Usually, when a video surfaces about a brand, it's bad news. But this one reflects pretty positively on the company in question.

A video recorded on a hidden camera shows a Home Depot employee catching a baby that had been positioned in a shopping cart. The baby's shopping cart holder tipped and this worker was just in time to save the infant from what could have been a devastating fall onto a concrete floor.

A Home Depot rep says that the employee is a pro loader in Anchorage, Alaska. After the incident, he received an Angel Award from the company for outstanding acts of safety.
