When this tiny Schnauzer’s human was gone for a few days, he was lost. Then, she finally returned after the short trip…and, judging by this little pooch’s reaction, he thought she was gone for good!
This puppy is overwhelmed by so many good feels!
Alzheimer’s disease is a terrible condition that steals away loved ones from us by destroying their minds. Over the years, they begin to forget who they are and who is around them. Although the mind may forget, the heart never does, and this touching story proves just that. Three years ago, Melvyn Amrine was diagnosed with the disease. Ever since then, he has faded away and his wife Doris lovingly took care of him. They had been married for 60 years. When he suddenly went missing, Doris was in a panic.
(H/T Daily Mail) Every year since the birth of their first child, Melvyn had bought his wife a large bouquet of flowers. In a moment of clarity, he realized what day it was going to be soon and went out to bring them home to her. Even though he cannot remember when he proposed to Doris or how, he knows that he loves her very much and wanted to show her that (even if he needed some help). This is the kind of story that breaks your heart – and warms it – all at once. Share it.

Last summer Matthew Cordle drove drunk the wrong way on a highway in Ohio, killing another driver. With the help of a charismatic, entrepreneurial do-gooder, Cordle admitted his guilt in a YouTube video that 2.6 million people watched — but where is the line between personal contrition and public spectacle? Read it at BuzzFeed.
Rosie Gray looks inside the Kremlin-funded media outlet Russia Today in the wake of two high-profile departures, including an anchor who resigned on-air. “The public shake-up and skewed coverage of Ukraine has pulled aside RT’s curtain, exposing the network’s propaganda apparatus, which relies on a number of Western reporters and producers.” Read it at BuzzFeed.
Andrew Solomon interviews Adam Lanza’s father, Peter. “Since the shootings, Peter has avoided the press, but in September, as the first anniversary of his son’s rampage approached, he contacted me to say that he was ready to tell his story.” Read it at the New Yorker.
A must-read investigation by Dan Barry into a group of disabled men who for decades suffered abuse and underpay while working at an Iowan turkey processing plant — and how they finally got justice. “The verdict conveyed the communal outrage felt about a case that, in courtrooms and the halls of government, has become shorthand for the segregation and exploitation of people with disabilities.” Read it at The New York Times.
Willa Paskin profiles the actress, who plays Peggy Olson on Mad Men, which is approaching its final season. “TV has many ambitious women, but Peggy stands out among them for navigating a working world — with glass ceilings, boys’ clubs, and take-me-seriously work clothes — that feels, despite its period detail, remarkably contemporary.” Read it at New York.
In March 2012, a human rights organization’s documentary about a central African despot became the most viral video of all time, and the ensuing furor resulted in its leader’s bizarre public meltdown. On the second anniversary of the phenomenon, Jessica Testa explains, everyone involved is still figuring out what it all means. Read it at BuzzFeed.
