Despite the constant negative news coverage we see on a day to day basis, there are actually good people out there. I'm not sure if you knew this, but decent people do indeed roam this earth. Here are a few stories of good people doing good things that will hopefully make you smile.
1. According to a recent Yahoo! News article, a homeless man returned a diamond ring to it's rightful owner after it was accidentally included in the change she gave to him. The site quoted the man, Billy Ray Harris, as saying "My grandfather was a reverend. He raised me from the time I was 6 months old and thank the good Lord, it's a blessing, but I do still have some character."
2. goodmood-news.com is a website dedicated to reporting only pleasant news, including this story. For his 18th birthday, Blaize Richard, who is autistic, was given a special surprise. Because he wanted to be a police officer, his mom coordinated a meeting in which a group of officers presented Richard with his very own police uniform. One of the officers, Mike Hill, decided not to stop there and routinely visits Richard.
3. The Animal League just announced that 60 rescued dogs were brought to their facility on February 7th. These recently saved dogs are now up for adoption. The site says the rescue was a collaboration with The Jason Debus Heigl Foundation, founded by actress Katherine Heigl and her family. Nancy Heigl, a Heigl Foundation co-founder said "Our collective goal is to reduce the euthanasia rate at three L.A. County shelters by transporting animals to forever homes in New York communities where the demand for companion pets is high."
