New Canadian National Hero: Firefighter Who Saved Kittens From House Fire
by Shifra on August 18, 2016Because all lives matter…including kittens! Via The Loop. Canada has a new national hero, and Canadians are kind of freaking out. On Saturday, a house in Langley, B.C. caught fire with a number of pets inside, including three kittens. Over three hours, firefighters put out the blaze and were able to save most of the many pets. The kittens are of particular interest because of the man who saved them…. He’s just adorable and it doesn’t hurt that he’s holding and nursing a gaggle of kittens. So basically, all of Canada is collectively swooning over this guy. Keep up the good work, Shirtless Firefighter, you’re the hero Canada needs and we thank you for your service. ****************************************************
