I watched this like 6 times.
Show And Fall of the Day: When the cocky kid at show and tell boasts: “Yeah I can do, like, one hand, no hands…” you know the massive round of applause will turn out to be a bit hasty.
Very sweet doggie story.
Heartwarming Tearjerker of the Day: Blair, a year-old black lab mix, suffered a gunshot wound while living on the streets of Tulsa, Oklahoma. She recovered, but remained skittish and nervous from life on the streets, and was living indefinitely at Woodland West Animal Hospital.
Tanner, a 2-year-old golden retriever, was brought to the same shelter when his owner died. Tanner is blind, and also suffers from a seizure disorder that causes him to evacuate his bowels. “His seizure disorder was really, really bad and nothing — no medications — seemed to be helping,” said hospital director Dr. Mike Jones. “Anytime he seizes he expresses his bowels. … It made living in a home very, very difficult.”
Jones said he considered putting Tanner down. Then, Tanner met Blair.
“One day they were exercising in a play yard together and they got together,” Jones said. “Blair all of a sudden seemed to realize that Tanner was blind and just started to help him around.” Now Blair leads Tanner around the playground by his leash — a seeing-eye dog for another dog.
Since the pair became besties, Blair’s timidity has lessened, and Tanner is suffering fewer seizures. “They absolutely have to be adopted together,” Jones said. “But it’s going to take a special home with someone who understands their special relationship.”
Handstand of the Day: Giant, soaking-wet, polar bear paw pokes out of water; world sighs, vows to recycle more.
Awww this is the greatest.
Kickass Kid of the Day: A pickup game between UNC players and fans gets competitive when 8-year-old Addis Cone decides to bring the heat. Kid’s got skills.

Interspecies Intermingling of the Day: Anuska and Sadie, the real-life Tod and Copper, are inseparable according to their owner Brian Bevan.
The art teacher says he adopted the eight-month-old kit from a farmer who took her and her eight siblings in after their mother was run over.
Bevan says Anuska loves playing catch and jumping around just like his ten-year-old Jack Russell terrier, so it’s no wonder the two took to each other immediately.
“The second we introduced Anuska to Sadie they got on really well and played happily together,” he said. “There was no hostility, they took to each other brilliantly.”
