Firefighters in Atlanta don't just put out burning buildings or pull cats out of trees.

They also save ducklings!!

Apparently, a mother duck was going crazy after her ducklings fell down a storm drain, and a PETA member called the fire department.

The firemen sprung into action, arriving at the scene, removing the grate, climbing down and rescuing all 8 baby ducks!

Teak the German shepherd from Vancouver is being honored as a true canine hero!

He was a member of the Vancouver Police Department and sustained a life threatening injury protecting his partner in the line of duty.

Teak's partner, Constable Derrick Gibson, was chasing an armed robbery suspect.

When they caught up to him, the man pulled out a knife and Teak leapt into action, trying to subdue the suspect while receiving several knife slashes.

Taraji P. Henson is awesome!

Not only does she love animals very much, but she's willing to use her Oscar nominated self as a voice box to spread love messages for animals!

Now that's someone using their high celebrity profile for the greater good!

She especially wants to help animals who are locked up outside and freezing! She asks for all dog owners to keep their pooch inside where they can stay warm and toasty!

We think that's a wonderful idea, don't you?

Ch-ch-check her out in by clicking PLAY (above) !!!

Oscar nominated actress and singer Taraji P. Henson is not only a multitalented lady…

She's also a fighter for animal rights!!

She teamed up with PETA for a seksi photo shoot with a cute pooch in the ad (above).

The ad reads:

"Chained dogs suffer day in and day out. They are cold, hungry, thirsty, vulnerable, and lonely. Keep them inside, where it's safe and warm."

It's so sad to see an outdoor dog, chained to a tree or a stake in the ground, laying outside all alone.

Or in a rickety dog house that provides no protection from the elements at all.

So listen to the angelic Ms. Henson and bring your pups indoors!!

Today's fan pet of the day is the adorbz Brooklyn!!

What a little cutie!!

TeddyHilton.com reader Hilary sent us pics of her lovely pooch and wrote:

"Attached is a picture of my maltipoo puppy Brooklyn :) she is 3 months old and an absolute terror…but how can u not love a face like that??"

Sometimes being a puppy and being a terror go hand in hand, we're sure she'll grow out of it eventually.

Though you should still enjoy her while she's such a cute pup!
