Lexi knew she had to do something.

Lexi didn’t have shoes on, so she hiked up the rocky embankment barefoot.

Cody McNeese

It was chilly on the evening in Wills Point, Texas.

There was a heater in Cody McNeese’s and his brother Dustin’s room.

He managed to get his brother out of the room, and they met their mom in the hallway.

They received treatment at a local hospital and were released within the week.

Cody was hailed a hero, and he and his little brother recovered completely.

The medication combination could have been fatal had it not been for the tot’s quick thinking.

Bowdy Shoff

There’s something to be said for putting a camera in the baby’s room.

Especially if you have precocious twin boys that like to play before the rest of the family wakes up.

Twin 2-year-old brothers Brock and Bowdy Shoff were playing one morning, climbing on the dresser in their bedroom.

The dressertipped over, pinning Brock underneath.

Luckily, Bowdy assessed the situation and pushed the dresser off of his brother.

Both boys were unharmed.

Understandable, really, when you think of what could have happened.

Celebrate heroes of all ages

Even little tiny kids know when someone is in trouble.
