Everyone knows darker-colored dogs don't photograph well. That explains why, in part, those in shelters don’t get adopted as much, right? Actually that’s wrong, says Humane Society of Utah photographer Guinnevere Shuster, and she set off to prove it.

“People often comment on how black dogs do not photograph well,” Shuster told Huffington Post. “So I really wanted to show that they can.”

She went on to create a series of beautiful portraits of the darker shelter dogs, and it's already working. Several pups have found new owners already, and hopefully it won’t be long before the others have found a home as well.

It’s a story of procrastination that could have been a $24 million tragedy. For an entire year, the New York Gaming Commission had been searching for the mystery winner of a $24.1 million New York Lotto jackpot, sold in May 2016. As the one-year deadline to claim the prize approached, they launched a media blitz.

"A lucky New Yorker has a $24 million Lotto payday just waiting — but the winner has to act fast as time is running out," Gweneth Dean, director of the commission's Division of the Lottery, said in a statement reported by The Washington Post. "We urge New York Lottery players: Check your pockets. Check your glove box. Look under the couch cushions. If you have this winning ticket, we look forward to meeting you."

4 magical things millennials got to do growing up that Gen Alpha's taking next level

Every generation faces challenges, whether it be personal freedoms, academic pursuits, family dynamics, or social pressures. However, growing up in the "golden age" of the '80s and '90s, millennials often fondly think back on their childhoods. Strategically placed in a time when new technology was rocketing convenience, shared experience was at the forefront, and privacy wasn't even a concern.

Childhood lifestyles that offered independence, innovation, opportunity for social interactions, and an overall communal experience were freedoms and norms rarely experienced by earlier generations. Not to be outdone, Gen Alpha (those born between 2010 and 2024) is leveraging access to new technologies to create a lifestyle that offers similar benefits in a time with fewer physical freedoms of autonomy.

There’s one key aspect to a healthy marriage that could make your relationship last a lifetime

When sharing the secrets to a happy marriage, there’s one golden rule that comes to mind consistently for experts and longstanding couples alike: friendship. Because while love and lust are nice, of course, being real, honest, and true friends with your partner is the most important part of any relationship, particularly a marriage you’d like to see last.

While studying love and relationships during his professorship at Harvard, Dr. Arthur Brooks has shared that the most important kind of love is companionate love. According to the American Psychological Association, companionate love is “characterized by strong feelings of intimacy and affection for another person rather than strong emotional arousal in the other’s presence.”

Police pulled over an '80s pop icon for speeding and it turned into a hilarious photo shoot

Being pulled over by the police is always a nerve-racking experience, and it’s probably awkward for everyone when the driver is a pop star with multiple chart-topping singles. In July 2025, one such encounter went viral after sheriff’s deputies in Kiowa County, Kansas stopped a vehicle transporting British '80s hitmaker John Waite. But instead of leading to tension, the traffic stop resulted in a genuinely wholesome moment.

Waite and his band were en route to their concert at United Wireless Arena in Dodge City, Kansas when they were pulled over for speeding. Sergeant Justin Rugg just so happened to be a longtime fan: “I’m not even on cloud nine; I’m on like cloud 12,” he said after making the stop, according to the Kiowa County Sheriff Office's Facebook page.
