A Little Bit of Awesome: 1/30/2020 Edition

Here’s a little bit of cute for your day.


The founder of a company called WeatherTech just paid $6 million for a Super Bowl ad that asks people to donate to the University of Wisconsin’s veterinary school after they saved his dog’s life. It’ll air sometime during the second quarter, but they released it early on YouTube. The dog’s name is Scout. He starred in a Super Bowl ad for WeatherTech last year, but this one’s for the vets who saved him.


A guy in England recorded his nearly four-year-old daughter singing a song she wrote called “Dinosaurs In Love”. He accompanies her on piano as she sings about dinosaurs falling in love, eating people, having a party, eating fruit and cucumber . . . and then a big bang came and they died.

You may have seen a video last fall of a subway rider singing Bon Jovi’s “Living on a Prayer” at the top of his lungs. The other riders left him alone, except for one woman who sang a verse. Well, he’s at it again. Same song, different location. He’s belting it out on a park bench, and after about 20 seconds everyone in the vicinity is singing with him.

Here’s the original video, in case you missed it.
