A German bus driver was suspended on April 19, 2009 after she stopped her double decker bus to save a frog from being squashed. Passengers were hopping mad when the bus driver, Christina Pommerel, 46, leapt from behind the wheel, rescued the frog, put it in a box and released it on the side of the road.
"I couldn't just squash it," Pommerel, who has been driving buses for 13 years in the southern German city of Regensburg, told daily Die Welt. "I did my job and saved a life," she added.
Irate passengers took a dim view of the rescue mission and complained to the bus company, which suspended the driver. However, after a media uproar and a public outpouring of support for the driver, the company decided the frog-loving driver can resume her duties -- but only if she refrains from such mercy missions in future.
