Animal rescue

You hear stories about someone being at the right place at the right time and saving someone whose choking. But I bet you've never heard a story like this.

Lansing, Michigan's Fire Department went above and beyond by saving a tea party and a family's snake who'd become trapped in a cup handle.

Found frozen to the ground, Elliot the cat is recovering thanks to a very special Christmas 'angel'.

The animals were living in "highly unsanitary conditions" according to animal control officers.

The dogs were found in poor condition at a mill in Louisiana.

Thanks to Animal Control, Allegan Police, and the Wayland Fire Department, a horse is safe after being trapped in an icy pond.

What an incredible story! You may want to have tissues handy for this one.
