In a treacherous, disheartening 24-hour news cycle, sometimes good news is addictive, especially when that good news involves a tiny puppy.

Photographer Fared Alhor was photographing the remnants from last week's raid, the one that ended in the death of the Islamic State leader, when he came across a tiny, hurt puppy.

"I turned around and, accidentally, I saw a puppy standing next to his mom," or rather his mom's body.

"He was howling and sounded sad," Alhor said. After figuring out nobody else was going to take on the responsibility of the small pup, he took matters into his own hands and drove with the puppy tucked in his jacket on a motorcycle for 20 miles to reach a friend's home.

Editor's Tip: When creating a portrait, the background behind the subject can either enhance the shot or detract from the subject. To ensure the background in your portraits does the former and not the latter, invest in a good photography background. Photography backgrounds are easy to set up, and if you purchase a vinyl background, they're extremely easy to clean and care for. There are tons of designs and styles you can choose from, so you can customize the look of your portraits to suit your aesthetic.

Giving the puppy away was obviously doomed from the start. The pup, Bobe (pronounced like Bobby), is now living with Alhor.

If you feel like donating to buy Bobe some food or a dog house, Ernesto's Sanctuary, the clinic that is handling Bobe's checkups, is accepting money.
