While many of us love watching heartwarming “animal rescue” stories, actually saving an animal may not be as easy as it looks. With so many unfortunate animals out there, we may ask ourselves, “What would I do if I saw a creature in distress?”

This is an inspiring story about a kind boy named Ken Amante, from the Philippines, who was not scared or disgusted by the sight of mangy-looking stray dogs. Instead, he saw an opportunity to help those unfortunate animals. As he began to help them more often, Ken’s parents became curious about where their little child was going every day.
