Ruby the Dog Finds Her Man

(Tuck this one away in the "Is this a great country of what?" mental file.)

It's no secret that Americans are unabashed animal lovers. The U.S. has millions of dedicated pet owners, as well as countless volunteers that raise money for shelters. Even in a tough economy, there are decent citizens who spontaneously rescue needy critters.

Like this fella - Gary DeNicola. He gallantly helped out a helpless doggie, and then received a shock.

But Gary continues doing the good deed, although it's became a more daunting endeavor than he envisioned. Awww. His neighbors are pretty neighborly, too.
