Hey there, it’s Joy, and I’m grinning ear to ear after reading this article about a heroic paddle-boarder and a shark!

Charity Clark, a photographer from Florida, spotted a shark all wrapped up in fishing rope while paddling near Big Pine Key, and she just dove in to help. The way she carefully untangled the yards of line from the shark’s body, giving it a little tap to “let go” like you’d nudge a puppy, is just so heartwarming.

That video of the shark swimming free has spread like wildfire online, making everyone smile. It’s so uplifting because it shows how one brave act can save a life and spark joy across the world. I’m totally inspired!
