Dog was missing for more than a week. Then his whimpering was heard from a drainpipe

A dog named Jack got stuck in an underground pipe in southwest Missouri and was there for days – as many as eight – before he was rescued by firefighters.

Jack’s owners told the local fire department that the dog had disappeared more than a week ago – until when one of them heard whimpering while checking the mail.

The firefighters said they found Jack in the middle of the 15-foot pipe under the owners’ gravel driveway.

It’s unclear how he ended up there. We’re happy he’s ok, but this rescue was pretty close to a miracle considering this beautiful Lab was 12 years old. Full Story…

Boy recovers from brain injuries after parents sign organ donation papers

According to the USA Today, Trenton McKinley, 13, almost died when he suffered several skull fractures after he was involved in an accident involving a utility vehicle.

At one point, Trenton had no brain activity and his kidneys began to fail.

But it’s his unlikely recovery that has everyone talking.

The man then jumped from the railing to a different part of the bridge.

In fact, Trenton’s prognosis was so bad his parents had already signed the papers to donate his organs to children in need of transplants.

However, the day before he was to be pulled from life support, Trenton began to show signs of awareness.

Trenton’s family says it was divine intervention that brought the boy back to life. “It’s a miracle,” Jennifer Nicole Reindl, Trenton’s mother, told the USA Today.

Trenton even said that he went to Heaven before regaining consciousness.

“I was in an open field walking straight,” Trenton stated. Full Story…

Kevin Smith: Doctor Says Weed Saved My Life

The director spoke about his recent health incident on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.”
After suffering a major heart attack in February, Kevin Smith wondered if it was caused by smoking too much pot, but his doctor assured him the case was quite the opposite: all that weed surely saved his life.

“He goes, ‘You kept calm. They told you you were having a massive heart attack. I just told you now. They told you were going through stuff and you remained calm the whole time, so that joint saved your life,’” Smith recalled. “I was like, ‘I’m putting that on a T-shirt.’” Full Story…
