Here are some Feel Good Friday stories for this week…
1. Michigan police and firefighters responded to the Detroit River to rescue a dog that was stranded on a floating piece of ice. The dog, named Lucy, had escaped from her owners’ home, and they’d called police soon after. Lucy was stranded on a piece of ice two feet from shore, so a rescuer in specialist gear went partially into the water on a ladder to reach her with a catch pole. Thankfully, Lucy was unharmed and healthy, and she was reunited with her owners. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=4761605217285102
2. A woman in Tampa recently told her grandfather she was pregnant by giving him a coffee mug that said “You put the GREAT in Grandpa.” And the funny part was, he didn’t get it. His family had to tell him what it meant . . . THEN he freaked out.
3. A 22-year-old deli worker in Australia is going viral after she learned basic sign language to communicate with two regulars who are deaf. She says she only learned a few phrases on YouTube to start, but now plans to keep going until she’s fluent.
4. Coors Light is ditching those plastic rings on six-packs, and transitioning to cardboard packaging that’s more sustainable. They plan to do the same for the rest of their brands by 2025, including Blue Moon and Miller Lite.
5. An 81-year-old guy in Florida lost control of his electric wheelchair last month, and fell into a lake. But his dog wouldn’t stop barking until it got someone’s attention, and saved his life. He says he made sure to give her an extra treat when they got home.
6. A guy in California recently fell off his boat near Santa Barbara at night, and was too far from shore to swim. So he thought he might die, and almost gave up. But then a seal showed up and kept nudging him. So he felt like he wasn’t alone anymore. He swam for FIVE HOURS until he got to an oil platform and workers pulled him out. He had hypothermia, but survived. He says the seal saved his life.
7. A Ukrainian woman who owns and operates a bakery in San Antonio promised to donate all the money she brought in last weekend to help people in her home country. And in three days, she raised over $72,000.
8. A guy in Kentucky was leaving a store last weekend when he found 10 bucks in his jacket pocket. So he went back in . . . bought a lottery ticket . . . and won 250 GRAND.
