Nice One Passes You On to Good News Now

All good things must come to an end. However, we at Nice One hate to say goodbye -- so we'll just say so long for now.

During our time with you, we've been blown away by stories of human kindness including John Mayer singing 'Happy Birthday' to a group of surprised teens and James Taylor replacing a fan's iPod. We were amazed at the generous tipping that sent Kristina in Oregon to cosmetology school and Jessica in Indiana to college. People impressed us when one found and returned $7,500 and an 11-year-old turned in $1,000 she came across.

There are many, many more nice stories out there, and to keep you connected to them, we're handing the baton off to our friends at Good News Now, who will gladly bring you the latest positive and uplifting stories to be found. Thank you for coming to us, and please check them out for your daily dose of happiness.

Boy Drives When Dad Passes Out

A 6-year-old Nebraska boy named Tustin Mains saved the day when his father passed out at the wheel. Suffering from low blood sugar, Phillip Mains' foot came off the gas pedal, and little Tustin hopped onto his lap to steer their SUV to safety.

Roger Freeze, a police officer, saw the boy behind the wheel and sprang into action. He ran to the truck and jammed the shifter into park. Said Police Chief Martin Gutschenritter, "[Tustin is] a very special young man. He was able to take quick action when his dad was incapacitated, and we are very proud of him."

John Mayer Sings 'Happy Birthday' to Fan

A group of teenage girls saw John Mayer eating with some friends and totally "started swooning and screaming." Rock stars are probably used to this sort of treatment, but what happened next was a treat!

Mayer learned that one of the girls was celebrating her 18th birthday, so he began serenading her with 'Happy Birthday to You'! He even capped off the joyous moment with a kiss on her cheek. Now that's a nice one!

Stray Pup Saves Stray Tot

Out of her own maternal instincts, a stray discovered a living newborn girl abandoned in a plastic bag near the Ngong Forests in Nairobi, Kenya. This canine hero carried the girl, known as Angel, and layed her down with her own litter of pups. "She is doing well, responding to treatment, she is stable. ... She is on antibiotics," said a hospital spokeswoman.

The media in Nairobi have for too long reported on the tragic stories of abandoned children in this poverty-stricken region of Africa. However, this heartwarming rescue has inspired citizens to donate baby clothes and diapers to the youngster -- and has thrown the child abandonment issue in Kenya to the international spotlight.

Vladimir Putin's Singing Saves the Day

Former Russian president and the country's current prime minister Vladimir Putin gets a lot of flak for being fearsome and terrorizing and dictatorial ... and, well, you get the picture -- but recently he's been acting like more of a nice guy.

Katya Kazakova, a student at a Moscow private school for the daughters of Russia's military, got nervous and forgot the words to the old Russian war song 'The Dugout,' while singing for Putin and the millions watching live on national television. The soft and melodious singing of this world leader saved the youngster from embarrassment when Putin joining her in a beautiful duet of the former Soviet Union's most famous World War II jig.

Struggling Store Owners Help Out Struggling Farmer

While feeling the crunch of their struggling business, Massachusetts furniture store owners Hazel and Nazih Zebian found a sad tale on the Internet. They read about Abu Sayed in Cairo, Egypt, who lost all his pigs to a government crackdown and was unable to feed his family.

The Zebians, realizing the man's situation was far more dire than their own, sent the man enough money to replace his animals -- a total of $1,125.

Said Sayed about the couple's contribution, "I was astounded when I found out there are people who care and are still good. They are good people. Human beings should support one another and they are a good example of that."

Stars Make a 'Titanic' Donation

When stars pitch in to help, it's a Nice One! Just like stories of when the Killers hooked up a fan, or when country superstar Reba McEntire sang for a sick coach. Then we heard this story!

Ninety-seven-year-old Millvina Dean is the last survivor of the 1912 Titanic disaster. She's had to resort to auctioning off some of her Titanic mementos to help pay her nursing home bills. When author and photographer Don Mullan found this out, he called on 'Titanic' movie stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet and the film's director James Cameron to pitch in -- and they donated $30,000 to help Dean out.

Dog Saves Couple From Mountain Lion

This dog sure is man's best friend!

William Morse was walking with his wife and his pooch, Hoagie, in California's Cleveland National Forest. The couple found themselves confronted by a 100 pound mountain lion. Hoagie, who was a few feet away, saw the wildcat approach his owners and sprang into action. The loyal pup fought the mountain lion for about eight seconds before the aggressive feline gave up and ran away.

Hoagie had to be treated at a nearby animal hospital, but he'll be OK. Said William Morse, "You couldn't ask for a better dog at this time. He saved our life."

Eight-Year-Old Drives Sick Grandma to Safety

Eight-year-old Emma Hicks, from Cleburne, Texas, is not only a quick thinker but a precocious driver. When her grandmother, Jeannie Mendoza, blacked out while behind the wheel of her SUV, little Emma unbuckled her seat belt and maneuvered the car through a fence and into a shed where it eventually stopped. It turns out Emma's driving skills were enough to avoid hitting a telephone pole.

Said her grandmother, "She seems like she's more than 8 years old to me; [more] like a little grown-up, you know."
