Three kittens, trapped in a storm drain could have drowned if they hadn't had a savior who came in the form of another animal.

Kindness is not only limited to humans; it's extended to animals too, and this dog proved it. Dogs are mainly known for their empathy and loyalty towards others.

Harvey, who is a longtimer at an animal shelter called Faithful Friends Animal Society, is being acknowledged for saving three young cats trapped in a storm drain in Wilmington, Delaware. Sometime in January during a dog walk, Harvey started moving faster than his handler who got curious when he started barking at a storm drain while pulling on his leash.

The dog controller indulged him, and it turns out; the dog had discovered three baby cats caught at the bottom of the sewer.The cat department at the animal shelter came to the rescue of the kittens, which took them two full weeks.
