10.The Chihuahua who saved a baby from a rattlesnake

9.The Dog who saved its owner with the Heimlich Maneuver
When Debbie Parkhurst, 45, was home alone and choked on an apple, Parkhurst said she then began beating her chest, an action that might have attracted Toby's attention. Toby's jumping apparently managed to dislodge the apple from Parkhurst's windpipe.
“As soon as I started breathing, he stopped and began licking my face, as if to keep me from passing out,” she said.
8.Babu the Shih Tzu saved his owner from the 2011 tsunami in Japan
Twelve-year-old Babu became restless according to his now-85-year-old human, Tami Akanuma, insisting they go on a walk.
When she opened the door, the dog pulled toward a hill, the opposite direction of where they usually would walk. Tami found it odd and followed suit as the dog rushed her up the hill. When she looked back, she witnessed the tsunami that had just taken over her town, destroying everything including her home.
7.LuLu, the potbellied pig who saved her human’s life.
When Jo Ann Altsman suffered a heart attack while vacationing in the Pennsylvania woods, LuLu, her housebroken potbellied pig sprung into action.
After crying for a moment, LuLu broke through the gate of the mobile home they were in and ran toward the road. When a car would approach, the pig would walk into the road and lie down. Each time the car didn’t stop, the pig ran back to check on her human and then back to the road.
Eventually, a motorcyclist stopped and followed the pig to Jo Ann, where he was able to use his phone to call 911. What a brave piggie!
6.This beluga who saved a diver in a competition gone wrong
Yang Yun entered a competition to hold her breath for as long as possible at the bottom of a pool with beluga whales.
When Yang Yun decided she was done and went toward the surface, her legs froze, paralyzed from the arctic temperatures. Out of air and unable to move, she lost all hope until one of the whales grabbed her leg and lifted her toward the surface.
5.The Female gorilla who saved a 3-year-old boy from being harmed
Binti Jua, an 8-year-old female gorilla, rescued a three-year- old boy after he fell into the primate enclosure at Brookfield Zoao, Illinois.
The boy, climbed over a box on top of a 3.5ft railing and fell 18ft on to the concrete floor of the enclosure which housed seven gorillas.
Binti Jua, who was carrying her own infant on her back, cradled the boy in her arms and took him to a door where zoo keepers and paramedics could attend him.
4.Three lions saved an abducted Ethiopian girl.
In 2005, a 12-year-old girl was abducted and beaten by seven men attempting to force her into marriage with one of them. The girl was missing for a week when she was found guarded by three lions.
Policemen say that the lions “stood guard until we found her and then they just left her like a gift and went back into the forest.” If it weren’t for these lions, the girl’s fate most likely would have been far worse.
3.Kabang saved two girls from being hit by a motorcycle.
After pushing her human’s daughter and niece out of the way of a speeding motorcyclist, Kabang suffered extensive injuries.
Luckily, her story touched people around the world and she was able to go to the United States to undergo her lifesaving surgeries.
2.Lefty, the pit bull who took a bullet for his owners during a home invasion.
During the night, Lefty’s family’s home was broken into by four armed robbers. When one of the robbers pointed a firearm at the father, Lefty leaped and took the bullet instead.
The shot left her with a shattered right shoulder and a big injury on her leg. She was rushed to a nearby veterinary hospital, where surgeons were able to get to work and it was ultimately decided they would need to amputate her leg.
The costs of such surgery are overwhelming — so the clinic took to Facebook to tell Lefty’s story and gather donations to save her life. Luckily, the outpouring was tremendous, and this heroic pup was given the surgery she needed.
1.The Dog who saved a boy from a house fire in Mexico
This dog saved his 4-year-old boy master from certain death as the family's humble, wooden shack burned to ashes.
Little Ivan Saul was sound asleep and would have never woken up had it not been for the non-stop barking of his new friend “Rosco” which had wakened him from his peaceful slumber and allowed him the opportunity to run, unharmed, from the flame engulfed home.
The dog had been burned in more than 30% of his body before being rescued himself by firefighters, but fortunately survived.
