Among million things that make us feel happier, helping others has a special place. When we help animals, who can’t take care of themselves and often feel lost in the world of people, those good deeds are even more precious. Whether it’s a cat or a dog we take from a shelter to give them a loving family, or a duckling we occasionally save on the street, nothing feels more rewarding than a happy face of an animal we’ve just saved.

Here at Bright Side, we want to share 18 pawsome acts of kindness that Reddit users told us about this autumn, and we hope you can tell us about your good deeds!
