In Trotwood, Ohio, a dog is alive and well today thanks to quick acting firefighters who pulled the dog from a burning home. No one other than the pet was home at the time of the blaze. Authorities believe the fire was planned.

Mekane, a certified wilderness air-scenting dog, went missing on Wednesday, October 8, 2014, during a routine exercise in New Columbia, Penn. Though rescuers and animal lovers alike searched the area since she went missing, the rescue dog was not found until three days later.

Mekane’s owner and handler, Brenda Peachey, from Strike K-9 Wilderness Search and Rescue team, noticed the dog went missing when the pooch didn’t return from the exercise.

A stray dog in India was crossing some tracks when the rails shifted and trapped him.  His legs were severed by a train, and he would have succumbed to exsanguination or infection had it not been for the amazing folks at Animal Aid Unlimited, who got him the care he needed.
