Foster parents have a very special task in life. That task is to be a temporary owner of a dog, give him or her love and care, and then give that dog away to their forever home. When Nicki Clawson fostered a dog for the Northwest Boxer Rescue, she fell in love. The dog, Cookie, eventually had to go to her forever home.

Nicki took the dog and with tears in her eyes, she waited patiently at the meetup spot for the forever family to arrive. It is always a bittersweet time when the fosters go to their new home. Little did she realize, she was being set up by the rescue group.

She was given a folder containing the phone number of the adoptive family. As she sat by the sidewalk with Cookie by her side, ready to call, she was overwhelmed with emotion.
Tears began to fall and Nicki realized what was happening. The rescue group gave the dog to Nicki because she loved her so very much.

Zoo Staff Refuse To Save Drowning Chimp, Suddenly Man Jumps Into Enclosure
One day, like any other day, the Detroit Zoo chimpanzee exhibit was surrounded with spectators on all sides, when suddenly, a playful chase between two chimps took an accidental turn, and one of the chimps slipped into the muddy moat surrounding the exhibit.
Unlike humans, chimps’ bodies are not designed to have the natural buoyancy in water. So the poor chimp started drowning very soon. None of the zoo staff dared to go near him, as they feared the aggressive tendencies of the territorial chimps in the colony.
By now, the crowd started cheering Rick. They guided him through the water as they helped him reach the chimp. As he brought the chimp back to safety, the chimp family was only grateful, and let him return unharmed. Rick’s brave and selfless act of kindness has indeed won our hearts today!
Click the video below to watch Rick put his life on line to save the helpless chimp!
