Guo Zuchun drives a train in Chongqing, China. One day he saw three tiny owls on the track and managed to stop the train before hitting them. They were too small to fly, and are believed to be victims of a storm that destroyed their nest.

Two were given to a local wildlife centre to be raised, but Guo was allowed to keep one as a pet.
Now the young owl thinks his new life is a hoot, says Gou.
"I take him to work every day and he sits on the dashboard in front of me having a good look at what's going on around us," he said
"He seems to like riding the train more than he likes flying," laughed the driver.
