In Dublin, a homeless man’s pet rabbit, Barney, was thrown into the freezing River Liffey by a passerby. He jumped in after him without hesitation, pulling him from the water and trying to save him. In interviews, he said Barney “d*ed in my arms” and that he gave him the “kiss of life” under a bridge — a desperate attempt to bring him back. The story shocked people not just because of the cruelty, but because of his reaction. The attacker was later jailed, while the man received widespread support and recognition.
