This is a heartwarming story! That boy is most definitely a hero, and the owner should never be allowed to own pets again! I posted a story a couple of weeks ago on the cat board about 4 little kittens who were dumped by the side of the road near my office and they were also rescued by some boys about the age of this boy in the story. It's so good to read positive things about young kids. It seems somehow only the bad deeds get reported sometimes.

We had a similar incident here in the Phila. area just the other day. A grandfather who was supposed to drop his 2 year old granddaughter off at the babysitter on his way to work forgot she was in his car. Unfortunately she spent 8 hrs. in the car and didn't make it.
