To celebrate World Kindness Week, we’ve gathered three touching tales that highlight the beautiful connections between people and animals.

From a farmer using a hair dryer to warm a chilly chick to a doctor rescuing dogs from deadly shelters across the United States, these stories are sure to warm your heart.

Witness a farmer’s miraculous revival of a chick

In Langley, British Columbia, Canada, Chrissy Chin discovered a newborn chick that was cold and lifeless in a brooder. Relying on her farming knowledge, she grabbed a hair dryer to warm the chick and elevate its body temperature as quickly as possible.

For 20 minutes, Chin diligently worked to bring the chick back to life, and slowly but surely, a miraculous recovery began to take shape.

Watch: A dog plays alarm clock for her deaf sibling

The bond between siblings is unique, and Levi and Maisy are a perfect example. Not only are they siblings; they are also the best of friends. Since Levi cannot hear when their family returns home, Maisy takes it upon herself to wake him up by nudging him, ensuring he doesn’t miss the joyful moments.

This morning routine has become a cherished ritual in their household, according to their owner, Sierra Justus, and it remains as delightful as ever.

Watch: A doctor’s compassion helps shelter dogs find safety

Dr. Brian Rambarran, a urologist from Buffalo, New York, is also a licensed pilot dedicated to rescuing dogs from high-kill shelters. He collaborates with shelters in New York and North Carolina to airlift dogs to foster homes. The non-profit Pilots n Paws connects pilots with rescues and shelters to facilitate the relocation of animals from high-risk environments.

“It felt like a natural fit. I became a pilot about 12 years ago for various reasons,” Rambarran shared with YSL News. “One was to use my skills to assist others and animals; I also transport sick children. I chose to join Pilots n Paws as it allows me to combine my passion for flying with volunteer work, helping to positively impact society.”

Over the past 12 years, Rambarran has rescued countless dogs using his 5-seat Cirrus SR 22, flying every four to six weeks to transport dogs from high-kill shelters to foster and adoption sites.

He expressed great fulfillment from these missions, knowing that the dogs are heading to safe homes and getting a new lease on life.

“They are leaving a situation where they could be euthanized at any moment for a loving home that offers them a chance at a joyful life. That knowledge brings happiness to my family and me,” Rambarran remarked.
