I hate to toot my own horn again, but I saved the life of at least one frog/toad. My favorite example is when my boys found a large snake with a big toad in it's mouth, already about half swallowed, and called me over to show me. I figured the snake can't bite with its mouth stuffed so I picked it up and a while later it finally spit out the amphibian, which we let go. After showing off the cool snake to their friends, we took it back where we found it and let it go, too. On the way back we encountered a very cool old woman, had to be about 90 years old, hiking in that park and when she saw us carrying the snake she made a big deal about it being an old "legendary" snake that's lived there for many years and we'd better not be messing with it...luckily we were already heading back to let it go or she might have set a spell upon us. In fact, either I'm getting old and keep repeating the same stories (just humour me, please) or she did cast a spell and I'm getting crazier by the minute.
