I had a drug addiction that lasted 2 years. When I got my dog, I immediately quit. She would look at me like "What are doing in the bathroom for hours, when you have me?" Like I said, I immediately quit and genuinely believe she saved my life, as I had overdosed several times prior to having her in my life. She is 13 and I have been drug-free for 13 years.

My dad rescued a kitten who was lost in a blizzard back in 1997, and she was extremely loyal to him her entire life and concerned about his health. He often would nap in his chair but when he developed sleep apnea and would stop breathing while he slept, she would nudge him enough to wake him just enough so he'd start breathing again. When she passed on, she was cremated with her ashes saved, and then was buried with my dad when he passed several years later, because they loved each other that much and had effectively saved each other's life.

@Stephanie Morton: It certainly was to see their mutual love for each other. She was a seal-point Siamese, and he was definitely a cat person (Mother was more a dog person) and she was definitely HIS cat (although I loved her too, not only based on her initial rescue) We never did find out why she was out in that blizzard when she had obviously just been weaned from her mother. He named her Muttley. *Edited for clarity.

@@jacklow9611 the kitten might’ve been dropped off by someone. I’ve known of a lot of ppl doing this instead of finding them a home or who can’t find them a home. Some do it to an entire litter, and some get a kitten then realize they don’t want it. Anyways, sweet story, I had a solid white cat w/blue eyes that got me thru the most difficult times in my life (health wise) so I get their bond. Recently put mine down for health reasons…it was tough, but I couldn’t be selfish and keep him alive just to satisfy my own needs.

I had picked up a red nose pit bull in the middle of a busy street several years ago. After not being able to locate her owner we named her Sweetie and kept her. One day we noticed she kept bumping her nose to my husband's back and we just thought it was strange and it didn't think anything of it. She continued this behavior and one day when my husband was at the V.A. hospital for some tests it was determined that he had kidney cancer. We told the Dr. about Sweetie's behavior and she said that some hospitals use dogs for that purpose, early detection of cancer. I still can't get over her doing that....She was always a fantastic pet...We miss her so much. She died of old age and heart failure. Animals never cease to amaze me.

My dad brought home a polish sheep dog puppy that had been tossed over the fence of the dump yard where he worked. We named him Floppy, and when he was about three, and myself around five he broke through a window to get to me when a strange dog tried attacking me in our front driveway. He got the dog off of me and laid on top of me growling and snapping at the dog when he tried to come back until my dad got to us from the garage. Floppy would not get off of me until my dad came to pick me up after making sure the dog had run off and wouldn't let my dad get in the truck with out him. He laid with his head in my lap while I cried and taken to the doctors. (Only three stitches!) He was incredibly protective of children and never hesitated to put himself between us and a threat. He lived to the ripe age of fourteen and passed cuddled up in front of the fire with our three cats. RIP Floppy the Glass Shattering Hero

When I had freshly graduated High School, my mom was a teacher and she, unfortunately, still had to go to work so that left me alone all day Mondays through Fridays. One Particular time I had fallen asleep on the couch in the living room, I was startled awake when someone started banging on our front door like I owned them money. This person really wanted in my house, or for me to answer the door. I sat up and froze, I was so scared I didn't know what to do. I was home alone. I couldn't get up and get the phone because they would see me from the window by the door. In come my two barely two years old, half mastiff, half husky dogs. Brutus stayed at the door and barked to let this man know that there was at least ONE large and very angry dog inside this home. Alexandria came to check on me, give me a kiss, and then she went to go bark at the door, and then would come back and check on me, then back to the door. And she did this little back and forth until the man stopped banging on the door and left. Never knew who that man was, never knew what that man wanted. But it couldn't have been good. He never came back, either. Thanks to my Alex and Brutus he didn't try to break in beyond banging on the door. Alex died in October of 2019 due to complications with her Diabetes. I miss her dearly. And Brutus is still alive and managing with his liver cancer, but still a very very very good boy and he is always by my side. Even right now. I hope you enjoyed my story. Might not have have been as life saving as all the others, but I believe it still has merit.

Nah, definitely life saving. Stopping a break in from happening (and from possibly escalating to your murder due to you being the sole witness) was certainly a life saving thing your dogs did.

I raised a kitten. We were really close. When I was outside. She kept a perimeter around me. If another animal came within the boundaries. She would be real cool. Then leap into action. Then smooth her way back. An obnoxious in law came by and started to play fight. All in fun. Just messing with me. So I warned him to stop. He didn't . Samantha stopped him quick. She was a loving smart cat. Kind to everyone. But a protector from harm to all. When she had kittens, she would carry them to the dog house and get the Golden Retriever to babysit them while we worked in the yard. At the end of the day. She'd bring them back into the house. All cleaned up. Then at night. She'd put the kittens in the bed beside me. And carried them back to the clothes basket while I made coffee in the morning. Damn I miss her. So many stories I could tell about Samantha.

When my wife has night terrors, my Bombay runs into our room and lays on her face and kisses her until she wakes up.

I had a golden retriever/German shepherd mix. One day, as a kid, I decided to go down the street to a friend's house. My dog wanted to go with me, but I left him, as I planned on going inside my friend's house. I had always gone through the backyard of this friend's home to knock on the door. This particular day, I was already halfway across the yard when his female husky came from the corner of the yard growling and baring her teeth. She was a couple feet in front of me & I knew I would have to defend myself. When she finally lunged, all of the sudden, MY dog came through my legs from behind me. I have no idea how he got out of the house or how he knew where I was, but he saved me from injury. To this day, he's the best friend I've ever had 🐕🥰

My staffie saved me from a taxi driver who id had a lift with about 20mins previous. He was climbing through a window into my home where I was alone aside from the dog. I was so so grateful to her, she fiercely protected me.

Every time I took my siblings to the neighborhood pool, Esme insisted on following us and laying by the pool’s edge, even letting the kids pet and snuggle her no matter how soaked she got. When we would practice diving for pool rings and other toys, she would pace anxiously back and forth at the water’s edge, meowing loudly at our mom who watched us from our front porch across the street Cats are awesome. Nobody can tell me they’re heartless.

I've heard many many stories of people say that their dogs kept scratching certain parts of there body over and over only to find out they had cancer and stuff like that.dogs are amazing and truly are man's best friend.

We had a sweet, docile, loving shepherd husky mix that loved everyone she ever met. One day I walked outside with her because I saw my husband pull up in the driveway. He left his car and was at the mailbox at the end of the drive by the time Micha and I got out there. She looked at this guy at the mailbox and went into full-on Cujo mode. Her hackles were raised from neck to tail. She was in a guard stance and barking more viciously than I ever thought she could. My husband yelled her name to get her to stop, but it wasn't until he was close enough for her to smell him that she realized who he was. It was funny how embarrassed she was, and she started fawning all over him and wagging her tail. That was the day we realized that we had an amazing protector. Best dog ever. ❤

To me he sounded so goofy. To our gsd, who was 4 at the time, he sounded like someone that didn't belong.

Most of the more severe illnesses happen to people because an upsetting event occurs in their lives taking them by surprise, unexpectedly, impacting first in the brain, then in the corresponding organ which that part of the brain controls. The end of WWI had absolutely everything to do with the Flu and lung TB outbreak that occurred killing millions. In nature, the biological conflict linked with a territorial fear (just what it means-a fear in your territory, your home, your community, etc.) is a widening of the bronchia (tissue loss). Your body attempts to widen your bronchia in order to allow more air into your lungs to give you more strength and energy to fight to keep your territory safe. Stay with me.......The biological conflict linked with a death fright impacts the lungs. The lungs attempt to grow larger in order to allow more air in because breath equals life, as we all know. No breath equals death. While you are in the fear or death fright conflict, you notice no symptoms of “disease”, except you have cold hands, cold feet, you can’t sleep, you awaken at 3 AM every night, you have little appetite. During the war, millions of people were in fear of the bombing of their homes and cities where the war was most active. Fearing for their lives, their loved ones in the war, their ability to survive. The food in the stores was sparse due to shortages. This lasted for 4 long years! The longer the conflict, the worse the healing phase. Within 2 weeks of the German Chancellor announcing the end of WWI, these millions of people ALL went into the healing phase all at the same time. It is during the healing phase that you experience symptoms of illness! What is the healing phase of the bronchia widening? Severe bronchitis, pneumonia. The body attempts to refill this lost tissue and you experience inflammation, fever, coughing, body aches, fatigue, etc. What is the healing phase of the extra lung tissue that grew? Decomposing of the tissue by TB bacteria and fungi. The symptoms of this healing phase are: severe coughing up of blood and tissue, fever, inflammation, severe mucous, body aches, fatigue. During this decomposing of the extra tissue (tumor), the body expels a lot of protein, and without replenishment, severe protein loss can result in death. Antibiotics did not exist yet. If TB bacteria does not exist in a person or they have been vaccinated against TB (big mistake), then the tumor will simply encapsulate and become dormant and not harm you. Who died during the Spanish Flu? Mainly the poor who could not afford to buy meat and proper nourishment, and the people who were directly impacted by the bombings and destruction of their homes. Millions of people suffered fear and death frights during the fighting of WWI, and millions of people all went into healing at the end of it. Not everyone was affected because not everyone suffered the same way. It’s not a “flu”, it’s not something you “catch”. It’s biological, meaningful, and unavoidable. One hundred years later, a Fear Campaign begins, using the media to spread it.....

Why would anyone think a cat would be evil? The one that alerted his owner to the fire was a lovely story. Loved cats and dogs reflect their ‘owners’. If they are treated lovingly as members of the family, they respond that way.

We had a lot of bad people (Sex offenders mostly) right down the road so having that dog always with us definitely made us feel safer. One time he wasn’t around this guy in a suv slowed down and rolled down his window, we were all quickly backing away when Goober came out of nowhere growling and barking, he got in front of us and stood ready to attack. Safe to say the guy left quickly. He got hit by a car a couple years later sadly, Sure do miss him

Despite this, he still protects us. Every time I walk to the corner store, he will walk to the top of the street with me. Then he hides. When I return, he will jump out from his hiding place., scaring me and making sure that I have returned at the same time. This happens every single time !!

My war dog took two bullet´s for me, literally ...he never flinched! He survived being shit in the chest and back leg. Those two bullets were also meant for me, along with the one already in my hip. I would not have survived three hits. When I left the service not long later ...I took Max with me. The very least I could do was give him a comfortable retirement. He passed away peacefully at 14 1/2 years...best friend I ever had. He was my brother...nothing less...and losing them feels like you lose a brother.

I was a baby sitting on my dads lap when my mom was hitting my dad and me and our dog at that time attacked her. This is why my heart is so big for animals.

Ive come to believe that your dog will sometimes have ur back more than a person would. In my experience.

I had a Bull Mastiff that saved my life at least 5 times. I'm a diabetic and while walking him my sugar dropped to low. I just told him we needed to go home NOW and he pretty much dragged me home without stopping. He protected me for muggers, people that were strangely following me late at night, and an armed person that was in my house. Grabbed his guy who was about 6'3 by the throat and put him on the floor.lol He is the dog by which all others are measured! I will have his ashes buried with me someday.

My daughter is 38 now. I named her Cheryl after my sister who died 3 and half years before I had her. When she was 3, my Mom and stepdad (my daughter called him Grandaddy) took her on a roadtrip in their motorhome with the dog, her name was Francie. She was 11 years old, we had her since she was 8 weeks of age. One night while they were sleeping Francie was licking my Mom and whining and pushing on my Mom to wake her. Then my Mom heard wheezing coming from my Cheryl. It was Cheryls first asthma attack. She spent 3 days in the hospital. Francie saved her life. Francie was always guarding Cheryl and trying to keep strangers from getting near her since she was born. Cheryl still has asthma.

I had an experience very similar to the number one story, so similar its scary. I once had a Black Lab named Reggie. Even though I never had any classes on how to train dogs I trained him beautifully. So good was his training I could walk him without a leash and he would never stray from my side unless I gave him permission and would come back to me when I pointed to my side. One Day I was doing electrical work under my house. For some reason something about this scared me beforehand and told me to bring a my machete with me. Reggie, who rarely left my side, also followed me. I was flat on my back, pushing a wire up though a hole, when I heard a rattle I never heard in real life but only on TV. I knew it was a rattlesnake. I froze and cautiously looked towards the rattle sound and sure enough there was a rattlesnake curled up ready to strike. Suddenly, I heard the growling of what I thought was vicious wolf ready to pounce. But then I thought I was in the middle of a big major city and my yard had a huge fence so that was impossible. I tilted my head back to see my normally calm docile Lab companion, Reggie, very angry, poised to attack, and growling at the snake. I never seen him like this. I heard the dogs fur stand straight up when angry but I thought that was a wise tale until that day for his all his fur was standing straight up. Well he distracted the snake long enough for me to me to kill it using my machete. I then left the work undone and immediately came from under the house. Then I gave my dog lots of hugs and even kisses. Sadly this all happened in the early eighties before taking video was popular so no video. Because of I had no proof no one ever believed me. But I will always remember that day and the loving actions of my dearly departed friend that saved my life.

Tara the cat is an absolute hero, and great big sister.

My old dog did actually save my life last year according to the doctor who was taking care of me when I came down with COVID. I had been sick for a week with it and was home alone because I was told to quarantine for 10 days and then I could go back to work. However, I was too sick with it and actually got worse. I got to where I could barely turn over in bed or take a breath. I couldn't eat or drink because the coughing was so bad. Everything kept coming back up due to vomiting from coughing so hard. So food, water and my medicines didn't stay down. My old dog, Meaty, kept coming into my bedroom, climbing up on the step stool that I use to get into the bed because it's so tall, and he kept sticking his head under the covers, licking my toes and pulling on the blankets. He was relentless. He stirred up the cockatiel Indie bird and got him squawking. Between him and the bird, I did eventually get up, although I had to crawl once I got out of the bed to keep from fainting and that had already happened 3 times. I let him out and fed and watered him and Indie and went back to bed. He did that twice a day the whole week I was home before I ended up hospitalized, having too much difficulty breathing because unbeknownst to me at the time, I had developed pneumonia on top of the COVID. Had Meaty just left me alone, the doctor said I would have died because when I was brought into the hospital, I was in respiratory failure. I still have that silly old dog. He's still annoying for no apparent reason, but I still love his silly self. He was born here like his father was and he will die here of old age like his father did. His father was 21 when he died. I imagine if he's anything like his father, Fatboy, he will be with me maybe 5 more years. It will be very heart breaking when he leaves. 😢

Years ago when my now teen daughter was in about 2d grade, we were waiting for the bus in our front yard. Shadow was our Aussie shepherd puppy’s. Large at 2, she was in our backyard. A man came walking his two golden retriever. One bounded off the sidewalk toward my daughter. My sweet Shadow, normally very gentle, was at the fence instantly, hackles raised, teeth bared and growling deep in her chest. I told the owner he best move his dogs to the opposite side of the street as Shadow wasn’t leashed and our three foot fence wouldn’t have been an obstacle if she felt like jumping. My gentle Shadow was going to go to war to defend my girl. She’s old now…but still a loveable warrior.

I had a weird experience with a hummingbird. We have hummingbird feeders around my house so it’s not unusual for hummingbirds to be zipping around the house chasing each other off to defend a feeder. However, one day when I went outside a hummingbird came right up to me cheeping away as if trying to give me a warning. There was a garden snake just a few feet away. Although the snake was of no harm, it was still pretty cool to see the hummingbird trying to warn me about it.

i guess any snakes would be a danger to a small guy, huh?

I was feeding my chameleon and tripped over the trash bin stepping backwards because I'm super coordinated like that. Knocked my head on the concrete floor and my magic LSD lizard climbed out of his open terrarium down to the floor (which chameleons as arboreal lizards don't like being on the ground), left the room went up the carpet stairs, and into the kitchen where my mother assumed I just hadn't shut the enclosure door properly and went to put him back. Only to find me out cold on the ground. He's always been abnormally attached to me and I'd freakishly smart for a lizard. I've taught him simple tricks, he can use puzzle toys. He also knows the routes to two of my friends, the vet, and the pet store I get my feeders. You can see his head turning to the next turn in the route from his perch. It's kinda funny cuz I'll sometimes take a wrong turn deliberately and he turns to look at me with angry face.

Dogs may be loyal but Cats are Magic!!

The family wolf/German shepherd named "Bear" jumped between me and my uncle (her owner!) when I was a small child and he was tickle-attacking me. Bear thought he was really hurting me, so she jumped between us. Standing in a guard-stance with her back to me, she growled at my uncle and wouldn't let him near me until she was satisfied that all was well. She was a damn good dog!

@Aaron Burdon Aw.. sounds like a beautiful relationship. I'm glad you had your own personal guardian. That's sweet.

I had taken in a stray long haired calico. When she was about a year old she started climbing in bed with me and kneading a specific spot in my right lower abdomen and purring at night then laying like a baby on my arm after 30- 60 min of this every night. For a bit I thought she was comforting herself. But later found out that where she was kneading was a cyst the size of a grapefruit on my ovary that had twisted and grown into my right kidney.

My great uncle lives on a ranch and has a nice pup named Tex. The dog got bitten by a rattler when he was little, and ever since then he has actively seeked out and hunted rattlers. He's saved my uncle's skin plenty of times by getting rid of rattlers that had gotten too close to the house.

I had a beautiful white cat with big blue eyes. You would think such a powderpuff of a cat would be easily intimidated, not Heather! I was sitting in my living room. I had left the back door open. Two enormous dogs came in my house. Heather immediately jumped into action. She started screeching with teeth and claws bared. She drove those two great big dogs out of my house! They did not dare come back either! 😼😎

I recently put my solid white cat with blue eyes down for health reasons. Had him for 13yrs…it was tough to do since he had gotten me thru my toughest times, but I couldn’t keep him alive in pain for my own selfish reasons. When I was a little girl I said I was gonna have a white cat with blue eyes when I got my own home, it was my dream cat. My neighbor didn’t know this but walked in with one (only 2 weeks old) and the kitten never left my home…it had been abandoned. We bottle fed him and kept him on a low heating pad till able to eat on his own.

Gotta love a Cat that wins the Dog hero award. That one was my favorite story. God bless the animals. I had an exotic bird that saved me from getting robbed. Money on a table, was visible from the door, which was left open by would be burglar. Tweety Pea would always fly to the Hairport (my hair) whenever I came home. I can imagine that when the burglar came in, tweety wanted to land at the hairport.

I have a cute tiny white Morkie (Maltese/Yorkie) named Dixie. She weighs 6 pounds dripping wet. 😊 I was in the master bathroom with the door open when a heater sparked a fire in an outlet in the living room. Instead of coming to warn me who was wide awake, Dixie ran to my Son’s room where he and his family were sleeping. She started barking and pawing at their door trying to wake them up and warn them of the danger!! Big dogs are not the only smart dogs. BTW, the fire went out immediately when the breaker was tripped. Thank the Lord above 🙏

I'm not a cat person but this 1st video I have watched a million times and it's my favorite. That cat is identifying as a dog.

Friends of ours had a miniature schnauzer. Anytime he had the chance he'd scratch at her left breast. She 'listened' to him and went for a mammogram. Sure enough she had an aggressive form of breast cancer. He passed away shortly after from old age; they have an oil painting of him up in their home 🩵

I was home alone,my husband and son went out, a neighbor, that we knew very well, was entering through the side door, my cat grew 20 times bigger than she normally did, jumped on the kitchen table and hissed something awful, I’ve never heard her do that before, I tore that man a new one, he apologized and tried saying he was just checking on our place, right….by literally trying to walk right into my house, he didn’t think anyone was home,we didn’t call the police, because where he was living, they forced him out of the cul-de-sac that night, thank you to my cat boots she’s in kitty heaven now & extremely missed, ,,thank you ever so much for the upload 👍🏻👍🏻my favorite all-time ever, is the cat saving her little friend from being mauled by a savage dog, she looked like a bobcat whilst attacking, it reminded me of what my cat looked like that night✌🏻💕

One day I was working on my storm shelter with a friend on my undeveloped property. My dog "Lino" German Shepherd / Husky was barking (in a strange way of bark) when my friend notices a copper head snake coiled behind my truck. Lino stayed away from him about 4 or 5 feet and barking until we noticed the strange appearance. Thank you Lino, you just told us not to go "that way" and saved our lives.

I was visiting my folks who live in a rural area. We've got a lot of venomous snakes in Texas. They had a small cabin out back for guests and I was staying in there. As I was tinkering around, their dog Sheena, a somewhat medium/small Sheltie mix was following me around. Although there was tall grass in the surrounding area, around the cabin it was mowed relatively short. Sheena is on the porch, I'm just inside the screen door. I'd been walking around the place not concerned about snakes much. She starts barking, which she often did at sounds in the surrounding area. I'm like "there she goes again, but let me check". I look through the screen door and thought it was odd she was looking down and barking. I go out and look and don't see anything. I'm like "you goofball dog!" Then, I look closer at the short grass and see something sticking out a bit. Well, it was a four foot rattlesnake, biggest I'd ever encountered, outstretched in the grass. Hardly visible except for that rattle sticking up. I would have probably not have seen it and my have walked in that area had the dog not alerted me

Absolutely beautiful. I'm in tears over the love and bond people and animals can have

I ran to the comment section knowing there would be awesome stories and you guys did not disappoint ❤

Humans are so lucky to have cats and dogs as companions. They all deserve more than humans currently give them. Angels on earth!

We have a Bombay, and he is very affectionate. We brought him home as a stray kitten. He has truly shown us his love ❤️ and he doesn't trust anyone else!

That cat knew immediately that she had to protect her little buddy. Very happy she got awarded for her bravery in saving him!

My dog protected someone walking her - a guy jumped out to grab the person, my dog reacted immediately barely missed taking the guy down (leash restricted the hit, but the guy ran off). My dog is an adopted dog, sweet as can be, but she don't mess around!

My two cats; Bootsie and Ginger Girl saved my life in 2008. I had returned from a night driving cab and climbed the stairs to my Apt. I reached the top and felt overly tired, I sat down on the landing after opening the door, I had laid back and Bootsie jumped on my chest.

I have a rescue dog that was rescued from a violent household. I won't mention the race of her previous owners because that has nothing to do with them being violent, but every time anyone comes anywhere near me of that race or someone she thinks is bad she runs rings around them barking and stopping them from coming near me. If they don't move she will start snapping at them until they retreat. She has never actually bitten anyone but she is fiercely protective of my husband and I. There is nothing like the love of a good animal. If you treat them well, they will forever love you but if you hurt them you can't be surprised when they attack. She is a staffy and the most gentle soul at all other times.

I had to give up my 2 dogs after my husband died due to my drug addiction. I will never forgive myself, I have been clean 6yrs now. I think about them everyday and can only hope they found good homes and lived happy lives. I know they were devastated just as my son and I. I am so sorry my beautiful boys, I have missed you everyday. I carry you in my heart my pit babies. 💔

Me and my ex husband rescued a puppy from the dumpster. Someone had left her there and she was starving and dehydrated and covered in ants. I picked her up and started getting the ants off of her and getting ant bit myself several times. I took dog home, got her feed and watered..she was doing great. About a month later, i was out of town for a doctor appointment and my ex was at our property, cleaning up to get ready to move our mobile home on the property. My ex said the puppy started barking and standing in front of him and he looked down at his feet and there was a timber rattle snake curled up ready to strike. Instead of biting him, the snake bit the puppy and a few minutes later, the puppy died. If it had not been for the puppy, my ex would have gotten bit and probably died because he had no way to get to hospital and by the time he could have gotten to his phone, he probably would have died. We saved the puppy's life and she thanked us by saving my ex's life. God sends angels in different forms to protect us.

I was walking on a high mountain near the top when I rounded the trail a massive cliff opened up.. I was suddenly looking at a thousand feet of air to the ground. It made me dizzy and I started to fall towards the cliff. Didn't know that was a thing, I had nothing to grab there were no bushes or anything. At the moment of balance where there is no turning back my dog Sammy who I had on a leach ran up a very steep hill as hard as she could and it pulled me back. She lived 13 years, thanks Sammy ❤ couldn't imagine a world without dogs teaching us what unconditional love truly means.

My dog spaz was my hero. I had fallen on my back porch and couldn't get up. Everyone was upstairs so i just kept screaming for help until hopefully someone would hear me it was winter time to so i was getting pretty cold. Well after 10 mins of yelling for help my dog spaz came to the back door. I said go get daddy spaz mama needs help. So he ran to the bottom of the stairs just kept barking, and barking. Finally my husband came down to see why he was barking, so my dog led him to the back door and my husband helped me up. Spaz was so excited he knew he was a good boy helping his mama out. He got steak for dinner the next night. R. I. P spaz mama loves and misses her big furry hero.

My ex-husband was a domestically violent man. Whenever he would hit me or threaten to, my Lhasa apso would growl, get between us, and bite his ankles. My ex would kick him, sometimes across the room, but my lhasa would never stop protecting me until the police came. Another time, my daughter came home with alcohol intoxication from drinking too much. I didnt know it, but she was passed out in her room on the floor. My Lhasa wouldn't leave me alone and kept running up and down the stairs, back and forth to her room to the front door when I got home from work that night. I came to understand that he wanted for me to follow him. I was able to get her to the emergency room and she had to be hospitalized. She recovered, but I was so grateful to my Lhasa for saving her.

Used to ride horses as a child at a local stables, one day (I was about 6 or 7) I was taking the horse I rode down to its stable and had to go behind a few other horses in a tight space to get there. I was nervous to go behind a particularly big shire horse but the owner of the stables told me I'd be fine as they were used to people, I let the horse know I was going behind him tapping him on the back and talking to him...freak incident and he kicked with both feet one hit my eye and the other got my ribs I fell back and was about to crack my head on a brick wall when the horse I had been riding jumped behind me so I fell onto his soft stomach instead.

In the first video, that was not a lab/chow mix. I've owned and been around both breeds. They look nothing like this pittie mix (No, not all attack and not all pits are bad.

When I was 4 or 5 years old my family went to go ice fishing with a family friend who had an ice shanty on a lake. It had snowed recently and so you couldn't tell where previously drilled holes where. Well I ended up stepping on the snow that had covered over a recent hole and I fell under the ice. I didn't know how to swim at the time, let alone did I know how to resurface after falling into an open ice fishing hole. Well my dog lunged forward and stuck her head in the hole and grabbed the hood of my parka started pulling me up while trying to bark and growl with her mouth full. My dad saw her and grabbed the hood and pulled me out. If it had been just a second or two later I would have been lost under the snow covered lake ice and died. Well we went right back to the truck and mom stripped off my wet clothes and wrapped me in her parka and we went back home and I had a hot shower and hot chocolate. The dog (Lady) got a plate of people food.

My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes that day was in coma for 3 days. Life flighted to Children's hospital and woke up 3 days later. Thank God she's ok no damage to brain she's just on 6 shots a day now. She's going on 3 yrs of being type 1 on March 16.

Didn't happen to me, but my sister. She was walking our dog Dolly and while she was stopped talking to a friendly neighbor who was in his truck, a lady opened her door and her dog ran out and started running to my sister and our dog. Our dog immediately got defensive and bit the other dog, the owner of the offending dog eventually caught up and grabbed up her dog (it was a smaller dog). The lady had the audacity to yell at my sister for our dog biting hers, to which the guy in the truck yelled at the lady saying "well maybe you should keep your dog on a leash!" Dolly was always really protective and defensive of her babies, my brother, sister and I were her babies.
