to shine. Despite the pain and the inability to eat properly, Holden would wag his tail whenever he would see a human treating him with a smile or a pat on the head.

The second important step towards better life, after the successful surgery, was Holden getting out of the crowded shelter. His transfer was arranged by Releash Atlanta.

Below is a photo of Holden with one of the kind volunteers named Ashley. It shows how cute and friendly this pup really is.

It was Melissa Lentz who agreed to foster Holden until his complete recovery. This woman is a seasoned foster mom for scared little puppies.

There, in his new home, Holden got to hang out with Melissa’s daughter and the rest of the pups she was taking care of. He started eating regularly and his will to live was stronger than ever.

Melissa is doing her best to nurture Holden back to complete recovery. She’s keeping everyone update about his condition by sharing photos and videos of him on Facebook.

Hopefully, the right people would recognize in Holden their new pet that they would love endlessly and he will end up in a forever home. His positive outlook on life is inspiring and we wish him only the best!

Those who have ever attended a government or a town meeting know how serious, yet boring they can be. Going through long and tiring discussions isn’t always easy to pull, but luckily, there is always someone who knows how to add a bit of humor in the seriousness of the job.

This time, it was someone who just couldn’t contain their loud and noisy farts.

As they were going through a bunch of important issues, one of the panel members farted to loud that it left everyone totally puzzled and surprised.

Well, I guess it’s just a nature’s call that can’t be ignored, but honestly, the person couldn’t choose worse time to answer it.

At first, everyone was doing their best not to laugh, but then another fart came along and the whole meeting turned into a comedy show. People were laughing so hard that it was difficult for them to get back to what they were doing before the ‘nasty’ surprise.

Although it’s short, this video is all you need for your day to get better. You will probably watch it more than once, that’s how hilarious it is.

Although it made everyone’s day, I wouldn’t want to be that person who created all that laughing fuzz.

Take a look at it now and you can thank me later 🙂

Nothing really beats the relationship between dogs and little kids. Growing up around one turns the little ones into better and more responsible individuals.

And the love between them is always a bit stronger than any other out there.

The little girl from the video below gets to say the sweetest goodbye to her dog every day before she goes to school. How she does it? By kissing him on the nose three times. The dog gets so affectionate over those sweet kisses that he barks back as though he wants to say ‘thank you.’

And when she gets back from school, her doggies Samson and Sebastian are always there to treat her with a few licks.

Take a look at their sweet routine.

Cute Fox Cubs Turn Grandma’s Porch Into Their Playground

By

Living near the woods has lots of advantages. You get to inhale fresh air, away from the heavy traffic, and get up every morning looking at the trees. What’s most, you also get to hang out with some wild creatures every once in a while.

Reddit user that goes by the name “Vechrotex” shared cute photos of an adorable baby fox that spent a fun day at his grandma’s porch, and people loved it.

The next day, however, something even better happened. The baby returned accompanied with his sibling, and the two decided the grandma’s porch was a perfect playground.

They love the place so much that they visit it every single day. It’s spacious and fun and they enjoy running around it. Their mother keeps a close eye on them hiding behind the bushes and when she thinks her babies had enough fun, she calls the day off and helps them get back home.

This all looks unreal and mesmerizing. I know I would want such cute visitors, don’t you?

We are glad Vechrotex and his grandma take so many photos of the cubs that they share with the rest of us.

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

By

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

By

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

By

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.

Boy With Down Syndrome Goes Viral Because of his Enchanting Singing

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.

Tiny Kitten Stuck Between Concrete Blocks on Busy Road is Saved by a Passerby

By

Rob Acuña Jr. was driving back home after a long and tiring day at work and at one point he though he noticed two tiny eyes looking at him.

As he was really exhausted, he believed he only imagined it so he continued driving. But he felt he wasn’t at easy and decided to get back there just to make sure it wasn’t an animal stuck on the busy road. For if it was, it certainly needed someone to step in and help.

“I noticed a little bump on the freeway wall that just happened to look like a little face as I drove by,” Acuña told The Dodo. “I honestly thought I was seeing things since it had been a long day and was so tired.”

This time, he was driving carefully because he didn’t want to miss those tiny eyes he believed gazed at him before.

That’s when he spotted a fur ball stuck between two slabs of concrete lining on the freeway. It was a little kitten that was obviously frightened and confused. He believed it was abandoned and rushed to take it in his hands.

Acuña grabbed it just on time, before it jumped off the overpass.

He put the rescue on tape. You can look at it below.

“I knew I only had seconds to react,” he said. “The entire time I was in complete disbelief! If I had not caught it on camera, I would not believe that it even happened!”

“I am just in shock right now!” he posted on Facebook. “SO happy he/she did not jump over the ledge (about 20ft-30ft drop) !”

Acuña took the sweet animal home and his family was more than happy to foster it and take care of it until it was adopted through Southern Comfort Animal Rescue. They learned the kitty was a female and named her Pepper.

This wasn’t the first time for Acuña to rescue an animal from certain death. He once saved the life of a dog that was hit by a car, and his family had fostered other animals before.

Pepper turned to be a vibrant kitty that was happy to be spending her time with people who loved her.

“She is doing fantastic!” Acuña Jr. said. “After a few days of being able to decompress and relax, she is starting to come out of her shell and really show the world how feisty and precious she is. It is so hard to believe she was ever in that situation to begin with.”

After the vet’s visit, it was determined that Pepper was a healthy 10-weeks-old kitten.

Once the video of the rescue vent viral, a great number of people contacted Acuña wanting to adopt the sweet creature.

“We absolutely love Pepper and know that if we do not keep her, we will find her the best home possible through a rescue,” he said. “What we really want others to know (since I have received thousands of messages asking if someone can adopt her) is that there are so many more strays in need! Just because they do not have a dramatic video to go along with them, does not mean they do not deserve the same love and attention.”

Thanks to Acuña, Pepper got a new chance for a better life and she’s thriving.

Mom who confronted her son’s bullies on school grounds is arrested

Sadly, most educational institutions fail to cope with the problem of bulling many students face with. When it comes to this, parents are forced to stand for their vulnerable children and take things into their own hands.

When a South Carolina mom decided it was enough and confronted her son’s bullies she got arrested by the authorities and is now facing charges. She, however, said that she couldn’t “get the message across any other way.”

The video of the confrontation that took place at the Greenbrier Elementary School was quickly removed from the social media. Doing her best to protect her child, the only thing she actually got from her action were charges of interfering, disrupting, and disturbing.

According to the videos and the authorities, Jamie Louise Rathburn could be seen entering the school building in the morning of May 17 after which she “lift her finger in a pointing manner and circled around as if making sure all the kids heard her and were listening.”

Rathburn allegedly told the third graders how they had no idea who were they dealing with, and later apologized for “allowing emotions to control her behavior.”

“I can’t go eat lunch with my children,” Rathburn said. “I can’t watch them on field day. As class mom, that’s devastating.”

The mother was unhappy with the school’s decision to ban her from entering in.

“I’m frustrated with the children’s actions, but at the end of the day I’m angry with the adults involved in this situation, because we are the ones with the power to stop this,” Rathburn told the Greenville News.

She got furious with the administration’s decision to separate her and her son during recess time so that they could pay closer look at the boy.

Regarding the bullying issue, it was not stated whether the kids involved were punished or not. She said how she didn’t get any documentation regarding the case due to privacy concerns since an official report would have to include other students’ information.

“I am absolutely ashamed of myself for the actions of walking up into that school,” Rathburn told the Greenville News. “You know, I owe the parents, the children and the staff an apology for that. Absolutely, it was wrong. But honestly, I don’t know how I could have gotten my message across any other way.”

The school didn’t want to give any public comments concerning the case or the incident and Rathburn was released on $1,000 bond. Her next court date would be on June 18.

World War II Veteran Reunites With French Woman 75 Years After He First Met Her and Fell in Love

This is one of those stories that remind us of the power of the first love. No matter how much time passes and what life brings, that one person who made you feel butterflies in your stomach for the first time ever will always have a special place in your heart.

KT Robins is a 97-year-old World War II veteran who happened to be serving in the small French town of Briey back in 1944. That is when he first spotted the stunning young lady named Jeannine Ganaye. Now years after they first met and fell in love with one another, the couple is reunited.

The touching reunion that melted the hearts not only of France and America, but the whole world took place at the retirement home where Jeannine now spends her days.

It all started when Robinson decided to share his story with a group of French journalists. He told them how he needed someone to wash his clothes while serving in France 75 years ago and Jeannine’s mother was more than happy to lend him a helping hand.

He recalls how he went head over heels for the beautiful lady the moment he laid eyes on her and it was more than obvious that she loved him back. Sadly, he had to leave her town and head to the Eastern Front.

‘I told her maybe I’ll come back and take you, but it did not happen like that,’ Robbins told French television channel France 2.

‘When he left in the truck, I cried, of course, I was very sad,’ added Jeannine, whose last name is now Pierson. ‘I wish, after the war, he hadn’t returned to America.’

All Jeannine hoped for was for her love to get back to her after the war was over. Unfortunately, that never happened so she decided to continue her life without him. Eventually, she got married and had five children.

Robbins returned to America and found love with his wife Lillian. The two were married for 70 years and both worked together at a hardware store in Mississippi. Lillian passed away in 2015 at the age of 92.

What Robbins had of that time in France was his affection towards Jeannine and an old black-and-white photo of her. He didn’t really think he would meet her ever again.

When he met with the French journalists, he had his photo with him. He was again in France after so much time for the 75th anniversary of D-Day. When speaking to them, he asked whether they could help him find Jeannine’s family, believing she was no longer alive.

But the journalists did their job and managed to track down Robbin’s first love. The facility home she stayed at was located only 27 miles from her hometown.

When they told him he was going to meet her again, saying, “She’s alive, and she’s waiting for you,” the veteran’s heart skipped a beat.

The moment they saw each other was magical. It felt as though not a single second passed since the last time they spoke.

‘I always loved you. You never got out of my heart,’ Robbins told Jeannine.

‘He said he loves me. I understood that much,’ Pierson told one of the journalists.

But it was when he showed her the photo of her that he kept all those years that she started shedding tears.

Jeannine got to ask him why he never came back to look for her, but life is sometimes unpredictable and things don’t always turn out as we expect.

They spoke for a couple of hours and Robbins promised this wasn’t going to be the last time he visits her.

Stray Dog Keeps Escaping, Rescuers Can’t Hold Back Their Tears When They Learn the Reason Why

Most stray dogs have rough life on the streets because they are left to fend for themselves. Many times they are forced to go through people’s garbage in hopes of finding some food, or they simply wait for someone kind to offer them their scraps.

Betty Boop is one those canines who wasn’t lucky enough to end up as someone’s pet. One day, however, this dog was spotted by a woman named Krystle Woodward who wanted to take her in and give her some food. But it wasn’t an easy task as the dog was doing her best to escape whenever Woodward would approach her.

After a couple failures, Betty Boop was finally in the hands of Woodward and her husband. They gave her a bath and wanted to take her at the vet’s for a check-up but the dog escaped once again.

The couple knew something was going on as the dog didn’t want to stay with them even though they fed her and treated her nice. They assumed she could be having puppies, so one day, they decided to let her out and hopefully lead them to her litter of babies.

To their surprise, Betty Boop indeed was a mother. She had ten babies, and her rescuers couldn’t believe what they were seeing.

What is remarkable about this whole story is that she trusted these humans so much that she allowed them to meet the sweet puppies.

The meeting was filled with emotions as both the woman and the dog cried. This is something you need to see to believe.

Unfortunately, as the two were watching Jupiter through their telescope, they heard an explosion. In the next moment, they could see part of Brent’s house blowing up.

LaDawn turned into a hot redhead and got bangs. It gave her whole face a completely different look. We believe she now appears at least 20 years younger, and the best thing is that she agrees.

Transformations like these not only change the physical appearance of people, but they also make them feel more confident about themselves, and I guess that’s what matters most.

Even after her death, this brave woman didn’t stop spreading her kindness, this time by donating her organs.

Those who knew her say that this was the send-off that she truly deserved.

Other people took their time to share what Desin meant to them and how she affected their life.

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.

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.

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

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

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.”
