Have you ever heard that they saved their owner’s life? Sure, there are millions of stories about them.  Animals are very sensitive and feel the threat before everybody could. When something goes wrong, they are the ones to stand out from the crowd and rescue their owners. Yes, animals are ready to do the impossible. Especially the brave ones are ready to fight for their loved ones. This article is devoted to the animals that saved people in real life.

This brave dog was adopted when he was just 8 weeks old puppy. His owner, Joe Stalnaker, trained him to hit a speed-dial button of 911 using his own teeth. It was ten years ago when Stalnaker suffered a head injury during a military training exercise and he always had such seizures. It was 2008 when this Buddy called the emergency line.

He was whimpering into the phone. Emergency responders realized everything and police was sent to Stalnaker’s home. When they arrived Buddy was burking very loudly:  Stalnaker was unconscious lying on the floor. Yes, Buddy rescued him and his owner recovered after a few days.Buddy has made two other 911 calls when Stalnaker was having seizures. This animal is really amazing and stands beside his owner as a true companion.

Honey was awarded as the dog of the 2006 year. She saved her owner’s life from a car accident. When Michael Bosch was trapped, he tried everything to release the dog at first. Honey was his only hope and he thought she could find a help from anywhere. Honey did it somehow. 

She ran and caught the attention of a man when she was a half-way away from her owner. Honey brought that to the place of the car accident. This English Cocker Spaniel could do everything for his owner. And now doctors concluded that Bosch would have died if the dog were unable to bring a man to the scene of car accident. Thanks to Honey, Michael Bosch is now alive.

Jo Ann Altsman suffered a heart attack while vacationing in the Pennsylvania woods. She needed a medical attention but there was nobody to help her. In order to rescue her owner, this little piggy did her best.  She broke to the gate of the mobile home they were living and ran toward the road. Whenever she saw a car, she walked into the road lying down there.

LuLu didn’t give up and tried everything possible to stop the traffic. Cars were passing without paying attention to this hopeless and desperate animal. But LuLu didn’t stop.  Finally, a motorcyclist stopped and approached her to make sure the piggy was not hurt. But LuLu got up and started towards the house. The motorcyclist also followed the pig and found Jo Ann in an unconscious condition. He called 911 and Jo Ann’s life was saved. Thank you, little piggy!

It was already five months when a babysitter had been working for the family. Killian, the family’s dog was very attentive to every action the babysitter was taking. He was always barking to her and behaved very aggressively towards her when she was seen by him. The parents of the little baby suspected the woman and decided to leave an iPhone under the couch while they were at work. They wanted to record everything when they were not at home. Yes, unfortunately, the woman treated the little baby very brutally and parents were horrified by listening to the tape.

They heard slap noises and the little baby’s crying through the tape. It was really unbearable. The police arrested the babysitter and she was placed on a registry of child abuse, which means she could never work with children anymore. Due to this heroic dog that was very loyal to this family a little baby was rescued. Now Killian is the family’s entrusted member.



7. Winnie The Cat

When the house was filled with carbon monoxide, Winnie the cat didn't sit silently. He went to his owner and started meowing and scratching her in order to make her and her husband wake up. Whenever she woke up he called 911 immediately as fumes filled the home. According to her it was a crazy meowing and you couldn’t ignore it even if you were asleep.

She is sure that it was this wonderful cat that saved her and her family. He really played a crucial role in their life as his screaming and scratching made them realize that something went wrong. The carbon monoxide came from a broken gas powered sump pump in their basement. They went from home in masks and soon recovered in the hospital. Winnie saved both the house and the family otherwise the situation would be really horrible.



8. Mila The Beluga Whale

Mila is a sensitive animal that always helps humans. A young diver was participating in a diving contest more than 20 feet deep and chilled to Arctic temperatures. When she wanted to return to the surface, her legs were crippled by cramp from the freezing cold. At that moment Mila came to rescue her. She pushed the diver to the top of the pool with her leg in Mila's mouth. In general, belugas have small teeth and they feed on small fish, so Mila didn't hurt the diver while helping him. 

The diver thought it was over but Mila rescued her and saved her life. In fact, it was an incredible and stunning act of an animal towards the rescue of a human life.



9. Filippo The Dolphin

A 14-year-old teenager fell out of his father's boat. He couldn't swim and would die if the dolphin hadn't rescued him. The father was unaware that his son had fallen from the boat. When Filippo saw the boy rushed and pushed him up out of the water to safety. He brought the boy close to his father and he could grab his son. It was unbelievable how this animal could have helped the boy.

He saved a human because he loves humans and is ready to help them. People from all over the world come to visit Filipo and admire his kind heart. Since Filippo became separated from a visiting school of dolphins he has lived in the waters off Manfredonia. It seems that Filippo isn’t afraid of humans and doing such a wonderful thing by saving a human is one of the beautiful acts of his kind heart.



10. Schnautzie The Kitten

Being just a kitten Schanutzie did a wonderful thing for her owners. It was a cold night in October 2007, when the kiiten sprang into Trudy Guy's chest and began tapping her nose with her paw. Trudy Guy was sleeping and he tried to ignore the kitten. But Schanutzi didn't stop. He tapped again and again trying to wake up the owner.  Her persistent action was really justified. When Guy woke up, she paid attention to the way Schnautzie was sniffing the air. Yes, a gas pipe had broken and was filling their house with fumes. The Guys and their kitten left the house immediately. They are sure that kitty rescued them. The house could have exploded in flames if the little kitten hadn't warned them beforehand. What a trusty feline!
