This feature is designed as a counterweight to all the bad news in the world that weighs people down. We could share a photo of a baby, or a photo of a dog, but we are giving you both.

They all live in a suburb of Brisbane, Australia. If you have a photo of a baby and a dog, submit it for consideration to [email protected]
