She Fostered a Great Dane for Just One Week... Then He Saved Her Daughter ❤️

Odin, a 150-pound (68 kg) Great Dane, had been returned by three different families before he was even 18 months old. They all gave similar reasons: he was "too big," "too energetic," or they simply gave up on him.

Sophie, a 29-year-old single mother raising her young daughter, Rosie, agreed to foster Odin for just one week.

The first few days were a bit chaotic because of Odin's enormous size. But the moment he met Rosie, he became incredibly gentle. He walked carefully around her, happily let her hug him and brush his coat, and soon became her best friend. Every night, Odin slept outside Rosie's bedroom door, keeping watch over her.

Seven months later, after Sophie had officially adopted him, she was awakened at 2:47 a.m. by a deep, unusual growl. Odin was standing perfectly still, staring at the sliding glass door. Someone was trying to break into the house.

Calmly, Odin walked over and positioned himself directly in front of the door, letting out a powerful warning growl. The intruder took one look at the giant Great Dane and fled immediately. When the police arrived, they confirmed that several homes in the neighborhood had been targeted that night, but Sophie's family had remained safe.

To this day, Odin still sleeps outside Rosie's bedroom every night. The dog who had once been considered "too much" became the family's most loyal and devoted protector. ❤️

Not all heroes wear capes.

Turkish tennis player Zeynep Sönmez, a national tennis player, stopped play to assist a ball girl after she was struck by the ball during a match on January 18.

She grabbed her by the waist, held on tight and didn't let go.

I'm not a pilot but I have to imagine that you have to be an absolute BADASS to skim the water in what is basically a flying tank, over and over all day long, and do it with the accuracy it takes to scoop up 1,000+ gallons of water and not have an accident.

My hat is off to these pilots!!

Imagine if instead of spending 15.9 billion dollars on one election (this years projected spending on politics) we,
The people of the USA spent that money on fixing roads, bridges and schools… imagine that for a minute

I was booked on United Flight 93 on 9/11, 2001, flying nonstop from Newark NJ to San Francisco CA. Around midnight the night before, a coworker called me urging me to change my flight to fly into San Jose instead. This meant I had move to a flight that boarded 20 minutes later (from the same gate) with a stopover in Denver. I was very reluctant to do it but I did.

When I got to the airport, I watched people boarding flight 93 and I was upset that I was not leaving earlier, in my 1st class seat on a direct flight. I didn’t notice or care about the people as they were boarding, only myself.

When I finally boarded my plane, we were 7 planes behind flight 93. When we were 3 planes away from we taking off, the pilot told us to look out the right side of the plane because it appeared the Twin Towers had been hit by a plane. I thought it might have been a small Cessna until I saw the second plane strike the other tower. We were grounded just before taking off.

I changed that day. I now take every opportunity I have to watch and if possible, get to know the people I’m boarding a plane with. I never hesitate to give up my seat for a later flight if requested. I’ve had two children since 9/11 and went to multiple mission trips to war torn countries. Every day I wake up breathing is another gift from God.

Never forget 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

That’s sarcasm of

Another example of a good person not from this country but in this country to make himself better and all of us in USA a little better along the way

The Bands of HM Royal Marines performing a song by Dire Straits, Brothers In Arms, live at Mountbatten Festival of Music 2022, in the Royal Albert Hall, London.

Arranged by Capt Phil Trudgeon RM, the song was performed with an amazing orchestra and beautiful vocals.

Thank you for this beautiful arrangement and organization. @RMBandService

2004 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame night can be one of the best of its history since there's never been a performance like this one.

Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, Steve Winwood, Dhani Harrison, and the legendary Prince performing "While My Guitar Gently Weeps".

There are many solos performed live but this one, this one is such an undefinable. For this reason, I'll leave the best comment for this live performance made by a user.

"Watching Prince re-arrange the molecular structure of the universe with his guitar never gets old"

That's it, that's the performance.

How cool is this? Instead of having to be caged while their dog families are working a doggy daycare can pick them up 🐾
