Dog Appeared Out Of Nowhere And Followed Himalayan Trekkers
"This dog just appeared out of nowhere and followed us for an entire week during our trekking trip in the Himalayan outback . . . When I decided to get up at 4 a.m. to climb the next 5000 m peak for sunrise he accompanied me as well. On the top he was sitting for the entire 30 minutes on this place."Posted by trot-trot at Reddit EarthPorn, where the interesting comment thread includes the following:
"Your spiritual journey of a lifetime. His average Tuesday."
"These people just appeared out of nowhere and followed me for an entire week."
"Maybe it wasnt a dog, but a spirit guide."
"We met the same dog trekking over the Korzok Range near Tso Moriri! The first night he slept under my tent's fly, then in my friend's vestibule. For a couple of days we didn't feed him, trying to encourage him to go 'home' - that was very hard because he was such a lovely dog. After we crossed a 5900+m pass we had no choice, and fed him well. He was a wonderful companion, but eventually abandoned us for a group of mountain bikers, who presumably had better food! I only have one picture of him, but it was taken at the top of a pass, the only time he was cold and sad." tywkiwdbi

Goodbye Note From A Trapped Miner
On the morning of May 19th, 1902, a huge explosion ripped through Fraterville Coal Mine in Tennessee killing 216 miners on the spot. 26 miners made it to a side passage where they suffocated while waiting for help to come. They had just enough time to write a few words to their loved ones.
Letters of Note posted one of these, a heartrending letter written by Jacob Vowell to his wife, Sarah Ellen, mother to their 6 children, one of whom, 14-year-old Elbert, was by his side in the mine.
