Why can't most of the human race be more like this.

What drives us? I don't live in some fairy world where the good always win.
I work for a living check to check with a disabled wife.
So yeah I am pretty damn proud of knowimg what reality looks like.

it is uplifting to see there is some good deeds even if by a dog.

what a bleak existence. the corporate masters have won.

Claiming to know what reality is demonstrates a very closed mind. Unwilling to accept challenges to your perception of "reality".

I'm truly sorry for your troubles and don't diminish them one bit. But terrible things are everywhere and we help one another by cutting the pain with a little sweetness. If you won't let yourself enjoy something or if it just ain't your cuppa, don't pee in everyone else's pool, please.

there's no joy in your life, no room for it and I believe it may be because you are severely stressed - please try to get some help

Because I am not moved to tears, by some stray dog?
Wishing the people would wake up and see that they are slaves to corporate masters?
Yeah that will happen..
lol

Dude---seek help.

just because the corporate masters have taken your humanity DOES NOT MEAN that is the way to go. You better wake up and find a conscience or in my book, you're no better than those corporate masters YOU ALLOWED to kill your conscience. You wake up.

...you saw fit to post an inane 4chan meme telling us all about your indifference. that's not only ironic, it's dickish. You trolled the thread, got some shit for it, and are pretending that's not precisely what you were looking for?

Yeah, right...

and you said it well, LP!

Andy why did you feel the need to comment?

I highly recommend it.

Humans are probably more like this than not. But it is so common, that we tend to only pay attention to those that aren't.

Anthropologists will point out that there have been fossil remains found of our ancestors which show people that have recovered from obviously serious injuries. Injuries so serious that someone must have fed and cared for them while they healed. It is probably how we survived and thrived.

And I will say, I often experience people stopping to attempt to help me when I appeared to need some help. I have numerous stories of acts of kindness by strangers. Don't let the bastards fool you. THEY are in the minority.

Coffee in hand, cutest dog & kitten, and DU. What else does one need this morning.

I once knew a small dog who adopted a stray cat I was feeding. The owner adopted the cat since the dog had.

Thanks!

Not every doggie, but an awful lot of them.

a home together. This is just amazing. We all have troubles and a lot of us wish life were different but a story like this can touch even the hardest heart.

then why is it so hard for us advanced humans to do?

Thank you for this beautiful story about love, pure and simple.

but we should not confuse instinct with altruism.

than yourself? I would think it would be completely opposite.

There are lots of situations with female dogs caring for entire litters of cats along with their own offspring. I've seen stories where cats take care of puppies. It's the 'motherly' instinct.

Okay, yeah that does make sense.

Kind of why I don't kick every puppy I come across.

I needed something positive

They sort of look alike, yes?

there are even more pics with the article

of course i cried

Very Cute!!!

Glad to share the planet and my home with them.

Indeed.

Definitely uplifts one's soul.

after watching tonight's news.

Rick Santorum was right now dogs are going to want to marry cats ; )

They even kind of have matching fur.

and that is a word I never use. I'm gettin' all misty here, Dobie.

Good girl! So glad to see that they were adopted together and I hope they have long, happy lives in their forever home.

Fluttershy very much approves!

Nothing to learn here.

Good dog. Lucky, the both of them.

in a field and brought him to his owners. We loved Buster for 13 years until he died of diabetes. I had given him insulin shots for 2-1/2 years every twelve hours.

Beautiful critters!
