Sometimes good things just hop into your life. Beck Garfinkel found a frog in her packaged salad that she bought at a Target in California.

She quickly discovered it was alive, and named it Lucky. Garfinkel kept the frog, and it’s officially living its best life.
Jim McIngvale, aka "Mattress Mack," owns two furniture stores in the Houston area, and he opened them for anyone who needed a safe place to stay during the Hurricane Harvey aftermath.
"They're sleeping on hundreds of mattresses throughout the store. They're sleeping on the couches — wherever they can find a place that's comfortable, and God bless 'em," McIngvale told NPR.
McIngvale also helped out during Hurricane Katrina 12 years ago, BuzzFeed reported.

"We love the pictures. As soon as we get the raw images back from [the photographer], we are going to blow a bunch up and hang them on the wall."
