Good Deed Heroes

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

It could be a pensioner who can't get up after a fall or a kitten who's stuck on top of a tree. The calls the volunteers from the Rescue Reserve receive range from the heartbreaking to the hilarious.
RTD rides along in a service van to find out how the people of Moscow need rescuing and why helping others is so addictive.
