It's not every day you see the whole year becoming a meme for how disastrous it’s going. Just take a look at people trying to laugh through it all in our previous posts here and here, and check out the "2020 described in one word" challenge right here.
Essentially, at this point, most of us are severely deprived of feel-good emotions. You need no doctor to say that the worldwide chaos has been taking its toll on us. But thankfully, there’s an antidote that’s said to soothe your soul and give you a much-needed fix of wholesomeness.
Sit back, relax, and get ready for the Bored Panda compilation of wholesome posts that will bring back hope in humanity and our future, because as long as we have these nice people, we are all going to be alright.

#146 A Mourning Dove Had Been Trapped In Our Chimney For Hours. With His iPhone & A Flashlight Taped To A Board & Facetime Guiding The Way, Hubby Was Able To Retrieve The Poor Thing
A little more detail on the story: we noticed one of our cats was very interested in our fireplace yesterday morning, but we figured it was just weird curious kitty being weirdly curious. A few hours later, hubby (home teaching remotely) heard scratching sounds and thought something was in the chimney so he went on the roof to check. He saw this little dove waay at the bottom, resting on a ledge near the flue.
It took some repeated efforts (and resulted in soot. EVERYWHERE.), but eventually “Dusty” fell through the flue into the fireplace and I grabbed her with a blanket.
She was squinty and pretty lethargic, so I called a wildlife rescue and they advised we keep her in the small cage overnight with some food and water to let her recover from the stress. If she was still puffy and lethargic in the morning, we needed to bring her in (as a native species, she’s protected, so we can’t rehab without a license). After about 7-8 hours, Dusty showed some normal bird-like behavior and this morning she was ready to go. We let her out in the front yard near the bird feeders the doves love—probably what she’d been eyeing from our chimney.
And hubby bought a chimney cap so this doesn’t happen again.
