Tickets to an NFL game are, to be kind, fairly pricey. That's why once you've paid for them, you'll want to keep them in a safe place until you need to produce them for entry into the stadium. The guy in the video below knows that...now...

Dr. Mark Garrison is an Illinois native, and the author of the book "Guts 'N Gunships, What it was Really Like to Fly Combat Helicopters in Vietnam." From the book's synopsis: In the summer of 1967, Mark Garrison had dropped out of college at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, Illinois, just before entering his third year...

As you know, we love dog stories. Hero dogs, rescue dogs, goofy dogs, we love them all. Which is probably why we were drawn to 12 week old Scooter, a Llahsa-Poodle mix, who was born without front legs, but that problem doesn't seem to be slowing him down at all...

I know, it's been a few weeks since we've featured a hero dog in this space. Well, consider the dog-heroics drought to be over. Although, to be fair, the human companion of this dog really did the lion's share of the work here. The dog gets credit for the discovery, the human can take some credit for saving a baby dolphin's life...

Another day, another reason to love and admire firefighters. This time, however, there weren't any flames to deal with, just extreme heat, a cliff, and a terrified Vizsla named Rue. Rue escaped his Salt Lake City backyard after being frightened by fireworks, and found himself injured, dehydrated, and alone on a cliff far from home...

Maybe our focus on "hero dog" stories is too narrow. It would appear we need to expand our focus to include "hero elephants," especially after seeing the video below. To set the scene, at Kruger National Park in South Africa, a baby elephant, walking down a road, appears to become weakened and disoriented...

A Polish horse farmer recently opened up his barn to discover that one of his horses had escaped from her fencing, wandered into his barn, and had fallen through a hole in the barn floor that had been used to work on cars from underneath. The problem was that the horse's body fit perfectly into the hole, leaving little or no room for her to maneuver, and offering no possibility of escape... Read M

This was a test. And, the dog being tested passed with flying colors. On the Riley & Scot Show, we love the hero dogs (and cats, and ferrets, and...), and we believe that this as-of-yet unidentified dog certainly fits the bill. From Empty Lighthouse: In a short but touching video found on the front page of Reddit's Video Subreddit a dog sits quietly while keeping an eye on his owner who is swi

Like most people, I love koalas. Unlike most, however, I have good reason to dislike them: while visiting Australia a number of years ago, a koala peed on me. We were visiting a nature park outside Brisbane that offered the chance to get up close and personal with the animals...
