There is a superhero walking the streets of Birmingham, Ala. Four-year-old Austin Perine spends his allowance buying food for homeless people.

He learned that some people don’t have a place to live after watching an “Animal Planet” documentary in which a mother panda left her cubs. His dad, Terance Perine, said, “Well, I guess they’ll be homeless for a while.” Austin wanted to know if people could be homeless – and then decided he should use his allowance to help others. Every time he hands out a chicken sandwich, he adds the same words, “Don't forget to show love.”  

His kindness has inspired a number of media reports, and Burger King has offered to add $1,000 a month to Austin’s $25 a week allowance so that he can feed more people. “Feeding the homeless is the highlight of my life,” he told CBS News. 

Ignoring Edna Mode of “The Incredibles,” Austin wears a cape so that he can go faster. “It blows in the wind,” he told CNN.
