Dog Rescues Kittens On Roadside
When animals make the news in this type of story, often times it’s not for the reason you had hoped. You’ve heard it before, the tales of dogs and cats being killed by their ruthless owners.
Thankfully for us, this is not that type of story.
This is a heroic story of a yellow lab named Reagan who discovered a batch of kittens left to die on an Iowa roadside, and did everything in his power to save them.

A litter of four or five kittens had been sealed into a bag of Meow Mix and left on a roadside in rural Iowa to be run over by highway traffic.
The courageous dog Reagan dragged the bag all the way home, whining until his owner opened it. The dog’s owner found two kittens barely clinging to life, while the rest of the litter hadn’t survived.
The Raccoon Valley Animal Sanctuary was called, prompting a quick response to try and save the two kittens that had been badly injured after being run over.
“They had been run over by a vehicle. It was not a pretty sight,” Linda Blakely of the animal shelter told WHOTV.com.
Good news for Reagan, though, as the animal shelter literally nursed the two kittens – Skipper and Tipper – back to health. The two little guys were bottle-fed every two hours until they got back to full health.
Looking at Skipper and Tipper today, you can’t even tell that they had been involved with such an ordeal. See what they look like in the video below, which also shows the heroic dog Reagan who saved them.
