That is why we have gathered some big and small stories that happened recently and could actually inspire you and give you some hope.

These are truly positive news from around the world to make us all so much more optimistic.

We sure need that right now.

Introducing a creative and fascinating comic, 'The Last Human,' by the talented Zack.

The premise for this interesting, yet oddly wholesome, comic is explained on WebToons, "She's the galaxy's worst nightmare: a Human. Fortunately, she's the last one. Now her adoptive (alien) mother is realizing that raising a young Human is no easy task."

And if comics aren't your thing, you can read the first chapter of 'The Last Human' online, and the full novel is available on Amazon.

It's the little things that help to lift our spirits and set the most wonderful examples to us all.

Take Ethan Dearman, who works as a security guard at British supermarket "Morrisons", for example.

The big-hearted man took pity on a golden retriever who had been tied in a pole outside while his owner went shopping. As the rain came down, Ethan opened his big umbrella and offered the wet pooch some shelter. 

His selfless act was caught on camera and went viral, attracting more than 140,000 reactions from people praising the security guard for his kind actions.

Morrisons retweeted the picture on to their own social media and added: "It's going to be a wet week so we've issued nine thousand Morrisons umbrellas to keep our customers – and their dogs – dry. It's good to see that it is already happening in our Giffnock store."

The security guard replied: "I didn't think I'd go viral on twitter like this. I knew I was making people smile but this is something else entirely, lol." Many asked why the dog was tied up in the rain in the first place to which Ethan explained: "It wasn't raining when he was tied there and since I can't move another's dog I thought using an umbrella would be a good compromise."

We need more people like Ethan in our world.  

Ready to smile? Because we've got a huge haul of adopted faces this week! 

Due to our lack of adopted faces last week -- we had two weeks to catch up on and my goodness, there are a lot of beauties that found their forever home! 

We wholeheartedly thank those who have adopted, providing animals with a loving, comfortable, and warm home. There's literally nothing better. 

For those of you who are thinking about getting a pet, just remember; adopt, don't shop.

We don't need our pets to tell us they love us, they show it in so many ways...you just have to notice them. 

Here are a few ways our beloved pets show us how much they love us:

1. Just how happy they are to see us. Always. I don't know about you, but every time I enter the room where my cat is currently residing -- he gets so excited! When if it's only been 5 minutes since our last encounter. Our pets are so ecstatic just to be near us! Think about that!

2. Those eyes. Who needs words when you have those deep, super-duper loving eyes staring into your soul? That says more than enough. 

3. The little gentle touches, or quirks, they do. For example, your cat may run up to you and stop right before reaching you and suddenly turn to the left or right, but doing so right in front of you. They want you to make that extra step and love them back. And we 100% do, every time. 

Our pets adore us and we adore them. We figure it's a good moment to go give them a big hug and kiss. 

Happy Father's Day to all the amazing dads out there! And if you're a father of a pet -- Happy Father's Day to you, too! 

Here's a special shout out to all those tough-exterior dads who didn't want a pet... but it turns out, having one opened up that jelly center of theirs and now they can't imagine life without those fur faces. Happy Father's Day to all the pet dad's in the world! 

What would life be without fluffy ones?

Our furry friends continue to provide us with all the reasons to feel better.  

We have compiled a list of animal tweets that are equal parts wholesome and hilarious.

You're welcome.  

While many people would hesitate to adopt a disabled dog because they are concerned that they might not be able to take care of the pet's needs adequately, Aiden Michael Mann, a veterinary assistant, knew he was definitely up to the task.

He adopted a deaf and partially blind miniature Australian shepherd named Plum and the two became a perfect match!  

Although he was worried at first, when the two of them finally met, Aiden knew he had made the right choice.

Once Aiden brought Plum home, the real work began. He needed time to adjust to her needs, and she needed time to adapt to him and her new environment. Aiden taught her to sit when touched under the chin, and he also taught her to follow. To do so, he would gently guide her nose in the direction he wanted her to go in. 

Aiden posts on his Instagram page videos and photos from their daily life together and it's heart-melting!  

These pictures of animals offering humans their silent support is so heartwarming and beautiful!

It's hard to describe the joy and love our pets bring into our lives but this list does a good job of showing what animal love is like. 

Nothing more beautiful than love. 

Judith Quinlan is the proud owner of Victoria Cat hotel, a cat-sitting service, in Victoria, British Columbia. 

After getting many cancellations amid the COVID-19 pandemic, She decided to put the space to good use. 

Great initiative, Judith! 

Dogs may be man's best friend, but they don't limit their love to just humans. These dog friendships transcend size and species—it's almost too adorable to handle. 

Thank you, @WeRateDogs, for these uplifting content! 

The coronavirus outbreak is causing massive disruption to the U.S. economy as global supply chains break down, travel is canceled and people practice "social distancing," avoiding everything from restaurants and retail outlets to conferences and office meetings. 

Actually, one-fifth of U.S. workers already report losing hours or work because of the pandemic.

The Helen Woodward Animal Center Center in San Diego has decided to do its part to ensure that all pet owners will be able to take care of their animals during these rough days of financial instability. 

Animals bring something more than love into our lives, for some, they bring reason for living. 

That's the case for Imgur user, klandon, when he came across Bindhi. His newfound light in life. 

Kladon rescued Bindhi, and Bindhi rescued him right back.
