Firefighter Paul Alvarado rescues tiny puppy from burning brush

- California, USA -

Firefighter Paul Alvarado with the Bakersfield Fire Department Engine Company 6, rescued a pup trapped underneath burning brush.

The department responded on Monday morning, October 21, to Bliss Street near the intersection of South Union Avenue and East Terrace Way.

The tiny furbaby had burns on his hind legs and his tiny mouth.

Pet Matchmaker provided initial care until the vet’s office opened.

The pooch was named Fuego (Spanish for ‘fire’).

Ms. Morgan Sokolow with Pet Matchmaker said: "He's very little. He's got his eyes closed still. We think that mom was able to get the other babies out and took off with them but was unable to reach this one because he was underneath the fire.”

Fuego will spend about two months in a foster home before being ready for adoption.

Many thanks Officer Alvarado for rescuing this tiny precious life!

Fearless dog scares away burglars

- Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA -

Two burglars attempted to break into a property on Old Dam Neck Road, but they did not take into account that a fearless and protective member of the family was not going to let them in!

The heroine who saved the day is Penelope, the gorgeous furbaby in the pictures.

Mr. Tim Ryan, interviewed by NEWS 3 WTKR, explains in the video how he thinks the two robbers managed to get into his yard and almost succeeded in entering the home.

He said his two teenage daughters were in the house at that moment.

Penelope scared the criminals away with her powerful barking.

Virginia Beach Police are looking for the criminals, so far no matching finger prints.

Well done Penelope!!!

A team of angels has come together to save the precious life of a heron

- Wisconsin, USA -

The bird was spotted near Burlington hardly able to survive on his own.

He was missing the top third of his beak and was consequently underweight.

He also had an injury to the right side of his head and eye.

A dentist, two vets, and a hospital joined forces to put him back together and give him a second chance in life.

Dr. Ann Limberg, who is a dentist, took an impression of the beak and fabricated it.

A prosthetic bill was created and attached so that the bird could eat on his own.

Dr. Limberg compared that to a denture in the case of a human patient.

An hour after the procedure, the heron was able to eat on his own.

He is recovering at Fellow Mortals Wildlife Hospital in Lake Geneva.

Staff believe that he was hit by a car.

They also believe that the bird's beak could grow back in and he could likely be released.
