Dog Rescues Kittens Left For Dead On Roadside
In a heroic story beyond reason, a yellow lab named Reagan made a discovery on an Iowa roadside that saved two precious lives.
Two kittens had been sealed into a bag of Meow Mix, left on a roadside and run over by traffic on a rural Iowa highway about three months ago, WHOTV.com reports.
It was Reagan the dog who dragged the bag home and whined until his owner opened it. Reagan’s owner discovered two kittens barely hanging onto life, while the rest of the litter hadn’t survived, prompting a call to the Raccoon Valley Animal Sanctuary.
“There was a litter of four or five of them and you couldn’t tell if there were two or three [in the bag]…they had been run over by a vehicle. It was not a pretty sight,” Linda Blakely of the animal shelter told WHOTV.com.
The Raccoon Valley Animal Sanctuary is now housing the two kittens — Skipper and Tipper — who weren’t originally expected to live through the ordeal. The two were bottled-fed every two hours and are now back to their normal lively selves, the news outlet reports.
Thanks to Reagan, both kittens are now up for adoption through the Raccoon Valley Animal Sanctuary.

Mish Whalen writes:
A lioness looks around helplessly after her cub fell down a ravine and couldn’t make it back up the cliff.
Other members of the pride attempt to rescue the cub but stop trying when they realize it is too steep.
Only the mother lion is willing to take the risk.
Just as the exhausted cub seems about to fall, his mother circles beneath him and he is snatched up in her jaws. She then begins the difficult journey back to the top.
These dramatic frames were taken by wildlife photographer Jean-Francois Largot at Kenya’s Masai Mara game reserve in August.
Safe and sound, the lioness gives the cub a big welcome-back lick.
Things not to say to a woman
Men are notorious for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. This is what we men say (and shouldn’t) the most:
1. Wait — I got distracted. What did you just say?
2. Why can’t you be more like [insert friend's name]‘s wife?
3. Hold on, I need a beer.
4. Are you about to start your period?
5. Can we do this after the game?
6. Oh, you’re really mad? I thought you were joking.
7. Does this mean we can’t have sex tonight?

This is what happens when you throw a live hair-dryer into a pool full of swimmers.
Not true. Actually it’s perfect timing for best pictures in sports. They just look funny, don’t they?

Navy SEAL Jon Tumilson lay in a coffin, draped in an American flag, in front of a tearful audience mourning his death in Afghanistan. Soon an old friend appeared, and like a fellow soldier on a battlefield, his loyal dog refused to leave him behind.
Tumilson’s Labrador retriever, Hawkeye, was photographed lying by Tumilson’s casket in a heart-wrenching image taken at the funeral service in Tumilson’s hometown of Rockford, Iowa, earlier this week. Hawkeye walked up to the casket at the beginning of the service and then dropped down with a heaving sigh as about 1,500 mourners witnessed a dog accompanying his master until the end, reported CBS.
