Banjo, a 10-month-old poodle-terrier mix was tied to the tracks near Mecca, Calif., earlier this month by a 78-year-old man, officials there say. The engineer of the approaching train saw the man walking away from the tracks and used emergency brakes to stop the locomotive.
Union Pacific special agent Sal Pina arrived on the scene, untied the
pooch and detained the man, who "said his family didn't want the dog
and didn't know what to do".
Officials did not pursue animal-cruelty charges against the man
because he "appeared to be confused or senile and didn't fully
understand what he had done." The man was released to his family. Banjo was rescued and placed for adoption.

A heroic mother dog saved her 10-day-old puppies from a house fire in Santa Rosa de Temuco, Chile on Thursday. Sensing the danger to her babies, she picked the pups up in her mouth and moved them from the burning house to the safety of the nearby fire truck. She then gently placed the pups on the steps of the fire-truck as firefighters fought the blaze. According to SoyChile, the German Shepherd mix named Amanda rescued her pups alongside of firemen when the blaze broke out in her family's home. Amanda and her pups were taken to the veterinarian, but one puppy named Amparo, who had suffered severe burns, later died. The veterinarian said that Amanda's four other puppies were doing really well, but that Amparo had died from her injuries.
The vet, Felipe Lara, said that Amanda had defended her puppies when they tried to take them away from her to care for them. Eventually she let them check over her pups but she wanted to stay with ailing Amparo and did not want to let her from her sight.

Lucy is a service dog that helped Shane Wilson, with his daily activities such as opening doors or helping his owner get up when he falls. Lucy jumped out of the back of Wilson's pick up truck in Commerce, GA, which was 30 miles away from their home. Shane drove that stretch of road for six straight days looking for his companion, until receiving a phone call that Lucy was found and brought over to a veterinary office; Wilson was skeptic due to many false reports that she had been found before, however once he came into the doctor's office and heard her bark he immediately was able to recognize her.
(Becky Davis and Tiffany Scoggins were the women who found Lucy and brought her to the veterinarian office, the even refused the $500 reward. Becky and Tiffany are true Rescue Heroes)
