A child leaves a puppy he found in front of a shop October 3, 2018 / Caldas Novas, Goias, Brazil We found a puppy and went to see how he had arrived. The kid found him after school and, knowing that we have a public food and water bowl for stray animals, left him at our door. We support our local rescue group, Animal Relief Caldas Novas, and called them to take care of the puppy, who have already found a family that adopted him.
Kilauea lava flows in Hawaii A pink rainbow, amazing land spouts and a veritable plethora of lava flows made for a spectacular lava overflight this morning. We have often seen water spouts at the ocean entry... but this morning, due to a head downpour on the 61G flow and the right wind and heat conditions, several vortices (aka: land spouts) appeared just above the Pali. These dramatic, unusual formations look like mini tornadoes, but spin much less quickly. Easter Ducky flew solo while Leilani prepared for Merrie Monarchs... he joined Special Return Guest, Bryan Pezman, Bruce Omori and me as Paradise Helicopters' superb fly boy, Sean Regehr navigated the sky above Pele's manifestations... mahalo captured, Sean!
Rescue a dog in a frozen lake Harlem-Roscoe firefighters were dispatched to a call on the Legends Lake in Roscoe for a man on the ice trying to rescue his dog that had fallen through thin ice into the lake on Dec. 11, 2017. It seems the dog's owner found his dog in the water and tried using a kayak on the ice to get to him. About half way out he broke through the ice himself and was now in the water. First in units arrived on scene and Lt. Justin Mayton donned a cold water suit and firefighters secured him to a safety rope. He then headed out onto the ice with a second Kayak that was on scene. He reached the owner of the dog and the dog's owner was able to climb into the kayak. Mayton was then able to reach the dog and he and the dog were pulled back to the shore by the firefighters on the shore. A rope was also then thrown to the owner in the Kayak and he was pulled safely to the shore. The dog and the owner were warmed up in the ambulance and taken home.
