Heroic Humans

Eleven-year-old Hope Balliet is on a mission to raise money for her local shelter.  She decided to start a small business making one-of-a-kind, tie-dyed shoes.  She then uses the proceeds to make donations to her local shelter.

A Texas auto parts store employee helped save the life of at least one dog by refusing to sell antifreeze to a deranged woman who was hell-bent on killing a stray who was roaming around her neighborhood.

Justin Weynant was working his shift at O’Reilly Auto Parts when a woman came in and asked a question he never thought he’s hear.

Sunday seemed like an ordinary day for visitors at the Davis Islands Dog Beach in Tampa.  But when a dog nearly drowned, the right people happened to be in the right place to save her life.

Humans and dogs were enjoying themselves when suddenly they noticed that something was awry: Xena, a yellow Lab who had just gone in after a ball, hadn’t emerged from the water.

On June 18, 2015, Amparo, Ana Rama, and Tere Sanchez, three women who work in animal rescue in Cartagena, Spain, with El Portalico saved two four-month-old puppies who were dumped in a tar well. The mixed puppies were covered in oil, and thanks to the women’s non-stop efforts to save them, the dogs now named Chapa and Pote, are alive.
