6. The driver who sacrificed his own car to save a man's life

The driver of a Tesla Model S, Manfred Kick, was headed down the A9 Autobahn near Garching, Germany, just north of Munich when he saw a car moving erratically. He moved alongside it and discovered the driver was limp, unconscious and unable to control the vehicle. Kick pulled his car in front of the out of control Volkswagen Passat and braked gently until the vehicles touched. He then slowed it to a stop and called emergency services. The driver of the Passat was taken to hospital, and was reported to be in stable condition.

7. The volunteers who rescued over a 100 dogs after a truck overturned with them inside

In January 2017, a truck carrying over 100 puppies veered off New York State's Interstate 86 near the Finger Lakes and into a ditch. Officers, volunteers and a local towing company acted quickly at the scene, while the Finger Lakes SPCA helped to triage and treat the pups—who (calm your tail-wagging) are all going to be fine.

8. The woman who found herself at the bottom of a sinkhole

The rains in California during winter 2017 have been no joke. A woman had to be rescued from a sinkhole which opened up during an unusually heavy rainfall in February in Studio City.

9. The athlete who saved a man hanging from a chair lift

A man who got tangled in an Arapahoe Basin chairlift and was hanging unconscious from his neck was cut down by a professional slackliner who climbed up a lift tower, slid approximately 30 feet across the lift's cable and cut him free with a knife tossed from ski patrollers. The Colorado resort says the man was trying to unload from the three-person lift when his backpack became entangled in the chair. He was then left dangling from the chair, and was swept around the bullwheel at the top of the lift and back down the mountain, at which point the operator shut down the ride.

10. A reporter who rescued a tiny bunny from traffic and the elements

Even the smallest creatures need a leg up now and a again—during storm coverage in February 2017, Jeff Ehling and photojournalist Mario Segura pulled over on Highway 290 in Dallas to film a live report as the rain moved in. While setting up, Jeff spotted a baby rabbit struggling in a huge puddle, unable to get over the curb. Traffic put the bunny in an even more precarious position, so Jeff snagged a towel and a box from the live truck and helped it to dry safety. The rabbit is doing well, and will be released back into the wild as soon as the rains let up.
