When it comes to using the stairs, mastering the art was a trial by fire for this puppy. While following her mom downstairs one day, the little husky tried her best to slink down each Mount Olympus-sized step. She made it a few steps down before getting scared and hightailing it back up…which ultimately proved to be her undoing. (Spoiler: she’s fine in the end!) Poor girl! That’s one tough pup. Huskies were originally bred for trudging across the Siberian tundra, so they’re resilient. The stairs surely won’t foil her plans again! Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/husky-stairs/
googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DTBT_ATF’); }); When it comes to presidential election coverage, I typically try to avoid it at all costs by watching trashy reality shows with a bottle of wine. However, this presidential cycle has proven to be the gift that keeps on giving, so I decided to watch Sunday’s second presidential debate. Boy am I glad I did, because it was basically reality television — without the table flipping and drink throwing. During Sunday’s town-hall style debate, Donald Trump talked about the comments he made during a TV interview. He referenced sexually harassing women, but during the debate, he brushed his words off as nothing more than traditional “locker room talk.” Since Trump’s remarks have sparked controversy with a variety of male athletes, we here at ViralNova thought we’d look into the other kinds of things that go on in locker rooms. It’s quite shocking what we found out. 1. There’s a lot of pumping fellow teammates up for the big game. 2. Not everyone is able to keep cool during high-pressure situations, though. 3. Sometimes you overhear some weird things in locker rooms… 4. For instance, grown men screaming like constipated moose. 5. When it all comes down to it, though, locker rooms are for sports teams celebrating wins. Read More: 26 Things That Would’ve Been More Fun Than Watching Last Night’s Debate 6. Occasionally, you might hear a teammate pumping themselves up to hit the court. 7. Others choose to simply dance like no one’s watching. 8. Some athletes use their locker rooms as a refreshing place to shower. 9. The locker room can also be a space where a player’s anxiety comes out. 10. Locker rooms can also be utilized for completely pointless — but awesome — displays of athleticism. 11. I know for a fact that the locker room at one high school has served as the prime location to spontaneously break out into song. 12. Sometimes, you can hear grown men crying in a locker room — if you’re really lucky. 13. In recent years, locker rooms have become the prime location for supernatural activity.

At times, things may get a bit awkward… Bottom line, I think we can all agree that when someone says this in a locker room… They don’t mean go sexually assault a woman. Shaq knows what we’re sayin’.

It’s probably safe to say that we all have a pretty good grasp on what makes our four-legged friends happy. And that’s because they make no secret of their enthusiasm when it’s time to eat or go for a long walk on a sunny day! The language barrier poses a problem, though. I mean, how much do we really know about what thrills our pets? That’s where the folks at Nikon come in. By strapping a Coolpix L31 camera to a precious pup by the name of Grizzler, they created a little window into the canine soul. This technology responds to elevations in heart rate and snaps photos whenever Grizzler starts getting excited, allowing us to get a taste of the little wonders that make his day. Called “Heartography,” this process captures photos from a dog’s-eye view whenever Grizzler gets pumped. Here’s a little sampling of what he loves! Beautiful scenery? I feel you, man. YouTube / Nikon Asia Who doesn’t love finding treasure? YouTube / Nikon Asia Making friends is always a blast! YouTube / Nikon Asia And it’s so much better when those newfound friendships are totally unexpected. YouTube / Nikon Asia Mushrooms? I mean, whatever floats your boat, Grizz. YouTube / Nikon Asia If you want to follow this adorable guy around for the day, check out more of his adventures below! That’s so cool. What would your dog’s photos look like if you turned them into a photographer for the day? I’m pretty sure my pup’s collection would be very food-centric.

Larsen Jay is a man who thoroughly believes that flowers not only bring joy to people’s lives, but that they also have the power to heal. In 2007, Jay was confined to a hospital bed after falling from a ladder. The accident meant he had to endure a long and painful recovery, but fortunately for him, he received plenty of visitors bearing gifts of cards and flowers. Once he got better and was able to move around the hospital, Jay noticed that there were plenty of rooms without any blooms. That’s when he decided to do his best to brighten people’s lives by passing his bouquets on to others. Thus Random Acts of Flowers was born. Now a full-fledged non-profit organization based in Knoxville, Tennessee, it brings a dash of color and a smile to people’s lives! What an inspiring and beautiful story. It put a huge smile on my face, and now I want to share the joy by giving someone a bouquet of flowers! Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/random-acts-of-flowers/
A team of firefighters in Auckland, New Zealand, banded together to help a distraught mother duck after her ducklings fell down a storm drain. The team of heroes formed an assembly line to pull the tiny babies out while the notably anxious mom duck watched. The moment the chirping cuties are reunited with their mother is one that will put a huge smile on your face. I’m so glad someone took the time to get a closer look at that drain once they heard the quacks coming from it. It’s people like these fine firefighters that make the world a better place. I’m sure this momma duck will be forever grateful for their kindness. Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/ducklings/
When it comes to home construction (or any kind of construction, really) safety should always be your primary concern. If you’re not taking steps to ensure no bodily harm comes to you or those around you, then that’s just plain dumb. For example, one thing you should never do when building something is use your own hand as a hammer. I wish this was just a hypothetical, but sadly, it’s not, as you can see in the video below. It’s equal parts horrifying and impressive. Well that’s going to leave a mark. Hopefully he has really good health insurance and his employer is all paid up on their premiums!

A puppy named Meesha had to be put under while she was spayed, and when she woke up after the anesthesia wore off, she was understandably confused. The poor pup started whimpering, and that’s when Dennis Moses, a surgical assistant at BARCS Animal Shelter in Baltimore, Maryland, comforted the pooch by taking her in his arms. Something tells me that this man is a father. He seems like a pro when it comes to making little ones feel better! Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/vet-comforts-dog/
Living in total misery, two young pit bulls named Lois and Clark lived under a truck until fairly recently. Starving and in desperate need of medical attention, they weren’t going to last much longer in that state. That’s when a few volunteers from Hope for Paws heard about their situation and decided that enough was enough. They struggled a bit at first, but after some coaxing, they were able to wrangle the terrified pups. When they started warming up to rescuers, the adorable pair revealed that they were actually big softies. Lois and Clark are now looking for a forever home, and the folks at Hope for Paws really want to find a family that will let them stay together. If you’d like to help them, please consider sharing their story and directing people in the Los Angeles area to the shelter. Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/homeless-pit-bulls/

Many people think that they are helping the elderly by donating money to charities or volunteering at local food drives. While these are excellent displays of solidarity, more direct acts of kindness are usually the most effective. With that in mind, these people got their hands dirty when one of their neighbors needed help. A 90-year-old woman named Agnes turned to her neighbors when she found herself in a bad place. She was facing steep fines because her house was deemed “too dirty,” and she was told that the government would take action if she didn’t clean up. Luckily for Agnes, some kind people came to the rescue. (via Wimp) Who could possibly fine her now? Never underestimate the generosity of strangers! Kudos to these people for helping out a woman when she needed them most. Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/elderly/
