Everyday heroes:
When this Florida man had a heart attack, rescuers didn't just save his life --they mowed his lawn.
GENE and MELISSA WORK were rushing to finish yard work in time for a homeowner's association inspection. The stress proved too much for Gene and he had a heart attack. First responders got him to the hospital, where he's recovering. Then, firefighters returned to the couple's house and finished up the yard work. Pasco County Fire & Rescue officials says their staff believes in "helping the community whenever we are needed." (Still)Broadcast, cable and video news:
ABC News will be rolling out a special edition of "20/20" tonight focusing on those 12 boys and a coach who became marooned in a series of caves in Thailand. ABC Nightly News anchor DAVID MUIR and AMY ROBACH will anchor the hour-long show with interviews with the boys classmates, an English teacher at the school, their head soccer coach and other people connected with the rescue.
Quotable: "It's hard rescuing a soccer team because they can't use their hands." (A-List Comedy)Fashion Emergency:

Fast Food:
As you saw up top, today is Chick Fil-A's Cow Appreciation Day, which means if you dress up like a cow today, you can get free food at Chick Fil-A. Over 22-hundred locations are participating, and it lasts all day --from opening to 10 pm.
However, this year the restaurants will only be giving away free entrees --not full meals or their best-selling waffle fries. In addition, entree salads aren't included this year.
Customers too "chicken" to go all-cow attire get a free entree of choice for sporting a cow-spotted accessory. CowAppreciationDay.com offers cow costume ideas and even downloadable cow spots and masks for customers to turn out in their bovine best. Cows-for-a-day are encouraged to share their Cow Appreciation Day pix in a photo gallery on the site or tweet pictures of their costumes using the hashtag #CowAppreciationDay.
