I read a surprising number of feelgood stories like this about animals saved or helped in India. Respect to the Indian people for their empathy and kindness towards animals. I wish more of the world was like this.

I love all furry creatures big and small, just not the eight legged ones. 
I scared my family the other day when I was outside with my dogs. When I went to reach for the back door to let them in, I looked down because I thought I saw a frog waiting at the door, which happens because frogs seem to like the cool air leaking out from under this back door. 
But, when I got closer, it was not a frog, it was a huge man-eating spider just waiting to come in. I left that part of the yard and went to the other back door and living room window and started tapping on the window to get my families attention. No one knew it was me outside trying to get in another way, holding two little dogs in my arms. It was comical. I really wasn't in the mood to slay a huge spider in my house, or worse it gets away, as this was my master bedroom.
That being said, we try to leave them be.
