This Just MIght Be The. Cutest. Thing. Ever.

The Internet is prone to hyperbole, but, then again, so are we. When we see something amazing it becomes the most amazing thing, like, ever. As the perfect reflection of our own superlative culture, when something starts to go viral online you absolutely must see it because it’s the best, the worst, the sexiest-coolest-most-epic, or, in this case, the cutest. Why is this video of a full-grown canine teaching a puppy how to descend a staircase the cutest thing ever? It isn’t, probably. But it’s got to be close.

Your Dog’s Gonna Flip When He Meets This Ball

Thanks, Nick Fountain.

Thankful? Nuzzle.

Once a year Americans gather around a seasonal feast to pause, reflect and give thanks. Appreciation for good fortune is expressed through sharing homes, food, or even by articulating personal successes or it could be worses to friends and family. But whales? Well, they cuddle.

We know you already have a lot to be thankful for this year, but here’s another, Free Willy-esque reason: An appreciative whale reminding us that nature offers something Good around every corner.

California — December, 2005: A 50-ton humpback whale was found caught in nylon ropes in Farallon Islands, 18 miles outside of San Francisco. A braaaave team decided to execute a daring rescue operation: The only way to save the tangled whale was to dive into the water and cut the ropes, a delicate mission because one swoop of the whale’s fin was enough to knock out and even kill a dude. But this whale was a boss, and acted calm and patient.

James Moskito, one of the rescue divers explained, “When I was cutting the line going through the mouth, its eye was there winking at me, watching me. It was an epic moment of my life.”

According to Moskito and his fellow rescuers, when the whale realized it was free it began swimming around in circles. Moskito said it swam to each diver, nuzzled him, and then nuzzled the next. Because thankful whales cuddle.

Happy Thanksgiving, y’all. Nuzzle some fools.

Thanks, Jimmy.
