According to her daughter, [Lucille Ball never considered herself a feminist,]( but there's no question she blazed many a trail for women. A working mother in real life, she depicted issues facing housewives with her [brilliant television comedy]( and became the first female studio head in Hollywood. She broke glass ceilings but wasn't particularly outspoken about [women's rights](.

She didn't even want to look at Kanaka when he first entered the kennel to sit with her. That all changed as he took the time to sit with her and earn her trust. Kanaka has gained a huge following on YouTube with his videos [sitting with shelter dogs](, and his way with them is truly inspiring.
