A worker at DeKalb County Animal Services in Georgia arrived at work in the morning to find the man lying on the sidewalk out front of their shelter. When they woke him up they learned that he had spent the last of his money to take the bus over to them after his dog had gone missing. He was waiting for them to open to see if they had found her.

It turns out that they had. The shelter had picked up a stray two weeks earlier and taken it to their new facility on the other side of town. That’s when the kennel technician did an act of kindness that is going viral. The shelter worker paid for his train ticket so he could get to the other location and reunite with his dog, Tata. 

Their reunion was captured on camera and the shelter wrote, “We see some amazing reunions here at LifeLine’s DeKalb Animal Services, but this one was extra special.” Please wait a few seconds for the video below to load.

  The shelter was so moved by the touching reunion that they waived all of the fees and offered the man assistance through their outreach program – it’s a program that helps the homeless with their dogs. I’m so happy to see that he was reunited with his dog. 

 When a 5-year-old Boxer mix dog was dumped in the parking lot of a church she wasn’t alone, she was dumped with her nine 2-week old puppies. 

 Not only did this poor pooch have to fend for herself but also her nine puppies who she had not long given birth to.

Dumped in the parking lot of an Abilene church. All Rescues are full to bursting. Foster needed asap. Please. Developing...

The heartless person behind this cruel act has not been found but thankfully the mama dog was found by two animal heroes who helped this sweet dog get back on her paws. 

 The frightened dog was found in a church parking lot in Abilene, Kansas. 

A picture was taken of her and posted on social media appealing for the public’s help. Mistie Boerger of Paw Angel Animal Rescue saw the post and knew what she had to do.

“I saw the picture and it just broke my heart and I called Angel and we went and rescued the dogs,” Mistie said, as per the Animal Channel. 

 Mistie drove to the spot where the dogs had been found and put them in the back seat of her car. “I just don’t know how someone could do that, leaving momma and two week old babies,” Mistie said.

The mom needed medical attention and one of her puppies had to be put down after the veterinarian discovered a tumor in its throat. 

 After they received the medical attention they needed Mistie decided to temporarily foster them until they had fully recovered. 

  “They will be staying with me for two weeks and then moved to a permanent foster. They will placed for adoption after they have been spayed and neutered and mom is spayed,” she wrote on Facebook.

 Staff calculated that it would cost $2,500 to look after the dogs until they would be ready to go to a new home.

A Facebook post said the dogs’ food and the supplies needed is now covered but more donations are always needed in case medical complications arise, as is common with rescue animals. 

 It’s disturbing to know that a person would rather abandon a dog and her puppies without any access to food and water and exposed to all kinds of dangers, rather than taking them to a shelter where they at least have a fighting chance. 

 Thank goodness these dogs were rescued by these amazing animal heroes. 

 Mel Gracie, a 25-year-old tattoo artist from Glasgow, saw this heartwarming scene and managed to take a picture. 

She later shared it on Twitter with the caption: “Shout out to this @Morrisons security man keeping this good boy dry. He said, ‘Well, you never know how dogs feel about the rain.’” The photo quickly went viral on social media, and the security guard was soon identified as Ethan Dearman. 

It was not surprising when the internet showered him with praise and thanks for his kind and sweet action. Many people even called him a “hero” and “legend.” 

 In an interview with Insider, Dearman said that he was doing his work when he stumbled upon a lone golden retriever waiting for his owner outside the supermarket. 

When it started raining, he grabbed one of the store’s extra umbrellas to shield him from the downpour. “I try to keep an eye out for dogs,” Dearman shared. He told that this wasn’t the first time he’s held an umbrella for a dog. 

A day before the viral incident, he was helping a husky stay out of the rain. Thanks to the power of internet, the dog’s owner David Cherr, could see the photo. He later posted on Twitter to thank Ethan for his act of kindness. “Thanks to security man @dearmanethan for putting the umbrella over Freddie when it started to rain! So kind! He’s always so nice to my brother Stuart, my Dad and our Freddie! Here’s Freddie when he was a puppy!” 

 David then posted another tweet to explain a little bit about the situation: “Our dog Freddie has went viral after a kind security man put up his umbrella for Freddie when it started raining at the Morrisons near my parents house. Good community vibes. People looking out for each other. He’s always nice to my Dad and brother, it’s nice to hear nice things.” The internet fell in love with the dog and Ethan’s action. 

They even started asking to give Ethan a raise and recognition. “@Morrisons you need to recognise this guy and make him aware of how much the world loves him,” one user replied. 

 Other users quickly responded to the adorable photo, with one writing that Dearman was “a hero.” “What a lovely thing to do,” another added. “Give this kind person a pay rise.” Dearman said that the response has been overwhelming. 

Dearman responded to all the retweets and comments, writing: “Looks like I made a lot of people happy today.” What are your thoughts on this? Be sure to share this heartwarming photo with your friends and family members to make their day brighter and warmer! 

 At Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust, a mom orangutan was captured on camera giving birth and then brought her baby to the staff to show her off in a truly magical moment. 

 The moment was witnessed at the Jersey-based trust, in the U.K., set up by Gerald Durrell, who wrote “My Family and Other Animals”, later adapted into award-winning TV show “The Durrells.” 

 What made this birth even more special is that Dana the Orangutan was thought to be infertile after staff said her fallopian tubes were blocked. The 25-year-old Sumatran orangutan had been suffering a number of issues during her pregnancy and was being closely monitored. 

 But when the moment of birth happened everyone gave her the space she needed and could only watch in awe at this remarkable mom. 

 The footage, which is graphic, shows Dana give birth to her baby and then clear his airways, clean him and detach the umbilical cord. This successful birth, and the first time a Sumatran orangutan has been filmed giving birth, was nothing short of a miracle. 

 The baby was being monitored and an infrared camera was keeping a close eye on the heavily pregnant mom. 

 Although Dana was given the space she needed to give birth, a professional team of vets were on standby in case anything went wrong. Dana delivered her child on her own, and after cleaning her newborn and making sure he’s okay, she then carries him over to zoo staff to show him off, to their astonishment. 

  “This is amazing, she’s come to show us the baby – that is fantastic!” a member of staff can be heard saying in the video.
