I cried when I watched this video and I cried again when I learned of the heartbreaking update to the story.
I have a deep respect for all the firefighters out there that risk their lives to save not only people, but the small furry critters that are members of our families, as well.
From: CBS47 – A sad update to the kitten rescue story CBS47 first aired on Tuesday; the S.P.C.A. says the kitten didn’t survive. The gripping rescue was caught on tape as a Fresno firefighter, wearing a helmet camera, found the kitten on the floor of a burned apartment. The S.P.C.A. it took the kitten after the fire, since the owners weren’t around. It was taken to an emergency vet, but sadly it didn’t survive the night.
: When that kitten mewed, I totally lost it. Waterworks!
He tried. That’s all that counts. I’m sure these firefighters get calloused probably as a method of survival. This guy had a heart.
