FIREFIGHTERS GIVE A WHOLE LOTTA LOVE TO LITTLE HUMMINGBIRD

The guys hand-fed the bird with sugar water and firefighter Jim Santucci's daughter Sidney named the bird "Sacha". When it comes to injured animals there's never a guarantee of what may come next, but there is undeniable beauty in the efforts of these great men.

LETTER TO THE FAMILY WHO THREW THIS CAT AWAY FOR USING HER LITTER BOX "LOUDLY":

They threw things at her, hollered at her and chased her away. The more they yelled, the more she tried to hide her bathroom habits and go when she knew everyone was asleep. She made higher and higher mounds of litter, hoping she could h...

FALLEN BABY BLUE JAYS GET EMERGENCY NEST
Written by Angela Norton of Michigan
One day my husband tried to take down a bird’s nest that was partly connected to our electrical wiring on the outside of our house, fearing it could cause a fire or a short. He knocked down the overhead nest with a long handled rake, and to our dismay, found it had four baby blue jays in it.

Written by Brigitta MacMillan of British Columbia, Canada

Wet snow was falling and I felt worried, so at 9:30 I walked around hoping to find her in the quiet of the ev...

MAN RISKS LIFE SAVING LEOPARD CUBS WHILE GROWLING MOTHER LOOKS ON
Written by Karen Paolillo of the Turgwe Hippo Trust
The downside of living in Africa is not the supposed dangers of animals being red in tooth and claws but instead the little guy that can really bring you down. In this case the malaria mosquito. Normally both Jean-Roger and I get malaria at the same time, the mosquito having made sure it bites both of us! Once, Jean-Roger was nearly recovered but not up to heavy physical work, a...
