"Because we can all benefit from good news during these hard times, I wanted to share this story. An Amazon delivery driver delivered more than packages this summer as he jumped into a pool to rescue a drowning dog - delivering the gift of life. The driver, John Cassabria, from Woburn, Massachusetts, took no time to remove his wallet, phone, or watch, but instead jumped in to help an animal in need. The owners had left on vacation earlier that day, and the dog sitter had not yet arrived. The dog was a 14-year-old pup who doesn’t normally swim, but is thought to have gone in after a bone caught in the pool’s vacuum. John is grateful he was in the right place, at the right time to help the animal in need. " #goodnews #driversdoinggood #saveanimals

Amazon is running out of warehouse space. With over 100 J.C.Penney and Sears retail stores closing up shop - will the eCommerce giant overtake the space for fulfillment purposes?
