There are days when we all need a smile.  Let's share fun/heart-warming stories here so others can share the smile.

Here's one I just read that made me smile:  Black lab likes to take solo bus ride to her dog park stop.

That was very nice of you Dennis.  :hug:

Thanks for sharing DonnaB!

I just wish our daily newspapers, TV and other media sources would publish the good things that people do instead of all the negative garbage they print or talk about.  Sure would be a positive way to start the day. JMHO

Here's another warm and fuzzy story from Russia:

Cat Saves Abandoned Baby Boy From Freezing to Death in Russia

Animal instincts amaze me.

I saw that video before.  It gave me chills then and did again.  She is an incredibly talented young lady.  I like conductor/violinist André Rieu also.

Here's an incredible youtube that will warm your heart and remove "I can't do this" from your vocabulary.

A businessman will fly half way around the world next week to pay the pension of an old family friend who has become the face of Greece's economic crisis.

James Koufos, a finance CEO based in Sydney, told Daily Mail Australia he will fly to Athens in the coming days after he tracked down Giorgos Chatzifotiadis - the 77-year-old man who was photographed last week weeping uncontrollably outside a bank in Thessaloniki, thanks to social media.

Since the photo was published around the world, Mr Koufos learned Mr Chatzifotiadis was a friend of his late father, George Koufidis, and that the two went to school together in the same Greek village.
