It's not new news, but a couple of weeks ago I saw some deer crossing the road not far from where I work, which for me is extremely unusual.

Positive News Stories! :smile:
I would like to find out if you know of any happy news stories. Stories of heroism. Stories of cute animals. Sweet and fluffy stories. My goal is to have a positive and upbeat thread in the Civics section! So, please no derails complaining about politics or other negative stuff. That is for other threads. Not for this one.
A cop saved a girl from a house fire! http://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/Her...444530823.html Well, it stonks that the house caught on fire, but hey! The girl was saved!
