Hello, and welcome to the round up of good news stories for this week.
When you visit the dentist, you don’t typically expect them to tell you the client just before you happened to be… uh, a narwhal?…

And speaking of diverse interests; these 50+ year olds are showing everyone that you’re never too old to run away and join the circus!
Many of the members of this trapeze school report higher levels of mental and physical wellbeing.
Bruno the dog’s shelter never gave up on him. For 473 days, they cared for him and helped to rehabilitate his behavioural issues.
Now, after all that time, Bruno has been taken in by Ring Dog Rescue, a non-profit organisation dedicated to helping “put bull type dogs”. The organisation will provide Bruno with professional training and care to prepare him for adoption.

Finally, the time-tested card game of bridge is drawing young and old players alike.
Bridge is one of two “mind sports” recognised by the International Olympic Committee – the other being chess.
Players like 13-year-old Aadhi Hariharan and 25-year-old Damon Flicker highlight the game’s appeal across generations, with its blend of strategy, social interaction, and intellectual challenge.
