I just got the news my dear friend Olivia Hussey passed away.
An amazing actress and purveyor of joy. One of the most beautiful souls that ever was.
If there is an afterlife, may she be greeted by all the animals she helped save on this earth.
The first time I saw Kris performing at the Troubadour club in L.A. I knew he was something special. Barefoot and strumming his guitar, he seemed like the perfect choice for a script I was developing, which eventually became A Star Is Born.
In the movie, Kris and I sang the song I’d written for the film’s main love theme, “Evergreen."
For my latest concert in 2019 at London’s Hyde Park, I asked Kris to join me on-stage to sing our other A Star Is Born duet, “Lost Inside Of You.” He was as charming as ever, and the audience showered him with applause. It was a joy seeing him receive the recognition and love he so richly deserved.
My thoughts go to Kris’ wife, Lisa who I know supported him in every way possible.
Historic Photo, 1935
Last photo of Hachiko, the faithful dog who waited for over 9 years outside Shibuya Station for his master to return even after he perished.
Hachiko became famous for waiting patiently for his owner, Professor Hidesaburo Ueno, outside Shibuya Train Station in Tokyo, every day, even after Ueno's death in 1925. For nearly a decade, Hachiko returned to the same spot day after day, waiting for his beloved master to return.
He became a symbol of unwavering loyalty and unconditional love ...
This final photograph captures the serenity and dignity of a dog who never gave up hope, even in the final moments of his life ...
A coffee shop in Singapore invented the "Sweet Little Rain."
This coffee or tea is served with a puff of cotton candy.
The steam from the coffee rises to dissolve the cotton candy, and the puff begins to "rain" onto the coffee cup.
George, the brave Jack Russell Terrier who saved five children from a vicious attack by two pit bulls in Manaia, New Zealand.
Despite being much smaller than the attacking dogs, George courageously defended the children, barking and rushing at the pit bulls to protect them. He was so severely mauled in the fight that a veterinarian had to put him down due to the extent of his injuries.
George's bravery didn't go unnoticed. The New Zealand Society for the Protection of Animals awarded him a bravery medal, and he was also awarded the PDSA Gold Medal by the People’s Dispensary for Sick Animals.
This medal is considered the animal equivalent of the George Cross, a testament to George's extraordinary act of bravery.
They also erected this monument.
