1. A little white dog in Oklahoma got attacked by two coyotes, and a CAT saved his life. The dog’s name is Oakley. They attacked him in his owners’ backyard and pinned him down, but the family’s black cat Binx ran in and chased them off.
It happened in late November, and Oakley ended up needing stitches. The vet originally thought he might lose a leg too, but that didn’t happen. He’s fully recovered now, and Binx wasn’t injured. (Here’s Oakley, and here’s Binx.)
2. A young woman on social media told a tale of Christmas travel that took an unexpected turn but ended happily:
Alison Hall’s airplane from Minneapolis to Winnipeg had to turn around due to fog…which caused a 5 hour delay…and finally a cancellation.
Three other passengers overheard Alison say she was thinking of renting a car and driving the 500 miles instead. They all approached her and split the cost of the car rental…and one even had snacks!
So four complete strangers, separated by decades – all from different places and walks of life, jumped into a rental car and took off for a very long drive.
They talked, told stories, listened to Christmas music and laughed a lot on the drive. 9-hours later they made it safe home to a white Christmas…and Mary, one of Alison’s new friends, even made it back in time to see her grandson in a performance of The Nutcracker!
