It took years of waiting, DNA testing and a genealogist to link the remains to a missing person case from 2000.

Several people a week were knocking on their door to tell them about their crazy dog, so they decided to put up a sign explaining his antics.

The 94-year-old who had spent nearly six decades as a local fixture promised them they hadn't seen the last of her yet.

The off-duty cop knew something was wrong when he saw smoke and saw his neighbor run out of her home with only one of her three children.

First the firefighters tried to lure out the tortoise with some delicious watermelon, but the 100-pound tortoise wasn't cooperating.

'The electricity from the lightning actually went through him and caused him to black out and go to the floor.'

The elderly dog was saved from a horrible hoarding situation and was given just weeks to live - but he's still going strong.

What started out as a total accident ended up as a beautiful gesture of kindness, thanks to the generosity of a complete stranger.

The police searched desperately for the little boy, calling his name and trying to find him in the smoke-filled room.

The driver seemed unbothered by the situation, and moved with no sense of urgency as the good Samaritan watched the flames grow.
