We are clobbered daily by news of events gone wrong – people not stepping in, exploiting or committing crimes. We are very happy to say that this story offers the exact opposite. These men, women and kids opted to do the right thing – not what was convenient or safe for them – but put themselves out there to help someone else. As you will see, these special “someones” are of both the two and for legged variety!

So let your day be lifted again and again with these wonderful windows into the lives of heroes you’ve never heard about…Enjoy!
