Friends & laughter
People in Brazil noticed this scene and immediately got curious.
It's not exactly common to see two older men walking down the street together, especially holding hands like that.
A lot of people jumped to the conclusion that the two were a couple, but the daughter of the man wearing the light blue shirt clarified that they'd actually been close friends for years.
Since childhood, in fact.
And the shorter of the two is nearly blind.
Since they're both older and doctors recommended regular walks for their health, his friend picks him up every day so they can stay active and exercise together.
Real friends aren't the ones who only stick around when you have money or something to offer.
A genuine friend stays by your side until the very end.

I was on a flight back to UK when the Captain
came on the intercom and said
‘’Ladies and gentlemen we will shortly be landing at Gatport Airwick. Would you please place your seats and trays in the upright position and fasten your seat belt. We hope you have enjoyed this Laker Airways flight and trust you will fly with us again’’
He forgot to switch off the intercom and started talking to his co-pilot…''What are you going to do when we land, Bill?''
The co-pilot replied ’Well, I’m going to find a decent toilet. I’ve been busting for a crap since mid Atlantic, then I’m going to shag that new air hostess we’ve got on board.’’
With the intercom still on this was broadcast throughout the aircraft and because it was being transmitted the young hostess at the back couldn't over-ride it and warn the cockpit.
She started to run down the aircraft aisle …........fell on her face and skids to a halt. She looks up and sees a little old lady looking down, smiling who says.........
''No need to rush, dear. He's going for a shit first.'
"Listen, let's make a deal. All the hens in this barnyard are yours. I'd just like you to leave me two or three of them, so I can live out the rest of my days in peace."
"What!? Out of the question, you old fool! They're all mine. You've had your day. Go die and make way for the young," replied the young rooster
"Okay, okay," said the old man. "So I've got a plan that might help you make a good impression on the ladies. We'll have a race, and the first one to reach the fence will be declared the winner. The only thing I ask is that you give me a 5-second head start because of my advanced age; it'll be more 'fair play'. If you win, you won't hear from me again."
"Are you kidding me?!" said the young rooster, laughing his head off. "An old codger like that dares to challenge me, can you believe it! Come on, let's go whenever you want."
Then the old rooster starts running, followed 5 seconds later by the young rooster, galvanized by all the avian eyes fixed on him.
At that moment, the old rooster became very noisy and began to zigzag frantically. Before he could understand what was happening, the young rooster was pulverized by a blast of buckshot.
"Good heavens!" said the farmer, lowering his weapon. " That's the third faggot rooster I've bought this month!"
Her ex-boyfriend had secretly surrendered Max to a kill shelter
out of spite. By the time she found out, the shelter was closed, the doors were locked, and Max was scheduled to be euthanized the next morning.
So she broke in.
She disabled the alarm, searched through the kennels, and finally found Max.
She got him out and went home.
Three days later, she turned herself in.
She was facing felony charges for breaking into the shelter, and she could have lost everything. But then the evidence came out: veterinary records, photographs, and Max’s microchip all showed that Max was her dog. Her ex had no legal right to surrender him.
The charges against her were dismissed. Max was returned to her, and a warrant was issued for her ex.
She still had to pay for the damage she caused to the shelter.
Her response?
Worth every penny.
And maybe the most important part of the story is what happened afterward. Her case raised serious questions about how shelters verify who actually owns an animal before accepting a surrender—questions that could help prevent another dog from ending up in the same situation.
Some people might see what she did as breaking into a building.
She saw it differently.
Her best friend was behind that door, and morning meant he might not be alive.
Max is home now.
Exactly where he was supposed to be all along.

I HOPE THE X WHO SURRENDERED THE DOG TO BE KILLED GETS a heavy penalty aand I hope all his family and friends are as disgusted at him for doing such a thing as I am. Appalling thing to do.
You make, and take, from the news that which you wish to see and hear. You observe what you want and comment of things that affect you personally. If you don't like something, do not read it and move on but do not shy away from what IS going on in the world of which - you are a part. World news is so easy to find these days and differing opinions not hard to find. Having an opinion is vital and being a ' don't care' person helps no one. So open your mind - open your heart - open your awareness and ALWAYS be open to new ideas.
