Absolutely loved this piece. The coginitve disproportion framing really clarifies why social media feels so exhausting lately. What's interesting is that even the people who commented on George weren't just happy about one dog, they were hungry for evidence that strangers still care. Kinda makes me wonder if we underestimate howmuch weight a single good news story can lift.

Hi Derek. I am glad to know your sister got her dog back. I enjoy reading good news. I subscribe to emails from Nice News, Note to Self, Daily Dig and Daily Purr (those last 2 are great for animal lovers). I enjoy good news in my email. Something good that recently happened to me: I am currently without a vehicle (it’s a bit of a story), but anyway, a friend has loaned me an extra vehicle that she & her husband have, but are not currently driving. It has truly been such a blessing. πŸ™‚

That is great news! I love things like that, where someone goes - hey I have something that might help and lo and behold it does!

Really enjoyed the story and the thoughtfulness behind it. My piece of good news is I had a customer tip me $20 and a dozen farm fresh eggs on a $9 food order I delivered.
