This pup may be color-blind, but she appreciates autumn foliage better than anyone else! Stella the dog absolutely loves jumping into leaf piles, and her owner caught some truly hilarious footage of her in action. In a precious post on social media, they paired the clips with the song Colors of the Wind from Disney’s Pocahontas. It was the perfect audio for this nature-loving pooch! We’re not kidding when we say that Stella loves leaf piles, possibly more than any dog we’ve ever seen. This video includes some hysterical shots of the canine absolutely buried in a massive heap of fallen leaves. She looked totally blissful, her happy face peeking out from the dead foliage. @dognamedstella A fall fan favorite that we are morally obligated to post every pawtumn #stellasleafpiles #pawtumn #pocahontas #keepbeingyou #dontstopbeleafing #dognamedstella #labrador #dogsoftiktok #dogtok #dogsofmaine ♬ Colors of the Wind (Pocahontas) – Arika Kane Another clip showed Stella running through the woods as fast as a dog could run to get to a big leaf pile in the distance. She couldn’t wait to jump right in! One of the best moments in the video was when the pooch started rolling around in a big mountain of leaves, looking ecstatic. Her owner paired this shot with the perfect lyrics from Colors of the Wind. “Come roll in all the riches all around you, and for once, never wonder what they’re worth,” sang Pocahontas. There couldn’t be a better description of what was going on in the video. Stella the dog clearly experiences the purest enjoyment when she’s surrounded by autumn leaves! This fall-loving dog is stealing hearts online. Screengrab from TikTok Commenters loved watching this pooch play in the leaves without a care in the world. Colors of the Wind was definitely the most appropriate audio to go with the footage! “Stella is my favorite Disney princess,” joked one user. Another added, “It truly isn’t fall until Stella is jumping into the leaves.” We could learn a lot about joy from watching Stella the dog frolicking in leaf piles every autumn. Her happiness is truly contagious! You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

At 90 years old, Dr. Jane Goodall has been around longer than most of us have been alive. She became famous early in life, documenting troops of chimpanzees in the wild. Her career includes a lifetime of working with primates to help humans better understand these animals. During a recent interview with Stephen Colbert, she answered a rumor that chimps are NOT her favorite animal. @dominic52770 Protect the earth ♬ original sound – Dominic527 After admitting that the rumor was true, Jane Goodall explained why in her pert and perky style: “They’re much too like humans.” She continued by adding that she likes some and dislikes others, which can also be said of humans. Stephen’s next question can quickly: “What is your favorite animal?” Without hesitation, Jane Goodall answered, with emphasis, “Dogs.” She explained her reasoning is that dogs offer unconditional love. So there you have it. Everyone appreciates being loved, and there is no greater gift than unconditional love. Jane Goodall Is Still As Sharp As A Tack The interview continued, with Stephen asking her about her first trip to Tanzania 64 years ago. Jane Goodall related a story about ten-year-old Jane buying the book, “Tarzan of the Apes.” Although she knew Tarzan was fictional, she fell in love with the idea. She even joked that “Tarzan married the wrong Jane!” Her dream of “living among the apes” began then. At 26, she made her first trip to the jungle. Image from YouTube. Jane’s observations of chimps during her years of living with their troops tell us how much like humans they truly are. Not only do we share 98.7 percent of our DNA with chimps, but “They kiss, embrace, hold hands, pat one another … they live in a male-dominated society …” She compared two male chimps fighting to assert dominance to our current crop of political adversaries, including the swagger, chest-puffing, furious face, and fist-pounding. The entire interview is available on YouTube (we’ve also added it below). Jane Goodall displays her sense of humor, sharp wit, and fantastic personality throughout the interview. She is candid, frank, and upbeat. As they share a drink (bourbon at her request), Jane and Stephen chat like two old friends who are very comfortable with one another. Please share.

Almost three decades after her honeymoon, one woman is still just as in love with her husband as ever — and she has the photos to prove it! In a sweet post on social media, this wife compared two pictures of her partner over time. The first photo was taken during their honeymoon in 1995, while the second was from another trip 29 years later. Although a lot has changed, this man is still “the most beautiful boy” according to his wife! In the first honeymoon photo, the woman’s husband is sitting across the table from her with the happiest smile on his face. He’s resting his chin on his hand so that he can show off his wedding ring. Even though you can’t see his wife in the picture, you can totally tell that this romantic snapshot was taken by someone in love. Screengrab from TikTok “A Denny’s on Maui in 1995,” wrote the wife in her caption. “The first morning of our honeymoon. We were 25 with fake tans and so happy. When I am 100 years old, I will still see him just like this. I snapped this picture on my 35mm camera as he was telling me how happy he was with his new wedding band. He said he wanted the waitress to notice it.” In the next slide, the woman shared a photo of her husband from their “29th honeymoon.” Similar to the first image, it showed the man sitting across the table from her and smiling. All those years later, he was still looking at his wife with the same lovestruck expression. Meanwhile, she thought he was “still the most beautiful.” Screengrab from TikTok This post melted many hearts on social media! Commenters adored seeing how this couple’s love grew as the years went by. “His eyes look at you the same,” wrote one user. Another added, “I hope a love like this finds me.” Even if you don’t believe in true love, you have to admit that this couple makes a pretty good case for it. We hope they’re still looking at each other like this in another 29 years! You can find the source of this story’s featured images here.

Snakes on a plane might be a scenario out of a horror movie, but apparently a python on a boat is actually pretty cute! Pet mom Alexis Paige caught the sweetest footage from a fishing trip with her buddies — which included a serpentine friend! This snake seemed to really enjoy riding in the boat with her mom. She especially loved peering out over the edge of the vessel to look at the water! Alexis posted a video on social media showcasing her python’s adorable behavior during the boat trip. This snake looked like a true sailor as she solemnly stared off into the distance, her neck completely straight as she held her head high. @jovial_nihilist Snake on a boat. Took one of our #ballpython girls #fishing with us. She seemed to enjoy it. #puremichigan #snake #lesserafim #f #telescope #periscope #whatever #adventure ♬ original sound – Alexis Paige “It’s a little captain,” joked Alexis’s friend. “She could really use a captain’s hat right now,” the snake owner agreed. This python was incredibly well-mannered throughout the boat trip. When she didn’t have her eyes on the horizon, she was lounging along the edge of the craft. Commenters loved seeing this precious snake enjoying the boat excursion. However, a few fellow animal lovers had their concerns. “I would be so afraid she would fall in and swim away,” wrote one user. Thankfully, Alexis already had a game plan in case of disaster. She shared in another video that she was fully prepared to jump into the water and save her snake if the critter fell out of the boat. There didn’t seem to be too much danger of that happening, though. Even when Alexis did allow the python to take a quick dip in the water, the animal’s lower half remained on the boat. This snake seemed fully content to lounge in the vessel with Mom and her friend! @jovial_nihilist Replying to @maegan she got a nice soak again after the short walk home. #ballpython #swimming #enrichment ♬ original sound – Alexis Paige Although many people are afraid of snakes, some really do make sweet pets! Thanks, Alexis, for showing the world how adorable these creatures can be. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.
