Junkyard Dog Walks Four Miles Every Night To Feed Other Strays

We’ve seen some pretty unbelievable animal stories here at LittleThings, but it doesn’t get much more amazing than this.

When you think about homeless, hungry dogs, you probably don’t immediately think about them being friendly or eager to help others, but every once in a while you’ll hear about a stray who puts others first. 

The following story is out of San Carlos, Brazil, a poor city where a dog living in a junkyard has become the community’s biggest hero. Lilica is a mutt who was abandoned at a junkyard and quickly took a liking to the owner and his children who live there. They must have seen something kind behind the dog’s sad eyes, because what Lilica started to do every night completely shocked them. After giving birth to a litter of eight pups, Lilica began searching the town at night for food to feed her babies.

She would walk 4 miles, hoping to return home with food for her family, but when she got there, she would even share with the other animals living in the junkyard. Lilica quickly gained fans in the community and they decided to do something to help this kindhearted pup.

We can learn so much from amazing animals like Lilica. If you enjoyed this story, please go ahead and SHARE it with your friends on Facebook!

Coconut Oil Can Miraculously Fix All Your Teeth Problems, And Save You A Ton Of Money Too

Everyone has encountered coconut oil in all its wonder in some capacity by now. I mean, it's essentially considered the elixir of life nowadays (it's the next kale). It's great for your skin, healing scars, curing infections, calming split ends, and whitening nails. But, did you know it's actually fantastic for your teeth, too? I mean anything that will help with everyone's complete and utter distaste for flossing is a great thing!
Some things to consider though, make sure it's unrefined, virgin coconut oil, none of that processed garbage. You can find it at health food stores but also pretty much any grocery store now due to immense popularity.

What do I do? 

Well, you take 2 tablespoons of coconut oil and swish it around like mouthwash for five minutes (it'll feel like a real long time but it's so worth it!) and then spit it out.
It may feel a little uncomfortable at first—swishing oil around in your mouth—but the benefits are definitely worth it. This is one of the best ways to supplement flossing, an imperative but often neglected aspect of oral hygiene.

So what does the coconut oil do? 

Well, coconut oil is naturally antibacterial so it immediately combats hidden bacteria and removes plaque which is at the core of many cavity-causing problems.

 

And the specific health benefits are? 

You reduce the risk of gingivitis, rid yourself of nasty breath, and, best of all, you lower the risk of particular mouth cancers.
It does sound odd and a little hard to imagine but honestly, just try it once and you'll definitely be won over.
