Make a stop at the inspiration station

Here's our latest round up of inspiring stuff from around the world...

Need a little pick-me-up to get your week on track? Here are a few examples of things going right and people doing good (and a story with a super cute puppy picture!).

• A dog charity in the UK is asking puppy owners to sign up to a new study which will follow the pups to better understand their health and behaviour.

• A new bill heading through US Congress is designed to allow not-for-profit organisations the ability to access retirement plan start-up tax credits the same way as for-profit organisations do, giving more benefits to their staff.

• No more ghosting. Firms in Ontario in Canada will soon be required by law to notify all candidates who are interviewed for a role of a result within 45 days.

• The reintroduction of an apex predator into a food chain is helping Aspen forests regenerate in Yellowstone National Park.

• A NZ charity is aiming to fit out a catamaran to offer people with disabilities, chronic health conditions and mental health challenges the chance to get out on the ocean.
