The nicest thing someone's ever done for meIn amongst all the tales of bitterness and poo, we occasionally get fluffy stories that bring a small tear to our internet-jaded eyes.
In celebration of this, what is the nicest thing someone's done for you? Whether you thoroughly deserved it or it came out of the blue, tell us of heartwarming, selfless acts by others.
Failing that, what nice things have you done for other people, whether they liked it or not?

I will never own another dogWhen my family dog had to be put down, I travelled home from uni, my older brother travelled down to my parents and we paid for the vet to come to the house. We were all with the dog when she was put down.
NEVER. EVER. AGAIN.

My neighbours have dogs2 of them have springer spaniels (like my old family dog) so I have pets by proxy.

My Muffinis half welsh-collie, half staffie, all anti-social. I likes her, but she does whiff

My parentsnever considered another dog either.
My dog (a cocker spaniel) had a heart condition (a common trait in this breed). We moved to Glasgow around the time it started to show itself. This dog had been by my side all my life, and my mum had picked it personally.
One morning, they took it to the vet to check on her, as they did every other week. As they parked the car, and got out, my mum turned to my dad and said "She's gone". At least she died naturally, in my mum's arms, rather than alone in the kitchen, or on the vet's table.
They now have fish. They couldn't get another dog.
