A boy holds his dog in Santa Izabel do Rio Negro, in Amazonas state, northern Brazil, on Nov. 5.

And they call it Puppy Love

Coming across this frame today, and still reeling from the thousands of images of political coverage, volcanic explosions and tropical storms - I gotta say, it's just what I needed.

If you feel compelled, share the feeling of this photo with anyone who may just need a reward for making it through Monday unscathed.

 Awww, it's so warm and fuzzy and sweet and yes, a welcome change from the carnage, manmade and naturally occurring, that has dominated the media lately.  All hail puppy love and the innocence of a child to fully appreciate it!

Pure joy... that's what I see on his face. Looking at the picture, it seems that his circumstances might not be great, but he has joy just the same... we could learn alot from him!
