Today’s post will put a smile on your face, and make you feel all warm and fuzzy. It is a collection of photos of first responders helping animals. These unsung heroes help restore my faith in humanity by showing compassion toward the most vulnerable and helpless.

Heartwarming, all of them! That koala one especially tugs at the heart strings.
ReplyDeleteYes, the koala does it for me, too. Just so darn sweet...
DeleteMartha, I needed this bit of "positivity" today. Thanks for the feel-good post!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that it provided you with the 'positivity' that you needed! If these photos don't do it, nothing else will.
DeleteThat little kitten's face under the mask - so cute. Actually, they all are!
ReplyDeleteI know... How sweet is it that the kitten is helped with the mask?
DeleteAmazing photos. Thx for sharing these
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed!
DeleteThanks for the beautiful post... Really amazing...
ReplyDeleteThey really are amazing! There are good people in this world.
DeleteI saved a lost kitten once, nobody else cared except I. Kinda sad.
ReplyDeleteI care Adam. Good on you!
DeleteI care, too!!
DeleteI just love the looks on the human faces. So tender and concerned.
ReplyDeleteThat's what really gets to me. Makes me believe - at least for awhile (LOL) - that there are nice people out there!
DeleteHeartwarming. Loved the ducklings
ReplyDeleteI KNOW! That is just adorable!
DeleteOhhhhhhhhhh... that koala... and that cat in the first picture... just look at his expression! But the men's expressions are just beautiful too -- absolutely gorgeous with such kindness and tenderness :*)
ReplyDeleteIt's the expressions that really get to me. The cat in the first photo looks so frightened and vulnerable. It really pulls at the heartstrings. That last photo gets to me simply by the way the animals paw is touching the human's hand. It's such a kind and loving gesture. A gesture of compassion and care.
