I don't normally post these kinds of stories but the look on the dog's happy face should make us all smile today and believe again in people. Have a wonderful day everyone.

What an incredible story! That smile is incredible and that good boy would have had so many pats once he was cleaned up and fed. Have you read any other positive news stories lately @Bunniekins?

@Ali11 Hi Ali11 I haven't read anything in the news which is quite as inspiring and feel good as this one. I agree the smile on the dog's face is priceless 😄

@Ali11 Just looked over at ABC's news website and found this story about the New Zealand's Kakapo apparently these gorgeous birds are really endangered however with the longer breeding season conditions this year they have had more babies born! All of which is wonderful news.:)

Those are some beautiful birds @Bunniekins, and excellent news that they had a great breeding season! Did you know that the ABC News website has a whole section dedicated to good news?
