Kind beachgoers rescued WHO?

An inbox filled with news of animal cruelty might make it seem like it's all gloom and doom for animals, but that's not always the case.


They also inspire hope and joy every day.


Let's flip the script and focus on a heartwarming story today!


When Liza Phillips spotted a large animal thrashing in the shallow waves at Nantucket's Low Beach in Massachusetts, she thought she was seeing a beached whale. She rushed over to help. Unknown to her, the animal in trouble was far more dangerous — a great white shark.


The shark lay helpless on the shore, barely moving in the sand. It was clear to Liza that without help, the suffering animal would not be able to get back to the deep water.

With "adrenaline" and compassion, Liza and another beachgoer risked their safety and pushed the struggling animal back into the deep water, and the shark swam away!


Great white sharks may be the largest predatory fish on the planet, but contrary to popular belief, they don’t consider humans food and rarely attack them.


We hope this story brightened your day!
