Dog Mom Adopts Kitten, Raises Adorable ‘Puppy’!
We live in a pretty crazy world, so it is always nice to know when something genuinely sweet happens. If you love cats and dogs then boy oh boy do we have the story for you. Meet Nala, a runt of a kitten that was abandoned by her family in a dirty alley. With few prospects for survival ahead of her, Nala surely seemed to be on the verge of being lost. This is when a kindly neighbor came into the picture in order to save Nala, but that isn’t where this story really gets exciting! According to the Spokane County Regional Animal Protection Services (SCRAPS), located in Spokane, WA, this story was JUST getting started.
Nala was adopted long before she had ever truly come to know her mother. Despite lacking a family, Nala would end up with a pair of mothers before she could even really open her eyes. After being saved from the dirty alley, Nala was brought to a foster family in order to see if she would survive and flourish. Nala was brought in by the Myer family, and they were more than excited to see how she blended in with the rest of their own pets. While Nala lagged behind the other kittens, she soon found love from an unusual source — a dog named Izzy.
Izzy was a beautiful black-and-white mama with a litter of puppies to take care of. Despite her own motherly duties, Izzy was more than ready to welcome Nala into her pack. Izzy fell in love with little Nala and soon became apparent that the feeling was mutual. Despite routinely falling behind the other kittens in their developmental phases, Nala was soon comfortable sleeping directly on Izzy’s large paws while the dog nursed her own litter. In fact, Izzy kept trying to put Nala with the rest of the puppies so that the little kitten could nurse. Before long, Nala and Izzy were absolutely inseparable. You wouldn’t know that Nala was a cat by the way that she learned to act!
Whenever the Myer family would put Nala in the pen with Izzy and the puppies, a furry pile of love would soon appear. Nala couldn’t go two feet without being swarmed by her ‘litter’. Soon, it became obvious that Nala was adopting the dog family as much as they were adopting her. In fact, it became a typical sight to see Nala buried in four or five sleeping puppies. Of course, Nala didn’t mind, she was purring and sleeping along right next to them! When Nala would grow tired of being cuddled, she’d climb up and out of the puppy pen in order to do her own thing. After she would get done eating or playing outside of the pen, she would climb right back in so that she could join her new family.
Thanks to all the love that Nala got from kittens, dogs, and the Myer family, she was able to grow into a beautiful adult cat. By the time that Nala was completely rejuvenated, she was ready to go and find her forever home. As Nala left the home, Izzy became distraught. It was clear that Izzy would miss Nala. The Myer family knew that they couldn’t keep Nala but that didn’t mean that they were done doing good deeds. Instead, the Myer family went straight to adopting more foster kittens in order to help rejuvenate them. Wouldn’t you know it, Izzy was once again ready to play mom to another batch of cute little kittens. What could be better than that?

Mayor Max III: The Golden Retriever Who Leads with Love

In the picturesque unincorporated mountain town of Idyllwild, nestled in the heart of Southern California, an extraordinary political figure has been making waves for the past year. But this isn’t your typical politician; this is Mayor Max III, a lovable and charismatic golden retriever who has celebrated a year in office as the town’s mayor. In a town known for its unique and quirky traditions, Max III has carved out a special place in the hearts of the residents.
The legacy of golden retriever mayors in Idyllwild began in 2012 when Mayor Max I took office, followed by Mayor Max II. These remarkable dogs were more than just pets; they were symbols of unity and positivity in a world sometimes marked by division and strife. Max III proudly continues this legacy, and some say he possesses a unique talent passed down from his predecessors—a charming “mouth-closing trick.”
Phyllis Mueller, Max III’s owner, attests to the magic of this trick. “I just held the treat above his mouth, and he knew exactly what to do, without any instruction,” she says with a proud smile. This special skill has become a signature move during his public appearances in the center of town, where Max III has embraced his role with enthusiasm.
Mayor Max III’s duties extend beyond his charming tricks. He is a dog on a mission to bring joy and comfort to the people of Idyllwild. His calendar is filled with visits to schools, nursing homes, and hospitals, where he spreads cheer and offers a welcome distraction from life’s challenges. “It’s a fun way to do politics because we don’t do anything divisive, ever,” Mueller explains.
Max’s journey to becoming the mayor of Idyllwild is a heartwarming tale. Phyllis Mueller, a successful owner of a full-service marketing agency, always maintained a commitment to living on a smaller budget with the intention of giving back to the community. When she adopted Max, she realized that golden retrievers were the perfect ambassadors for her mission to achieve world peace through love and compassion.
Several golden retrievers later, Mueller, along with her husband Warren and their elderly dog Max, made a life-changing move from Pasadena to Idyllwild in the summer of 2011. Fate seemed to be on their side when the town’s animal rescue center announced that it would be holding its first-ever election for a non-human mayor. This was the opportunity they had been waiting for.
In their cozy mountain home, Mayor Max III enjoys the perks of his position. Mueller proudly showcases one of two tie closets for the mayor, where Max’s collection boasts an impressive 3,000 ties. However, being a mischievous pup at heart, Max couldn’t resist indulging in a few of his ties, devouring three of them during his first month in office.
But beyond the ties and the charming tricks, Mayor Max III serves as a reminder to the people of Idyllwild that there is still goodness in the world. “Every day, people do good things,” says Mueller, “and these dogs here, they are living angels, and they love you with all their heart.”
As Mayor Max III continues his reign, the town of Idyllwild remains a shining example of how love, unity, and the unbreakable bond between humans and their four-legged companions can make the world a better place—one adorable golden retriever at a time.

Love, Laughter, and 75 Years Together: Gene and Virginia Nelson’s Remarkable Anniversary

Gene and Virginia Nelson of Canby, Oregon, have a relationship that showcases love’s enduring power. The couple recently celebrated an incredible 75 years of marriage, a milestone that very few can claim to have reached. When asked the secret to their lasting love, they attribute it to patience, trust, and a good sense of humor.
Gene, at 95, and Virginia, at 92, have seen a lifetime of changes and challenges, but their love has remained steadfast. When questioned about their enduring bond, Virginia simply replied, “We were just meant to be together!” Gene chimed in, “Have patience through the good times and the bad, try to be honest and faithful.”
Their journey began 75 years ago on August 8 when they decided to elope from Brownsville, Oregon, in Linn County. They hopped on a bus to Reno and got married, a move that still brings a giggle to Virginia’s lips as she recalls how they outfoxed their parents. At the time, Virginia was just 17, and Gene was 20, with Gene humorously adding, “I was 20 and five months, lacked 2 days, and she was 17 years and 25 days.”
According to their grandson, Cody Westphal, their sharp minds are one of the reasons behind their enduring relationship. He said, “Just actively trying to exercise your mind is how it stays sharp.”
The couple has three children and seven grandchildren, with the youngest being 29 years old. Gene recalled what made him know that Virginia was the one, saying, “She was a sweet girlfriend, and I hadn’t found out any of her faults yet when we were young,” which elicited laughter from both of them.
Judy, their daughter, expressed her pride in her parents’ long-lasting love. She said, “It takes a lot to make it 75 years and not give up, and they never gave up.”
Their sense of humor remains a cornerstone of their relationship, as Judy shared, “They both have a really good sense of humor.” Gene and Virginia often engage in friendly banter, and even if they have disagreements during the day, they never go to bed angry.
The couple’s thrifty nature is another shared trait. They still have the refrigerator they purchased right after their wedding from Sears Roebucks, and it’s still in working condition. Just like their marriage, it has stood the test of time. Gene proudly mentioned, “Never had a service charge, and it’s still working! We’ve always been thrifty.”
Their light-hearted arguments, thrifty habits, and enduring love have earned them the nickname “the Bickersons” among family members. Cody noted, “Even if they fight all day, they don’t go to bed angry. I think that’s why they wake up the next day, and they’re still the Bickersons!”
In the twilight of their lives, Gene and Virginia continue to cherish their partnership. As Gene put it, “We’re in our waning days. I hope she outlives me because I don’t want to outlive her.” Their story is a heartwarming reminder that love, patience, and a good sense of humor can make a marriage truly timeless.

Jacksonville Man Spreads Love and Positivity at the Beach

In Jacksonville, Florida, a man has been making waves of positivity and spreading kindness at the Beach Boulevard and San Pablo Road South intersection. With handmade signs that read, “Have a wonderful Day!! I Love You” and “You are Relevant,” this man is on a mission to uplift the spirits of those who pass by. His heartwarming gestures have not gone unnoticed, and his actions are especially poignant during National Suicide Prevention Month.
Rika, a local resident, had a unique encounter with this compassionate individual. She was on her way to pick up her lunch when she saw a man standing in the median of the road, holding these uplifting signs. Most of us would just glance and continue on our way, but Rika decided to take a closer look. As she stopped at a red light, she took a few pictures to capture the moment. To her surprise, the man approached her car and handed her a sunflower.
“So picture this… you’re out going to pick up your lunch, and there’s this random guy walking by with a handmade sign,” Rika recounted. “I’m sure like most of us, we’d glance and keep it moving, but I decided to read his sign since I was at a stop light. I snapped a few pictures because why not, but as I was doing this, he approached my car door to hand me a sunflower! Don’t forget to appreciate the small things.”
This simple act of kindness had a profound impact on Rika, as it has on many others who have encountered this man and his signs. His message of love and importance reminds us all to appreciate the small joys in life and to acknowledge our worth.
The man’s efforts are not just a random act of kindness; they hold special significance during National Suicide Prevention Month. September is a time when people and organizations across the country work to raise awareness about mental health and suicide prevention. This Jacksonville man’s compassionate actions align perfectly with the spirit of this month, as he strives to remind people that they matter and that there is goodness in the world.

Arizona Family Finds Missing Dog After 12 Years

In the warm and sunny state of Arizona, a touching story of a lost dog named Minion recently unfolded. After an astonishing 12 years apart, Minion was finally reunited with his loving family thanks to the magic of a tiny microchip.
It all began when a compassionate officer from Maricopa County Animal Care and Control (MCACC) picked up a dog wandering the streets. The senior dog, with a demeanor that seemed a bit reserved and melancholic, had never wagged his tail during his time at the shelter. Little did they know that this seemingly lost and lonely dog held a remarkable secret.
Upon routine scanning of the dog’s microchip, a heartwarming discovery was made. The microchip revealed the dog’s name – Minion – and even more astonishingly, it provided a link to his family. The family had experienced the heartache of losing their beloved furry friend 12 long years ago, all because a maintenance worker had accidentally left the back gate open in 2011.
With the information obtained from the microchip, MCACC embarked on a mission to reunite Minion with his long-lost family. This heartwarming tale took a poignant turn as a field officer drove 15-year-old Minion back to his home. The officer took the time to explain to the owner that Minion had aged over the years and was no longer the sprightly pup they had known. However, the moment of reunion was sure to be a special one.
As the kennel door swung open and Minion laid eyes on his family, something extraordinary happened. Despite his age and the passage of time, Minion’s tail began to wag furiously, and his eyes sparkled with unmistakable joy. It was clear that he recognized his family and was overjoyed to be back in their loving embrace.
While the details of where Minion had been for the past 12 years remain a mystery, this heartwarming reunion serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of microchipping our pets. Microchips are tiny devices implanted under a pet’s skin that contain important identification information. In Minion’s case, this small chip was the key to reuniting him with his family after more than a decade apart.

Orphaned Puma Cubs, Elbroch and Olympia, Find a New Home in Pennsylvania

Two brave puma cubs, Elbroch and Olympia, have begun a new chapter of their lives in Pennsylvania after a heartbreaking start. These sibling cubs, a boy and a girl, tragically lost their mother when she was shot by a farmer. Now, at 21 weeks old, they are finding comfort and care in a new home at the Philadelphia Zoo.
Maggie Morse, the curator of carnivores and ungulates, shared, “Our keepers have been working hard to help the puma siblings adjust to their new home. We are dedicated to ensuring their well-being and helping them settle in.” The cubs are in good hands with the zoo’s keeper and veterinary teams, who are providing them with the best care possible.
Elbroch, the male cub, is named after Mark Elbroch, a leading puma researcher at Panthera, a conservation organization devoted to protecting wild cats worldwide. On the other hand, Olympia, the female cub, gets her name from the state capital of Washington. The zookeepers can tell the cubs apart by their sizes, with Elbroch being the bigger and more confident of the two. He loves to explore and is not afraid to venture into new territories.
Although the public will have to wait until fall to see these adorable cubs, their arrival is a result of collaboration between the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife, the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, and the Philadelphia Zoo. Rachel Metz, the zoo’s vice president of animal well-being, emphasized the importance of this placement, explaining that without intervention, these cubs would likely struggle to survive without their mother.
Philadelphia Zoo sees the cubs as ambassadors for their mission of wildlife protection. They aim to educate visitors about the vital role of apex predators and the complex interactions between humans and predators in the wild.
Pumas, also known as mountain lions or cougars, possess the largest hind legs among feline species. This unique feature enables them to leap impressive distances while hunting. With the ability to jump more than 20 feet horizontally and 18 feet vertically, they are formidable hunters. From moose to mice, pumas can catch a wide range of prey, showcasing their exceptional hunting skills.
As Elbroch and Olympia begin their journey in their new home, their story serves as a reminder of the challenges wild animals face and the important role that zoos play in conservation efforts. These cubs are more than just adorable faces; they are symbols of hope and a call to action to protect and appreciate the beauty and significance of apex predators like pumas.
