In Vancouver, British Columbia, Mara Soriano was moving when she had items stolen from her backpack. The items were important documents, an iPad, and the most important, a teddy bear. This wasn't just a teddy bear, it was special. The bear had a voice recording of Soriano's late mother, who had passed away in 2019. 

Safe to say, it was irreplaceable. 

Soriano told CBC, "At hospice her voice was different. Much softer. Not the mom I grew up with. That bear is the last memory I have of her speaking in her normal voice."

Anyone else's eyes getting a bit (or a lot) misty? 

We're just so happy to find out this heartbreaking tale does have a happy ending. Read on to see the full story:

Chewy is back at it with the most caring and thoughtful customer service. You may recall a story from earlier this year where Chewy sent heartwarming message to a woman who was grieving the loss of her beloved cat, well, this story is just more confirmation as to what we already know -- Chewy has the best customer service. 

Joseph Inabnet, reached out to the food retailer when he no longer needed an unopened bag of dog food. Inabnet had just put down his beloved pug, Bailey, and asked Chewy he could return the unopened food. Not only did Chewy refund him the entire amount (without asking for a return), they asked him to please donate the food to a local shelter instead. 

And just when you think the story has ended, Joseph gets an unexpected message in the mail. 

These People Show That It Takes Nothing Away From You to be kind to animals. Truly inspirational. 

Morgan Dennis (1892-1960) was an American artist and writer who is most often remembered for his images of dogs. These posters, by Morgan Dennis, were produced for the American Humane Association's Be Kind to Animals Week during the 1930s. Each poster featured a child performing a kind act, reflecting the organization's educational approach. 

There are millions of stray animals that roam our city streets. What do they do when the weather gets cold? They have to find shelter somewhere, or they may die. One kind hearted woman from Turkey built a ladder for the neighborhood stray cats to use. Call it a stairway to heaven.
