Hope For Paws received a call about a homeless pit bull in need of help. The dog was abandoned by his family after their home burned down. Weeks went by and they never came back for the poor pit bull, who never strayed far from the scorched house, waiting and hoping they would soon return. Thankfully for the abandoned dog, Eldad Hagar of Hope For Paws was there to help. After feeding the friendly but starving dog a hamburger, Eldad put a leash around his new friend and brought him back to the shelter. The dog, now named Popeye, patiently awaits for a new family to love him. (Source: Eldad Hagar) This beautiful dog has such a sweet temperament and personality. How someone coldly leave a dog like that on the streets? It breaks my heart. Read more: http://viralnova.com/pit-bull-house-fire-rescue/
Very few people have the time or resources to save animals in need. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t do something for them. Heroic animal rescue organizations like Hope For Paws exist to help animals in need when others can’t. A woman named Sandy Mays discovered a dog in a condition that’ll make you feel ill. The pit bull was intensely shy of strangers, she had a severe eye injury and tumors in her face. Savannah, as she was later named, was in desperate need of a rescue. Sandy wasn’t able to help her, but she had to do something. So, Sandy called her friend Lauren. Lauren called Lisa. Then, Lisa helped enlist Eldad from Hope For Paws in a heartwarming rescue. Savannah was in pain. Hope For Paws Not only that, but she was terrified of humans. Hope For Paws Luckily, Eldad was able to get close enough to touch her. Hope For Paws You need to see this touching rescue, and how it all ended, for yourself. By the end of this video, you may be in tears. Savannah transformed from disfigured and frightened dog into something beautiful. Watch her rescue: Savannah was lucky that so many people worked together to find a way to help her.

If you’re a fan of genuinely creepy horror films, then you’ve probably heard about the upcoming movie from director Robert Eggers called The Witch. So far, the reviews for the film have been stellar, and audiences are delighted by the genuinely unnerving horror of The Witch. When the credits roll and the lights go up, most people believe that everything they saw was simply a work of fiction and they have nothing to worry about, right? Well, not so fast… This week, Eggers sat down to talk about his new film and exactly how he researched it. iStock As it turns out, the film was inspired by history, not fiction. “In the early modern period, the real world and the fairy tale world — for everyone but the extreme intelligentsia — were the same thing. People really believed that the old lady down the lane that they were calling a ‘witch’ was actually a fairy-tale ogress, capable of doing the most horrible things,” he told the blog io9. iStock “It was very easy to dig into that and be obsessed with trying to bring the audience back to the 17th century and show them a Puritan’s nightmare. I wanted to bring them back to the time when a witch was a really powerful thing, and not a cheesy plastic Halloween costume,” said Eggers. Eggers said he also dug into writings from the time to find dialogue for the movie. iStock “As I was reading, I would find sentences and phrases that worked and I would write them down constantly. Then I would organize them into different situations where they might be used,” said Eggers. “Earlier drafts of the script were these monstrous, cannibalized versions of other people’s stuff in a weird collage, which then got shaped into something that was more mine. However, there are some things that are absolutely intact. A lot of the things the children say when they’re possessed are supposedly things that children actually said when they were possessed, and so on.” Needless to say, all of this meticulous research has paid off in a big way. It’s looking like The Witch might just be the creepiest movie of 2016. Judge for yourself in the trailer below. (via: Daily Grail) Personally, I can’t wait to check out this film despite the fact that I know it will scare the living daylights out of me. It’s all part of the job I suppose… Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/folk-tale-witches/
Just the smell of chalk brings me back to afternoons on the playground drawing up four square courts and hopscotch games. But those days are long gone and I still have tons of chalk strewn around my home. If you’re in the same boat, here are just a few of the ways you can reuse the stuff. 1. Temporarily dye your hair…here’s how. 2. Ants and other bugs hate talcum powder, a key ingredient in chalk, so you can draw lines in parts of your home that are susceptible to insects. Tickled Mummy Club 3. If your keys aren’t going into their locks without a fight, rub the edges with some chalk and they’ll slide in easily. Flickr / Alper Çuğun 4. Chalk off dangerous zones in your yard — like the area around an outdoor grill — so children know where they shouldn’t go. Flickr / Dennis Jarvis 5. Want to plan your layout without doing the heavy lifting just yet? Chalk out where you want to put things to make sure everything fits. Flickr / Matthew Paul Argall 6. You can color your own candles with crushed-up chalk. 7. Keep a pouch of chalk in your clothing drawers and closets to keep moisture out and freshness in. Pinterest 8. Pretreat grease-stained clothes by rubbing the dirty spots with some chalk. Let them sit for a few minutes and then launder as usual. Flickr / Angus Fraser 9. Keep your tools in tip-top shape by storing them with some chalk. It will keep moisture from rusting your wrenches and other metal items. Flickr / Erich Stüssi 10. The same concept applies to preventing your silverware from tarnishing. Just wrap some chalk in a cheesecloth and store it with your flatware. Flickr / Deidre Woollard 11. You can also pop some chalk in with your jewelry to keep things tarnish-free. Flickr / Joe Flintham 12. Give your nails a makeover by rubbing a nail brush with some white chalk. Gently sweep under your nails. The brush will dust away dirt while the chalk gives your nails a bright, white finish. Flickr / Pat (Cletch) Williams 13. Small scratches on your walls can easily be covered up with chalk that matches the paint color. Flickr / athriftymrs.com (via 22 Words) Then again, we definitely won’t judge you if you use the chalk to start up a game of hopscotch with the neighborhood moms and dads…it’s fun!

Let’s be honest, for years we’ve tied our shoes without using the top lace holes in our sneakers. Or maybe you use them, but they don’t add much to your walking experience. Why are they there? What do they do? They’ve got to have a purpose, right? Well, it turns out that not only do they have a function, but it’s actually pretty epic when you discover the difference it makes in your shoe-wearing experience. Don’t believe us? Just see for yourself… Now don’t we all feel pretty silly for never figuring that out? Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/shoelace-hole/

Even as toddlers, we learn so much about the intricacies of this planet. Gravity sucks, food is good, and things can disappear and reappear through the magic incantation of “peek-a-boo!” But when one little girl was told by her dad that snow comes from the sky…well, it was just too absurd for her to handle! “Daddy is funny!” she said, disparaging her father as the Catholic Church once did Galileo. Even Mom seemed to find the notion daffy, and she quickly joined in on the giggling. Now that I’m thinking about it, she might have a point. You’re telling me that clouds create billions of dandruff-like flakes out of ice, and each flake is completely unique? That sounds like a dumb idea, even for Dad!
