Here I am enjoying breakfast, and with my own cat near me, and watching this, I can't help but feel how grateful I am to live the way that I do when so many other people and animals experience hardships. I try to do what I can, donating to charities and helping homeless sometimes, but I know it's not enough. Whenever I'm cuddling with my cat and there's a storm or it's snowing outside, I remind her how lucky she is to have a warm and loving home. Videos like this remind myself the same thing.

[@dejectedsmilez]

And this is why that propaganda works on you.

[@thunderatigervideo]

It’s hard for compassionate people (and I think all good pet owners are compassionate people) to see hardship and know that whatever they do to help won’t solve it. That’s why it’s important to remember that there are many compassionate people in the world. They tend to be quiet, so it’s easy to forget they’re around. But when you do something to help, you’re adding to something much bigger. There are other people helping, too. So wherever you are and whatever you do, if you’re helping others abroad or others on your own street corner, you aren’t alone in your efforts. Your small help adds to everyone else’s small help, and together it becomes the force that changes lives.

[@noahschultz9031]

I’m so happy they were able to escape that hell hole warzone, and I hope they can return back to their home one day once the war is finally over and live peacefully.

This is so heartwarming, I'm so thankful they were able to escape! Unfortunately many heartless people leave animals back and escape by themselves.. i remember last year when the fires were going on in my country, a lot of them were leaving their dogs behind and it was breaking my heart.. Me and my mother didnt have a way to leave and others didn't want to help us because we wanted to take our Bella(our wonderful doggie) and our cats. I simply said that if they don't leave with us, I'm going to burn with them. At some point a couple agreed to help us all but thankfully the fire didn't reach our houses. Thankfully now i have my man and he drives, we will live together so we won't have any problem anymore but still it's so disgusting how people leave behind the most precious souls.
