Yeah, we googled em. Pretty legit. We're as surprised as you. It kind of makes sense, if you consider how long people have been around, and all the things we've done, that someone would've thought to enlist a bear in the military or that multiple people would have died in a literal whiskey flood. History is crazy.

Just pretend your lunch is a cute puppy. Protecting a cute puppy will bring out the courage in all of us.

This reporter is better than me, I don't know if that kind of stupidity is worth saving.

"We were caught in a flash flood in one of Utah's most famous slot canyons. We checked the weather the day prior and there was no chance of rain..we were out of cell phone/internet coverage. This is proof of how fast things can get ugly! We had hiked Little Wild Horse Canyon in the San Rafael Swell before always being cautious, the forecast had changed to %20 chance..this was a fairly light rain, hard to believe the results! We had hiked up further, this video is us running back to find the girls we left behind. We found them in an opening waiting out the storm. The lower slots are actually much narrower than these, luckily my wife knew to backtrack to this opening as soon as she saw the water coming. Not sure of the results had we not found them..always get to higher ground and wait it out, you won't outrun it..fun as it was to pretend for a while:)"

The headline speaks for itself. All we know is Fashion Valley did not hold up to its infamous standards for this poor guy. CBS 8 captured gold.

It's raining cats and dogs and they need some help.
Even though Hurricane Joaquin will move off into the Atlantic and not make landfall on the eastern seaboard, it still brought devastating weather to some parts of America.
South Carolina has had over two feet of rain in the past few days and it's caused a great deal of grief across the state.
Some of the most innocent victims of the storm has been the dogs and cats that have found themselves out in the storm, lost without their owners.
Well, the https://www.facebook.com/scpetsSouth Carolina Pets Facebook page has dedicated itself to providing a place where owners could report lost animals and those who found strays could connect with the owners.
As they say in the description:
This page was created to give people a broader audience to post lost & found notices rather just on random stop signs and utility poles in the community. We have often felt the concern of taking a found pet to a local shelter and then wondering if we could have done more to reunite them with their families. We wanted to bridge the gap between families who have missing pets and the benevolent individuals who go out of their way to try and rescue them.
They've already had some success stories!
Hopefully, everyone is staying safe out there.
A dramatic rescue in Sachse, Texas quickly took a turn for the funny on Friday, when a local cop was brought on a lengthy joyride over a farm.
In the video above from FOX 4 news, the unnamed officer is airlifted by a Department of Public Safety helicopter after his car gets stuck in the rising flood waters.
The news anchors covering the event watch as he attaches himself to the harness and soars off to safety.
But once they’ve reached dry land, they don’t let him down very quickly. Instead he is taken on a 4-minute long flight across some cow-filled pastures while the world watches and the anchors laugh.
“Where are they taking him?” asks one of them, to which the other replies “It’s kind of an odd sight, isn’t it?”
They joke that maybe the extended trip was punishment for ruining a perfectly good police car.
He was eventually lowered to the ground, and will likely rise up to viral video stardom.
“He’s happy to be out and safe,” another cop named Lt. Marty Cassidy told WFAA news. “He knows he’s not going to live this down.”
