In Ventura County, Calif., with the Thomas Fire raging just feet away, a man pulled over to rescue a frightened wild rabbit. Remarkably, he succeeded. Wish I could give him a hug.

In Ventura County, Calif., with the Thomas Fire raging just feet away, a man pulled over to rescue a frightened wild rabbit. Remarkably, he succeeded. Wish I could give him a hug.
I’ve just seen this on our evening news and it was the only bit of feel good news
It’s been widely circulated, but I wanted to make sure my readers didn’t miss it. It’s such a feel-good story.
He was hopping just as much as the rabbit, which I would too with the flames being on feet away.
He was obviously frantic about that poor rabbit. I’m just amazed he was able to catch it.
I saw this too and made me see there are good kind people out there. I wish the news would tell more stories about these kind of things and helping people too and maybe there wouldn’t be so much hate in the world
Occasionally some good stories like this get aired. Not enough, but a few. And I think they deserve to be retold. We desperately need some good news.
Wow. Just wow!
I wouldn’t have bet a plugged nickel on his being able to catch that rabbit. But I’m absolutely delighted that he did.
NIcest piece of news in weeks. What a good heart.
We need more people like him.
I saw the footage, but here they never said what the animal was. Makes you believe there is some good still around.
How could they leave out the animal ID, unless they assumed you could see that for yourself? Man, rabbit, fire. That was the entire story.
I thought maybe it was a cat or dog.
News is getting less and less informative – guess they were just checking off the box for “animal story”
(Did the bunny go to wildlife rescue? We did get the cliff notes version of the story…)
The rescuer, Caleb Wadnan, took the rabbit to the California Wildfire Center, where it is being treated for burns. Originally another man claimed to be the rescuer, but that was disproven.
Thanks for the complete story!
I’d have included it in this post, but the truth wasn’t clear for several days.
to save even one living thing in that horrid fire was beautiful
Stopping to save a small creature when he didn’t have to says a lot about this young man’s character and heart.
