What happened
In Palm Bay, Florida, a mother and her young son were stuck on their kitchen counter with three dogs for over three hours as floodwater filled their home. Emergency crews couldn't reach them, so she asked for help on Facebook.
A woman who saw the post sent her two teenage sons. One borrowed a neighbour's kayak, the other took a paddleboard. They got the boy out first, then the mother and all three dogs.
Why we love it
Everyone made it to dry land — rescued by two kids who simply decided to go.
