GOLDEN Rainbow and, below right, doggy wagging its tail

- BY OLIVER LEWIS

THE happiest everyday sights include a rainbow, a baby's smile and a clear night sky full of stars.

A poll of 2,000 adults found 28% crack a smile when they catch sight of a dog so excited it can't stop wagging its tail.

And 24% love nothing more than seeing an older couple walking hand-in-hand but a random act of kindness tops the list for 39%.

A sleepy pet stretching instantly lifts the mood for 22%, and the same amount have their hearts warmed by the sight of ducks waddling in a line.

A fifth added seeing strangers help each other out like carrying shopping or picking up something dropped - is one of the most wholesome, feelgood things in everyday life.
