Many people owe their lives to the tender protection and brave acts of other animals. Here’s just a small look at the stories of eight remarkable animals that have saved people’s lives.
Pig dashes into street for heart attack victim
JoAnn Altsman had a heart attack and collapsed to the ground. Lulu, her daughter’s pot-bellied pig, rushed out of the house, lying down in the street to stop traffic. The pig tried relentlessly to get help, returning to the house to check on JoAnn, only to rush back to the street desperate for help. Finally, one person stopped and followed the determined pig back to the house, where they found JoAnn in pain on the floor. She was immediately rushed to a hospital.

+ add your ownFor the love of animals! Look what they do for us and sadly what we coldly do to them.
Amazing stories. Thanks for sharing.
Touching stories. There are a lot of others that could be added, I guess. We should take a leaf out of their book!
Grandi storie,riflettiamo noi umani ci saremo comportati allo stesso modo? ne dubito.
Love these stories!!! Animals are so special. They do so much for us and all are loving loyal companions. I only hope one day soon people start realizing this and start respecting and caring for our world's animal species. God knows they've earned it and more!!!
That's why we've got to respect them
Fascinating article. Just goes to show that animals do have compassion and think things through; if only more humans acted so humane.
Thanks.
Amazing stories but just look at all the awful things humans do to animals!
Thanks so much for the inspiring article!
