Injured

Carmen, a nine-year-old boxer, has recovered enough to go home with her human uncle after being pulled from the house fire that killed her dad.  When she was found, she was lying on top of her dad’s face, trying to shield him from the smoke and fire.

The heroine’s homecoming is bittersweet for Phil Ledford, whose brother’s life was tragically claimed by the February 5^th fire that ravaged his Ohio house.

On February 9, 2015, a three to six-month-old terrier puppy from Tucson, Ariz., was hit by car and left for dead on the side of Drexel Road, but thanks to an animal lover who stopped and helped the injured puppy, the dog is on her road to recovery.

The young dog, now called Charity, was left with fractured hind legs, pelvis and femur. Even though she was unable to walk or stand when found, veterinarians are hopeful the puppy will be able to walk again because the pet never lost her ability to wiggle her tail.

Firefighters from Lima, Peru, were responding to a automobile collision when their rescue mission switched from rescuing humans to rescuing a canine.
