He mentioned in his post, that “She didn’t open her eyes for 10 days.” Baby was only weeks old when he found her, so she was not yet able to open up her eyes. But on day 11, she finally did!

Firefighters have one of the toughest jobs out there. They battle smoke and flame to save those in need and sometimes those in need aren’t always humans. This little pup was trapped inside of a smoke-filled house until the firefighter swept him up in his arms and rushed him out of the house to safety. Now time to get him all cleaned up and hydrated!

This man was enjoying a day relaxing at the beach when all of a sudden a dolphin came too close to shore. The dolphin rode the waves a little too far into the beach and ended up getting himself beached on the sand. With no current to drag him back out to sea, he was trapped there. The man quickly rose to action and lifted the dolphin from the sand and returned him to the ocean.
