 Scamp saved the life of six kittens

Scamp saved the life of six kittens

Awesome story! Scamp saved six kittens stuck inside a box on a mountain of trash. Scamp heard them, tore the box apart and brought them one by one where he now happily lives. Scamp is a former homeless dog, and had only one thought: saving them as himself was saved once.

Owner Renata Kursa, of Lublin, Poland, was heartbroken when Bak was left blind after an accident.
‘But gradually Buttons got him up on his feet and starting walking him around. They’re inseparable now – they even chase the postman together.’
