Any time you get out of your car on a high-speed road, you’re putting your life at risk.  But for some, the risk is well worth it when an animal is in urgent need of rescue.  That was the case for Rodrigo González, who gladly stopped to help an injured dog that otherwise would have died.

The Dickerson family, from Greenbrier, Tenn., have a routine they follow each and every day. They wake up, get the kids ready for school and then the parents set off for work, but on Tuesday, Feb. 24, 2015, something or better yet, a four-legged someone, was going to change their routine.

When Mr. Dickerson was leaving for work, he heard the cries of a dog coming from his yard, he went to check on the noise and found a puppy frozen to the ground underneath his shed. Immediately, Mr. Dickerson melted the ice and rescued the small pet.
