Boxer dog hailed ‘hero' for saving epileptic bulldog brother during seizure; video goes viral: ‘Yogi would not be alive today'
You've probably seen clips of dogs stepping in to protect their humans from danger, sensing trouble before it hits. But in a recent incident, a dog turned hero not for a person, but for his fellow four-legged friend. In Milford, Connecticut, United States, a French bulldog named Yogi, who suffers from severe epilepsy, was home alone with his younger brother Reggie, a 16-month-old boxer. Their owner, Sarah McArdle Strilka, wasn't home when Yogi suddenly had a seizure. But Reggie sprang into action. Surveillance footage captured Reggie's instinctive response. Despite having only seen one seizure before, he rushed to Yogi's side – nudging him, pacing around, and keeping him upright to prevent choking or aspiration. For nearly three hours, Reggie stayed by his brother's side, offering support and comfort until Strilka returned. 'As soon as Yogi started seizing when I wasn't home, Reggie jumped into action,' she told Storyful. 'If it wasn't for Reggie, Yogi would not be alive today.' The touching video, shared by multiple Instagram accounts including @sarahmcardlestrilka, quickly went viral. You can watch it here: A post shared by CBS News (@cbsnews) Many users responded to the video. One user commented, 'Animal nature is incredible. Empathy is engrained. We sure do have a lot to learn from them.' Another user wrote, 'The way he looked around for his humans to help and realizing that no one was there so it was up to him to save his buddy.' A third person asked, 'How do you leave your dog alone that has epilepsy?' A fourth user said, 'Reggie is now a certified support dog for Yogi. Their natural instincts sense the smell of the dog. It's just like they are trained for humans for these same reasons.'

This Nun's Words About Women In The Catholic Church Are Going Viral
Sister Rose Pacatte from the Daughters of St. Paul has been a nun for nearly 60 years and currently lives in Rome. She was interviewed by Norah O'Donnell in the Vatican before the Conclave, and that interview is going viral: @cbsnews/ First off, I love how excited she gets when she sees Norah O'Donnell. Very cute. Secondly, it's completely wild that she predicted that Cardinal Prevost would become Pope. HER MIND. Related: Justin Trudeau's Shady Comment Toward Donald Trump Is Going Super Viral And thirdly, her wisdom about women in the Catholic Church is just so sincere. Norah asked Sister Rose if she wanted women to have a bigger role in the Catholic Church, and Sister Rose's insightful answer is resonating with a ton of people. "I am almost 60 years a nun. People need to realize if there's a problem, and women are not part of the solution, it will not be solved in any type of long-term meaningful way," she says. "Women have to always be part of the solution. I think Pope Francis brought us a lot closer than anyone has ever brought us. I still think that there will be a women's diaconate. And the only reason they don't have it, I think, is because they're afraid."

And maybe not all of them, I don't want to generalize to everybody," she says. Well, people are loving her response/aura/everything. "She is so correct, intelligent and gentle," one person said. "I'm telling my children she is the pope," another person commented. And then a bunch of people are pointing out that she's wearing high-heeled running shoes. Obsessed.

Golden Retriever's Sweet Playtime with Toddlers at Children's Hospital Is Melting Hearts Everywhere
There's no doubt that dogs have the magical power to heal. Their presence alone has been shown to reduce anxiety, boost mood, and put a smile on your face. Golden Retriever and therapy dog, Maui, offers her healing powers to ailing little ones at a New Jersey children's hospital, and for one scared little boy named Josiah, an interaction with her is everything. Therapy dogs like Maui are true blessings to everyone they encounter and little Josiah's reaction is proof. Watch their precious moment together and let it lift you up the way it lifted him. The too pure scene shared by @cbsnews is the reason why therapy dogs are so important. Golden Retrievers are among the most chosen pups for service or therapy work because of their naturally friendly temperament and calm, sweet disposition, so it's not surprising Maui's able to help Josiah feel less afraid of the hospital. As the cation reads, Josiah and Maui's interaction filled the whole room with joy, further proving dogs are too good. Many took to the comments to praise sweet Maui for her work. "This is so adorable, it literally made me cry. I hope Josiah is doing okay and Maui is there for him always!" one person wrote. Another offered word of hope adding, "This is the most precious friendship! I hope that this beautiful baby is restored to health and that one day, he's well enough to leave the hospital behind to have fun in the sunshine with his sweet Maui friend."As noted in the post, Children's Specialized Hospital credits "play and pet therapy" in Josiah's recovery. According to Shriner's Children's, their pediatric care relies on the use of pet therapy because they "provide wraparound care that our doctors cannot prescribe," and that's a spot-on statement because it's true. Along with stress and fear reduction, animal-assisted therapies offer hope, and it's not just for children. Therapy dogs like Maui do important work providing comfort and positivity in an otherwise tense or fearful situation. Their worth cannot be measured for all they do. For hospitals like CSH or Shriners, these pups provide children with a welcome distraction from impending procedures or surgeries they might otherwise dread and any parent knows how much that helps. Besides that, the joy of these furry interactions just make people happy, contributing to an overall better wellbeing. Evidence-based benefits these cuties provides include increased confidence and wellbeing, calm, relaxation, adjustment to a hospital setting (especially for long-term, child patients), and ultimately, healing. All of this to say, keep up the good work, Maui. You're literally saving lives! 🐶🐾🐾
