If you ever feel unhappy or think that you have the biggest problems, just remember these animals with deficiencies, happy eyes and a smile on their face and you’ll definitely get your strength back.

Faith was one of those animals who besides her shortage never stopped smiling and fighting for her life. The bipedal dog was born with three legs; two fully developed hind legs and a deformed front leg, which was amputated after it began to atrophy.

Many people, including veterinarians, advised Faith’s owner to euthanize the dog but she decided not to. Instead, she used a spoon with peanut butter to teach her how to hop first and start walking on her own after. She chose the harder way and fought with her beloved dog every day until she was able to normally function alone.

It’s one of those stories that burn your eyes and warm up your heart right? Even a book has been published detailing Faith’s story entitled “Faith Walks…A Memoir of a Beautiful Life“. On September 23, 2014, Faith passed away at the age of 11. She definitely lived a happy life thanks to her owner and the strong will for survival.

Commonly known as “Dracula’s Castle” this amazing building was the home of the title character in Bram Stoker’s Dracula. There is, however, no evidence that Stoker knew anything about this castle, which has only tangential associations with Vlad III, the putative inspiration for Dracula.

The castle is now a museum which is displaying art and furniture collected by Queen Marie. As you already know, the Bran Castle is a tourist attraction mostly because of the Dracula legend and if you are one of those tourists that likes visiting creepy, stunning castles like this one, pack your bags and have a nice trip! Until then scroll down and enter virtually inside ‘Dracula’s home’ in Transylvania.

“There is no truth in photography. There is no truth about anyone’s person. My portraits are much more about me than they are about the people I photograph. I used to think that it was a collaboration, that it was something that happened as a result of what the subject wanted to project and what the photographer wanted to photograph. I no longer think it is that at all.”

Richard Avedon the name is known to all who is in any way associated with photography. This great photographer like no one else was able to pass in his photos amazing and rare phenomenon, mysterious play of light and shadows, in beautiful black and white. Each of his work is a dialogue with the model viewer, even with himself, who masterfully shows us what it means to take a picture. During his career, Richard Avedon had done portraits of many international celebrities, from Charlie Chaplin to the supermodels of the early 90’s.
