Sometimes we need a little break from the gloomy news cycle. Here are five stories you may have missed but that will definitely brighten your day.

1.Donkey In a Hole: This poor, unsuspecting donkey in Riverside, California was just trying to get a drink of water when a sinkhole opened up underneath him. Thanks to the quick work of Riverside Animal Services and a heroic construction crew he is now once again free to do…whatever it is donkeys do in Riverside.

2.#PrayersForNick: Accidentally sending a private email to a company thread is the real-world equivalent of dreams about showing up to school in your underwear. When a traffic reporter mistakenly sent out an email to the entire Nexstar Media Group letting them know he was sick it naturally made its way to the internet and #prayersfornick began trending on Twitter. Feel better, Nick!
