Good Deed Heroes

The volunteer rescue service that gets pets and pensioners out of scrapes

What can you do when you're stuck in the bath or up a tree? Why, call the Rescue Reserve, if course! Staffed by volunteers from all walks of life who've been trained by the professional rescue service, this service answers cute and poignant calls that can get overlooked by the busy professionals.
RTD rides along with a crew to find out how, and why, these good Samaritans devote their weekends to getting pets and pensioners out of scrapes.
