@kayakestable Lovely.

Ese sábado fui al refugio con un plan claro ya en mente. Había elegido a mi perro en línea: un mestizo de Pitbull fuerte y guapo, con ojos gentiles y expresivos. Incluso había empezado a llamarlo Bruno antes de conocerlo. En mi mente, todo parecía simple. La puerta del kennel se abriría, él vendría directamente hacia mí con la cola moviéndose, y nos iríamos a casa juntos. Ya me imaginaba haciendo caminatas y teniendo un compañero leal a mi lado. Pero cuando el voluntario abrió la puerta, nada salió como lo había imaginado. Bruno no se movió. Ni cola moviéndose, ni emoción. Solo se quedó allí en el concreto, soltó un sonido suave e incierto, y bajó la cabeza. Confundido, me acerqué más. “Vamos, amigo”, dije suavemente, extendiendo la correa. Me miró por un momento, luego miró más allá de mí. Cuando seguí su mirada, vi a un cachorro mestizo diminuto acurrucado en la esquina, tratando de hacerse invisible. El pequeño cachorro, tal vez de ocho semanas, estaba temblando. Sus ojos estaban fijos en Bruno, y Bruno lo observaba con la misma intensidad. Fue entonces cuando lo entendí. No solo compartían un espacio. Eran el consuelo el uno del otro. En un refugio ruidoso y abrumador lleno de perros ladrando, habían encontrado una sensación de paz mutua. Bruno no estaba siendo terco. Solo no quería dejar a su amigo atrás. Sin un solo sonido, lo dejó claro: no iba a ir a ningún lado solo. En ese momento, ya no se sentía como una elección. Se sentía como lo único que había que hacer. Me volví hacia el personal, tomé aire y pregunté: “¿Es posible adoptar a los dos?” El voluntario sonrió y dijo que habían estado esperando que alguien lo hiciera. Los dos dormían acurrucados juntos todas las noches. Después de que se completó el papeleo y todo estuvo finalizado, salieron del refugio uno al lado del otro, manteniéndose cerca, tal como siempre estuvieron destinados a estar.

@FOSFCanada Not the potholes then?

“Make no mistake, we are out to fully end Brit govt rule in Ireland. Irish unity is not just a good idea, it is the idea and we are setting out to achieve that by 2030, That date is real. The days of saying yes to unity, but not now, must end.” - McDonald labouroutlook.org/2026/05/01/sin…

@UTVNews And also the footage of you carrying inla coffin.

Use of Bloody Sunday footage in Kemi Badenoch video ‘disgusting’, says SDLP MP More details: itv.com/news/utv/2026-…

@Sabiha1278 Aww this is sad.

He didn’t run. He didn’t bark. He just walked closer… slowly… painfully… 🐾💔 Like every step hurt— but stopping would hurt even more. And his eyes… They weren’t just looking at us. They were asking. “Can you help me?” 🥺 We didn’t need words. We understood. When we got him to the vet… the truth was devastating. A malignant tumor. Aggressive. Painful. Every step he had taken… every quiet moment… he had been fighting through that. He needed surgery. But first—he needed strength. So they fed him. Cared for him. Stayed beside him. And slowly… he began to believe again. ❤️ They named him Duke— because even in pain, he carried something noble. And then… she came. Not once. Not twice. But again and again— sitting with him, talking to him, choosing him… before he was even hers. Duke waited for her. Trusted her. Loved her. 💛 Surgery day came… hours of waiting… hope hanging by a thread… And then— he made it. The pain that followed him for so long… was finally gone. But the best part? She didn’t leave. She chose him—completely. Took him home. Gave him a life he never had. Now Duke wakes up safe. Loved. Pain-free. No more searching. No more suffering. Because sometimes… the ones who come to us broken— are just waiting for someone to finally make them whole again. 🐶❤️

@BloodySundayT @SprinWestrock72 Are you with ira victims ?

Yesterday we stood with the families @SprinWestrock72 Their dignity and determination shone brightly, They fought for 54 years. We commend these families for their tenacity and resilience! You never gave up!

@bfchild66 They are John,

My beautiful family

@historyinmemes That's lovely.

A 90-year-old woman in Kenya finally agreed to marry her 95-year-old partner after 64 years together, joking, “Men can be unpredictable—I needed to be certain.”

@Axaxia88 People can be bastards at times.

This beautiful female dog had been moved through at least five different homes (her fifth one), and had never had a permanent home. Because of that, she had never even had her own bed to sleep in. When her new owner bought a new bed and said, ‘This is your bed, you have a forever home now,’ her reaction made everyone watching tear up: she looked at her owner with bright, hopeful, loving eyes. 💖✨ She immediately jumped onto the bed, lay down, curled up, and showed an indescribable sense of happiness and gratitude.

@onchaindreamer Amen.

This man right here, this man just got diagnosed with lung cancer. He’s a great man, high school teacher, devote parent of a beautiful newborn girl, and a boy with cerebral paralysis. Can I get an amen for him? Thank you brothers and sisters, keep him in your prayers. 🙏🙏🙏

@BlondeOfWar brillant

Koda was paralyzed from a stroke and the vet said he would never walk. This brave lab put in the work and after 2 years of determination and a lot of treats, is walking and running again! I love that his family included him on all of their trips and never gave up. Go Koda!! ❤️

@Matthew43297558 You are indeed Mr

Today I celebrated my 9th birthday. Still a handsome dude 😊

@InterestingSTEM Aww lovely.

A baby with osteogenesis imperfecta, a genetic disorder that causes extremely fragile bones, frequent fractures, blue sclera, and short stature due to defective type I collagen, quietly plays with his mother: beyond any diagnosis, every life deserves the chance to be lived.

@markjohnoneill Aww Cooper bless ya.

On Tuesday Cooper had been happily playing in the garden sprinkler. Today we’ve said goodbye. Didn’t eat his food yesterday, so trip to vets and CT scan found a mass in his spleen. During surgery discovered he was riddled with nodules. All very sudden. Devastated.

@YSaghal Sad.

🚨Dogs locked inside a government ABC centre in Cheeka, Haryana in this scorching heat with no electricity, no caretakers, and the sounds of distressed dogs are soul-crushing. I doubt the availability of water and food as well. Is this a sterilisation centre or a t0rture chamber? This needs to be investigated on priority. I request the authorities to inspect the site and take strict action immediately. @dckaithal @devenderhan @NayabSainiBJP @ulbharyana @police_kaithal

@JohnOberg This is wrong wrong wrong.

This mother cow is desperately trying to get her stolen babies back. The calves will be sold as veal, and the mother will NEVER see them again. 😢 This is the heartbreaking cost of #dairy. Please RT. 💔

@FrankoSerpico ira killed more catholics.

Amazing to see the reaction to the Golders Green stabbings as terrorism, when for 20 years British Home Secretary and RUC refused to proscribe the UDA as a terrorist group even though they brutally murdered 100s of Catholics.

@BollingKeith Aww bless,that's sad.

This was Belle on Weds. Happy in her daily walk. Yesterday, she collapsed. Today we have lost her. 11 plus years of being a pain in the arse and of course bringing joy and love. ❤️

@AllisonMorris1 These findings came from SFIRA? we all know how it works by now.

@Steven150072 Since when were judges expected to be at the scene of a crime? It was his findings after a very lengthy inquest

British Army soldiers did not use reasonable force in the shooting of a Catholic priest, a father-of-six and three teenagers in two areas of west Belfast on July 9 1972, the coroner Mr Justice Scoffield ruled

@annie_mcginley Do not tell us he was only going out to the shops for a pint of milk.

Paddy Butler died a hero, shot while running to help the dying. Justice Schofield has finally cleared his name, yet the 3 unionist leaders remain silent. Their refusal to acknowledge the murder of innocent people is a disgrace. Truth is out: Paddy was a hero. #Springhill

@RelsForJustice Will you support the victims from ira terrorism?

Springhill Inquest Findings: None of the victims posed a threat. All were aimed shots. All represented unreasonable force by the British Army. Father Noel Fitzpatrick and father of 6 Patrick Butler were killed by the same bullet. All killings were violations of British Army's own Yellow Card rules. John Dougal (16yrs): shot by Soldier A while running away and trying to find cover, he may have been armed but Coroner declared that irrelevant. Father Noel Fitzpatrick: was shot by Soldier A while trying to minister to injured/dead/dying. The British soldier would have seen that he was unarmed. Patrick Butler: was shot and killed by Soldier A while he was assisting Father Fitzpatrick. The British soldier would have seen he was unarmed. David McCafferty (14yrs): was killed by Soldier A while trying to retrieve Father Fitzpatrick's body. The British soldier would have seen he was unarmed. Margaret Gargan (13yrs): was unarmed and posed no threat when killed by Solider E. Our sincere thoughts and gratitude are with these extraordinary families this evening. They have borne unmerciful hardship and trauma. Their courage in the face of the British state's impunity has been truly inspiring.
