Dog’s are normally overcome with joy when their human’s finally return from time away, but this dog was clearly offended that he wasn’t allowed to go on the family vacation, and made sure his humans knew it.

In the video, this hysterical dog’s owner comes to take him out of the doggie motel where he stayed while everyone was away. Instead of going crazy and wagging his tail, this Boxer barely flinches, and makes it very clear how mad he is.

Despite being left at a doggie motel, which is basically a spa for dogs, this boxer named Hannibal was still mad for being left behind.

As Hannibal’s humans approached, this cheeky Boxer was as still as a statue, and gave the sassiest side eye as his family tried to get his demeanor to soften.

Watch the entire video below to see the sassy way this Boxer greets his humans after they get home from vacation.

Most moms just hang up their child’s doodles and finger paintings on the fridge, but what this mom does with her daughter’s art will make your jaw drop!

When Ruth Oosterman’s 3-year-old daughter Eve started noticing her mother painting, her interest in art was piqued. Since then, the Canadian artist and her daughter have been working together to create a series called “Collaborations with my Toddler.”

Each piece begins with Eve, who uses a felt-tip pen on paper to create the bones of the painting. “As all of our collaborations start, my [then] two-year-old creates her own sketch with an ink pen, which I then use to turn into a watercolor painting,” Oosterman told Bored Panda.

“The sketch is completely her own with no instruction given from me, I simply use her creativity to inspire me to create a painting.”

“I try to work quickly and let imagination and play take root into the painting rather than taking it to seriously, this way I can encourage Eve’s contribution without making it too ‘grownup,’” Oosterman explained.

“As Pablo Picasso said, it can take ‘but a lifetime to paint like a child.’ I feel so blessed that my daughter can remind me once again what it is to paint like a child by letting me see through her eyes,” Oosterman said.

Watch the video below to see how this mother daughter duo create these magical works of art.

The act of raising a helpless baby forms an unbreakable bond, no matter if that baby is human or not. When a couple was given the task of keeping a baby koala alive, they never imagined how amazing those sleepless nights, and constant feedings would make them feel.

When one of Symbio Wildlife Park’s mother koalas passed away tragically from Leukemia, the team was left with a very difficult decision, as the zoo had two baby koalas, Imogen and Harry, and only one mother, Kelly. Kelly was actually Imogen’s birth mom, but the team decided the best chance of survival for both babies was to hand rear Imogen, the older of the two babies, and attempt to cross surrogate Harry into Kelly’s pouch.

Kylie Elliott and Matt Radnidge, who both work at the park, were then put on the fast track to parenthood, as they were given the task of hand raising baby Imogen. The two never left Imogen’s side, and would walk around with her nestled in a pouch beneath a warm coat.

While out in public, people were always noticing Kylie’s bump and  commenting “how far along are you?” “Not long to go now hey!” “Do you know if it’s a boy or a girl.”

Little did they know, the large bump was really a cozy Imogen who needed Kylie’s warmth, movement, and heartbeat to simulate life in her mother’s pouch.

“Hand raising Imogen has been the most challenging and rewarding thing we have ever achieved. It hasn’t been an easy journey raising a joey with nocturnal habits and sharp claws – I definitely have a new respect for Koala mothers! Imogen has become such a huge part of our lives, and we are so blessed to have had the opportunity to play a part in her rearing,” Kylie said.

Watch the entire video below to see how Kylie and Matt raised this orphaned baby Koala.

In his short 56 years on earth, Steve Jobs managed to fit in several careers and several lifetimes, which is why he’s the perfect person to go to for the key to living life well.

In his commencement speech to Stanford’s graduating class of 2005, Jobs touched on the experiences that shaped his life including his decision to drop out of college, getting fired from Apple, and finally getting diagnosed with cancer.

3. Trust that the dots will connect.

When Jobs dropped out of Reed College, he was terrified because he had no idea what to do with his life, but dropping out of classes he didn’t enjoy freed up time that allowed him to drop into classes he did. It all seemed useless to him then, but became priceless knowledge as he grew older. “You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.”

2. The worst things in your life may not be what they seem.

In Jobs’ opinion, the ‘worst’ thing that had ever happened to him was getting fired from the very company he started, yet, in the end, it proved to be the best thing to ever happen to him. He may have been fired from his company, but that had not changed his love for what he did.

“I didn’t see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.”

“Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith. I’m convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You’ve got to find what you love.”

1. Remember that life is finite.

After his first cancer diagnosis and surgery, Jobs reminded the students that life is limited, so follow your heart since you really have nothing to lose in reality. “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life,” Jobs said. “Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

Mondays are hard to get right, but just because the first day of the week didn’t go as you’d hoped, doesn’t mean the rest of the week has to suffer.

Incorporate these top 4 daily rituals into your evening routine to ensure you start the next day off on the right foot, and have a great week instead of a stressful one.

4. Prepare yourself for tomorrow.

The last thing you want to do after a long day at work is get ready for tomorrow, but getting tomorrow’s food and outfit together will give you a sense of accomplishment, and will save you precious time in the morning.

When you wait to get those details together in the morning, you’re more likely to start the day off stressed, which will only carry over into your work day.

3. Write out tomorrow’s top 3 goals.

If your to-do list feels endless, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed with all the things you have to get done, and actually end up getting none of it accomplished. Instead, take a few minutes each night to write down the top three things you’d like to get done the following day.

Identifying the most important things on your list will keep you from getting overwhelmed, and give you a sense of direction as you start the day. Over time, the more you successfully accomplish your three goals, the more confidence you’ll have in your ability to fulfill goals.

2. Make your bedroom an oasis.

The environment you create for yourself in your bedroom will have a huge impact on your day-to-day life since you spend about a third of your life in your bedroom. The bedroom is meant for sleeping and relaxation, not eating snacks, or catching up on TV.

By de-cluttering the space and removing distractions like televisions and computers, you’ll get much better sleep, which will improve your ability to focus and handle life’s daily stressors.

1. Get your beauty sleep.

In order to have a positive and productive week, you need to have a solid foundation of sleep. No matter how prepared you are for the upcoming day, you’ll never have a great day if you haven’t gotten enough sleep.

Most adults need about seven to nine hours of sleep each night to let their bodies fully restore themselves, so be sure to set an appropriate bed time depending on what time you have to wake up.

What evening rituals do you have for ensuring a great week? Share with us in the comments below.

For the Tipton family, finding the perfect animal to make a part their family was a challenge, but they knew immediately when they spotted a rescue kitten they later named Doc.

Doc was found after surviving a tragic incident that severely damaged her right paw, which had to be amputated to save her life.This injury may have turned most families away, but the Tipton’s knew she was meant for their family since their two-year-old daughter named Scarlette was also an amputee.

“She recognizes that the cat has similar struggles as she does,” mom Simone Tipton said.

Scarlette was born with a rare form of cancer that forced doctors to amputate her left arm in order to save her life. While the surgery was a success, the amputation was overwhelming for a 10-month-old, and so the family searched for a family pet that would help her during her recovery.

“We really wanted to get her an animal that she could kind of relate to, something that she can grow-up with and feel like she has a special bond with,” Simone said.

Finally, the family heard of a cat who lost a leg in a tragic incident, and knew they had to adopt her. “Scarlette was really excited, she absolutely loves cats. She did notice that Doc had staples on her side and said ‘owies’. I let her know that she had owies just like her, and she placed her hand on her side and just nodded,” Simone told Love Meow.

When it comes to 3D-printing, the possibilities are endless for creating new solutions to tricky problems plaguing humans and even animals.

Derby the 2-year-old Husky mix was born with a birth defect that left his two front legs and paws, which made it impossible for him to walk. Over the years, Derby and his owners have tried everything to make him mobile. Finally, after all their hard work, Derby is finally being fitted with a pair of prosthetic legs that will let him walk like a normal dog of his size.

Last year, Derby was given his first pair of 3D-printed legs. In order to let him adjust to walking properly, the first legs were much lower to the ground.

But now, Derby is getting fitter with a new pair that are taller and allow him to walk and sit upright like a normal dog.

Watch the incredible video below to see how science has given this dog his freedom back.

We often think that raccoons are dirty animals who will eat just about anything they get their little paws on. While these creatures might eat just about anything, they are at least known for thoroughly washing their food before eating it.

Unfortunately for this little guy, he has to find out the hard way that cotton candy and water is a recipe for disaster.

This raccoon was eager to taste this sugary treat, but made sure to clean it off before his feast.

Yet the minute the cotton candy touched the water, it instantly dissolved from his hands. The puzzled raccoon tried desperately to grasp at the pink cloud in the water, but it was too late.

Watch the entire video below to see the tragic moment this raccoon’s sweet treat completely disappears.

Many grown men, nevermind six-year-olds, don’t know what it means to be polite and have good table manners, but this mom is making sure her son learns these important lessons early.

Every month, this 6-year-old boy named Lyle takes his mom out on a dinner date to a restaurant where he not only opens doors for her, pulls out her chair, and ask each other questions about their day, but also pays the bill with the money he’s earned from his chores. “Too many men these days have no idea how to treat women or how to take them on a nice date. It’s nice to know my son won’t be one of them,” mom Nikkole Paulun said.

“I am teaching him how to treat a lady & how to take her on a proper date. How to show that he respects the woman he loves (right now that would be mommy).”

“We put our phone and iPad away (except to take this photo) and sit and talk to each other about our days, things we want to do, etc,” Paulun wrote on a post to Facebook. I’m teaching him proper table manners and that it’s rude to sit on your phone on a date with your mom or with anyone else. He learns the value of money and how to manage it.“

“Yes, he is young, but I believe this is something he should learn now. It’s never too early to teach your child how to properly respect others, especially women. As a woman who has been abused & treated like crap in the past, it’s extremely important to me that I teach my son how to show respect,” Paulun wrote.

Soldiers are prepared to sacrifice everything, including their own lives for their countries, but when Shaun Stocker woke up in a hospital after being blown up by a bomb in Afghanistan, he realized his chances at being a father were gone. Luckily, however, one doctor’s quick thinking gave him hope.

Shaun was part of the Royal Welsh Regiment, but at the age of 19, lost both his legs, reproductive organs, and was blinded. However, while Shaun was in a coma, his doctor managed to save and freeze some of his sperm so that he could one day become a father through IVF.

“Theo is the son I never thought I’d be able to have and it is all because of the brilliance of Dr Jackson Kirkman-Brown,” Shaun said. “For me personally, Theo’s arrival marks the conclusion of my rehabilitation.”

After one course of IVF, his fiancee, Persia, became pregnant with their son Theo who was born on Christmas.

“I’ve spent the past five years recovering from my injuries and getting myself fixed up physically so I’d be able to look after a family. I feel like now I have everything a man could want,” Shaun told the Daily Mail. “I knew I’d love Theo, but I never knew I’d love him this much. I’ve never been happier. It’s amazing.”

Injured, neglected, or abused animals may seem beyond repair, but even animals that suffer incredible trauma can transform with a little love and care.

This 5-year-old tan colored mutt named Scooter was found dragging herself around the streets of Thailand by a local rescue organization with no back legs, inflamed sores covering her lower body, and a broken spine. However upon arriving in the United States to live with her adopted mom, Willow Sullivan who saves unwanted animals, Scooter has begun her miraculous recovery.

At first, Scooter was terrified and acted aggressively towards Sullivan and her new doctors. “She was very hard to handle, she didn’t trust people— you could tell she had had a really tough life,” said Dr. Chris Frye. After being showered with love, and receiving necessary medical treatment, Scooter became a totally different dog.

Not only is she now happy and affectionate, but her doctors fitted her with wheels so she could also regain her freedom. “At first she just stood there and stood there. Then she took three steps back,” Sullivan told ABC News. “I called for her, and all of a sudden she walked toward me. Then she wanted out of the exam room. She walked out of the hospital and to the lawn. She strutted like she had been walking forever.”

Dogs may have taken the spotlight for being man’s best friend, but this little girl is proving that companionship comes in all shapes and sizes.

Since the Brown family brought the little duckling they later named Snowflake home, Kylie and the fluffy little bird bonded instantly. “It was kind of on a whim that we brought him home,” Ashley Brown, Kylie’s mother said. “I thought, ‘It’s a farm animal. It lives outside. Maybe we’ll get some eggs from it?’ I was not expecting this.”

Since Snowflake was a tiny yellow duckling, the two have been inseparable, and have even played together on the beach, swung together on the swing set, and gone trick-or-treating together dressed as Frozen characters.

“They are best friends, but in his eyes she’s mama. She’s Mama Duck,” Brown said.
