An operation to rescue a kitten lasted for 2 days in Gothenburg (Sweden). The frightened creature was trapped in a concrete tube (15 cm in diameter) under a store. Staff at the supermarket heard animal’s cries for help but could not reach it. Rescuers used advanced camera equipment to monitor the kitten’s life in the tube.

California teenager Matt Mina, who is 17 years old, was buried alive for 30 minutes when a six-foot tunnel that he was digging on Newport Beach collapsed on him. Rescue workers had to work feverishly to dig him out of the tunnel. He has since made a full recovery although at the time he thought he was going to die.

There are few things sadder than an abused dog, but thankfully there are people who have a heart. This rescued dog fully recovered after initially looking like she wouldn’t make it.

A Touching Story of One Dog (3 pics)

This is a story that will touch all animal lovers.

These animals look unhappy before rescue. But after rescue they don't differ from other pets. They are cute and cheerful.

This little Chinese boy is really lucky!

It is a real miracle that this unlucky dog has survived. The poor thing was shot in the head and buried alive. A police officer who was walking nearby accidentally heard someone whining from underneath. He called the emergency services that sent the rescued dog to a veterinary clinic. The dog underwent a surgery. As for his owner, he’ll have to go through a trial. A person who did this is a jerk, but not human.

Rescue operation.

This happened on the River Ribble in Lancashire, England. A Labrador and his owner were walking along the shore when the dog strayed on to thin ice close to the center of the river and fell into the water. Witnesses of this drama shouted to the Labrador’s owner not to go after her pet, but she did what she did. Laying on her front, she was crawling out on the ice trying to get closer to the dog when the ice broke under her weight. Now the woman had to fight for her life in the icy water. Luckily, her partner rushed up and rescued her with the help of the dog lead. And what happened to the Labrador? Go inside this post to find out.

This 10-day-old dolphin was injured by a fishing net and discovered near the Montevideo beach (Uruguay). There was no sign of the dolphin’s mother, so the mammal was lowered into a swimming pool at the NGO Rescate Fauna Marina centre. Local “resident”, the Magellan penguin, quickly became friends with a baby dolphin.

This baby elephant was attacked by a crocodile in South Africa. It didn’t take long once the cries from the baby elephant were heard for a whole herd of elephants to come to the rescue. The leader of the charge was probably the female matriarch of the herd.

33 miners were trapped at San Jose mine in Copiapo for more than two months. They were sealed 2,041-foot into the mine's lower reaches by a collapse of 700,000 tons of rock. Finally, these men were hoisted to the surface in a rescue capsule on October 12-13. The Chilean emergency workers and President Sebastian Pinera met them on the ground. Residents and pedestrians watched the rescue on a large screen in a public square and on TVs in electronics store. No one in recorded history has survived as long trapped underground as these 33 miners. For the first two weeks, no one even knew whether they were alive.

People believe that dogs are smart. But this one was stupid enough to get into a difficult situation.

Shirva locals had an unusual adventure this month. Everything started with the Sapaliga family searching for their pet dog. They found it in the open well. The dog was chased by a hungry leopard who went hunting near Shirva. Both animals accidentally fell into the well, but were rescued by locals and forest personnel who used cages to catch exhausted “adventurers”. The dog has been returned to its master. As for the leopard, it was transported to the National Reserve Forest at Kudremukh.

Robert Kiraly heard a loud noise in his courtyard at night. When he got outside, he found a 200 pound black bear with his head stuck in a milk barrel. It turned out the bear decided to find something to eat and squeezed his head in a milk can that was on the porch. When he felt that his head got stuck, he started yelling wildly trying to escape.

Some animals endanger their lives and health just because of being too curious. That's when only people come to help.

This is a true story. It happened some time ago. 

In one small English town, a crowd of people had gathered under a tree.

They thought about how to save the iguana, which they clearly saw on one of the branches.

It was decided to call emergency services. Rescuers arrived, climbed the tree and ... started to laugh.

You’ll see why after the jump.
