Homeless Hero

I usually try not to have the same subject in posts that are too close together just for the sake of variety,but when I heard about this one I decided it was worth breaking that rule.
A homeless cat in the Russian town of Obninsk saved an abandoned baby from the freezing weather. The residents of the apartments where Masha (the cat) lives all leave food out for her and supplied her with a cardboard box to curl up in when the weather was severe. One of the residents heard what they thought to be Masha meowing and went to see if she was hurt or in distress and found Masha curled up around a 6-12 week old baby boy. An ambulance was called for the baby and Masha followed the attendant and tried to get in when they put the baby inside. After they headed off for the hospital Masha sat by the road waiting for them to bring the baby back for several hours. The baby checked out to be fine thanks to Masha's mothering instincts and authorities are now searching for the parents.
