RE: SBD Giveaway! Random Acts of Kindness Contest
I've read the rules, i don't apply.
Still, my random act of kindness(one of:) ),
On one of my cycling tours a woman was calling for help along the river. Seemed the dog, just a pup trainée of a blind girl, the other woman was the mother, was drowning in a sewage/sluissystem next to the river. she had called the firedepartment, but it was critical. So i enter the pipesystem, climbed down the installation onto the riverlevel, picked up the, indeed drowning dog. Climbed up, reached the dog up with one arm, standing on slippery pillars, with the sluissystem about to open any time.
Then balanced my way back up on the 15cm wide construction. Refused all money the woman offered, cause my shoes were wrecked and cycled off. And left a happy blind girl with her new pup.
You are a true hero in my book, nin0000!!
Thx Dottie!
All lives are precious. Thank you for the story.
Indeed,
true story btw and not your average river, but Scheldt river, containerships and all sorth travel there.
Still happy about it!
Doing what makes you happy is the only way to live. Sounds like a terrible river. I grew up next to one similar: when it rained you could watch the dead animal carcasses float by. Terrible. That dog and little girl (not to mention her mother!) will remember you forever. Well done!
Yep,
Some things i remember,
stopped a few people who were passing without looking and probably got hit by a car.
Walked into a rape when i was little in the park, the girl ran away. Saved a woman at night being harrased with torn of clothes, as a result i got a knife threat, but all ended well.
And my first cat, i saved out of a bag, thrown into a puddle.
Cheers!
You are an inspiration! Keep up the good work!
