As Californians suffer the devastation caused by wildfires that have burned through more than 100,000 acres, one man braved the flames to save a wild rabbit and instantly became the hero we didn't know we needed.
Video of the daring rescue shows a Ventura County highway near La Conchita engulfed in smoke and flames. An orange-and-black singed sky fills the screen.
But then, a wild rabbit darts across traffic and into the burning brush.
A man, stopped on the road and wearing just shorts and a hoodie, races after him. The rabbit is both out of reach and in danger.
That's when the panic sets in. The man clutches his head, jumps up and down, and paces anxiously, agonizingly trying to figure out how to rescue the creature from its burning habitat. In a last-ditch effort, he wades into the brush to coax the rabbit out from the fire.

Iberians here cook them with garlic sauce; it is precious. They wheel it out on a cart, and you take these clippers and cut the limbs off. Yum...
Didn’t have to go far to create hasenpfeffer /s
Yep, sounds tasty.
Nice gesture but restored faith in humanity?
It will take a lot more than that for me.
“Who was filming him?”
Just about everybody on God’s green earth has a camera with him 24/7 now. The fire is a big deal, so I’m sure more people than usual were filming in that area.
We all have lunatics in our family
they don’t seem to mind the trees
burning, but don’t cut them becaue
some one is apt to make some money on
that and it would not be good for
socialism.
I agree with you 100%. This is on the level of the idiots who delivered the baby buffalo to a ranger station because it looked cold, thus ensuring the euthanizing of the animal.
This is the only thing I’ve seen worth clicking on CNN in years.
<He probably supports abortion
How the heck would you know? I can count on FR for some of the most ignorant and outright cruel statements about animals (unless it is a dog) and blacks.
I thought it was a beautiful thing. But then, I’ve had rabbits for years and think they are sweet animals. Even if that were not the case, I’d never assume someone was pro-abortion or that they had staged the rescue. For what purpose? What is he going to get for moving a rabbit out of harm’s way?
I don’t know about having my faith in humanity restored, but I do know I was moved by this act of compassion.
