    Imagine loving beating your dog so much that you’re willing to kill someone over it.

      We can only print the names of school shooters and unconvicted CEO killers 😤

      If it bleeds, it leads. Good news is all over the place, you’re just not told about it because it doesn’t get eyes. Even this can be viewed as good news. This man’s act of kindness, while he died for it, ended up sparking a lot of feelings for people and creating a moment of people realizing the importance of standing up for those who cannot defend themselves. While I don’t wish this on someone, how noble that Bobby is now known as the guy who stood up for a defenseless animal. Remember Mr. Roger’s “look for the helpers” comment.

        Thankfully I’ve already found and subscribed to c/upliftingnews, but it’s not nearly as active as I’d ideally hope it to be ☹️

          I feel like I’ve seen a few things recently that would be suitable, but I can’t recall them right now (my mind always goes blank when I try to summon memories like this). Your comment has caused me to make a mental note to try posting there if I stumble across anything suitable.

    Even if he didn’t save that particular dog, he probably saved another now that a dog beater is behind bars.
