This man was dead weight, hanging high above the ground after touching a high-voltage line. His coworker climbed up, held him in place, gave him mouth-to-mouth. Randall Champion survived—and lived another 35 years. Rocco Morabito’s photo, “The Kiss of Life,” won the Pulitzer Prize. True heroism.

“Our old horse is blind. He walked into the creek and couldn't find his way back out... He kept turning toward the deep water. His donkey waded in, leaned up against him and walked him to the bank one step at a time. They've been best friends for eleven years.”
