All of us love beaches and what’s more blissful than feeling the sand on your feet. And so a 95-year-old woman named Dottie Schneider visited Orange Beach, Alabama to feel the sea breeze and leave her footprints on the shore. Unfortunately, she couldn’t do it herself. That’s when lifeguards came to her rescue. They carried her in their arms to fulfill her desire to walk on the beach. For the whole week that * Schneider* and her family were at the beach’s resort, the lifeguards carried her from the resort to the beach and then took her for a walk every day. She also took a few pictures with the lifeguards that was posted on Instagram and has been going viral.
