Good Samaritan

Would you cross four lanes of speeding traffic on a highway to rescue a dog that has been hit by a car? Vero Salgado, a woman in Mexico did just that, when she saw a German shepherd mix taking cover along the expressway’s median.

In Melbourne, Australia, a 20-year-old man was standing on Brighton Pier for a memorial scattering of his grandmother’s ashes when he was called into action to rescue a Maltese-shitzu dog that had been blown off of the pier by gale force winds.

Lucy, a boxer from eastern Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, wouldn’t be alive today if it wasn’t for Amy and Darryl Costello. The couple jumped into action to save the dog’s life when they over heard on their fishing boat’s radio that Lucy had fallen from a cliff and was being washed away from the cliff’s rocks were she was clinging to life.

Three stray dogs from San Juan, Argentina, now have a better life thanks to San Juan’s National University students and its security team.

The three strays, named Negrita (Black), Victor Hugo, and Batman, used to roam the streets surrounding the university, until one of the strays was injured by a car and needed medical assistance.

When Jadiel, Fernanda, Francisco, Montserrat, Saúl and Juanito, found an injured puppy in their town, Valle del Puebla, Mexicali, Mexico, they knew just what to do. They picked up the dog – that had a mangled rear leg – cared for him, and turned to adults for help. However, they didn’t turn to their parents for help. No, they called a local radio program, Radiopatrulla, and asked for help.
