At 19-years-old, Aoife Isabella Malone moved to a small town in Scotland. Here, she planned to study fashion. She no doubt hoped this move would be life-changing — but she never thought it would lead to a friendship quite like this one. While working at Ladbrokes, a popular spot in the UK to place bets on sports, Aoife met a man named Tommy. This man visited Ladbrokes frequently, and it was clear to Aoife that he was lonely. His wife died the year before. Thanks to his frequent visits, the two of them got to talking. It only took a few days for Aoife to realize what a sweetheart her new elderly friend was, inspiring her to ask if she could join him for bingo night. TikTok Understandably, Aoife’s friends were a bit concerned. The 19-year-old was planning to go out at night with a man she didn’t know well, after all. So, three of her friends joined them for bingo, and the night was amazing! From here, the two of them only grew closer, with Aoife visiting his home a few times a week. TikTok It’s amazing how quickly these two became besties. Tommy would sometimes cook food for Aoife and she’d take him out to the shops. They also loved going to the movies, or to “the pictures,” as Tommy would call them. Aoife even got to include Tommy as a model in one of her college projects — and he killed it, as you can see below! Teen Unexpectedly Makes an Elderly Friend, Changing Her Life Forever TikTok Over the years, their friendship only grew deeper. Tommy helped teach Aoife to drive. She introduced Tommy to more of her friends. And when she moved to Edinburg, giving her quite a commute, Tommy would meet Aoife and her friends at the station to drive them to school. “We’d take him out for dinner, watch the six nations at his house and even had a surprise birthday party for him one year,” Aoife shares. TikTok The two of them stayed close even when Aoife moved to NYC for a job. She was there when the COVID pandemic started, but she still found ways to ensure her elderly friend didn’t get too lonely. This helped both Tommy and Aoife during this isolating time. So much has changed since Tommy and Aoife first met — but their friendship continues to grow. In fact, they recently celebrated nine years of friendship. TikTok Woman’s Friendship With Elderly Man Stays Strong After Nearly a Decade Tommy is in a care home how, but at 98 years old, he’s as sharp as ever. Plus, they still visit one another every six weeks or so. Truly, their friendship is like one straight from “the pictures!” TikTok “You probably gave him more years to his life, gave him something to look forward to and helped through loneliness, you’re an angel,” someone points out in the comments of Aoife’s post, with another adding, “This is the loveliest thing I’ve ever seen in my life. You are wonderful.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here! The post Woman Shares Sweet Story Of How She Befriended A Lonely 89-Year-Old appeared first on InspireMore.

What could be better than watching a parade of fluffy Bernese mountain dogs go by?

These pooches looked so happy as they pranced along, tails wagging! Watch the video here. @bramblethebernese So lovely to see at the Bernese Garden Party #bernesemountaindog #bernesemountaindogpuppy #swissdogs #carting #dogswithjobs #fyp #brambleandivy_bmd ♬ Berggeist-Schottisch – Ländlerkapelle Martin Beeler As the parade went by, each Bernese mountain dog proudly pulled a cart behind them. These vehicles were individually decorated with beautiful floral arrangements, most of them bearing the Swiss flag. Among these majestic pooches trotted a tiny puppy on a leash. Although this dog was too small to pull a cart, they still looked very excited to be included in the celebration! This adorable video has received over a million views on social media. Commenters thought it was too cute to see these Bernese mountain dogs pulling their beautiful carts with so much enthusiasm! “I love how proud they all are for doing such a good job,” wrote one user. Another joked, “Am do job. Am pull cart. Am good boy.” Bernese mountain dogs are literally born workers. Screengrab from TikTok According to Dogster, Bernese mountain dogs actually have a long history of doing this exact type of work on Swiss farms. Originally, these pooches were bred to be herding dogs. As the 20th century rolled in, though, agricultural practices changed. People were keeping livestock on their property rather than herding them in from the mountains. So, they trained their trusty pooches to pull carts instead! Although the modern farmer no longer requires the assistance of Bernese mountain dogs to transport their goods, these pups still love a good haul. So, some owners train these canines to pull carts in sporting events. The dogs involved in the Bernese Garden Party certainly looked happy to be participating in this activity!
