Let’s take a look at some Feel Good Friday stories today…
1. A guy in Texas immediately proposed to his girlfriend after finding her engagement ring in tornado rubble. Their house was destroyed, so he told her about the ring. And an entire junior college softball team showed up to help look. One of them found it under two inches of dirt, and he got down on one knee. His girlfriend has been waiting SEVEN YEARS for him to propose, and joked that it was “about [effing] time.” He thanked the softball team and joked that, quote, “When you tell 20 girls someone is going to get engaged if they find a ring, they are going to find it.” (Here’s a video.)
2. A couple from Minnesota just celebrated their 10th anniversary with a road trip . . . stopped at Crater of Diamonds State Park in Arkansas . . . and found a 1.9-carat diamond in the dirt.
3. A 10-year-old cat in Pennsylvania named Q-Tip went missing in November of 2020, and just showed back up two years later. The owner says she just walked in the door like nothing happened.
4. A couple in northern Canada noticed that one hummingbird in their yard hadn’t flown south for the winter, and they knew it wouldn’t survive. So they managed to trap it, and drove it 500 miles south before setting it free.
5. A kid fell from the second floor of a building in China last week. And a random guy out shopping ran in to save the day. It wasn’t a clean catch, but he broke the kid’s fall, so they weren’t seriously hurt. The guy did suffer some injuries to his hand, but the kid’s okay. (Here’s the video.)
6. 16 dolphins got stranded on a beach in Nova Scotia, Canada last Friday. But people in the area heard about it on social media . . . rushed in with shovels, tarps, and sleds . . . and saved all 16 of them. One report said over a hundred people showed up. Even high school students and kids were there helping out.
7. America’s largest no-kill shelter just opened in Alabama. It’s built on a 100-acre property where greyhounds used to be trained to race. The owners say they’ll be able to save about 5,000 dogs every year.
8. Two identical twin brothers from England ran seven marathons in seven days for a good cause. One survived a fire last year and had PTSD. So they did it to raise awareness about mental health. They flew to New York and ran the first six on their own. Then they finished with the New York Marathon this past Sunday.
9. A couple who’ve been together 15 years just got married in South Carolina last month. Now a video from the ceremony is going viral, because of how the bride teased the guy for taking so long to propose. She pulled out the vows she’d written on a piece of paper. . . and blew the dust off them. It got a huge laugh. Even he cracked up. (Here’s the video.)
10. A Michigan man who lives in assisted living lost his emotional support dog last month and didn’t think he’d ever see him again. But someone just found the dog two weeks later, so they were reunited. And on the very same day, the guy also found out the donor kidney he got earlier this year is working great.
11. Late last month, a jogger near Atlanta collapsed on a trail and didn’t have a pulse. But other joggers found him and did CPR until a cop got there and took over. The cop kept doing CPR for another 10 minutes until paramedics got there and took over. And seconds later, the guy woke up and asked what happened. The cops posted about it on Facebook. It sounds like he’ll be okay.
12. A small town in England named Woodcroft raised half-a-million pounds to save its only pub, called The Rising Sun. They spent a decade trying to stop developers from turning it into apartments. It just reopened on Saturday. (Here’s a photo.)
