Groundbreaking Cafe Lets You Play With Puppies While Sipping Your Coffee

If you’ve ever visited an animal shelter, you know how much shelters can feel like an animal prison rather than a temporary home, which is why so many animals struggle so show off their real personalities and instead look sad, anxious, and afraid.

To give these animals the chance they deserve, Sarah Wolfgang decided to open the first dog cafe in the United States where people can play and cuddle animals from local animal shelters while having some tea or coffee. For just $10, visitors get one drink and an entire 55 minutes of play time with lovable pups.

“The Dog Cafe offers a comfortable and fun space for humans and dogs to hang out with each other, away from overcrowded shelters, which can provoke fear and aggression in perfectly adoptable pups,” the cafe explained. “In addition to helping worthy pups find homes, we also offer the opportunity for people unable to have pets of their own to spend quality time with furry friends (and vice versa) without the commitment of adoption.”

The cafe is partnered with local shelters that send dogs who would be overlooked in a shelter setting, and would benefit the most from the social interaction. And should a patron get attached to one of the adorable dogs, they are all available and ready for adoption. “Our whole adoption process can take up to a month. We understand that this is a lengthy process, but this ensures that our dogs go to homes that are 100% ready to make a lifetime commitment to their new four-legged family member,” the Los Angeles-based cafe explained.

“When visitors see our dogs here with us, they see them in their true light,” Wolfgang said.

Careless Babysitter Places Child In Washing Machine Causing The Unthinkable

If you ever forget babies do not belong in washing machines, let the following story serve as a reminder:

This incident happened in May of 2012, when an unnamed New Jersey man was with his girlfriend known only as Sandra. According to WTVR, Sandra was babysitting a friend’s child while she was running errands of her own. The two were at a laundromat when the boyfriend allegedly thought it would be cute to play hide-and-seek and put the baby in the washing machine.

However, this unfortunately unintelligent man forgot that washing machines automatically lock, so what started as a quirky game, soon turned into a horrifying scenario of life and death.

[Youtube]
[Youtube]

While the frantic couple watched the machine slowly fill with water, a nearby hero jumped on the situation.

A laundromat employee, who has remained unnamed, jumped to his feet in seconds and knew exactly what to do. The employee clambered toward the circuit breaker and immediately shut the power off, heroically saving the baby’s life in the knick of time.

The whole thing was caught on camera, and the story skyrocketed to the top of the local news cycle. If this wasn’t bad enough, perhaps the worst part of this story is what followed next.

[Today]
[Today]
When Sakia David, the boy’s mother, saw the video on the news, she couldn’t help but wonder if the child in the fuzzy security footage was hers. He sure did look familiar. She even confronted the babysitter, who denied having any part in the incident. However, David soon discovered the truth when police showed up to her house.

The babysitter has been fired for obvious reasons and David says she would like to press charges, but the case will likely be dismissed. Since no harm came to the child and the young man’s intentions were not of malicious intention, there is little room for a lawsuit.

Apparently, you can’t prosecute somebody for being incomprehensibly stupid.

But you can spread this story with other parents and encourage people to SHARE this shocking story on Facebook. Make people aware of what can happen when you leave your child in the wrong hands.

Nowadays, it’s hard to go to a beach or a pool and not be distracted by other people’s swimwear.

Whether it’s a little one still in diapers donning a shockingly teeny bikini or a woman showing a little too much skin for your liking, sometimes you just can’t help but turn your head and wonder what they were thinking dressing like this.

However, there’s a big difference between wearing something society says is inappropriate and rocking it well — and the woman below is giving a whole new meaning to age-appropriate style.

In a photo posted to Facebook by Byron Bay, Australia clothing store Lady Watego, we see one 90-year-old grandmother Irene rock a red polka dot bikini like she was born to do it.

Irene was travelling on a cruise with her family and after some encouragement from her friends at the nursing home, decided to set her sights on a two piece for the trip. With help from the staff, Irene selected the adorable Seafolly Australia brand bikini, snapping a photo for everyone that helped her make the brilliant fashion selection.

With thousands of shares, likes, and uplifting comments on Facebook, it’s clear that people everywhere have been inspired by Irene’s fashionable and surprising bikini photo.

The store’s owner even let everyone how happy they’ve been with the viral photo and it’s body positive message. “Thanks everyone for all the positivity! This is the message I try to get across to women of all ages everyday in my store-get out & enjoy life!” Lady Watego wrote on Facebook.

Please SHARE Irene’s message of body positivity and inspire someone in your life to look and feel their best!

Many people would run at the sight of python, which is among the most deadliest snakes in the world. 

But for one little girl, her father encouraged her to engage with a massive 8-foot reticulated python

In the startling video below, dad, Ed Taoka filmed his 3-year-old fooling around with a pet python.  She happily hugs the deadly snake, seeming completely unfazed. 

It is clear from Taoka’s other videos on YouTube that the python has been a part of the family since it was a lot younger and much smaller. However, the footage is shocking and it scares us to know what this python is capable of, no matter how long it’s been in the family.

Here’s proof that having a dog in the house is great for the entire family!

As you can see in this precious story about a boy and his dog, there are plenty of good reasons why every kid deserves to grow up with a canine companion.

Not only do dogs help kids learn about empathy, respect, responsibility, and love, they also make the  very best babysitters.

Bee and Joshua Fisher know this well, as two gigantic dogs have managed to make their big, lovable family even bigger. The Fishers are parents to three little boys, so you can imagine all the fun they were having before they decided to introduce two new family members.

The family decided to adopt Ralphie and Boss, two tiny Newfoundland puppies who grew into larger-than-life canines of around 300 pounds each.

Woman Powerfully Defends Her Small Engagement Ring After Years Of Comments

While love may not cost anything, diamond engagement rings certainly cost a pretty penny. Since a wedding band is the physical symbol of the love between two people, many generally think the bigger the ring the more the couple loves each other and the more successful their lives have been together.

For years, a Minnesota mom has been getting comments from well-meaning friends and family about the size of her engagement ring because they felt it was too small to possibly reflect the love and success she and her husband had achieved. “I’ve even had one person say ‘you could wear a bigger ring for important events, so people don’t think you’re not successful.’ Wait a minute…. Since when did the size of someone’s ring become an indication of success?!” Rachel Pederson wrote in a post on her Facebook page that his since gone viral.

When Perkins and her now husband met, she was a single mom and he was working as a window washer. The two met one night at a diner, and 13 days after they first met, the two eloped.

Pedersen’s husband had used his entire life’s savings to buy her the best engagement ring he could afford and surprised her with it before the ceremony. “My ring symbolizes a whirlwind, storybook, ‘make you sick’ love story…. It reminds me of how my husband and I met and fell at in love in one night at a Perkin’s diner.”

“He drained his savings to gift me with a small token of his love. I say small, only because it pales in comparison with how big his love is, even now, after years of marriage. That, my friends, is success to me,” Pedersen explained.

While being is new mom is incredibly challenging for the obvious reasons, one of the most difficult things is that everyone you know or meet will have an opinion on how you should be raising your child, and they won’t be afraid to tell you.

As if new moms didn’t have enough to handle, they often have to deal with people’s uncompromising views on how they feed their baby. If they don’t breastfeed their baby, they’re a failure, but if they breastfeed in public, they’re indecent. To help give new moms a judgment free feeding area, one Sydney cafe decided to open their doors to breastfeeding moms and even offer them a free cup of tea.

On their Facebook page, the cafe shared their inspiration for becoming a mother’s feeding haven after seeing another shop with this welcome sign. “This is soooo good!!! The Willows has to steal. 100% backing the breastfeeding Mummy’s!!!!”

A guinea pig might seem like an insignificant pet to most people, but for this Florida family, their pet guinea pig named Rodney is an integral part of the family.

However, Rodney’s short life nearly came to an end when the Waller family’s home was engulfed in flames. Thankfully, the Polk County Fire Department arrived at the scene quickly and Kristi Waller and her children got out of the house safely, but in their panic they left behind their beloved Rodney.

Fireman John Williams refused to leave Rodney behind, and put his own life in serious danger to rescue the family’s pet as he bravely entered the burning home.

Williams was able to save Rodney, but the guinea pig had inhaled so much smoke and needed emergency oxygen. At first, the rescue team struggled to find a suitable mask tiny enough for Rodney, but they improvised with a baby’s air mask.

“I’m so incredibly thankful for Polk County Fire Rescue for saving Rodney. They were very nice to him and myself,” Waller said. “I have the utmost respect for firefighters in the first place, but to see them care so much for something so small because of what he meant to our family was truly moving.”

Cows Have An Adorable Reaction When Exposed To Music

‘Sophisticated’ might not be the first word you think of to describe farm animals like cows who spend their days munching on grass, but it turns out we’re not the only ones in the animal kingdom who appreciate the arts.

Researchers at the University of Leicester first discovered cows’ appreciation for music back in 2001, when they found that cows who were exposed to relaxing music produced 3% more milk because the relaxing music put them in better, more relaxed moods. To see how cows would react to different instruments, three Cleveland-based musicians played the violin, guitar, and oboe for cows Kayli, Maybelle, Mike, and Maribeth.

When exposed to music, most animals show no signs of interest, but these four cows were instantly curious when they heard music from across the field, and immediately went over to investigate.

Incredibly, the cows walked right up to the fence, and even the shyest cow of the group got as close as possible. After listening to the different instruments, the cows stunned the musicians when they started swaying along and brushing their tails to the music.

This Louisiana dad got a little more than he bargained for when he was nearing the end of his day-long fishing trip. 

Lance Burgos was fishing at Fausse Pointe State Park in Martinsville with his 11-year-old daughter, when he decided to lift a stray jug line out of the water. 

To his surprise, instead of reeling in a catfish, Burgos reels in an alligator! Frightened Burgos quickly dropped the line and paddles away. 

He uploaded the video to YouTube with the caption, “That Is NOT a Catfish on the End of the Line.”

“See what I found on a noodle near our campsite. It wasn’t what I expected. Kayaking and camping at Lake Fausse Point State Park, St. Martinville, La., will never be the same,” Burgos contined. 

That’s for sure.

The 1st of the month is often payday for a lot of people, but it’s not usually a cause for celebration when that cash flies right back out the door when you have to pay hundreds or even thousands of dollars on rent.

If you have ever rented a room, apartment, or entire home, then you probably know how frustrating it can be spending your hard-earned money on a place that isn’t actually your home, even if it’s the most cost-effective option.

Sick of spending more than $1,100 per month on rent, a former British soldier decided to throw away society’s expectations for himself and create his dream home for a fraction of his former cost per living each year.

After feeling there was too much pressure on people his age to invest in a home, 25-year-old Jamie Waddington spent less than he would on one month of rent to convert a 16-year-old LDV Convoy van into his own rent-free apartment on wheels.

[Jamie Waddington/Mercury Press via DailyMail]
[Jamie Waddington/Mercury Press via DailyMail]
Spending money on little more than fuel and about $14 on groceries per week, the Leeds, England man bid farewell to his 80-hour-per-week work schedule and now helps farmers in exchange for food.

He transformed the aging van’s interior into a gorgeous rustic haven of his own, which he says is much better than a place shared with roommates.

“I could make the van exactly how I wanted it and it is better than a house-share with people I don’t get on with know well,” he told DailyMail.

Firefighters have truly seen it all, from rescuing scared kittens from trees to resuscitating tiny guinea pigs, but even this firehouse thought they were being pranked when they received a call for an emergency rescue.

For firemen, getting a call to rescue a kitten stuck in a tree isn’t all that unusual, however, getting a call to rescue a 120-pound Great Dane stuck 20 feet up a tree is. “Dispatch was like, wait a minute, you have a what in a tree?” owner Wes McGuirk said.

When Wes first got home, he couldn’t find his very large Great Dane named Kora anywhere, but while searching for her he heard a strange whimpering noise from a tree and when he looked up, he spotted Kora nearly 20 feet up the tree. “I was like, how on earth did you get up there?” Wes said. “We grabbed the ladder. I thought I could climb up there, but I could only get to the center and was like, there’s no way I’m passing that, so we called the fire department.”

The Plattsmouth Volunteer Fire Department still couldn’t believe what they were hearing but were stunned when they saw the terrified Great Dane. “We rolled in and we all looked out the driver’s side window and went yeah, there’s a dog up that tree and it’s a big one,” said Jon Hardy of the Plattsmouth Fire Department.

Kora, who was now shivering and very anxious, refused to move from her spot, so finally the firemen managed to get a harness around her and were able to lift her from her spot and catch her with a tarp. “It’s one of those that we’ll talk about down here for a long time,” Hardy said.

What’s even more interesting than the money side though is the fact, statistically speaking, that mail-order marriages usually last, and often work way better than unions in the West. This is because when it comes to the world of mail-order brides, both parties have actually done their research properly and already know each other pretty well. No bride wants to turn up in a foreign country and be met with big surprises she didn’t expect. So the due diligence goes a long way and often leads to happy long-lasting relationships.

A dog once known as “Fat Vincent” is now sporting a new physique, a new nickname, and a new leash on life.

When the amazing team at K-9 Angels Rescue of Houston, Texas first encountered a morbidly obese dachshund, they started calling him “Fat Vincent” because the 7-year-old dog’s stomach was so gigantic that it dragged on the ground when he walked.

According to the Facebook page Skinny Vinnie of K-9 Angels Rescue Houston, the dog was surrendered to him after his elderly owner who loved to feed him fast food. The Angels decided to take a chance on the 38 pound dog, in hopes to help him lose weight.

“Besides terribly high cholesterol and BMI, Vincent’s back sloped downward in the middle and our vet was fearful that one false move would cause his back to break,” Melissa Anderson of K-9 Angels Rescue told AOL.

The dog’s body weight was 60% fat, but now thanks to a healthier diet and exercise, he’s been dubbed “Skinny Vinnie”, weighing a more lean 17.5 pounds.

The lovable pooch has since become a social media star, with fans following and getting inspired by his long walks, water aerobics and journey towards health.

Strangers Help Breastfeed A Baby When Mom Was In The Hospital

While many mothers prefer to breastfeed their child over giving them formula in a bottle, there are a number of different issues that can make breastfeeding impossible, not to mention dangerous for the baby.

After months of almost exclusively breastfeeding her 11-month-old son Rio, single mother of two Ronja Wiedenbeck panicked when she was suddenly unable to feed her baby because she had gotten sick and was put on strong medications. Since Rio was not comfortable with drinking from a bottle, Ronja panicked that her son would not have food.

Desperate for help, Ronja turned to the Breastfeeding Yummy Mummies Facebook group and asked if any moms would be willing to feed her son while she was in the hospital. “I was pumped full of morphine and it seemed instinctive for someone to feed him in a way that he has been used to and he’s comfortable with,” Ronja said.

Moms instantly reached out to offer their help, and within an hour, the first mom Leigh Ann Fearn arrived to feed Rio. “So much support it’s brought me to absolute tears. I cant express how grateful I am, that this super mum was happy to feed my son when I’m currently totally unable,” Ronja wrote in a post to Facebook.

“I thought it might feel unusual because it is something special that only Rio and I had shared, but it just felt totally instinctive for another mum to help him in a way he was used to,” Ronja said.

Her post in the 13,000 member group amazingly received about 1,000 offers to help feed Rio, and ultimately five different women helped feed him until Ronja was finally released and cleared to breastfeed again.

Getting a puppy means committing yourself to years of constant care as well as always putting its needs above your own, which is what one Hawaii couple was prepared to do for their Golden Retriever pup who was meant to live for 10-12 years.

Yet when Corryn and Alex Martin brought their 3-month-old puppy named Lily in for what should have been a standard check-up, a veterinarian discovered Lily had renal dysplasia, a fatal kidney disorder. The doctor gave them two options: they could either put her down or even return her to the breeder. But the couple had a better plan.

“Euthanizing her was never an option for us. She’s like our baby, so we began forming a plan,” Corryn said. After talking with specialists and doing their research, Corryn and Alex began creating the ultimate puppy bucket list to help Lily live her short life to the fullest.

So far, the Lily has accomplished a lot on her list including enjoying time on the beach, going for an exciting boat ride, and even sipping on a Starbuck’s puppucino.

It’s been a few months since her original diagnosis, but Lily is doing better than anyone expected. “She’s surprised everyone and has maintained her numbers for now. In fact, she’s doing very well. Her energy level is good, she’s eating well, and she’s very happy,” Corryn said.

As the days go by, Lily is crossing off more and more items on the list, which now includes being trained as a therapy dog for kids getting chemotherapy and helping make them feel better for as long as she can manage.

No, these men were not trying to block aliens from reading their minds, but they may as well have been.

You see, in the world of crime, you have robbers, and then you have these robbers, who are possibly the dumbest and most pun-worthy robbers I’ve ever heard of.

That’s because these two guys wrapped themselves up in aluminum foil and then went to rob a bank. It sounds like the setup of a Seth Rogan movie, but the shiny thugs weren’t that far out in their feats. These guys were trying to prevent themselves from setting off the security alarms, which are triggered by body heat.

And for all the planning that went into this heist (which was probably planned in the Tupperware aisle earlier that day), these guys forgot to take into account the police. Yes, there were security cameras capturing the whole thing and sending the feed to an off-site location where security immediately saw the crime being carried out.

So while these robbers crawled around on the floor in aluminum foil, the cops were already in the car, laughing their whole way there.

You can watch the report in the video below and be sure to SHARE with somebody who could use a hearty laugh:
