Heroic Humans

A 70-year-old woman risked her life by jumping into the frigid waters of Avon River in Bath, England, after her Jack Russell Terrier fell into the water and struggled to stay alive. Thankfully, both woman and pet were pulled to safety.

Happy Veterans Day to all you vets out there!  While on active duty, having a pet can be one of the only things that helps bring stability and comfort during times of extreme stress, and the pets left behind at home can be one of the greatest things to look forward to.  In honor of those who have served, here are some of the best photos of solders and dogs – and even a couple kitties.

In a Brazil, a terrified dog was trapped in shallow canal. The flowing water had a fast current and the dog sought refuge a top accumulated garbage in the middle of the canal. Thanks to concerned neighbors who spotted the distressed dog, the pet was rescued.
