Bite a breeder today. Let’s hear it for the shelter pups! Good dawgzies.
How awesome! Imagine knowing you've touched someone like that. And for him to let her know -- I just have the happy feels right now.
Often, wholesomeness hits that much harder when we least expect it. It’s an unfortunate reality, that interacting with a business can be exhausting and time-consuming, when it comes to refunds, sorting out shipping issues and replacements, and any other customer service topics. So when a company makes “going above and beyond” not just the purview of a hardworking employee, but policy, people tend to notice.
Take Zappos, the American online shoe and clothing retailer. Beyond a commitment to customer convenience, like a 365-day return policy and free shipping on a number of transactions, the company rewards workers who go the extra mile for their customers. For example, they reportedly had a 10:29 hour customer service call, when a client forgot about a return request when a loved one unexpectedly passed. Zappos sent a replacement for free and some flowers, after waiting on the line.
Even the non-human world is actually full of wholesome moments if you just know where to look. The animal kingdom, for example, is chock full of things that make us go “aww,” but most people stop at kittens and puppies. But all sorts of animals do things that are both fascinating and deeply cute. Otters holding hands is a classic, but did you know that honey bees have dance-offs?
Cows also maintain friendships and like to hang out with their best friends whenever they can. Even more committed, penguins, along with a lot of other birds, mate for life, and will even “propose” to a mate, often with a pebble. Of course, some birds really do take it to the extreme when it comes to impressing a potential mate, for example, building art displayed, fighting rivals, or even very intense forms of dance.
Squirrels and bats both have social systems to take care of orphans. Squirrels will adopt babies whose parents have died and carry them around like their own offspring. Various species of bats do the same, while the most organized version are “bat orphanages,” where groups of bats roost together and females come to feed orphaned babies. These are highly social animals with a pretty advanced solution to this problem.
This one always makes me smile. At times, I think everyone needs laughing luggage.
I hate to be that guy, but in the UK that bill would be $0. Total. Ever. And as a diabetic, all his other prescriptions would be free for life too.
There are countless other examples of things, creatures, and even people that are and act wholesome, an emotion that makes us happy and shows us that there is something good in the world. For all the chaos and negativity on the internet (and, really, everywhere,) digital communication lets us spread these ideas and images. In a sense, it promotes wholesomeness, as often selfless behavior goes unrewarded and unseen.
The human need for this sort of content is reflected in the trends we see on TikTok, Twitter, and yes, even here on Bored Panda. Wholesome, joyful images, memes, and stories are all a salve against doom-scrolling and other words we use to describe the omnipresence of negative content, fear-mongering, and rage bait. The ubiquity and common, everyday use of those words shows just how far “internet negativity” has penetrated our collective psychology.
fun fact-most dogs are allergic to chocolate, but some are not and, while they cannot eat it safely, but will not die (much of this is dependent on weight) my friends dog apparently got into the fridge and ate a WHOLE GODDAMN CHOCOLATE CAKE and was fine afterwards.
Sadly, German Shepherds with dwarfism suffer from a myriad of health issues and do not live long.
While you are right, in the right home, surrounded by love, it doesn't matter how long you are here. Dogs don't need to live long because they are born pure and full of love, not like humans who need a lifetime to learn the value of these simple things.
Load More Replies...I'm in a bad mood today. All I see are people creating a market for breeders to breed yet another type of dog that is inherently suffering because people find it "cute". If you want a dog, go to a shelter and focus on finding a companion that fits your lifestyle. All dogs are cute.
I am also in a bad mood today. I see a dog that may have been euthanized in puppyhood in the past because he has a genetic mutation that occurred randomly, but these days there are many people willing to give dogs with special needs the best lives they can. It seems you're saying no photos of such dogs should ever be posted lest people decide they will try and breed for genetic dwarfism and all the physical problems that accompany it (which makes no sense given they would be attempting to breed special needs dogs), but I am happy to see this dog getting a chance at a good life and it briefly uplifted my mood before seeing your comment with its worst possible interpretation of the subject matter.

No matter what, that is a lap dog, unlike his brethren who just think they are.
It's sad that it has dwarfism because I know it probably has side effects. But that is so freakin cute, kinda dying over here
They're cute but people try to breed them to sell. Plz don't do this. they have lifelong health issues. You're on par with folks who breed pugs.
IMAGINE A MULTIPOO (1 of my favourite dogs) BUT MINI omg <3

My mum is always like "you don't have to stop" and gets annoyed if I do it. I NEED TO AND WANT TO MUM
i'm not sure if i'll get super downvoted for this, but i watch 911 and i recently heard there is a big group of buddie shippers that are mad because the show is supposedly queerbaiting. Some of their arguments consist in Eddie screaming Buck's name when Buck was struck by a lightning and them holding hands when Buck was pulling Eddie from a colapsing building. All I see is a very nice and rare type of friendship, where one is constantly there for the other, and I find very sad that some people are not used to this anymore. I remember McDanno's friendship from hawaii 5-0 and i really wish more shows had this kind of relationship again, but i'm not certain if it wouldn't get mistaken for something else and hated on.
Yeah, slightly less sweet when you know that he was physically abusive to her during their relationship.
Some of these ain't even wholesome. They're for an entirely different list and I'm disappointed
Ikr. Near the end (now that all the irrelevant ones are at the bottom of the list), I had to double check that I hadn't accidentally tapped into a different list altogether.
