Calaya gave birth to her son all by herself in her enclosure. The video below captures the true love of a mother when Calaya pulls her baby out of her womb and hugs and kisses him. 

This “humanlike” love Calaya showed toward her baby has won the hearts of millions of people who’ve watched this video. We humans share 98% of our DNA with gorillas, and it’s no more clearer than in this video which shows a mother’s love for her newborn. Gorillas are truly magnificent creatures, and we must do everything to ensure that they not only survive, but also thrive!

She hears the call for help, and those motherly instincts kick in. But when she enters the pen, the little one still can’t quite place where she is. 

The Golden mama notices this and gets up and moves away from the rest of the litter to let the lone lost pup know exactly where she is. Moms know best!

Instead of going on their typical walk, 12-year-old Andrei took his dog, Pufi, outside for a different reason! And thankfully, someone caught it on video! The little boy can be seen carefully readying his pooch for a nice sled ride. 

And the dog does a great job of balancing himself and seems to enjoy the activity all while keeping his paws dry!

    The adorable video soon went viral, and a local community group was able to locate the boy and gift him a brand new bicycle to help with their future sledding escapades! How sweet is that? 🙂

Another cop responded to the call and arrived on scene. She walked over to the goose and saw it: a baby goose tangled in string from a balloon. It was one of the most incredible moments they’ve ever experienced and something they wouldn’t soon forget. 

Watch the incredible footage below:

In the video, the animal pauses in his nightly foraging and has an almost human reaction to the falling snow. The raccoon paws at the sky, trying to catch the snowflakes. The raccoon is mesmerized by the flakes falling from the sky and is determined to catch them so he gets up on his hind legs and reaches as high as he can! 

“He started pawing at the sky,” Ellis fondly shared. “When I realized he was actually chasing snowflakes, my main thought was that I definitely needed to save this video, because I knew other people would enjoy seeing it. It’s definitely not something you see every day.” 

Raccoons are some of the most incredible creatures on earth. They have the ability to climb trees and live in them, they will eat almost anything that crosses their path, and they can be quite nosy when it comes to human activity. Raccoons are nocturnal animals. They are omnivores and can eat nearly any kind of food, from meat to plants. They are also known for their intelligence: they can be taught to perform simple tasks in order to obtain food rewards. To be honest, they’re incredibly easy to adore! 

Because raccoons are generally afraid of humans, it’s rare that you’ll see one outside its natural habitat during the day, which makes the clip even more entertaining! This raccoon will never forget its first time seeing snow, it seems. It’s so adorable that we almost want to go back in time and grab one for ourselves

Got your attention? Good… because the story I’m about to tell you is worthy of just that! As per reports, an extraordinary bond played out between a young boy and a gigantic manta ray some years ago on the shores of Vueltas, located in La Gomera, in the Canary Island. 

The area in question is said to be a haven for marine life, including massive rays and colorful fish that can thrive in its waters and often swim close to the harbor. One particular local wharf became the scene of the most unlikely of friendships, thanks in no small part to the old tradition of fishermen throwing their bycatch into the sea at day’s end. The result was a large number of rays regularly coming closer to the shore than they might otherwise have. And it was this strange-to-the-outside-eye phenomenon that facilitated the meeting of a local boy, Joel, and an especially large manta ray. 

Incredible footage shows the ray swimming right up to a set of stone steps to eat catch from Joel’s hand! We’re not joking. As per reports, the ray in question used to frequent the harbor every morning for a chance to feed from Joel’s palm. Joel, meanwhile, developed a special way of attracting his friend’s attention. And when the ray surfaced, the boy would pat his head, unafraid of this deep-sea diver from a watery world. 

The video of Joel and his manta ray friend was taken posted on YouTube in 2013. At the time of writing, it has acquired some 59 million views!

The Clydesdales ended up getting together and chasing the dog down to reunite in the end. But then social distancing put a barrier between them once again. That’s where their new commercial, “Reunited With Buds,” comes into play.

Cena was way more than just a dog to the veteran, and he felt it was only right to say goodbye with the utmost respect. 

The cancer-stricken dog retired in 2014 as a bomb-sniffer for the Marines and then became a service dog for Lance Cpl. Jeff DeYoung.

R.J.’s curiosity ended up saving the life of an innocent puppy, who had been abused before winding up in the trash bin. If R.J. hadn’t been so observant, the puppy could’ve gone unnoticed for too long. But now, the pup is living his best life despite his rough past. Puppy Trapped in Dumpster R.J. suspected something was wrong when he heard a knocking sound inside the dumpster. When he peeked inside, he found a moving backpack, but it wasn’t making any sounds. 

So, he cautiously opened it, and he locked eyes with the sweetest puppy. “I opened it up and the dog literally like slowly lifted its head and looked up, and I didn’t even know what to say. I just about started crying there,” said R.J. Luckily, the puppy was thrown in the dumpster after trash pickup, so R.J. found him at the perfect time. The dog was zipped up inside the hot backpack with nothing to eat or drink. R.J. decided to name the puppy Midas because he said the dog needed a name to be taken to the vet. 

At the vet, the staff confirmed that Midas has many signs of abuse. He has a fractured jaw and a bacterial infection in his lungs, but he’s currently being treated for both. Worst Day Turns Into Best Day 

After taking him to the vet, R.J. knew he couldn’t part ways with the puppy. He’s planning to adopt him if all goes well. However, he said if Midas ends up being stolen and has a kind owner out there, he will give him up. But he’ll need some solid proof first. The Shakopee Police Department is using this story to remind dog parents not to abandon their dogs like this. There are plenty of more humane options for rehoming a dog, such as taking them to a shelter or rescue. 

“Though this story had a happy ending, it could have gone a lot differently. If you’re a pet owner who needs to surrender an animal, we encourage you to do it humanely. With social media and the internet at our fingertips, there is no shortage of options for finding a person willing to rehome your pet. Please be kind to our animal friends!” the police department wrote. 

The only things in the backpack besides Midas were a fake grill and some plastic bags. So, it’s unclear who abandoned him and why, but what’s most important is that he’s safe now. He started his day in a dumpster but ended it with a loving family to care for him. It’s the best outcome possible!

Single mom Courtney Potts was driving with her two young kids in the car when she blew a tire. She pulled over on the side of a dangerous curve in the road and a gray pick-up truck pulled up behind her. 

The voice belonged to none other than Luke Bryan, who owns land in the area. He and sons Bo and Tate were on a hunting trip when they came across the stranded family. Without missing a beat, Luke helped Courtney find her spare tire and then ran back to his own truck to fetch a working jack. 

Then, the superstar lay right down on the pavement to change the tire, muttering about how he would make his sons help if it weren’t such a dangerous section of roadway. 

“He’s just a humble guy,” said Courtney, adding that the singer “went into dad mode” and seemed genuinely concerned for their safety. It took him about 30 minutes to swap out the tires, and afterward he even posed for a picture. Courtney was already a fan before this happened; now, she’s a super-fan for life! 

Watch the video Courtney shared on TikTok below, and don’t forget to share.

Ludivine, a 2 years old Bloodhound was out for a pee when she spotted all those guys running. And since there wasn’t any rule to say that only humans re allowed to participate, the quick thinker pup joined the marathon. 

Surprisingly, that wasn’t all as the doggy not just finished the run, but she even got a medal. The adorable dog who finished seventh in the race, even had some pit stops!

She finished in just over an hour-and-a-half. Her owner April Hamlin, later explained. “All I did was open the door, and she ran the race on her own accord,” the surprised woman said. “My first reaction was that I was embarrassed and worried that she had possibly gotten in the way of the other runners. She’s laid back and friendly, so I can’t believe she ran the whole half marathon because she’s actually really lazy.” 

Jim Clemens, who finished fourth in the half marathon said: “Every time I thought she had dropped off to go back home, I would hear her coming back up to me and she would race past me up to the two leaders. She would run off to romp through the streams and into yards to sniff around for a while.” After the week I’ve had, I so needed this story!

He thought he might give the 16-year-old dog a happy final few days or weeks, but he got more than he bargained for from Henry! 🙂 The dog seemed to be at the end, but the very next morning he had a new pep in his step! They then scheduled to get the cancer removed, and Henry started running and galloping around the yard every day. 

Months later, the boy was doing better than ever and adoption applications were rolling in. It was time for that next chapter, and he’d be surrounded by love for the rest of his life!
