good samaritan

Local resident's forgetfulness leads to car battery disaster after monster truck event in Casper - a lesson in winter preparedness and community kindness.

Lander Pet Connection, an animal shelter in Lander, Wyoming, recently posted a story about four puppies who were abandoned at the city dump.

The story comes from Accu Weather, who shared a video of a 'determined' SUV that did everything in its (horse)power to help a semi truck get up an icy hill.

First things first, make sure you have tissues handy, because this is one of those happy tear jerkers.

Casper has many "Good Samaritans", especially during this time of year when the weather is at its worst.

"We were on outer drive tonight and saw someone lost a box of stuffed animals all over the road on the westbound lane," a good Samaritan wrote. "Get in touch. We can get them back to you."

Capserites are always great at helping each other out in times of need and that's just another one the things that makes living here grand.

It is a famous proverb that is said quite often, but it's because it is almost always fitting in everyday life: not all heroes wear capes.

Police arrived at the scene to find the vehicle's driver, Joshua Thompson, being held down by two 'good Samaritans.'

Days later, another good Samaritan reached out to the school district and helped pay off the remaining balance.
