1 [Police officer fights through tornado to save his K-9 partner]( Dogs really are man's best friend and a police officer in Deer Park, Texas went through a literal tornado to prove it. Recently a tornado tore through the [Texas town destroying buildings]( and whipping debris around making the outdoors a hostile environment. But when [officer Joel Nitchman]( the tornado was barreling down while his K-9 partner was still in the car, he jumped into action. Nitchman told [KHOU]( that the two had just came back from training when the wind began picking up and he knew he needed to get to his dog, "the thought of debris or the car flipping over. I couldn't do that to him. I couldn't have him out there during that." The officer's K-9, Roni has been in several situations where he put himself in danger to help Nitchman according to the officer, this time his human returned the favor. The entire thing was caught on surveillance cameras and it's quite the sight. At one point in the video you can't even see the police car because the wind and rain is so strong.

While he was answering questions from the media, a child sitting on the shoulders of a man was introduced as 7-year-old Joseph. He went ahead and asked, “Many people say you’re their hero but who is your hero?” Brady was impressed by the question and repeated it just to make sure. He said, “That’s a great question.” Brady continued, “I think my Dad is my hero as he is someone I look upto every day.” He got emotional saying this and even had tears in his eyes. The media was astounded as well because no one had ever witnessed Brady becoming this emotional during a media event, per [Essentially Sports](. Brady’s father, Tom Brady Sr., has been a constant support in the player’s life. Even as Brady has decided to retire from Football at 45, his father has been as supportive as he was in his entire career.

The process of making foie gras is considered extremely cruel, requiring the liver to become abnormally enlarged from a disease called [hepatic steatosis](. This is caused by gavaging, a process in which the bird is force-fed exorbitant amounts of food through a long metal tube being shoved down its throat, pumping in so much food that the liver swells up to ten times its normal size. Hence why the food item is so expensive, priced at [$40-$80 per pound]( and banned in both New York and California as well as a handful of countries. However, one farmer in Spain makes foie gras using no gavaging and no force-feeding. He doesn't even use cages. His foie gras costs twice as much at a little over $200 for a 180-gram jar. But here’s why it’s worth every penny. [Read the story]( 4 [Rescue dog saves her blind sister from drowning and it was caught on video]( Who's a good dog? That's a question dog owners ask often just because their dogs merely exist. Of course, the answer will always and forever be, "You are!" to whatever dog you're speaking to. But some dogs take their status of good girl or good boy to a whole new dimension, elevating them from just a good dog to the goodest dog. Yes, I know goodest isn't a word, but dogs don't know that. Dogs don't speak our language and certainly don't understand the rules of grammar, but that doesn't stop them from being the best full-body-wagging companions there are, and it doesn't stop them from claiming their "goodest dog" title. Today that title goes to Caipirinha, the rescue dog who saved her blind sister after she fell into the pool.

One toy designer-turned-acorn artist has tapped straight into that wonder with the worlds he creates for his "Becorns" and the creatures who stumble upon them. Becorns are [David Bird's]( name for the tiny characters he creates out of acorns and sticks. He has made over 100 of them, all with different personalities and names (such as Bing, Cooper, Big Boone and Vildegarde), and they are absolutely precious.
