In today’s feel-good news story: Bubbles the Dachsund.

Bubbles was born in July 2014 with only two legs.

Her owner Trevor Byers, from Texas, noticed when she was still a tiny pup that she had been born without her front paws.

Trevor was worried that little Bubbles wouldn’t have the best quality of life growing up. It turned out that Bubble was as happy as could be if she had a wheelchair to help her maneuver about her business.

With the help of a 3D printer, Trevor was able to come up with a design that would allow for Bubbles to live her best life.

“Many many more failed attempts later, I have come up with a design that is perfect for my Bubbles,” Trevor, who is a mechanic, explains.

Bubbles one-of-a-kind wheels are made especially light-weight so she can scoot around as much as she likes without putting too much pressure on her back. She’s even got a customised pair.

Trevor and Elissa, Bubble’s owners, are now on a mission to ensure that any other dogs like Bubbles can lead a happy life as they’ve decided to make and donate 3D-printed wheels for dogs.

Bubbles has a Facebook page, and Trevor has even supplied instructions for people who have their own 3D printers and want to help struggling dogs live their best life.

We’re having a hard time controlling our feelings. She's just so happy.

If you're feeling a little tired and emotional today, look away now, because you're about to get a lot worse.

Luhu the tabby lives in China with her owner Maggie Liu and her feline siblings Barher and Bardie. The trio seem to have a pretty comfy life, but Luhu can't shake the feeling that something's not right… and her eyes show it.

Here she is chowing down on some watermelon while pondering the problem of world hunger:

If Ozzie the cat could talk, we bet he’d have a few stories to tell.

The tough little moggie was picked up in Co Armagh last week, and was taken in by the Cats Protection Centre as a stray. When staff checked his microchip on their system though, they discovered that Ozzie was no local.

The ginger cutie was first registered by his owner in Australia way back in 2000, meaning he had somehow travelled more than 17,000km before he was spotted in someone’s garden looking a little worse for wear.

It’s thought the "incredibly handsome" young man may have travelled with his owner from Australia to England in 2004, as the records of one London vet show that he was seen as a stray around that time. However it’s not clear how the fantastic feline managed to make his way across the Irish Sea and into Northern Ireland.

Ozzie was seriously under-nourished when he was discovered, and an urgent hunt is on to find his owner as he is currently on a drip to help his failing kidneys. Plus, according to his records he is 25 years old, with the average cat (ie not Ozzie the wonder cat) only living to around 14 or 15.

Since the Armagh Cats Protection Centre posted about Ozzie’s mystery journey on their Facebook page, they have received more than 2,000 messages from cat lovers wanting to help out… but there’s no sign of his owner just yet.

All the same, staff say they have their “paws crossed” for the purrrrfect ending.

Dublin Zoo is evidently encouraging the nation to collectively utter an audible "ooh" and "aah": because it has now released images of its three unbelievably adorable red ruffed lemur newborns.

The Zoo is already home to four of the cute-as-a-button primates, but these loveable fur babies are pretty much the icing on the cake when it comes to can't-stop-staring cuteness. 

The team at Dublin Zoo is undoubtedly delighted with the new arrivals as the species is currently under threat.

The organisation's Ciaran McMahon explained: “Red ruffed lemurs are one of the most endangered of all lemurs.

"The birth of three babies at Dublin Zoo is hugely significant and definitely something to celebrate. 

"We are delighted to report that our new arrivals are strong and healthy and are nosily exploring their habitat on red ruffed lemur island."

So, helping increase the population of endangered species while also indulging in hours of cuteness is a sure way to get bring on that Friday feeling a little earlier. 

To see the new-born red ruffed lemur babies venture out into their new habitat for the very first time, tune in to The Zoo this evening at 7pm on RTÉ One.

Prepare to feel all of the feels with this emotional video!

NASCAR driver Brian Scott married the love of his life, Whitney Kay recently, but he made sure he gave his vows not only to his wife-to-be, but also to his future stepdaughter, Brielle. 

Bending down to the 3-year-old, Brian says to Brielle "I promise to always hold your hand and skip with you down the street and bring comfort to your life. I vow to make you say your prayers before you eat. I promise to read you stories at night and to always tuck you in real tight. I vow to show you how a man should treat a woman in my relationship with your mother. And above all else, I vow to protect you, care for you and love you forever."

Needless to say, the special moment between father and daughter instantly brought tears to the eyes of guests (ok, fine we're in bits too!). 

To see the amazing vow to his stepdaughter, skip to 4:09, though to be fair the entire video is stunning. 

The video was shared on YouTube last year, but has gained major traction in the last few weeks, with almost a million views!

There is officially nothing cuter than this little girl realising that her dad has created Frozen's Queen Elsa and Princess Anna on a pancake. 

As her dad lifts her plate over to her she sees his amazing creation and her face just brightens up in surprise – so adorable! 

He then goes on to make Tiana, Jasmine and other Disney favourites using nothing but pancake batter and a squeezy bottle. 

We reckon every dad needs this skill – if not just for a reaction like that!

This cute dog's owner is a big tease as he says the word 'treats' to his dog before following it up with 'no!'

The sweetest thing has to be the dog's reaction as his ear perk when he hears the exciting word before falling back down when the word 'no' is uttered. 

Thankfully, someone in the room takes pity and tells the cameraman to stop teasing the poor thing, but we just love those sweet little ear movements!

Prepare for some serious cuteness, ladies.

Last night 116 little puppies were seized at Dublin Port, and while that news won't be welcome for animal lovers, you'll be pleased to know they are all in safe hands now.

The cuties were seized when it was discovered they had been smuggled into the country without any animal passports.

RTÉ News tweeted this picture which made the entirely of Ireland collectively say "aaaaaw":

Just look at them!

The DSPCA rounded up the puppies last night with the help of customs officers, and they are being cared for today. It's said they are all relatively healthy, except for some who have stomach bugs.

Can we mind them? PLEASE?

We love a good animal story and this one is super cute!

Gardaí  at Finglas Garda Station found a cat in the yard yesterday and obviously decided to bring it inside while the owner was being located. However, their act of kindness may have backfired as now the cat is refusing to leave – we love it!

Taking to Twitter, the official Garda account wrote: “Cat found in the yard of Finglas station today. Won’t leave. It’s a young cat. Owner can collect it from the station.”

It didn’t take long for hilarity to ensue with people suggesting he may be a ‘cat burglar’ (geddit?) and others suggesting they keep the cat.

Here are some of our favourite tweets about Finglas Garda Station’s brand new pet:

Brilliant! What a gorgeous cat, we hope he finds his owner soon!

Poor Lola's dad has a few difficult years ahead of him, we reckon.

The adorable Irish one-year-old flat out refuses to get down from the coffee table, and what ensues has to be the cutest argument of all time.

We love her hand-on-hip stance at the end – we'll be borrowing that sassy move, thanks Lola!

Dad wins out in the end though, as he has the eternal advantage of being able to pick up his opponent and simply place her on the floor. Touché!

A couple who got engaged at Cork’s Fota Wildlife Park have seen their sweet story go viral over the last two days.

Grace Fanning, an Irish naval officer, dropped to one knee to propose to her girlfriend of seven years, Carol Brady. The beautiful moment Carol said yes was caught on camera and the photos were posted by Fota, who have claimed them to be their most liked post so far! We can't say we are surprised by that! 

The proposal took place in front of the giraffes, Carol’s favourite animal and Grace has said they are delighted with the reaction: “It was fairly emotional alright but the reaction has been incredible.” Such a sweet story – apparently even the ladies' tour guide, Leslie cried! 

The couple hope to tie the knot in 2016 following this year’s same-sex marriage referendum.

Your daily dose of animals being adorable is here and it's a good one!

Watch as this cute little pig slips and slides on the icy footpath. He doesn't seem to enjoy it very much though – which is why he's lucky his caring owner is there to rescue him!
