20. These pictures of a man jumping into rough waters to rescue a stranger’s Shih Tzu in Melbourne.
Sue Drummond was walking her beloved Shih Tzu, Bibi, on a pier in Melbourne, when a fierce gust of wind picked him up and hurled him into the rough waters of the bay. A passerby, Raden Soemawinata, who happened to be on the pier that day to scatter his grandmother’s ashes, wasted no time in stripping down and diving into the bay to rescue the animal.

Posted by carole bellmore | July 1, 2012, 4:49 amI have found most people I deal with are great people. These pictures are a great example how we are supposed to be and how Jesus would be and we are to follow his example. Put others before ourselves which is true love.
