Camberley Kate, and her stray dogs in England. She never turned a stray dog away, taking care of more than 600 dogs in her lifetime. 1962.

This photograph from 1962 shows Camberley Kate, born Kathleen Pearce, a beloved figure in the town of Camberley, Surrey. Known for her cart full of dogs, she spent much of her life rescuing and caring for strays, earning her the affectionate nickname “Camberley Kate.”

Kate lived modestly and had very little herself, yet she devoted everything she could to the animals that others abandoned. She never turned away a stray, no matter how sick, hungry, or neglected. Over the course of her lifetime, she is said to have cared for more than 600 dogs, providing them with food, shelter, and companionship. Her cart, marked simply “Stray Dogs,” became a familiar sight on the streets of Camberley, a symbol of her tireless compassion.

Her work came at a time when organized animal rescue charities were far less widespread than today, and individuals like Kate filled the gap through personal dedication. For locals, she embodied kindness and perseverance, often relying on donations of food or money to keep her mission alive.

🐾 Stories like Kate’s remind us of the incredible bond between humans and animals—and one of the most famous tales of loyalty comes from a dog who waited for his owner every single day. Check the first comment to read it.

Esther "Essie" Malone was born in 1916 in Savannah, Georgia, where her family ran a small corner grocery in a Black neighborhood hit hard by the Great Depression. By 1931, at 15, Essie stepped in after her father’s illness, managing the store as customers traded goods for credit amid widespread poverty. She stretched meager supplies—bartering rice and molasses for fish or firewood—keeping the shelves stocked with ingenuity.
In 1934, a hurricane flooded the store, but Essie salvaged what she could, drying goods on the porch and reopening within days. By 1937, she expanded with a garden out back, growing vegetables to sell and share with the hungry. During World War II, Essie rationed supplies for the war effort, earning community trust. Post-war, she turned the store into a cooperative, employing neighbors. Reflecting on her life, Essie told her daughter, “The Depression emptied our bins, but I grew hope from the dirt.”

Drive-in restaurants were hugely popular, but this one stood out by eliminating the need for roller-skating servers. The Motormat Drive-In, created by Kenneth C. Purdy in 1948 Los Angeles, delivered meals to cars on sliding trays that traveled along rails. The small awnings added a charming detail to the setup.
