“We started working with Project Street Dog Thailand back in May,” Cindy Szczudlo, senior manager of rescue services at North Shore Animal League America, told The Dodo. “Beautiful little Gidget was one of our recent rescues who we brought in a couple weeks ago.”

Who knows what kind of life she had, but as a street dog, it likely wasn’t a very pleasant one.  However, she’s absolutely full of joy now, and loves meeting new people and animals. “She’s so affectionate, sweet and friendly,” Szczudlo said. “She loved playing with the cats in my office. She just has an amazing personality.” Beth Stern, who works with North Shore, is friends with NPH and Burtka, so when they mentioned to her that they were looking to adopt, she had just the pup in mind.

The guys and their six-year-old twins, Harper and Gideon, look like they’re already madly in love with this lil chica.

Though this has nothing to do with dogs, I came across a photo on Burtka’s Instagram page of his family on Halloween, and one of his followers said they had been looking forward to seeing this photo all month – the family must really go all out for Halloween.  So I did a couple of searches and found the rest of their costumes, and man are they adorable!  Hopefully next year Gidget will be included.  I can’t wait to see what they do!

She came face-to-face with a very premature baby.

They rushed the weak baby straight to the hospital, where she was hooked up to an incubator.

Pui is rightfully being celebrated as a hero in his town.

Red Cross officials awarded him a leather collar and a medal as a token of appreciation for his noble act. A local man also donated a sizable amount of money to cover the costs of food for the pooch that should leave him happy for quite a while.

As for the baby Pui saved?

Multiple families offered to adopt her, and officials are looking for the mother and whoever is responsible for the attempted murder.

It’s amazing that Pui knew there was a tiny person in trouble…even more incredibly, that he thought to bring her home. He selflessly saved a life — and in turn became a hero!

Over 120,000 stray canines are estimated to roam the city and surrounding villages, and the number just keeps growing. Whether they were born into their bleak lives or abandoned by families that were supposed to love them, the dogs are an overwhelming and constant presence.

You can see just how much the pups trust him by accepting his incredible act of kindness.

You can join him in assisting the strays still living in their desperate situation by learning more and sponsoring or adopting a dog over at Soi Dog.

They weren’t sure how it got in there, but they knew they had to get it out. Watch the tiny pooch’s incredible rescue below.

Workers helped the puppy out of its tight spot by coating it with soap to help it slide out. The pipe was carefully cut open using metal cutters.

The face of the grateful puppy!
