wholesome

These wholesome pure feels pull on the heart strings. This guy's story starts in on when he lost his parents as a 10-year-old, to a nasty drunk driver. From there, he was taken in by his uncle, and grew up battling a terrible sadness. 

Fast forward to when he's 22-years-old, and still hasn't had a relationship with his girl, until his uncle takes him to a sandwich shop after he loses his job; and ends up meeting the love of his life in a chance encounter. His uncle plays quite the wingman, and even calls the girl on his behalf to get things in motion. This is one of those stories that you read nervously, with hope that nothing goes south, and amazingly...nothing does!

Chella Phillips, a resident of the Bahamas, manager of a dog refuge, and self-advertised "crazy dog lady" has taken in nearly a hundred stray dogs in order to protect them from the looming Hurricane Dorian. It's staggering seeing so many dogs in one place, and it's obvious the situation is a complex one, but with the alternative being leaving the dogs out in the storm to fend for themselves, this is a pretty impressive undertaking. In the lighter world of taking in stray animals, we've got a craigslist fail here of a sorely mistaken animal lover who thinks they've adopted a stray cat.

Not exactly sure what inspires a dog to climb onto a larger dog, but we like this. We like this a lot. Yeah, this is nice. It's sad Frank can't get in on some of this, but he's good in his own right.

If this adorable story of two neighbor cats falling in love across the street isn't the most wholesome thing of all time, then I don't know what is. Oh, and this is definitely a better love story than Twilight. No question about that. 

When this guy got looped into a baby birthing that he wasn't a part of, he still went down to see the new baby. Because why not? It makes you feel good to see random strangers making connections, especially with good humor involved, like this understanding customer who got a messed up pizza order.

Zookeepers have strange and interesting jobs compared to what most of us do all day, so seeing them imitate animals makes us excited but also virulently jealous. Zookeepers at the Minnesota Zoo took photos of themselves as the animals they work with, and it makes us want to look for a job openings at the zoo. Our favorite is the millipede.

A young woman tweeted out a wonderful, wholesome little encounter she had with another customer at Starbucks. Sounds like the guy was with his wife and having a great day, and his day got even better when he proceeded to hold hands with a couple strangers and score a free drink in the process. A solid example of turning an awkward situation into a great day. 

That's a completely huge mistake that would probably put most people in a buttload of stress, but I guess if you can afford to lose a grand and not be bothered to get it back, then good for the pizza girl? If her job is anything like this pizza delivery woman's, then she deserves it.

That's some good stuff. When Deborah Price asked twitter for help finding a dress, people responded. Sometimes it's good to have a wholesome reminder of people's goodness.
