Good News: Lost Dogs, Old Med Students, and a 90-Year-Old Who Needed Help with Rent

Here are a few more Good News stories making the rounds . . .

1.  A guy canoeing his way across Canada found a lost dog stuck in the mud on a riverbank last month.  So he scooped her up, tracked down her owner, and got her back home.  (Here’s a video.)

2.  It’s never too late to make a change:  A woman in England who dropped out of school at 15 just became a doctor at age 41.  Quote, “I really believe that if your heart is in it, you can 100% do the crazy things you’ve always dreamed of.”

3.  A 90-year-old Air Force vet named Donald recently walked into a pawn shop in Manchester, New Hampshire, hoping to sell some jewelry.  His wife has dementia, and their landlord just upped their rent.

But he’ll never have to worry about making rent again after an employee named Janelle Marie launched a GoFundMe campaign.

She posted a video after surprising him with the first $1,300, and just that amount floored him.  He’ll be 91 on August 25th, so she told him it was an early birthday present from her and around 25 friends.  (Here’s the video.)

But since that first video, she’s raised a LOT more.  Last we checked, it was up over $375,000.  (!!!)

(Here’s a video from this weekend after it topped 250 grand, plus an audio message from him calling it “the most wonderful thing that’s ever happened.”)
