"My son Ryan was 24. He came home from Afghanistan in a flag-draped coffin on a Tuesday. Max was his dog. Ryan trained him from a puppy. They were inseparable for four years. We couldn't tell Max. I don't know how you tell a dog. I don't know if you can. All I know is that Max lay against Ryan's bedroom door every single night for eleven days. Not inside the room. Against the door. Like he was keeping it for him. Like he was making sure nobody closed it all the way."

On the twelfth day I sat down on the hallway floor beside him.

I don't know why the twelfth day.

I had walked past him eleven times.

The twelfth time my legs just stopped.

I sat down on the floor and I put my hand on his back and I said Ryan's name out loud for the first time since the men in dress uniforms

came to my door.

Max lifted his head.

He looked at me.

He put his head in my lap.

We sat there on the hallway floor for a long time.

Neither of us went into the room.

Neither of us was ready.

Maybe neither of us will ever be ready.

That's okay.

The door is still not closed all the way.

Some people you just keep a place for.

Ryan.

Max is still at your door.

He's going to be at your door.

We both are.

Drop a ❤️ for Ryan.

Share this for every Gold Star family tonight.

You are not carrying this alone.

Horses are forced to work past exhaustion, sometimes until they collapse 💔

This Wednesday, July 15, the New York City Council Health Committee will hold the official public hearing on legislation that would ban horse-drawn carriages in NYC.

This is a critical opportunity to help end New York's cruel and deadly industry, and we're closer than ever to making it happen!

We need YOUR help! Take action TODAY and urge @NYCMayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani to support a ban on horse-drawn carriages.

Raise your hand if you think there should be a lasting memorial for Ann Widdecombe

It’s what she deserves

RIP Ann 🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️

A fitting legacy to Anne Widdecombe a savage attack in Parliament on the cruelty of hunting with hounds. We could do with more of this passion & anger against animal cruelty in Parliament today

Mike Tindall has been the uncle Prince George has needed these last five years.

I'm grateful George has had Mike, Peter Philips and James Middleton's support during Princess Catherine’s cancer treatment and harassment.

The young Prince is surrounded by love and strong positive male role models.

He has all the uncles he needs 🥺💙

If you liked After Life I really think you might like Alley Cats too. At least give it a watch. On Netflix from 7th August ❤️

Trying my best not to think of what her final moments must’ve been like as it’s far too upsetting. Let’s remember her as she was. Here’s an enhanced image of Ann whilst at the Oxford Union that she had on the wall in her home. A truly marvellous woman.

A mother dog was thrown from an old bridge inside a plastic storage bin with the lid zip-tied shut. As the container slowly sank into the icy river, a nearby kayaker noticed it bobbing strangely and rushed over.

When he cut the lid open, he found an incredible sight. The exhausted mother was standing in freezing water, using her own body to keep her four tiny puppies balanced on the only dry corner left inside the bin. Her paws were bleeding, her teeth worn from desperately trying to chew through the plastic—but she never gave up.

The kayaker rescued the entire family just minutes before the container disappeared beneath the water. Vets later said the puppies survived because their mother sacrificed everything to keep them above the rising water.

Deeply moved by her courage, the kayaker adopted them all. Today, the brave mother, now named Willow, lives safely with her puppies—a reminder that a mother's love will fight until the very last second. ❤️

Devastated to learn of the sad passing of national treasure Ann Widdecombe. I had the pleasure of meeting and interviewing Ann countless times - she was a deeply principled, honourable & tremendously fun person. She had an unshakable faith in God, and I hope she is with Him now.

Prince William at the DMMI Royal Charity Polo Cup this afternoon! 🐎

I’m thinking about William today.

Seeing haz, Meg, and Chris Ship drag his mum’s name through a never ending ‘will they, won’t they’ debacle- all for publicity and money must be bloody awful for him.

William has always treated his mum with unyielding dignity and love.

Very sad.

Well done Australia 🇦🇺.

Animals should not suffer for human entertainment. People should not force them to perform just to amuse a crowd.
Australia has officially ended the use of animals in circuses. This decision draws a clear line against making living beings perform for human enjoyment.

For years, circuses kept animals in small enclosures, moved them from place to place, and trained them to do unnatural tricks. Many experienced serious physical and emotional harm. Australia has now said this treatment is unacceptable.
Circuses can still operate ~ without animals.

This is real progress for animal lovers everywhere. Respect starts when we stop using animals as entertainment and recognize their value as living beings.
