Heroes

Anthony's beginning journey as an angelologist.

A golf course became an unexpected runway in a young pilot’s incredible emergency landing. The aircraft’s stunning emergency landing on the course was all captured on camera. Watch the short but unbelievable clip to see the plane landing in the middle of a course.

Everyone has hobbies and pastimes—things that let them kick back and relax. Hobbies can be helpful for our mental health. They can help calm our nerves and take our minds off those people and situations that induce stress and worry. If you don’t have a favorite hobby, picking one up is probably a good idea.

For many people, golf is their chosen hobby. They enjoy spending their free time out on the green, shooting a round of nine or 18. Personally, putt-putt is the closest I get to playing actual golf. The few times I have played golf, I’ve found it incredibly dull and slow, but maybe that’s the entire point?

For golfers on one course in Los Angeles, their round of golf was anything but dull and slow. While they were playing, they witnessed an airplane on the course—yes, an airplane used the course as a runway. A clip posted on YouTube captures the unbelievable sight.

The plane was piloted by Jim Moret, a 21-year-old who had recently gotten his license. The clip states that while flying the friendly skies, the plane’s engine quit working, forcing him to make an emergency landing. He quickly spotted two options – a soccer field with children or the golf course. The young man promptly chose the golf course.

The video doesn’t mention if there were any injuries involved in the emergency landing, but Jim’s first action after getting back on solid ground seems to indicate that no one was hurt. He called his mother.

“I just had to make a landing at a golf course, everything’s OK,” Jim told his mother. “Because I didn’t want my mom to freak out, and then she called me about 10 minutes later, after seeing everything all over the news, bawling her eyes out.”

2 Timothy 1:7 “For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of self-control.”

Some heroic officers rushed to rescue a child with autism from a busy, dangerous highway. The law enforcement officials put their own safety at risk when they ran out onto a California highway to keep a young man safe from harm. Watch the short but powerful clip to see officers in action.

Society’s definition of what makes for a hero is incredibly wrong, embarrassingly so. Far too many believe that someone running for and elected to public office is a hero. An individual who casts votes in Congress or issues an endless and far-reaching lineup of executive orders is in no conceivable way a hero. Neither is someone who can put a ball through a hoop or appear on television and recite lines written by someone else.

Real, true heroes act without regard for or concern for themselves. They aren’t seeking fame, power, wealth or trying to benefit themselves in any way. Instead, they do and act in the well-being of others, often people they do not even know. That is precisely what a handful of police officers did when they rushed to save a young man from a busy highway.

The clip posted on YouTube explains the situation, stating that the situation began after the 11-year-old with autism ran out of a supermarket. After running from the grocery store, the young man was reported missing, as his family could not locate him.

Less than an hour after the child’s family phoned 911 to alert authorities of the situation, a dispatcher who was headed home spotted the young man near an on-ramp. Officers on the scene attempted to apprehend the child, but that proved to be easier said than done.

The 11-year-old climbed onto the highway and started running on the shoulder of a busy road. Officers gave chase and eventually caught the young man. Thankfully, there were no injuries.

Psalm 34:17 “The cry of the upright comes before the Lord, and he takes them out of all their troubles.”

A group of heroic police officers saved an unconscious 2-year-old girl who had fallen into a pool. The youngster was not breathing when officers arrived on the scene, but they refused to give up on her. Watch the short but powerful clip to see the officers save the child’s life.

Life is a precious gift and should be treated as such and protected in every way possible. It’s a series of unpredictable events, and we never know what may happen from one moment to the next. Anyone who says they know what will happen the next year, day or hour is either a liar or insane. Unfortunately, as we all likely know, a loved one could be here one minute and then gone the next. Life can change instantly, in a moment, for either better or worse.

As a clip posted on YouTube shows, a young child’s life was in danger. She had fallen into a pool, was unconscious and not breathing. That was the situation a handful of emergency responders encountered when they arrived on the scene. Immediately, they started performing life-saving maneuvers on her, desperately and frantically trying to get her breathing again.

The child, who was not breathing when officers arrived on the scene, did not have a pulse, had purple lips and her skin was pale, an officer said in an interview. But her frightening state did not stop the officers from trying.

Suddenly, after what likely felt like forever, the young girl began breathing, trying to get air into her lungs. After the youngster regained consciousness and started breathing again, she was rushed to the hospital.

Those officers saved that little one’s life. She was on the brink of death, and they rescued her. Those men and women deserve all the praise and recognition they receive because of their heroic, life-saving actions.

Psalm 107:28 “Then they send up their cry to the Lord in their sorrow, and he gives them salvation out of all their troubles.”

A heroic canine saved the day by finding a lost child in Arizona. The youngster had been missing for hours when the dog located the missing toddler. Watch the short but powerful clip to hear how the dog found the missing child.

In today’s highly divisive, incredibly polarizing climate, reaching a consensus on anything is nearly impossible. However, there is one thing most people can agree on: animals are wonderful, extraordinary creatures. Even people who don’t have pets still have a soft spot in their hearts for those cute, furry, four-legged critters. How could you not?

They are some of Earth's most loving, loyal and dependable beings. Show an animal even the smallest amount of attention, love and kindness, and they will be your friend for life. They will never forget the love and kindness shown to them and will treat you similarly.

In addition to being loving and dependable, animals are even literal lifesavers, as was the case for a child in Arizona. A clip posted on YouTube explains how a rancher’s dog, Buford, found a 2-year-old child who had been missing for hours in Arizona.

Typically, Buford guards and protects Scotty Dunton’s ranch, patrolling the grounds.

“It’s in their blood, you know?” Scotty Dunton, Buford’s owner, said. “They’re guardians and stuff.”

Later in the clip, Scotty adds that he noticed something strange as Buford was doing his rounds.

“Way there, I see Buford coming down the deal right there with a little blond-haired boy with him,” Scotty said.

That child Buford had found had been reported missing, having wandered away into the Arizona wilderness. Search and rescue teams had been out looking for the young man for 16 hours without success.

The clip mentions that the hero pup found the child sleeping underneath a tree nearly seven miles from his home.

Genesis 1:21 “And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”

A group of elephants instinctively protected the young in a heartwarming earthquake response. The massive creatures knew precisely what to do when the ground shook. Watch the short but amazing clip to see the sweet and precious moment when the elephants banded together to protect their young.

Most people would like to believe they are beyond prepared in the event of an emergency. We all hope that whenever an emergency strikes, we will act in helpful and constructive ways. No one wants to be the person who freezes, unable to do much of anything when something bad and unfortunate happens.

Planning and preparing in case of an emergency are vital. It’s good to know how one is supposed to respond when an emergency arises. But will we really know if that’s how things will go? The only way to know for sure is to be in the middle of an emergency. Hopefully, all that training and knowledge will pay dividends at that time.

In a clip posted on YouTube, a group of elephants knew exactly what to do when encountering an earthquake. The elephants at the San Diego Zoo immediately stopped what they were doing and gathered in the center of their enclosure. They then formed what is described as an “alert circle,” with the smallest animal in the middle.

Mindy Albright, with the San Diego Zoo, explained what and why the elephants did what they felt the ground rumbling.

“Elephants are very in tune to their environment, and picking up environmental cues, allows them to make decisions,” she said. “And they sensed something was off and potentially dangerous.”

Later in the clip, she describes what the animals did as a “defense mechanism” that elephants will do to protect the family unit.

Animals are fascinating creatures and constantly find new ways to amaze us.

Genesis 1:21 “And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”

A fearless woman fought an alligator to save her dog. She had rescued her beloved pup from the gator, which had her dog’s entire head in its mouth. Watch the short but powerful clip to hear how she jumped into action to save her precious dog’s life.

Most people, even those who do not currently have pets, love and adore animals. Even if they aren’t the biggest animal person and would rather not have a pet, they still likely appreciate them. How can you not? Those cute, furry, four-legged creatures are part of God’s creation, just like you and me.

Once we bring them into our homes, those pets quickly become part of the family. There isn’t much we wouldn’t do for them. For one Florida woman, that is most certainly the case. In a clip posted on YouTube, she recalled the scary incident in which she found herself wrestling with a gator to save her dog’s life.

In the clip, the woman, Kim Spencer, and her pup were out on an evening walk. It was part of their nightly routine, but soon enough, this walk became anything but routine. An alligator quickly appeared and latched its jaw down onto her dog. The pup’s entire head was inside the gator’s mouth!

“She’s facing it,” Kim said. “It’s facing her, and it suddenly jumped at her and got her.”

With little time to think about what to do, Kim basically reacted and did the only thing she could at that point: she jumped on the gator and tried to pry the animal’s jaw open.

“I guess that’s where I stopped thinking, and I just dove on it,” she said. “Jumped on it, straddled it, as lady-like as that is. No, for real, for real, and was trying to pry its jaws open.”

Somehow, Kim won that battle. She was able to separate the gator’s jaws and free her dog. Kim and her pup both came away from their scary encounter with a few cuts and scrapes and needing some stitches.

What an amazing story!

Genesis 1:21 “And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, and after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”

A teen stepped in and helped save his stepdad during an emergency. The young man wasted no time and knew exactly what to do when his stepdad experienced a heart attack. Watch the short but powerful clip to hear what the young man did that helped to save his stepdad’s life.

Life is a series of wholly and completely unexpected events. Anyone who says they know what is going to happen tomorrow, the next day after or any day after that is either insane or a liar. Sure, we all have vague, general ideas of how things may turn out, but to say we know exactly how events will go is a lie.

Sadly, because of the unpredictability of life, loved ones and friends can be here one minute and gone the next. None of us are promised tomorrow. A clip posted on YouTube mentions how one family nearly lost one of its members, but a teenager stepped in and knew exactly what to do to help keep his stepdad alive.

The clip states that Michael Reese had suffered a “massive heart attack” and was found near the bottom of the stairs by his wife, Jennifer. Jennifer and her 15-year-old son, Anthony, called 911, who said they needed to begin performing CPR on Michael immediately.

Jennifer had no idea what to do, but Anthony did and jumped right in and started performing the life-saving maneuver.

“He never told me he learned CPR,” Jennifer said. “He was staying very composed. It was me that was panicking.”

Less than 10 minutes later, first responders were on the scene and provided Michael with the much-needed medical help. However, he still understands how vital Anthony’s swift and decisive actions were in that moment.

“He’s the reason I’m here today,” Michael said. “I thank him for my life.”

2 Timothy 1:7 “For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and a of a sound mind.”

A teacher reunited with a former student he helped rescue and escape an abusive household. It was an emotional moment between the schoolteacher and the young woman he helped more than 20 years earlier. Watch the short but powerful and moving clip to hear how the observant teacher helped save the young woman’s life.

Teachers are people who have been placed in important positions. They interact with young people daily through their crucial and necessary work in the classroom. Teachers are molding the next generation. What they do and say in those classrooms will have repercussions for years.

As one clip posted on YouTube shows, observant teachers can and do literally save the lives of their students. That happened when a kindergarten teacher, Richard Goforth, noticed something unusual about one of his students, Ashley Mabry. He spotted a wound on the side of the little girl’s face.

As it turned out, Ashely was being abused by her biological father. She says she was told to lie and keep quiet about what was happening. But after Richard questioned his young student about her injury, she never returned to that abusive household. Ashely credits Richard with saving her life all those years ago as a kindergarten student.

“I came in, and I had a severe head injury,” she said. “And so, he questioned me about that, and we never had to go back home after that. He pretty much saved my life.”

Richard knew he had to do something and wouldn’t stop until her situation changed.

“Somebody had hurt one of my babies, flat out, and I didn’t, wasn’t going to stand for it,” Richard said.

The video adds that Ashley and her three siblings did not go back to that abusive household and were all later adopted by another family.

“She’s just been a blessing to us the whole time, and we’re so proud of her,” Ashely’s adoptive mother said.

Richard hopes that other children in a similar situation as Ashley realize and understand that they can talk to their teacher about what is happening to them.

Psalm 32:8 “I will give you knowledge, teaching you the way to go; my eye will be your guide.”

A gas station worker saved a customer from losing money to a scam. The kind, caring and vigilant man helped a woman avoid falling prey to a fraudulent operation and handing over a large sum of money. Watch the short but powerful clip to see what the man working at a convenience store did to stop a woman from handing over a ton of money to a scammer.

Evil is very real and prevalent in our world. Sadly, it can be spotted nearly everywhere we turn and look, including in how we treat and interact with one another. People can and will inflict immense amounts of pain and hurt on each other, often for no other reason than just because they can.

But even when people are being horrible and downright awful to each other, glimmers of goodness and hope can often be found. That was most certainly the case when a woman was the target of a well-organized and thought-out scam. The scammers were trying to swindle the woman out of thousands of dollars when a kind and benevolent gas station worker stepped in and stopped it.

In a clip posted on YouTube, the man, Eric Stewart, knew something was off when he spotted Lista Clark on her phone while standing at the gas station’s Bitcoin machine. He said that is always a red flag for a possible scam.

The video explains that Lista had gotten text messages with what appeared to be legal documents informing her that she was being charged with bank fraud and conspiracy. Those documents went on to inform her that if she wanted to avoid jail time, she needed to deposit thousands of dollars into an account.

Thankfully, Eric knew what was happening and understood that Lista was the target of a scam, stopping her from handing over more than $6,000.

Philippians 2:4 “Not looking everyone to his private good, but keeping in mind the things of others.”

A 3-year-old hero stepped up during a crisis and conquered his fear. The little guy did what he had to do to help deliver much-needed assistance during a medical emergency, and in the process, he overcame a big fear of his. Watch the short clip to hear about the young man’s heroics during a frightening incident.

While many people may not like it, life is a series of unpredictable events. While being prepared is a good and worthwhile thing, some situations and circumstances will completely surprise us. Most individuals like to know what’s next and what lies ahead, but life doesn’t often work that way.

Emergencies happen often when we least expect them, and that’s when most of our planning and preparation go out the window. Yes, we may have a vague idea of what to do and who to reach out to during stressful times, but we can never be completely sure how we’ll react and what we’ll do when the pressure is on and someone’s life is at stake.

A clip posted on YouTube details how one little guy reacted during a medical emergency and when his help was desperately needed. The 3-year-old, Bridger Peabody, was with his great-grandmother when she slipped outside, hitting her head on a concrete step.

She badly needed a cell phone to dial 911. The only problem was that her cell phone was left in her car, and it was nighttime. Bridger, a 3-year-old who fears the dark, did not let that stop him from helping his beloved great-grandmother.

The clip shows the little guy searching the car for the phone in the dark as he talks himself through the incident. He can be heard telling himself, “Don’t be afraid.” Eventually, the young man locates the phone, and his great-grandmother receives the medical attention she badly needs.

The little guy admits that he was able to be brave and conquer his fear because of what he learned while watching “Paw Patrol.”

Psalm 112:7 “He will have no fear of evil news; his heart is fixed, for his hope is in the Lord.”

Firemen worked frantically to free a sheep stuck inside a wall. Somehow, the animal had gotten stuck behind a wall and could not get out, so emergency responders arrived on the scene to help. Watch the video to watch the firemen work to free the animal from its unusual predicament.

Animals are special and unique creatures that were put on Earth by the same God who created you and me. Dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens and every other critter you can think of are all part of His creation. Sure, some are cuter and cuddlier than others, but they must all still be precious in His sight. Why else would He have put them on Earth?

Because animals are part of the Lord’s creation, they deserve love, kindness and consideration. Treating them in such a way can and does mean bringing some of them into your home as a pet. Part of treating them correctly and thoughtfully can and does also mean coming to their aid and assistance when they are in trouble.

In a clip posted on YouTube, firefighters responded to a scene after hearing scared and strained screams. They learned that a sheep had gotten stuck between two concrete walls. The description states that the animal got into this odd situation during playtime with one of its babies.

The video shows three firemen pulling and tugging on the trapped animal after creating a sizable hole in the wall. Eventually, after much struggle and effort, the men were able to remove the animal from between the walls.

After its release from its odd position, the mother sheep returned to its baby. The animal must have been thrilled and relieved to return to its baby. Let’s hope those two choose a different location to play and chase one another next time. 

Genesis 1:21 “And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”

Corrie Ten Boom shares story of a young disabled boy who is overcome with the Love of God, it had a huge impact on everyone who knew him.

Heroic teens rushed outside to save a man who had fallen on train tracks. The three young men wasted no time getting to someone who needed help. Watch the clip to see and hear about the three teenagers’ life-saving efforts.

Teenagers often get a bad rap. Many people see and think of teenagers as being out-of-control, self-centered, video-game-obsessed individuals who are always looking for ways to bring about destruction and mayhem. Of course, that is painting with a considerably broad brush, which is always a wrong move.

Some teenagers will fit and meet that very narrow description and narrative. For the most part, teenagers aren’t that way at all. That is certainly the case when talking about three Iowa teenagers who saw an elderly gentleman in distress and a potentially life-threatening situation.

In a clip posted on YouTube, three teenage boys recalled seeing an older man fall on train tracks while in class. The clip adds that the unnamed man had trouble returning to his feet. Instead of asking for permission, all three walked out of school and quickly headed to where the man had fallen.

A teacher spotted the three young men as they approached the elderly gentleman. However, by that point, the teacher admitted that they had everything covered.

“Kinda by the time I was out there, they were kind of getting to him and helping him up off his feet,” the high school science teacher said. “And then they started walking him to the bus stop and that’s about two blocks away. And I decided to take out my phone and take a picture.”

What the teacher captured with his photo was a beautiful moment of three heroic young men assisting someone in trouble.

“It was just, you know, a selfless act,” the teacher said. “They didn’t wait and ask for permission. They just said, ‘We’re doing this.’”

Philippians 2:4 “Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.”

A quick-thinking corgi saved the day after his owner’s fall. The dog somehow knew exactly what to do after his owner had a nasty fall. Watch the short video to hear about the canine’s heroic actions during a scary, precarious situation.

It’s been said many times before that dogs are man’s best friend. Canines are some of Earth's most loving, loyal and dependable creatures. All of that is true. However, it is so much more than simply being a friend.

Animals are so much more intelligent than most people would like to admit. These cute, furry, four-legged creatures never cease to amaze with their intelligence. In times of crisis, many animals know what to do and act, helping to deliver lifesaving medical attention in some cases. 

That is precisely the case regarding Waldo, the sweetest, cutest little hero. In a clip posted on YouTube, Waldo’s owner recalls how the pup responded during a terrifying incident on a walk, which was part of their morning routine. However, what happened next was anything but routine.

Jess says that she and Waldo were out on their morning walk when she fell down a hill. She describes the horrible situation she was in at the time.

“And I was going down a hill,” she said. “My body went, and my right leg didn’t, and I heard and felt this massive crack. I knew instantly something was wrong. When I looked at my foot, it was very apparent that I needed an ambulance right away.”

She added that her “body was pointing north, and my foot was pointing east.”

That’s when Waldo kissed Jess on the cheek and ran off to find help. Soon after, Jess said that she could see Waldo tugging and pulling on a stranger’s pant leg; he was trying to guide them to Jess.

Waldo’s heroics weren’t done yet. He also ran off and found Jess’s landlord. Because of the cute corgi’s quick-thinking and heroic actions, Jess received the emergency medical attention that she so desperately needed.

Not only is Waldo adorable, but he’s a hero!

Genesis 1:21 “And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”

A brave 84-year-old man defended himself during an attempted robbery with a pair of jeans. The elderly gentleman refused to let the criminal do anything to or take anything from him. Watch the amazing clip as the man battled against someone looking to harm him.

Sin has utterly destroyed anything and everything it contacts. Nothing is ever made better after encountering sin; things, including our world, only worsen. As a result, we live in a lost and broken world where the impact and influence of sin are, unfortunately, easily visible all around us.

One of the places where sin is most evident is on the news, where crime, death and destruction are documented daily. Flip to any television news broadcast, and within minutes, you’re bound to see a story where a horrible crime was perpetrated against innocent bystanders. Those people just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

In a clip posted on YouTube, one older adult came face-to-face with a criminal, someone attempting to rob him or possibly planning to do worse. However, instead of becoming a victim, the man fought back, using the only thing in his possession at the time, a pair of jeans, to ward off the attacker.

The situation, which appears to take place in a laundry mat, begins with the man trying to fold his clothes. Moments into the clip, a young man dressed in black from head to toe rushes into the establishment and quickly approaches the elderly gentleman.

The criminal lunges at and reaches for the man’s back pocket, likely hoping to find a wallet full of cash. But the 84-year-old was not having it. He immediately turned around and started fighting back, and even landed a few punches to the criminal’s face while holding a pair of jeans.

The criminal momentarily leaves but then returns and again approaches the older man. The criminal in black clothing demands his wallet, but his evil efforts are thwarted as his targeted victim refuses to comply.

Romans 12:21 “Do not let evil overcome you, but overcome evil by good.”

It was one of those days when the sky stretched wide, a canopy to a beautiful day in the great outdoors. It is the kind of day where you half expect God to leave fingerprints in the clouds. And maybe He did, right there on the tangled fence as a kindhearted man frees a struggling kangaroo caught in a fence. 

The man saw her from a distance at first. Her legs thrashed against the wire, her eyes wide with a mix of terror and exhaustion. Kangaroos are strong–wildly strong. Everyone knows their kicks can shatter bones, their strength an untamed force of nature. But there she was, caught in a fenceline she couldn’t escape. 

And isn’t that so much of life? We get tangled in things we never saw coming, caught up in snares we didn’t even know were set. 

The man wearing a bright orange jacket stepped closer to the wild animal and knew he needed to help. With a pair of wire cutters in hand, he knew the risk he was about to take but the risk outweighed the potential tragedy for this wild creature. He knew one wrong move, one startled kick from her could have a terrible outcome for himself. But something inside him said this was his moment to show kindness, choose courage, and to be God’s hands in this moment. 

He knelt slowly, likely speaking to her in a calm voice as he stroked her fur and went to work cutting the wires one by one. With each clip of the wire, he worked methodically, careful not to startle her. Her breathing was heavy, her body trembling. First, one leg, then the other. Then came the difficulty of getting her head untangled as well. The last wire fell away, and for a moment, she didn’t move. She lay there dazed and confused before she finally understood she was truly free. 

That kangaroo leaping into freedom is a reminder that no act of kindness is ever wasted. When we step into the small, sacred moments, we reflect the heart of a God who frees the captives and sets the broken world right again.

Colossians 3:12 "Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience."

One young man, a heroic teen, saved an opposing player’s life during a basketball game and is giving Gold the glory. Without even thinking about it, the young man immediately went to work using his skills and know-how to save another teenager’s life. Watch the video to hear about the heroic moment and see their moving reunion.

Life is precious and incredibly fragile. It’s a gift from the good Lord above that must be cherished and handled with the utmost care. None of us are promised tomorrow, the next hour, minute or second. A loved one could be here one moment and gone the next.

A short but powerful clip posted on YouTube reminds us just how precious life truly is. During a high school basketball game in Oklahoma, 16-year-old Randy Vitales, right after scoring a lay-up, a mere three minutes into the game, collapsed and fell to the floor. He had gone into cardiac arrest. Despite the frightening scene, God had placed the right person in the right place at the right time.

Magnus Miller, a member of the opposing team, immediately stopped and got to work, trying to save Randy’s life. According to the video, Magnus is a trained lifeguard who started using his life-saving skills and knowledge.

“I didn’t have any, like, second thoughts,” he said. “I just jumped right in, took control.”

The 18-year-old hero and Randy reunited in a hospital room. It was an emotional moment. Tears were shed, and the two shared a loving embrace.

“There’s no way you were going to die on that court; I wasn’t going to let you,” Magnus told Randy before giving him a big hug.

Despite his heroic, literal life-saving actions, Magnus does not take the credit. Instead, he gives all the glory to God.

“It’s pretty surreal,” Magnus said. “It’s weird, like, hearing someone say that, ‘You saved his life.’ But honestly, it wasn’t me. It was really God just being there for me and being there for him. Obviously, I didn’t go there to play basketball that day.”

Philippians 2:13 “For it is God which works in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.”

A dog knew to bring its sick pup to a vet clinic so it could receive lifesaving medical attention. The mother clearly understood that her baby was ill and needed help immediately. Watch the sweet, heartwarming video of the dog carrying her sick baby to the vet clinic.

Animals are unique creatures placed on Earth by the good Lord. Those cute, furry, four-legged critters are part of His creation. They are all obviously important and serve a purpose. Why else would He have put them on Earth?

Since God created animals, He gave them a certain level of intelligence and know-how. Quite often, the amount of intelligence that animals possess is surprising. Many people would like to think that animals are unintelligent and incapable of understanding and grasping many things. 
However, an endless string of YouTube videos would prove that thought and theory incorrect.

One video posted on social media shows a canine bringing her sick pup to the veterinary clinic for medical attention. The animal, who was in Turkey, is seen carrying what appears to be a lifeless dog in its mouth.

At first glance, the vet, who responded to the concerned mother, thought the puppy was dead. However, that was not the case, as the veterinarian did detect a light heartbeat. The video shows two men attending to the puppy, working to save the animal’s life.

The clip also shows the mother’s concern for her sick baby. A couple of times throughout, the mom can be seen walking up near the table where the sick puppy is lying.

One outlet reports that the animal was warmed up and was later reunited with its mother.
What an absolutely extraordinary, heartwarming act of love! 

Animals are much more intelligent than most people would like to believe.

Genesis 1:21 “And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”
