Good Deeds

A Philadelphia firefighter pulled a Superman-worthy stunt when he risked his own life rescuing a woman from a burning building, but his heroics extended far beyond that moment.

Proving that sometimes man is dog's best friend, a firefighter risked life and limb to rescue a lost pooch that had been trapped in a deep quarry on Tuesday.

Taking a page from Ryan Gosling's book, Jennifer Lawrence is now also playing the part of Good Samaritan. It's been reported that a woman collapsed outside the 'Hunger Games' star's home. As if being an Oscar-nominee isn't enough she's got to be a good person as well? Wow, now we love her even more!

Everyone knows that homelessness and poverty are an extreme problem. However, it's hard to realize that when some overpaid politician is talking about it in a $1,000 suit that they probably didn't have to pay for out of their own pocket. One man in San Francisco hopes to change that with a camera and an internet connection.

The elderly may seem like easy targets to thieves, but as this story shows, that isn't always the case. On Monday, an unidentified 90-year-old California woman teamed up with a good Samaritan to chase down a mugger who robbed her outside a convenience store. Is this the beginning of a new crime fighting duo?

Deb Thompson got much more than she bargained after discovering a pricey diamond ring in the pocket of thrift store jeans on Monday. However, the Minnesota woman did the right thing by immediately trying to find the ring's true owner. Would you have done the same?

Like most tourists in Florida, Gus Hertz was probably just hoping for some relaxing time in the sun. Instead, the Virginia man became a hero after rescuing three people in two separate incidents over a two day period. Well, that puts us to shame. The most we ever managed on vacation is a mean case of sunburn.

In southern China, a man is being hailed as a hero for risking his own life to save a four-year-old girl dangling from a balcony four stories up. The man actually clung to the side of a building and supported the child for almost 10 minutes before rescuers arrived. He's a real-life Spider-Man!

Okay, confession time: if we witnessed a robbery first-hand, we'd probably cower in fear like a baby. But a man in Florida recently showed what he's made of by kicking a knife out of a crook's hand during the attempted robbery of a convenience store. Is this guy some sort of superhero or what?

West Liberty Salem high school runner Meghan Vogel wasn't going to win the Ohio D-III 3,200-meter state finals, which was held last weekend. In fact, the junior, who had already won the 1,600 meter, was in last place with about 20 feet to go. That's when she noticed that one of her competitors, sophomore Arden McMath, had collapsed and fallen in front of her. Rules state that anyone who aids anoth

Last Tuesday, a mortally wounded bus driver in China saved the lives of 24 passengers by stopping the bus before he fell unconscious. Although he died three days later due to his injuries, Chinese officials are lauding the man as a hero for his selfless act.

Brendan Haas came up with a pretty cool way to give back to military families. Inspired by the famous story of the guy who through a long chain of Craigslist trades was able to turn a paperclip into a house, a nine-year old launched what he called the "Soldier for a Soldier" initiative. Starting with a toy soldier, Haas kept trading up until he amassed $900 worth of Disney gift certifica

We’ve all done it. We buy a small bag of groceries at the store to donate to a food bank. We bring toys for the tots. We buy some gloves and a scarf to put on a tree for a needy child. But few of us have done what Rankin Paynter did for his Clark County community.

When fire engulfed 12-year-old Justin Jackon's Milton, FL, home on Sunday at 2AM, his mother was at work and his father was out of state. So if anyone was going to save his four younger siblings, it was going to have to be him.
