Wholesome Photos That Will Thaw Even The Coldest Hearts
There are a lot of negative or overwhelming things happening in our world, and it's easy to fixate on those things instead of looking at all the positive things that exist.
Instead of the negative, we're providing heartwarming photos that will bring a little added joy to your day, no matter what kind of mood you're in or how bad of a day you're having. We've got cute dogs, babies, random acts of kindness, and more—all to bring a smile to your face.

Teamwork Makes The Dream Work
You gotta do what you gotta do in order to get those table scraps. This is clearly a system they've perfected over the years, and we have no doubt that it works for them. How could anyone not slip them a little bit of whatever they're cooking up?
Contributing In The Best Way She Knows How
This woman wants to be able to contribute to her community, and she found the perfect way to. Every year, she knits hats from January to December and then drops a bagful off at a local shelter so everyone can be warm.
You Can See How Happy She Is
She may not be able to walk to the park anymore, but this 15-year-old girl still deserves to bask in the sunshine, which is why her owner drives her down there.

Love Knows No Limits

All Are Welcome Here
It doesn't take a lot to make a difference in someone's life, and a small gesture like this could mean a lot more to someone than you'll ever know. Even if no one takes them up on the offer, knowing that someone in the community cares is what matters.
Dedication To His Career
If you're looking for someone who's committed to their craft, it's this man. He knows the best way to get your child to sit still during a haircut is for them to not know it's happening, and he's willing to get down on his hands and knees to make sure your kid's hair doesn't grow too long.
Protecting The Population

Neighborly Behaviour
Even though he can't leave his house much due to health issues, one Reddit user still gets to play with his neighbor's dog, because Jasper will come to his door to visit, and he always brings a toy with him. As the poster said when he posted his original photo, we should all be like Jasper.
A Preemptive Pre-Flight Gift
If you're ever on a flight with a screaming baby, try to remember that the parents don't want it to be happening any more than you do. Before a flight with his twins, one father preemptively handed out earplugs and a little note to all the passengers around him, plus it's hard to be mad at that face, right?

Every Little Thing Is Going To Be Alright

Reunited And It Feels So Good
Something that's often overlooked when people get divorced or couples separate is how it will affect animals that are split apart. After these sweet boys were separated for two years, they were reunited, and now they get to live out their lives together, forever cuddling on the couch.
Defying All The Odds
Parents are often compared to superheroes, and that's certainly true in this case. This woman's husband couldn't help bragging about his wife after she was diagnosed with cancer while pregnant and still gave birth to a healthy baby boy while going through chemo. We don't blame him for bragging.
We're Not Crying, You're Crying

It's The Little Things In Life
It's a simple gesture, but think how many times a note like this could've saved you a lot of turmoil in a public restroom. It doesn't take a lot to make someone else's life a little better.
A Modern-Day Love Story
Every time they go for a walk, they have to stop to say hi to each other, and honestly, is it a little depressing that these dogs have a better love story than we do? Sure, but we're willing to look past that because they're too cute not to appreciate.
A Christmas Miracle
In his own act of kindness, regardless of the rules or his own holidays, one postal worker wanted to make sure that everyone got their Christmas packages mailed before it was too late. The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear, or in this case, through acts of kindness.
