"A rottweiler and her puppies left behind after their owner's vehicle broke down while evacuating from the Park Fire in Butte County on Wednesday were rescued days later by a Butte County Search and Rescue member.

In a Facebook post, the sheriff's office said a resident's truck became disabled in a remote area above Cohasset, near Campbellville, as people were evacuating the fire that has now burned 357,000 acres in Butte and Tehama counties"

"Trevor Skaggs, the search and rescue member, flew into the area in a helicopter on Saturday and ran more than a mile to the location of the truck, finding the mother and her puppies alive.

However, the father did not survive.

Skaggs gave the dogs water and bites from a protein bar that he brought with him. The dogs followed him back to the helicopter, where he put the dogs onboard and flew them to the Chico airport."

The way that community has stepped up to help, rescue, transport, house and feed pets and livestock, selflessly and generously, gives me hope.

[the cat did it]

I love these kind of "stories", it's a nice reminder that there is actually some real good in the world and good people. It's such a nice break from the cruel depravity all too often seen, heard and read about. How awful all these people and animals-so many beloved pets are all affected by this. So much loss, physically and emotionally so every save is a celebration I say!

The picture with the fire and what looks to be a fox in the middle of it is gut wrenching, poor thing. The kitty the guy is holding looks just like the cat that is currently curled up next me, my Scrappy.

With that many goats, not long, they can eat a whole lot more than you think they can, and they eat everything!
