   Two kittens who were thrown mercilessly into a a bag and then dumped in the   
   middle of the road are now available for adoption from and Iowa rescue group.   
   But if it weren't for the heroic actions of dog named Reagan, they probably   
   would not have survived.

   WHOTV reports that the two kittens, named Tipper and Skipper, were sealed in a   
   Meow Mix bag with the rest of the litter and then left in the street. The bag   
   had been run over by a vehicle, killing some of the kittens and making it   
   difficult to tell exactly how many cats were inside. Somehow, Tipper and   
   Skipper survived. "It was not a pretty sight," Linda Blakely from Iowa's   
   Raccoon Valley Animal Sanctuary said.   
      
   That's when Reagan stepped in. He grabbed the bag, and carried it home. He   
   didn't stop whining until his owner opened the bag. Covered in the blood and   
   remains of the kittens who were killed, she found two seriously injured   
   survivors.   
      
   "The instinct of the dog was to nurture and not kill the kittens. With all the   
   blood some dogs would have responded to the scent. Reagan the dog is a hero,"   
   Blakely said.   
      
   Tipper and Skipper were traumatized and weak from the experience, and had to   
   be fed with a bottle every two hours. They have recovered, and are now   
   available for adoption. Blakely believed their their survival is proof that   
   there is always a way to make things right, and wanted to remind pet owners   
   that there's always a safe method to finding a new home for pets if you are   
   unable to take care of them.
