Top 10 Cases of Animals Saving Humans
Davide Ceci was 14 years old and couldn’t swim when he fell out of his Fathers boat in south-east Italy; he was within minutes of death when dolphin Filippo came to his rescue. Filippo had been a popular tourist attraction off Manfredonia in south-east Italy for two years. While Emanuele Ceci was still unaware his son had fallen into the waves, Filippo was pushing him up out of the water to safety. The dolphin bore down on the boat and got close enough for Davide’s father to grab him.

Brenda Owen had gone out for a quick walk with her dog when she spotted a wheelchair on the riverbank; she saw a woman floating in the river. She called out to her but there was no reply so she told her dog, Penny, to “Fetch! Fetch!” without hesitation the dog ran into the river, swam to the woman and pulled her to the shore. Brenda said that Penny has always been a very obedient dog and despite being 10 years old she was still very fit.
Hush your mouth!

Well, I'm going to have to trap him and get him neutered and vaccinated. But I am worried that he needs a bit of cool shelter and would feel safer with him hunkered in the carport on rainy days or when it's cold. I can at least give the kitty a blanket.
Allyson, keep moving some food closer to the carport, and make a little nest in there. He'll be smart enough to take advantage on a rainy or super hot day when you're not there.
My inbox is huge and accessed primarily via search, but I feel I make up for that by throwing away (recycling) most every piece of paper that comes across my desk.
Before Google, people would call up libraries and ask things like, "What's the phone number and address of the Catholic Church in Rochester, MN?" and the librarians would find out for them. Nobody ever does that anymore.
I don't know why I'm being an idiot. He's obviously savvy enough to survive on his own. DO NOT GET ATTACHED TO THE WILD KITTY, ALLYSON.

Right. And Newspapers were a resource too. I remember writing something about the movie
Coming Home
for my school news magazine, and I didn't know the name of the director. My teacher-adviser told me to just call the Miami Herald arts section editor and get the info. Which I did. And he told me, "Hal Ashby" as if he answered calls like that all the time.
He's obviously savvy enough to survive on his own.
I was gonna say, I expect a cat is better at finding a bit of shade than you are.
I just cleaned out my work Inbox and various sent folders and such. I blame you all.
