This is Kelsey, a 5-year old Golden Retriever.
On New Year's Eve, Kelsey's owner Bob went outside to collect some fire logs, but he fell on the ice and broke his neck. He was paralyzed and nobody could hear him, but Kelsey came running immediately.
When Kelsey realized he couldn't move, she spread herself out across his body to keep him warm. She stayed there for 20 hours, in frigid temperatures, and kept licking his face to ensure he didn't lose consciousness. She kept barking for help the entire time.
When doctors eventually found Bob, they rushed him to hospital with hypothermia, atrial fibrillation, and two herniated discs which were causing his paralysis. Amazingly, he had no frostbite. Doctors say it's because Kelsey kept him warm the entire time.
Kelsey is a good girl.

Just so we are all clear based on the data from the referendum Australiaโs Indigenous & First Nation people overwhelmingly wanted the Voice.
Recognition in our Constitution & and an advisory committee. That was all.
And we couldnโt even do that.

every so often it hits me just how modest the referendum ask is.
all we are being asked is whether to recognise our first peoples and give them a voice that canโt be taken away.
so simple.
itโs so easy to say yesโฆ and so heartbreaking if we say no.
#VoteYes
Hate re-sharing this stuff but people have been talking about this for ages (and for hundreds of years before I was born).
When I was 15 I explained why I support the Voice, on Saturday I'm going to vote for it.
Join me in building a better future for this country. Vote Yes.
"Our voice is the most powerful tool we have, but it is only powerful if someone is there to listen."
On October 14, vote Yes to giving future generations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people a voice in the policies and decisions that affect Indigenous communities.
Evonne Goolagong Cawley: "I believe in the simple goodness of every Australian heart. In particular I say to Australians from my generation... stand with me now to help Australia grab this great opportunity.
Youโve cheered for me. Now, please, vote with me: vote Yes."
Speaking to my mum last night. Sheโs 83. This is her certificate of citizenship. She scrubbed floors and worked stations for no wage: just room and board. All for a better life for us kids
She walks around the Pilbara with her Yes shirt. Not one of her non Indigenous โfriendsโ are voting yes. When they ask her why-she says this:
โOur entire lives all we have heard is โnoโ
Before I die; I want to hear Yes.
It means that much-and I cannot argue with that โค๏ธ๐ค๐
