Watch a miracle unfold as a farmer revives an ailing chick
When Chrissy Chin found a recently hatched chick cold and unresponsive in a brooder in Langley, British Columbia, Canada, the amateur farmer tapped into her experience of raising other animals, bringing in a hair dryer to blow hot air onto the chick to raise its core temperature as soon as possible.
For 20 minutes, Chinn worked tirelessly to revive the chick. And slowly, a miracle began to unfold as the chick came back to life.

There is no bond like the one between siblings and this doggie duo is proof. Levi and Maisy are not only siblings, but also best friends. Unfortunately, Levi, can't hear when his owners get home, so Maisy steps in to alert him every time their family comes home by nudging him so that he doesn't miss out on the excitement.
The rise and shine routine has become a ritual in their house, according to the dogs' owner, Sierra Justus, and it never gets old.
Watch: Doctor's kindness helps pilot shelter dogs to safety
Dr. Brian Rambarran, a urologist based in Buffalo, New York is a licensed pilot, who helps keep dogs from being killed, working with animal shelters in New York and North Carolina to airlift dogs from animal shelters to foster homes. Pilots n Paws, a non-profit, helps link pilots to different rescues and shelters that help move animals around from high kill shelters.
"It was kind of natural thing. I became a pilot about 12 years ago, and I did it for many reasons," Rambarran told USA TODAY. "Part of it was to use my skills to help other people and animals; I fly for a couple different organizations and we fly sick children around. I also decided to fly for Pilots n Paws. I decided to do it because it was a way for me to do two things that I enjoyed: one which was flying and two, volunteering and helping others, and hopefully benefit society in a positive way."
In the last 12 years, Rambarran has rescued hundreds of dogs in his 5-seat Cirrus SR 22, which he flies every four to six weeks, picking up dogs from high kill shelters and dropping them off to foster and adoption homes.
Rambarran said his excursions bring him a lot of fulfilment "knowing that the dogs are going to a safe home," and are getting a second chance at life.
"They're going from a place where they could be euthanized at any time to a loving home, and getting a chance at a having a happy, fulfilling life and just knowing that alone brings me and my family happiness," Rambarran said.
