Sometimes, we are so unwell that we have no choice but to head to the hospital. Although these hospital staff thought this homeless man was alone, it turned out that he had brought some company after all.

Admitted To Hospital

It was about 3 am when César, a homeless man in Brazil, walked into the hospital for some emergency treatment. The man was often seen at another clinic so needed to explain his story and the complications with his health problem. However, it wasn’t long before the staff noticed that César hasn’t come to the hospital alone. In fact, there was someone already waiting at the door.

A Sight At The Door

The nurses all looked over to see not one, not two, but four dogs all waiting at the door to the hospital. César might not have had many possessions, but it turned out that this homeless man’s entire life were all waiting to see their friend made it safely back out in one piece. The staff soon learned that César had taken it upon himself to feed his canine friends so that he wasn’t so alone out on the streets.

Keeping Them Fed

The nurses could all see the dogs were a healthy weight and must have been given plenty of food from their adopted owner. Thankfully, they soon decided to let the dogs in to see César and welcomed them all with plenty of food. Although the staff offered both César and the dogs their own meals, they confess the homeless man kept some of his own to feed to his animals once they had left.

On Their Way

It wasn’t long before César was allowed on his way. The homeless man packed up his medicine and headed out the door with all four dogs in tow. Amazingly, the nurses state that the canines were all wagging their tails with happiness that their friend was going to be okay. They might not have known his life, but everyone was touched by César’s love for his friends.

It seems as though not all of us have friends on two legs, and sometimes these four-legged friends can show us more compassion that we ever believed. Thankfully, everyone is now reunited as a pack once again.

Sometimes, a picture of the past is worth a thousand words.

Despite being one of the most beautiful women ever, Marilyn Monroe was not exactly a dream to work with. Due to her struggle with addiction to prescription medication and undiagnosed ADHD, she had many issues remembering her lines. Even the simple words ‘It’s me, Sugar” took her 47 times to get right. Apparently, she kept reversing the order of the words and said “Sugar, it’s me.” Here, director Billy Wilder attempts to help her.

Most people associate the Titanic with its horrific capsizing and the James Cameron blockbuster movie that came almost a century after the most famous sinking of all time. So you might have forgotten that the actual ship was basically the equivalent of a floating 5-star hotel. Decked out with the most luxurious materials of the time, only the fabulously wealthy could afford to make the cross-Atlantic journey in the Titanic’s amazingly indulgent first class cabins.

Not every iconic photo has to involve the most well-known historical figure of the era. Sometimes, just like in real estate, it’s location, location, location that is really what matters in the end. This picture is a perfect example of that – it depicts two unknown commoners jumping fearlessly into London’s River Thames. The Houses of Parliament and the Westminster Bridge are clearly visible in the background. The setting is what makes this photo totally timeless and unforgettable.

Way back in 1931, Albert Einstein took a trip to America. He was considering joining Caltech, but along the way decided to play tourist and visit a few sites of interest. He stopped near the Grand Canyon at the Hopi House. The tribe welcomed him warmly, letting him wear a traditional Hopi headdress. Here he’s seen with a variety of tribe members, both adults and children, along with his wife. You can see how open-minded the scientist was.

Jimi Hendrix, known for his wild onstage guitar-smashing antics and being one of the most legendary acts to perform at the most iconic music festival of all time, Woodstock, is heavily associated with the psychedelia and excesses of the 1960s. You might be shocked to see a photo of him embodying Saint Nick, but that’s exactly what’s happening here. Jimi donned the Santa Claus getup for an advertisement in now-defunct magazine Record Mirror. He’s definitely at his peak here.

Elvis Presley rose to fame in the 1950s for challenging the social norms of the era. He ushered in a new age of suggestive dancing, which involved swiveling one’s hips and a few pelvic thrusts thrown in for good measure. Many people disapproved of him – that is, until he decided to serve alongside his countrymen in the Korean-American War. He enlisted in 1958, but only lasted a short while – he was released after his beloved mother died unexpectedly of a heart attack.

Nowadays, having a small Chihuahua or Pomeranian poking out of your purse is par for the course for almost all the starlets in Hollywood. However, we’ve never seen a movie star with a pet like this before! Yes, that really is a deer, which Audrey Hepburn named “Pippin.” She was filming the movie Green Mansions, and producers encouraged her to spend time off-set with the deer so that their scenes together would look more natural.

One of the biggest superstars of the English literary scene has a legacy that’s gone on for a century after his death. Ernest Hemingway is most known for his amazing novel The Old Man and the Sea. What you may not have known about the iconic author, however, is that rather than sitting at a desk, one of his favorite places to come up with ideas for stories was actually in his bathtub! Who knows what he was brewing in there?

Frank Sinatra is considered a major man’s man, but that doesn’t mean he was afraid to pamper himself in order to look as good as possible. This iconic photo was taken by Life photographer John Dominis in 1965, who dedicated a full month to shadowing the iconic singer in order to get the most intimate portrait possible of Sinatra’s daily life. His strategy worked – the photo was an instant classic, and even Sinatra himself admitted that he liked it.

The 14th Dalai Lama has reached international celebrity status for his peace-promoting efforts and meetings with major figures from US Presidents to Hollywood actor Richard Gere. But we forget that before he became the Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso was a simple boy born in 1935 to a farming family in Tibet. When a man ascends to such a great position of power – his Holiness took control of his country at the age of 15 – we forget he was once a child.

Everyone knows and loves Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball, the dynamic duo from the classic 1950s sitcom I Love Lucy. They say a picture is worth 1,000 words, but this snapshot isn’t of a real-life emergency. You can breathe a sigh of relief, as it’s just a scripted scene from an episode of the beloved series. Lucy was donning a fake nose in order to disguise herself after accidentally slamming a custard pie into William Holden’s face!

In the current era of computer wizardry and CGI effects, you might wonder how a company like MGM got such an iconic image of a roaring lion for their opening credits. Well, the answer is more simple – and more dangerous – than you’d think. Back in 1928, they simply grabbed Leo the Lion and irritated him a bit, let the cameras roll, and hoped for the best. There were no reported fatalities, so apparently the studio’s risk paid off.

They say a photograph speaks a thousand words, but what about the ones that were taken in the most iconic moments of all time? Wouldn’t you say they speak a whole million? We’ll let you decide yourself!

There’s a reason why the saying “dog is a man’s best friend” is so well known – because it’s been proven time and time again, and this photo is a perfect example of it. We can see in this photo that this boy is getting some major help from his canine pal. It’s solid proof that if you treat a dog well, he’ll be there by your side through thick and thin, proving he’s just as loyal as any two-legged friend.

It’s easy to be a fashion designer – slap your name with a few embellishments on a pair of jeans, and voila, you’ve got your own label. But Louis Reard from France is one of the only people in the world who can say that he came up with an entirely new kind of garment. In 1946, he debuted the bikini. At the time, his innovation wasn’t so well received. But 70 years later, the impact he had on fashion is undeniable.

Back in 1957, the iconic blonde bombshell was invited to make an appearance at a soccer match between the Israeli team HaPoel Tel Aviv and the US National Soccer Team, which was held at Ebbets Field. Marilyn was so enthusiastic about the sport that the players and referees let her kick the ball around a bit on the field before the game officially began.

Both the Beatles and Muhammad Ali are considered icons of the 1960s, albeit for wildly different reasons. The Beatles were credited with introducing the “British invasion” of English pop music to American airwaves. Muhammad Ali was a champion boxer who wasn’t afraid to spout his political beliefs at one of the most tumultuous times in history. This photo shows the amazing moment when the odd couple met – one of them a media darling, the other a less popular figure.

During the golden age of The Tonight Show, back when Johnny Carson was still the show’s host, actress Carol Wayne rose to fame for her many appearances as the Matinee Lady. However, despite being beloved by the public, she ended up rising to fame for morbid reasons. She passed away unexpectedly while on a Mexican vacation with hubby Edward Durston. There was much public speculation into her mysterious death, but no conclusion about foul play was ever made.

There is no doubt that Frida Kahlo was an eccentric personality, and that wild sort of behavior started very early on. Back in 1924, when she was 17 years of age, she posed alongside her siblings for her father Guillermo, who took the photo. However, she decided to stare intensely at the camera, while dressed up as a boy! The future artist stood in the middle, wearing a three-piece suit, shirt, and tie.

There have been numerous women who have challenged the status quo over the years. These include the likes of Emmeline Pankhurst and Rosa Parks. Another classic example of a woman who stood up for what she believed in was German runner Kathrine Switzer. Having made a life for herself in America, Switzer decided to run the Boston Marathon. Many runners tried to obstruct her during the race. Ultimately though, she became the first woman ever to finish the run.

Long before leading his beloved India to independence and becoming one of the most important historical figures in the search for peace, Mahatma Gandhi was a young man who pursued a career in law. Back in April 1893, when young Mohandas was just 23, he traveled to South Africa, where he became a lawyer. For the next two decades, Gandhi established himself in the South Africa judiciary system and developed his beliefs and political stance that, in large parts, revolutionized the world.

Many people aren’t aware that The Statue Of Liberty wasn’t actually built in America. It was originally constructed in Paris and given to the United States as a gift. French sculptor, Frederic Auguste Bartholdi, came up with the vision for the statue’s design and it was Gustave Eiffel himself who constructed the metal framework. This picture was taken in 1884 during the latter stages of the statue’s construction. It was around this time that the pedestal’s cornerstone was laid.

When you think of the iconic actor Robert DeNiro, you probably think of the tough-talking New Yorker he’s embodied in so many different roles in classic films like Taxi Driving and Raging Bull. But like everyone else on the planet, Robert was once a baby. This picture shows him with his father, world-renowned painter Robert DeNiro Sr., with whom he shared a very close father-son relationship. Robert Junior even dedicated one of his awards to his dad!

You probably associate the reigning royal ruler of the United Kingdom, Queen Elizabeth II, with civility, upper-class manners, and extremely proper etiquette. So you might be surprised to see that during World War II the young princess wasn’t afraid to get her hands dirty in order to help out with the allies’ war effort. She rolled up her sleeves, enlisted, and was promptly trained as a mechanic. Yes, that’s really her behind the wheel of a military truck!

America’s most glamorous silver-screen vixen, Marilyn Monroe, didn’t start off her life in the most luxurious of circumstances. You might be surprised to learn that she was orphaned at a young age and married a neighbor at age 16 in order to escape a life of poverty. When her then-husband went overseas during World War 2, Marilyn went to work in a Van Nuys factory. This photo of her is credited with making her famous, and the rest is history.

You may not associate the two in any way, but silent film actor Charlie Chaplin and renowned scientist Albert Einstein did live during the same era in history. In fact, their paths crossed more than once! Both European immigrants to the United States (Charlie was born in England and Albert was from Germany), they immediately clicked when Albert met Charlie while he was touring the US. Charlie ended up inviting Albert over for dinner, and the rest is history.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and this iconic snap definitely proves it. Jayne Mansfield and Sophia Loren were natural rivals at the time. Jayne, a blonde bombshell, and Sophia, a smoldering brunette, were both gorgeous women who often had to compete for the same roles at a time in Hollywood when there weren’t many opportunities for women. The tension between them is palpable, and you can see the disapproval just radiating from every one of Sophia’s pores.

When it comes to entertainment, Disney is the most well-known name. From Disneyland to Star Wars and the Marvel Cinematic Universe under its belt, you can be sure that Disney succeeds in whatever it wants to. It might be hard to remember though, that it all started with humble creator Walt Disney and his original characters like Mickey Mouse. Back then, Walt Disney was just a simple cartoonist who enjoyed kicking back and snacking on chicken.

Harry Houdini’s name isn’t just really fun to say, it has also become synonymous with magic and an inseparable part of the American lexicon. He first came to the US as a penniless immigrant from Hungary, but ended up becoming one of the most well-known (and well-paid) performers of his era. He was well-respected for his intense escape acts, which often involved him being either locked in chains wrapped around his body or put in a straitjacket.

This photo is one of the most powerful ever taken and instantly evokes an important chapter in American history. Dorothy Counts was the original integrator of a previously all-white school in 1957. Tensions ran high, and many of the students made the fact that they didn’t want her in the school very clear. However, Dorothy remained cool, calm, and collected despite the challenging circumstances. She said later on in interviews that her strong faith in God kept her going.
