Firefighter Ryan Coleman regularly puts his life on the line to protect people and pets from dangerous fires. As he raced to extinguish one particularly deadly wildfire, a grateful local wasn’t shy about getting up close to say ‘thanks.’

Colman was just going about his job when a gray cat suddenly emerged from the ashes. He tried to get on with his work, but the understandably frightened feline was clearly in need of some human attention.

After it became clear the feline wasn’t going to leave, Colman hoisted the cat up on his shoulder, where s/he happily sat for the rest of the day while he worked. Its anyone’s guess the last time this cat saw his or her family — or what else it’s been through.

Meanwhile, this heartwarming video, which you can watch below, has understandably caused the Internet to basically break in two. Thank you, Captain Coleman, for all of your brave rescue efforts!

Friendships can form across distances and thrive despite differences in age, race and background, they can overcome any difference, even between animal species. Like this Belgian Malinois, Ingo, who found an unlikely friend in an owl named Poldi. 

Kickstarting the generosity for the season of giving, there is an Ikea store located in Catania, Italy, giving shelter to stray dogs during the cold winter season. Customers just couldn’t resist applauding the store’s hospitality, and their effort went viral quickly. This event have brought good Christmas cheer to store customers, who were amazed by what they were witnessing while shopping their way through sets of furniture with dogs getting cozy among them.

The store totally went far beyond customer expectations: “The dogs receive daily food and pampering from IKEA’s employees and customers. Some dogs have even found a family, going home with customers.” This isn’t the first time IKEA showed their support to dogs, as they also partnered up once with Home For Hope’s campaign, encouraging pet adoption by displaying cardboard cutouts of shelter dogs in their stores.

This feels like a warm hug for all equally-concerned dog lovers around the world, a reassurance that many people and businesses are taking steps to give love to stray dogs across the world. Take a look at the following photos of stray dogs having a taste of home as an early gift for Christmas. Don’t forget to spread the spirit of generosity by sharing this post with your friends.
