From the fine folks at The Dodo, this is a montage video that they call, “Animals make the world magic.” It's done in a style that comes off a bit like a fantasy movie trailer for Disney, and dances a fine line between being saccharine hokey and spectacular. But because there are too many spectacular moments in it, for my taste in lands on the side of spectacular.

From the fine folks at The Dodo, this is a pretty unexpected one. And “pretty unexpected” is an understatement. It’s a wild squirrel who just adores a family’s dog, and comes to visit…almost every day for five years. And there's even a fun, little twist tossed in here, as a bonus. When I saw this on Twitter, the person posting it did so with the comment of -- "Dog goes for the Oscar." That's too perfect. It fits spot on. From the fine folks at The Dodo, this video has 52,000 Likes – and zero Don’t Likes. And as adorable as it is, I think it’s mostly about the guy who is such a caring, nurturing dog parent. And from the comments, most people seem to agree. Yes, this is a bit different Adorable Animal Video from the usual ones I post, but it stands out for its own reason. (It embedded weirdly, so it may look like there's no video below, but it's there, if you just click on the arrow.) The person posting it wrote, "Yeah… I still remember seeing Darth Vader the first time too." We haven't had an Adorable Animal Video from the fine folks at the Dodo in far too long, so today we rectify that with a couple of squirrels video (which, to my friend Rob Hedden, there are few things finer.) Both are about people who took in squirrels in need and what transpired -- similar tales that develop a little differently, but each with Adorable Animal finales. The first is the story of Peanut who is the one who adopted his human family. And the second is about Acorn, who was rescued at a very young age. But grew up to know he had a good idea what he wanted to do with his life. By the way, that sound you hear is Rob calling out, "Jan! Come watch these! This is what I've been telling you is how I want to live. We can do this, right??" And over the many years married, Jan has learned to tolerate him, with a warm smile and tolerant demeanor of a mother towards a rambunctious, curious child... |
