Grab Your 'Lap Elephant' And Cozy Up With The Best Viral Stories You Might've Missed Last Week

When you start your Monday with good news and a delicious breakfast, it can lead to a great day. So we’ve partnered with Jimmy Dean to bring you the top feel-good stories happening across the country, perfect for sharing with family and friends. They remind us that together, we can make the world a better place.

If The Weather Hasn’t Quite Warmed Your Heart Yet
Just watch this incredibly adorable video of Meg, an 11-year-old yellow Lab, nuzzling her new BFF -- a baby bunny no bigger than Meg’s muzzle. David Jackson, Meg’s human, says the pooch actually saved the little critter from a pair of hungry ravens before helping it back to the safety of its nest.

If You Prefer ‘Real Books’ Over The Digital Variety
Know that this library is thriving after a gutsy invite on social media prompted a visit from J.K. Rowling. The Orkney Library in Scotland magically persuaded the renowned author to attend a book club meeting to discuss The Cuckoo’s Calling, written by Rowling under her pseudonym Robert Galbraith -- over Twitter. How, you ask? With promises of a cake with lemon drizzle!

If You Need A Reason To Smile
Bare your teeth for this dentist, who provides free treatment to survivors of domestic violence. Dr. Tina Meisami, a Toronto-based dentist, founded Project Restoring Smiles in 2011. Since then, she and her growing organization have done more than $200,000 worth of free dental work for 45 patients.

If You’re Sad That You No Longer Fit In Your Parent’s Lap
Know that you’re never too big for a quality cuddle session. Take a cue from these baby elephants, who won’t take “no” for an answer when it comes to finding a comfy spot on your lap -- despite weighing nearly 200 pounds.

If You Need A Good Laugh
Check out this drink company’s response to receiving “For Her” pens on International Women’s Day. Staff at U.K. smoothie company Innocent took the hilarious road, posting pictures online featuring the product and snarkily penned signs -- with commentary like, “I wrote this all by myself” -- to let everyone know exactly where they thought the pens belonged. Which is, of course, in the trash.
