My dog went for help solo when I hurt myself in the forest. I told him to go get Boy. Boy was the name of a dog on the property. Where you found Boy, you found his owner. My boy ran off without hesitation and was back with help in 30 minutes. RIP Romeo. He’s my hero and I miss him every day. Hubble’s story reminded me of how Romeo went for help.

I take my little dog hiking with me and it took me a few missteps to finally realize to trust her instincts on the trail. When I think I need to go left and she goes right I follow her and she’s 100% correct every time.

I agree. I recently lost my 12 year old dog I miss him every day. I have two horses almost 30 years old, but they are still doing well.

My dad would take a draft horse into the woods in the winter pulling a tank trailer to pour maple sap into. One time he broke his foot, the horse was a ways off still hooked to the trailer. She came to him by voice command while still pulling the load and not getting it hung up on any of the trees. He was able to climb onto the wagon and bring them home. Another time the same horse pulling a cart refused to take one more step. That was unlike her. Even when my dad swatted her with the long reins she refused. He hopped off the cart to see the dogs leash had gotten tangled around the wheel and reeled the dog in. He was able to cut the leash and save the dog. One more step and she could have broken the dogs neck. She was one of the best horses I have ever worked with. Sadly we lost her to an asthma attack/tracheal collapse a few years ago.

LoreFreak Great horse....so sorry you lost her

I had two horses for over 20 years. One had injured her leg in the field and couldn’t walk very well. A friend of mine kept her horse on my land, she found my horse injured in the field 500 yards from the stable but my horse would not move for her so my friend came up to my house to tell me and I walked down to where my horse was in the field and as soon as my horse saw me she just walked by my side, no head collar, up to the stable area and went into her stable. She obviously had a bond with me and trusted me more than my friend although my friend had known my horse for 3 years. My 2 horses were both almost 40 years old when they died within 6 months of each other. They had been together for 34 years and with me for almost 22 years. I still miss them today almost 7 years ago.

AmericanPatriot a bird remembers that when they say these words they get praise. They are mimickers. Dogs (such as my old baby) can remember a LOT of words and what they mean. Birds don’t exactly care about you, just that you feed them. Dogs however, have a massive emotional intelligence, has been proven that they recognize faces, basic human facial expressions, and look at faces left to right, the same as humans do. They exhibit incredible problem solving, they protect you (my aunts dog circled her to keep distance from a creepy guy who approached her and was very threatening to him. Moose was a good boi and never did stuff like that) and they have an incredible memory and word comprehension. When’s the last time a parakeet displayed enough emotional intelligence, fully understood words, phrases, and facial expressions? not just mimic, memorization, and repetition to make them say it consistently. Intelligence isn’t just based on the problem solving, and the mimicking of words without understanding what most of them mean. Dogs are EXTREMELY intelligent, and I would bet you my current and future income that they are absolutely smarter than a parrot or parakeet.

There is nothing more that makes me angry and very sad is when I see people being cruel to animals. Animals are far better than Humans .Their loyalty is wonderful.

I've found people see horses as things more than living animals. I've been around horses my whole life and they are the most loving loyal animals anyone will ever meet.

The story of Hubble was absolutely Amazing! Sir what a huge gift you were given by God! He certainly DID save your life that day. The story with the horse is quite remarkable! Horse's are flight animals, especially when in danger! The fact that he hung around and helped that Man, truly is a miracle.

My little puddle-terrier cross was once attacked by a pit bull. He survived but had nightmares crying and twitching for weeks to come. And my cat, who until then was always teasing and biting the dog, slept next to him every single night, hugging his hurt leg and purring non stop. Cats usually purr if they are unwell, since it produces chemical substance which makes it easier for them. Time passed. The dog recovered. Nightmares slowly, slowly stopped. And yes, the cat also went back to her usual mean(ish) self, with the dog teasing as her favourite thing to do.

Animals never cease to amaze me.

Parrot secret skill "harpy scream"

I've had horses and dogs. Couldn't be without either. Both loving and smart and protective. Was with my mare when she was born and again when she left this world 24 years later. Can't wait to see her in the hereafter when it's my turn.

Horses have all the great qualities that dogs do, people don't get how connected you can be with horses. They'll really have your back. I slide down a huge revine once (no drastic attack I went to do to the bathroom to close to the trails edge. . .). And I was worried that my Arabian mare would run off but she met me half way back up, she was working her way down to me.

So awesome that this video has the real people actually telling their own story, plus we get an education by experts. Thank you!

Horses have a sense of humor, too! I've been the brunt of many jokes by them and "hear" them snicker.

*TRUTH, Melissa!* God sent me a series of dogs that saved my life as a very unwanted and very battered child. I had three people beating on me at the slightest provocation. The reason is that I was not the boy they wanted after having six girls. Each and every time my aggressors beat on me, my dogs would rush in and frequently take hits meant for me and/or got kicked for their loyalty, love and protection of me. Since then, I have never been without dogs my entire life, even when I traveled, even taking one to another country and back. They always went with me. I will never, ever be without a dog or three in my life. Dogs are the best company God ever gave humans and I would risk my life to protect them. The gang I have now all sleep in our bed with us every night. I married my husband because he loves animals and dogs in particular and doesn't mind them crowding him to the edge of our big bed each night. *Animals are my "thing" and I know God chooses dogs for me to show me the shining example of what true love really looks like, as opposed to humans who do terrible things to other humans. Currently I have three beauties and they enrich my life **_every single day_** just as much as my two daughters do as well. *Please be kind to your dog. They love you no matter what!*

Incredible video, especially the first one with the man and his dog out in British Columbia, and his accident, with a sander up a ladder, building his house/cabin! His dog definitely saved his life! And the second story is incredible also, with the man being chased down by a bear, and this one horse, who was a little standoffish, coming over and finding him on the ground to help this fellow get out of there and get some help! Because as they said, that bear probably was going to be coming back to finish him off! This first story really made me cry a lot…very moving… Wonderful dog and wonderful horse! Thank you for the great videos!

Not just " assisting the Alfa"- Saving and helping a soulmate/friend in dire need (sometimes even a stranger!!) and helping even if they are scared- that´s only achieved if you respect the animal, give back It´s trust & love! Abused animals seldom help "their owners" out of a free will.

Animals do know when things are wrong or their people need help. This pales in comparison to these stories but yesterday I sliced my thump on a slicer cutting an onion. Last night my 1/2 Rag doll cat leaned over to sniff my thumb and gently nudged me as if he was giving me a kitty boo boo kiss. It was so sweet. They know!

"do animals sense when their owners are in danger or do they just act on instinct" what's the difference? They do both! ☺️

I will never forget when I was growing up riding my first pony at about the age of 10. I had wanted to cut down this little dirt road between some fields and a forest and he wouldn’t go no matter what I tried he wouldn’t go so I gave up and went home. Later my mom and I drove by and I asked her to stop so I could investigate, and sure down the path - not too far was a swarm of bees that I couldn’t see or hear before because I wasn’t close enough. My pony was!

(14:22) Yep. The dog earned that steak! Good Boy!

What a good doggie!

if anything could make you cry, it's a story like this

The horse save the day,. It blessing that horses help got rid of the bear.

When I was 7 yrs old my shetland pony smelled a man hiding in the bush about to jump out and pull me off his back. My pony snorted and would not step forward. I kicked my pony in the ribs but he wouldnt go foward. Therefore I turned him around and went the other way. The man came out and hollered at me from a distance to come back. I think about that pony quite often. He saved my life. I will always appreciate that pony. ALLWAYS.

Animals are better than humans many times, so loyal, so unconditional in their love.

As a vet tech I can say that I truly believe and always have even before becoming a tech. Animals have spirits they have character and personality just like humans and experience the same situational awareness and feelings like depression and sadness, fear, happiness & joy, anger etc. they are very intelligent to know when to save a person or protect them from attacks, police dogs or emotional or disability working animals. I’ve had plenty of dogs who know the drive to the vet vs say the dog park or something because they remember surroundings and directions and it’s amazing.
