Distressing footage that is being shared around social media shows the heartbreaking moment a woman realizes that her pet golden retriever of eight years has passed away after it was allegedly poisoned by one of her neighbors.
Leewen Zhang, formerly a resident of San Francisco, California, moved to the region of Yubei in Chongqing, southwest China, last year with the intention of moving to Europe later. However, tragedy struck as her dog, Julie, reportedly ate chicken laced with rat poison that was thrown on their lawn by one of her "dog hating" neighbors. Julie died a short while later.
In a detailed Facebook post, Leewen explained her current helpless predicament following the cruel poisoning on October 14. Describing Julie as her "best friend and baby," Leewen wrote how she had adopted the dog when it was just two-months-old and how it had been her assistance dog which was authorized by the state of California.
She said she had moved to China last year but was planning to go to Europe for the long term. Because Julie suffered from heart ailments, Zhang rented an apartment in one of the more well-to-do regions of Yubei but soon found that the area was not conducive for her dog.
Leewen wrote about how she heard that a lot of the residents hated dogs, cursed dogs, and created groups where they could discuss how to kill dogs because they believed that the environment should only be for kids. Furthermore, she said that one of her neighbors abused her and threatened her over four times, even going so far as to say that he would kill her dog.
But just as Leewen was planning to move to Europe after the Chinese New Year this coming February, her dog would be targeted. She explained how "evil people" had wrapped the rat poison into some chicken meat before spreading it on the lawn that Julie loved rolling over.
Zhang said she saw Julie consume the chicken but that she thought nothing of it because she thought it was just some food trash. However, at around 6 pm the same evening, Julie reportedly started to wail and vomit as well as poo blood. Zhang wrote she panicked and started crying, and just 30 minutes later, Julie was no more.
She said she could never forget "her scream, her cry, and her fight for surviving," and that she was still in deep grief over Julie's death. However, because of China's laws against animal cruelty, or lack thereof, it's highly likely that Zhang will never see justice. Police allegedly told her that there was nothing they can do and that hundreds of dogs die by poisoning every day because there were no laws to punish such crimes.
Despite the odds being stacked against her, Zhang said she intends to fight so that no other dog will have to suffer the same fate as Julie. "Julie’s death is sacred," she wrote. " I will not surrender by the current situation. No matter how many difficulties ahead, or even the devils want to kill me. I will keep fighting for animal rights."

Pete Davidson backed out of a previously scheduled comedy gig just days after his split from Ariana Grande.
The Saturday Night Live star was set to headline a “Comedy Night Live” show at Temple University in Philadelphia on Wednesday. The school announced on Tuesday that Davidson, 24, had canceled and would be replaced by Adam DeVine.
“Unfortunately, Pete Davidson will no longer be able to do our homecoming show due to personal reasons,” the school said in a statement.
The news comes as Grande, 25, returned to work on Tuesday, performing “The Wizard and I” during the final taping of Wicked’s 15th anniversary special, which will air on NBC later this month.
“Can’t believe I almost let my anxiety ruin this for me today!” Grande wrote on her Instagram story. “Not today Satan! Not tomorrow or the next day either not no more u can suck my big green d— finna sing my heart out and be a big walking vessel of love bye.”
Noticeably missing on Grande’s left ring finger was the 3-carat, $93,000 pear-shaped diamond engagement ring Davidson proposed to her with in June after just weeks of dating.
Ipresstv confirmed on Sunday that Davidson and Grande had called it quits.
“It was way too much too soon,” a Grande source told ipresstv. “It’s not shocking to anyone.”
The breakup came on the heels of a difficult few weeks for Grande as she came to terms with the loss of former boyfriend Mac Miller, who died from an apparent drug overdose on Sept. 7.
“They’re dealing with things that people wouldn’t have to deal with in a lifetime — an ex-boyfriend reportedly overdosing and having all of this fame and attention,” a Davidson source told IPRESSTV. “These followers and living their lives on social media … it’s a different world.”
“It’s definitely a fresh breakup,” the source added. “But they totally could get back together because who knows with those two.”
Nicole Kaspar has walked many runways during her career as a model, but she’ll certainly never forget her boyfriend popping the question in the midst of one very special fashion show.
Last weekend, the Texan-born beauty closed Wtoo by Watters’ Spring 2019 show during New York Bridal Fashion Week, and probably didn’t anticipate being surprised with the life-changing question by her boyfriend Chad Stapleton. Instructed to walk down the catwalk a second time under the premise that more photos needed to be taken of her dress, she found instead her partner of two years waiting.

“Nicole, I’ve wanted to do this for a long time, and I wanted the moment to be as special as you are to me,” Stapleton says in the now-viral clip, Huffington Post reports. “And I figured, what better way to do this than on a runway, doing what you love.”
Stapleton launched into a speech about how much Kaspar means to him. Kaspar says yes when he formally asked for her hand in marriage, and the two embraced to the delight of the crowd.
“We met in Las Vegas through mutual friends," Kaspar told The Knot of meeting Stapleton, who works as a dentist. "My tooth had cracked and part of it fell out, and so at lunch they were asking Chad to look at it,” Kaspar told The Knot of their first meeting. “I was so embarrassed because he was so cute.”
She said yes! (Lisa Silva Photography)
“He wrote me on Instagram while I was living in Paris,” the bride-to-be further divulged, “and we went on our first date the day I came back. The rest is history.”
Flooded with well wishes and support in the days since, the lovebirds now look forward to tying the knot.
“All I can say is WOW!!! I’M ENGAGED to the love of my life. Thank you for making my every dream come true." (Lisa Silva Photography)
“All I can say is WOW!!! I’M ENGAGED to the love of my life. Thank you for making my every dream come true @thefittestdentist and I cannot wait to spend forever together. A very special thank you to @watters for helping Chad make this day so phenomenal,” the bride-to-be wrote on Instagram.
And when her wedding day finally arrives, Kaspar says she’s sure she’ll sport a dress by Watters.
"I wouldn't be caught dead in anything else," she told Inside Edition
After sharing a text conversation where her boyfriend encouraged her to lose weight from her “beer gut” on Twitter, one woman gained thousands of internet friends — and decided to dump her boyfriend, losing “a hefty 180 lbs.” in the process.
Shelby Johnson, 23, shared their text exchange after her boyfriend said that she didn’t look like she did when they first met.
“It’s not like I haven’t told you you’ve been gaining and needed to lose anyway,” he wrote. “You’re definitely getting a beer gut babe.”
His comments were tough for Johnson to hear, because she went through years of body frustrations. As a high schooler, she had to be hospitalized because her body wouldn’t gain weight and got down to 80 lbs., to the confusion of doctors. By age 20, Johnson was finally able to add pounds and her body image soared.
“I haven’t been self conscious in years. I was when I was underweight, but when I started getting to my goal weight my entire mindset changed,” she tells IPRESSTV . “I felt more confident, more whole even. I knew that I was getting where I wanted to be and strived to be. His comments did make me self-conscious. I started trying to work out 24/7. A couple friends noticed and expressed concern in my sudden desire to be ‘so fit.’ ”
Johnson, who said in her tweet that she’s only gained 5 lbs. in the five months that they’ve been dating, decided to post the exchange because she thought she might be overreacting, and wanted a second (or 39,500th) opinion.
“I had been struggling in our relationship for a while due to other concerns I was having about his behavior toward me,” she says. “So none of my friends or family knew what was going on. I had a few close internet friends that I thought would give me a good, genuine, non-biased reply. I had no idea it would go viral. I only had about 200 followers!”
But it definitely did go viral, with nearly 39,500 likes and over 5,700 comments from people telling Johnson to break up with him, and that she’s beautiful already.
“The reaction was and is still overwhelming,” she says. “But the people sharing their stories has been so heartwarming. Men, women, everyone has reached out and told me my story has inspired them. I couldn’t ask for a better outcome. It’s not even about me anymore, it’s about touching other people.”
Johnson decided to dump him — though she says that she had made that choice before the Twitter reaction. “The comments only made me realize I wasn’t crazy for being hurt,” she says. And she joked in another tweet that their breakup meant that she was “dropping a hefty 180 lbs.”
And she adds that the split was tough, but she wishes him the best.
“I really did love him,” Johnson says. “He is a good person deep down — he has a lot of growing to do though. Hopefully this motivates him, he said it has.”
The photographer and college student also encourages everyone to love themselves.
“Don’t let anyone tell you what’s healthy or not healthy besides your doctor, because that is how eating disorders happen,” Johnson says. “Be careful, notice red flags and don’t be afraid to stand up for yourself and leave something that is no longer making you feel happy.”
While they’re not in school, the average 13-year-old is usually hanging with friends, and manual labor is far from their mind. But one young teen made a YouTube obsession come alive. At 13, Luke Thill built a tiny home and is now a homeowner. Sounds impressive, right? You haven’t even heard the best parts. Wait until you see what he plans to do with it.
Say Hello To Luke

Through hard work and dedication, Luke Thill made it possible to live on his own before high school graduation. Not many teenagers are able to say that. Read ahead and learn more about this incredible story.
Obsession Turned Reality
Luke Thill / YouTube
Kids can spend hours on the internet. There is so much information out there that will keep you occupied. Thill stumbled upon something on YouTube one day that got his full attention. A tiny house.
“I was just on YouTube looking around and came across a tiny house idea and then that spiraled into looking at almost every YouTube video there is, it felt like,” Thill told ABC News. “I got obsessed with them and decided to build my own.”
Parental Ground Rules
Luke Thill / Facebook
Parents are supposed to encourage their children to do great things. Once Thill’s parents saw he wanted to build a tiny home, the support was there. But it didn’t come without some rules. Afterall, he was aiming to build it in their backyard.
“We said, ‘If you’re that serious we have to set some ground rules,’” Thill’s dad Greg told ABC News. “We told him he had to have the financial responsibility of it, raise the money and choose the materials and stay in the budget.”
All In The Family
Luke Thill / Facebook
Thill started this project in 2016. Ordinarily, this would be a daunting task for a person of any age. In his situation, the help of Thill’s family was invaluable. He couldn’t have done it on his own.
His father helped with the construction, and his mom chipped in with interior design. Thill’s twin brother and sister were also in on the act. Thill would later learn how to bargain.
Keep going and learn who else was inspired to help with the tiny house build.
Bargaining and a Work Ethic Like No Other
Luke Thill / YouTube
Outside of his family’s help, Thill also gained assistance through bargaining. He used his resources well and ended up getting the job done efficiently. Thill called upon the people he met in his life that he knew would be of help. But not without returning the favor!
“I have a neighbor who is a professional electrician, so I cleaned his garage out, and he taught me how to wire the house,” said Thill. “And in Cub Scouts, I knew a guy who was a carpet layer, and I mowed at his apartment buildings, and he helped me install the carpet.”
Trust The Process
Youtube / Luke Thill
Thill started building his new home in 2016. But according to him, it’s not finished yet. The 13-year-old faced some troubles during the process but never gave up. Thill doesn’t have an end date, but we know that he will tackle every problem he runs into, even if it extends the “finish” date.
“He’s a very driven kid for his age,” said Luke’s dad. “There were times the project got stalled out, and he had to earn more money for the next phase. He wouldn’t let it go and kept working at it.”
The Fascination With It All
Luke Thill / YouTube
For someone so young, Thill seems like he already has life figured out. Beyond his obsession with YouTube videos, there were other motives why he wanted to pursue this. And hearing the reasons, it sounds like he’s going to be a responsible young man in the future.
Thill said, “I like the minimalism. And I wanted to have a house without a huge mortgage.” It’s pretty safe to say that you can count on one hand other 13-year-olds you know that have this type of mindset.
Cutting Out The Costs
Luke Thill / YouTube
If you’re wondering how this tiny home only cost $1,500, we’ll tell you. The charming house is assembled with low-cost materials that help minimize the price of building it. Thill was smart in picking what to use for materials.
The tiny house novice used reclaimed materials. For example, there was the leftover siding he got from his grandma. There were also several windows and a front door that he received from his uncle.
What’s It Like In There?
Luke Thill / YouTube
If you think that you can’t fit much inside this tiny house- think again. Consider everything you can fit inside an average bedroom and multiply that by two. The home has space for the necessities, plus a little more.
For starters, it has a loft. There’s also a kitchen area with a beautiful counter. Some shelves lead to the sitting area. An ottoman is in place of a couch, and there is a TV mounted on the wall. He also installed a flip-down table.
Simply Inspirational
Luke Thill / YouTube
“I want to show kids it’s possible to build at this age,” said Thill. But he has done more than that with this tiny house. When you know someone so young is capable of something like this, it opens the door for others. It allows anyone to look at an idea and not be afraid to tackle it.
“Everyone had to have a big house, and now people have changed and realized it’s not practical,” Thill said to the Des Moines Register. “You can save money, travel the world, and do what you want instead.”
Utilizing The House Wisely
Luke Thill / YouTube
Thill didn’t go through all this work just to prove a point. He spent all those hours and $1,500 for a reason. And once again, his purpose for this house has a certain level of maturity to it. Homework gets done in the tiny house.
Thill only sleeps in it a few nights a week, but that’s sure to change as he gets older and makes a bigger one. “The main purpose is to be my starter home,” he said. “I’m going to save money and expand.”
The Attention He Deserves
Luke Thill / Facebook
The principal at Thill’s school called him into his office one day, the reason unknown to Thill. “I don’t go there very often,” he said. “I’ve never gone there for anything bad.” Thill must have been curious as to why he was being called up.
It turns out; his principal was friends with someone from the local newspaper. Thill got interviewed, and his tiny house ended up making the front page of the paper. Trouble wasn’t waiting for Thill, but recognition was.
Festival Life
Luke Thill / Facebook
Not only was Thill featured on the front page of the local newspaper but he also runs a YouTube channel that has over 32,000 followers. When you combine those two sources of engagement, it only makes sense that he would be invited to speak at the TinyFest Festival, a gathering dedicated to building tiny homes.
It’s also ironic that he had just earned his merit badge for public speaking from Boy Scouts. Thill had some encouraging words for the crowd in attendance that aligned with his inspirational path.
Strengthening His Bond With Dad
Luke Thill / YouTube
This project was an incredible experience for Thill and his whole family. More specifically, Thill and his father got a chance to grow closer together. Thill completed the bulk of the work, but his dad worked closely with him.
“Me and him spent nights and days building it. He was really busy, but he made sure to spend time with me and coached me through the process of building a house. I’m really grateful for a good dad, mom, and a good family.”
Making A Business
Luke Thill / Facebook
It’s clear that this young teen is going places. Building the tiny house was just the tip of the iceberg. Thill has more ideas in that head of his. Branching out to retail was Thill’s next move.
He already had thousands of supporters, so it made perfect sense for him to make merchandise. He now has sweatshirts and T-shirts. It was initially just to help him get exposure, but it isn’t a bad way to help raise more money.
How’s Living In It?
Luke Thill / YouTube
So is the space entirely livable? Not exactly, but it is manageable. Being equipped with electricity isn’t enough. The small fridge would be good for midnight snacks, but that’s about it.
The most important factor this house is missing is plumbing! There is no running water. Thiller couldn’t get that situated, but it’s okay. He was trying to muster up a way to get water in there, but it was too much for him to handle. But the lack of plumbing only inspired him to want to expand.
Sometimes We Might Make A Mistake Or Two
Luke Thill / Facebook
When humans do something for the first time, it’s natural to mess up. Everyone does, and that’s okay. It’s especially acceptable when you are a 13-year-old building a home for the first time!
Thill had some mistakes in the process that he told his subscribers about in his YouTube videos. He explained how the counter he tried to make was a disaster. He also had planned on using a light fixture in the loft that ended up being too big. This mistake caused people to bump their heads when they came in.
Call Friends!
Luke Thill / YouTube
This tiny home is ideal for 13-year-olds and their friends. Every day after school, they can go over and not worry about getting in the way of the parents. All young kids need is wifi and a TV.
The only issue with having friends over at Thill’s home is the lack of plumbing. Friends who have to use the restroom must walk to the main house and use his parents’.
The First Night In
Luke Thill / Facebook After putting so much time and hard work into this, you can imagine how excited Thill was to sleep in his new home. Even after installing the necessary insulation, it was still up in the air if the house was habitable.
In the thick of the winter, Thill chose to spend the first night in his tiny house. It was below freezing, but he was up for the challenge. After that night, he was proud to announce that it was so warm upstairs in the loft, he had to open up a window.
The Next Steps
Luke Thill / YouTube
The first tiny house was a practice run for Thill. He says that he plans on making more efficient tiny houses down the line. An ultimate goal of his is to build one that he can bring along with him when he goes to college.
But before that happens, he is going to make one that is entirely livable. A house that he can live in full-time. The original tiny house is going to be sold to help finance his upcoming projects. The documentation of it will be on his YouTube. Good luck Luke!

A 42-year-old man from Cape Town, has become a viral sensation for always pushing his girlfriend in a shopping trolley wherever they go!
“She is my queen and it’s my job to take care of her in any way,” Lizo Taliwe told Daily Sun. When the People’s Paper recently caught up with the two they were on their way to Never Never from Samora Machel.
“I enjoy what I’m doing and I don’t mind the hot weather. As long as my queen is happy, I’m happy too,” he said. His girlfriend Zukiswa Dyantyi, 40,said she was happy she chose to be with Lizo because he treats her like the queen she is.
The two have been together for 8 years. When the SunTeam asked her if Lizo pushed her because she was lazy, he jumped to her defence. “She is not lazy. I love her and I don’t want her to get tired.
Even though we are poor and don’t have anything, we love each other. To find true love people need to stop looking at materialistic things because the person who really loves you might not have anything.” DailySun
