The internet can be a very toxic place where anonymous people endlessly spar and fling mud over politics, taste in music and which animal wins in a duel (yes, that’s a thing, apparently), which is all the more reason to relish it when people manage to break the mold and use the web to brighten each other’s days.
These people did just that by sharing their incredibly heartwarming stories and scenes of family love:
