I walk past this house every morning on my way to work. At first, the big curly-haired dog—Herbie, according to the sign—would bark like I was some kind of intruder. Every. Single. Time. Then, one day, I noticed the sign. “Trying to teach my dog—Herbie—that passersby are not a threat. If you see him outside, please give him a treat! Thanks :)” A little plastic bag of treats was taped below it. I hesitated, then grabbed one and held it out. Herbie stopped barking instantly. He sniffed, tilted his head, then gently took the treat from my hand. His tail…

His name was Mr. Callahan. “They say he hasn’t responded much,” one nurse whispered. “Maybe Riley can help.” I nodded and gave Riley the command. Without hesitation, he hopped onto the bed, resting his head…

I used to hide my backpack behind the dumpster behind school, not because I was scared it’d get stolen—but because I was sleeping back there too. My mom and I ended up homeless my junior year. She lost her job at the dental office, then the apartment, and we started living in her old minivan. She tried to shield me from it, you know? She’d park at the 24-hour laundromat so I could pretend we were just doing laundry late.…

Officer Johnson didn’t expect anything extraordinary that morning. Another typical shift, another slow station day. Then he heard. A weak, forlorn meowing outside. After hearing the sound, he found the smallest kitten ever trembling in a damp cardboard box in the alley behind the building. Just a few days old, its eyes scarcely open, its weak body fighting to move. He grabbed it and took it inside, warming it with his palms. Someone found an old bottle and smiled while feeding the kitty. Who would discard something so small? He thought of something. He contacted station security. “Pull up the…
John has visited my office for years. Same order, quiet nod. One of those guys you don’t think twice about until you do. Last week, I told him my girlfriend and I were going to Vietnam. Just talking. His face transformed completely. “I was there,” he said. Fall of Saigon. Orphaned kids were loaded aboard flights to save as many as possible.” My stomach sank. I was a baby. Told him. Watched his hands stop on the counter. Eyes welled. “Then I might’ve held you,” he muttered. Nobody talked for a moment. The hands that saved me always puzzled me.…
