Inspirational Friday

A true divine had the hand in saving a mother and her children. A mother and her two daughters were left dangling in their BMW when a big wheeler hit them from behind. The big rig and driver plunged over the bridge and the truck burst into flames killing the driver. The BMW dangled over a 100ft. drop on highway 101 in Santa Barbara, California. Inside the BMW were Kelli Groves and her two daughters and one of them was an infant and the other  a 10-year-old. Firefighters came to their rescue, but needed a forklift to hold the BMW in place so they could execrate them from the car. The nearest forklift was at least an hour away, but before the call was disconnected a group of Navy Seabees were in the traffic and they coincidentally had a forklift.
The family was removed from the car safely and flown to the hospital and the baby only had minor injuries and was released to her father. The mother and her 10-year-old are recuperating in the hospital.

White tiger cubs are raised by a German Shepherd. After the white tiger cubs were born their mother abandoned them. China's Xinjiang chief wild life park brought in a foster parent who was a German Shepherd. The cubs took to their new mom and the German Shepherd took to them. These white tigers are very rare and have been hunted for their fur. They are descendants of the Bengal Tiger.
