Man in Wheelchair & Dog Whisked Off Train Track Seconds Before Death

____________________________________________________

Arno Hubert and his dog Nando were crossing the train tracks on New Year’s Eve when the unthinkable happened. Arno’s motorized wheelchair stalled.

Over and over again, the 64-year-old tried to restart the chair, but to no avail. Then, there in the cold morning air, the world took on an ominous silence. On the horizon, a train appeared.

It’s times like this when we all wish that Superman was real. Perhaps he is. An unidentified man who saw the fast approaching train, dove under the closing barriers. He grabbed Arno firmly under the arms and carried him back across the tracks, with Nando running alongside.

If ever any of us find ourselves under death’s dark shadow, may we be lucky enough to find that superhero and the best friend who refuses to leave our side.

Animal Rescue Chase

The Great Animal Rescue Chase celebrates the art of animal rescue with a worldwide race to rescue one million. It’s a free event, open to all, and is perhaps the only global animal rescue event aimed at helping any animal in distress, anywhere in the world. Our ambition is to create a culture of enthusiasm and pride in animal activism. We believe in teaching, by example, that there is a hero in each of us just waiting to be unleashed. Empowered animal lovers can not only save lives, but build the momentum for powerful animal welfare reform.
