Reunion ‘kiss’ between dog and dolphin
Gunner the dog and Delta the dolphin have been friends for years.
Is there anything – anything – cuter than inter-species friendships? If you think the answer is yes, these photos of Gunner the dog reuniting with his best friend, Delta the dolphin, will change your mind. Over the last few days, social media users have been gushing over pictures of Gunner and Delta that have gone insanely viral everywhere – from Twitter to Facebook to Instagram. Their crazy popularity is not without reason either, because who doesn’t love a good friendship story? Especially, one that involves two of the most adored animals on the Internet.
Gunner and Delta’s ‘aww-dorable’ friendship began when the dog was just an eight-week-old puppy. At that time, Delta the dolphin was four-years-old.
The two met at the Dolphin Research Centre in Florida Keys, which is a non-profit organisation home to a family of dolphins and sea lions. Gunner, who belongs to one of the organisation’s employees, was photographed meeting Delta six years ago, when the dolphin poked its head out of water to greet the pooch.
Almost a week ago, the two were filmed reuniting in photos that were sure to brighten your day. In the pictures, which have created a huge splash on social media with millions of ‘likes’ and ‘shares’ on social media, Gunner the goldie was seen happily licking its water buddy.
A 98-year-old British World War II veteran, Harry Heasman officially became the world’s oldest wing walker when he stood atop a flying plane in England.
He spent more than 9 minutes atop the plane at a height of over 1,000 feet on Saturday at Duxford Airfield in Cambridge.
A Guinness World Records adjudicator was on hand to officially certify Heasman as the world’s oldest wing walker.
“I have dreamed of doing this since I was a young child and to finally live that dream at 98 years old and to be a Guinness World Records title holder is beyond anything I could have ever imagined,” Heasman told Guinness World Records.
The nonagenarian said he spent 11 months working with a physical trainer to get his body and mind ready for the attempt.
His record attempt raised money for the Lennox Children’s Cancer Fund and served as a tribute to his wife and son, who both died after battles with cancer.
“Harry is proof that it is never too late to chase a dream. At 98 years old, what he has achieved is nothing short of extraordinary. Over the last few months, I’ve had the privilege of getting to know him and seeing the determination behind this challenge,” said Lindsey Bidwell, a representative from the Lennox Children’s Cancer Fund.
