Life sucks and then you die, but if you’re lucky you might help some hamsters first. Last Friday members of Lacey Fire Department District 3 responded to a small house fire and found Oreo, Madonna, and two of their babies in distress—luckily, miniaturized oxygen masks come standard as part of Lacey, Washington’s rescue plan for imperiled pets.

Do I wish the firefighters had used mouth-to-mouth resuscitation instead? Kind of! Does that in any way diminish the beauty of knowing these happy hammies are alive and well? Heck, no!
