00:00Ben had been climbing to the very top of a tree on the windiest day imaginable.
00:05He was stranded on one tiny branch, and the situation was getting really dangerous.
00:11You probably want to be ready to catch.
00:14In a complete panic, Ben's family called Steve Murrow, our favorite neighborhood cat
00:19rescuer here at the dono. Normally, Steve can climb right up and rescue a cat,
00:24but this one was a completely different story. Ben had climbed all the way out onto the very
00:29tips of the branches, which meant they weren't strong enough to hold both of them.
00:33So, Steve had to anchor himself higher up in the tree and slowly work his way toward Ben.
00:39The limb that I'm worn is going to break if I go any higher.
00:42This was so nerve-wracking to watch. Ben was being the sweetest little guy,
00:47just sitting and waiting. But he must have been so scared.
00:52Steve offered him a treat, and he happily took it, which gave Steve some hope that he'd come closer.
00:57But he still wouldn't budge an inch.
01:00Steve stayed patient, and when another huge gust of wind came through,
01:05Steve knew this was his chance. Ben hugged against the branch to hide from the wind,
01:09and Steve just barely was able to reach and scoop him up. Ben climbed into the rescue bag,
01:14and the two of them finally made it safely back to the ground.
01:18All right, go ahead and take him inside. Hello, handsome.
01:21Tom. Penn's mom was beyond happy to have him back.
01:26Hey, look at, look at the picture, look at you.
01:29Steve, we are officially giving you the Dodo badge of honor.
01:32Hi, officer.
01:33Hi, man.
01:42Hi, man.
