My ex drove a hundred miles an hour for 5 miles chasing down a guy in a pick-up who kidnapped a woman off the street and after the pick-up drove into a snow bank, told him to let her out of the truck. The police were then flagged down. Sounds like a bit tale huh? Nope, I was a passenger in the car and I was egging him on to catch him. We could see the driver hitting the woman as she tried to jump out and when he later walked back to his truck to let her out, I was scared half to death he was going to come back with a shotgun and blow us both away. But he let her out. The police found another woman's purse and I.D. in his truck but he was still released two days later. That was 33 years ago. He has probably left a trail of dead people by now. It was the bravest thing I ever saw my (then) husband do.
My husband and I were driving home last week and he saw a bird in the middle of the road. He immediately pulled over and ran over to it. I threw him his sweatshirt and he scooped it up. Once we got it home he realised it was a pigeon with an injured leg. The poor bird was wet and smelled horrible. Hubby researched pigeons, went out and got food, feed the bird, cleaned him up then nursed him back to health for a week, caring for the wound on its leg.
He let him fly off a couple of days ago. He cried.
I love my tender hearted husband so much.
That is so awesome!
I always appreciate people who just cannot turn their back on an animal in need

Yesterday my husband was putting gas in his car when he noticed a woman on the other side of the island frantically searching the interior of her car.
She had already pumped her gas but apparently couldn't find her wallet and was visibly upset. He went into the store to pay for his own gas and asked the clerk to add her gas to his bill. Then he just quietly left
Such amazing and very inspiring stories, LovesMountains and Djuna! Thx for sharing!
When I offered a very recently homeless man in our community our downstairs bedroom without asking him, he supported me. My husband is a freaking saint for putting up with me.

Ha, this must be one trusting state!
I always use credit cards, but I don't believe you can pump anything here before showing some sort of payment beforehand...

Thanks but if you want the truth....brave my a**! My husband, yes, but I was absolutely freaking out in the car. I think I'd have lost it if he hadn't drove into a snow bank because I know we wouldn't have caught up to him.

He sounds like a very supportive guy, good for you
I personally believe that if each one of us just did what we could when we come across situations of need, then the whole world would be a better place to live.
