Heroic Humans

From the Speranza Animal Rescue in Pennsylvania:

I got a call this morning regarding a stray dog in Harrisburg. She was seen sleeping on a lady’s front porch.

By the time I got there she had left… I decided to drive around for a few minutes and that’s when I spotted her – eating out of a pile of trash.

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.

In 2011, Fukushima, Japan, experienced a massive earthquake that damaged the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. Anyone living within the plant’s reach was evacuated. Sadly, most people abandoned their pets. Naoto Matsumura lived in Tomioka, Japan, he owns a farm and like everyone in the area, he too evacuated. However, he has been the only person to return to the radioactive town and he did it to take care for his farm animals and the many pets abandoned to their own fate.
