On a freezing day in January, an NYPD officer noticed a dog chained to a fence in a city park. The officer hopped out of his cruiser, wrapped the shivering dog in a towel and got him quickly to an area shelter. But when a couple weeks passed and the abandoned dog still didn't have a home, the officer stepped up and made it official: He adopted the pup he rescued and now "Joe" is part of the family.
今年1月一個(gè)寒冷的日子,紐約警察局的一名警官注意到,在一個(gè)城市公園里,一條狗被拴在了柵欄上。警官跳下巡洋艦,用毛巾把瑟瑟發(fā)抖的小狗裹了起來,迅速把它送到了附近的避難所。但幾周過去了,這只被遺棄的狗仍然沒有家,于是這名警官挺身而出,正式宣布:他收養(yǎng)了這只獲救的小狗,現(xiàn)在“喬”是這個(gè)家庭的一員。

When a UPS driver was zipping along his route in rural Missouri in the hectic time right before Christmas, he thought he noticed something in the snow next to the highway. When the eagle-eyed Good Samaritan stopped to check, he found a tiny blind and deaf puppy nearly hidden in the snow. Now named Starla, the itty-bitty puppy was likely discarded because of her disabilities. In addition to being hearing and vision impaired, she was filled with worms and had a hernia. But now she's warm and safe and living in her foster home, all thanks to a guardian angel in a delivery truck.

During a nightmare of a roadside emergency in Kentucky, more than 50 rescuers worked frantically to free people trapped in an overturned RV. One of the passengers was a dog named Lucky who refused to leave while his owner remained caught in the crash. While the emergency crew worked to free him from the scene, the victim stroked the pup, which helped calm them both. Once the scene was cleared, a fire chief and the pup walked down the road and took a break from the chaos. Lucky was reunited with his family later in the day.

When Terry Lauerman, a retired teacher, decided to spend some of his free time volunteering at his local shelter in Green Bay, Wisconsin, he just wanted to brush cats. But a few hours of taking care of kitties sometimes can be tiring, so Lauerman would sometimes take a cat nap with a few of his four-legged friends. His napping breaks went viral, prompting him to encourage people to donate a few dollars for the cats.

When construction workers in Austin, Texas, heard tiny cries, they thought a puppy was trapped somewhere in the debris. But the screams were coming from above as they saw a Chihuahua pup caught in the talons of a hawk. As the little one was flying overhead, he was suddenly dropped in their midst. Amazingly, he had few injuries after his fall and the workers quickly took him to a medical care where he got help for his injuries and then was brought to a foster home. His name? Tony Hawk, of course.
