English Bulldog who defied his poor swimming skill to swim deep out into a lake and rescue a burlap sack containing 6 abandoned kittens!
English Bulldogs are notoriously bad swimmers. With a giant head and chest compared to a lighter tail end, they have a tendency to go bottoms up in the water. So this doggy is EXTRA brave.
Napoleon, an obedient and well behaved two year old white English Bulldog in Michigan abruptly left his master's side yesterday and raced out across a road and into a nearby lake.
Napoleon's owner met him in the driveway as the bulldog came back up out of the lake dragging something in his mouth. It looked like a burlap sack, and Napoleon appeared determined to drag it up from the shore and back to his master's side.
It was then that Napoleon's owner heard the meowing and realized that there were abandoned kittens inside the bag! Six kittens in total, although two of them didn't survive and the remaining four were in bad shape. Napoleon's mom cared for the survivor's for the next two weeks until they could be taken in to the city pet adoption center and found new homes.
Napoleon got a much deserved hero's welcome at the adoption center as crowds gathered to praise the brave bulldog and cuddle the rescued kittens.
Maya the pitbull, courageously saved her owner from a vicious male attacker
You don't get to be the 2008 Dog of the Year for nothing, and this pooch is no exception. Maya took home this year's honors for courageously saving Angela Marcelino, her owner, from a vicious male attacker. The pitbull's act of bravery earned some high praise from the Animal Miracle foundation, who was happy to report that "the pitbull breed can be hero dogs just like any other breed."
Half-Breed Wolf Dog Hero Rescues Elderly Owners From Snowstorm
Shana, a half wolf dog/half German shepard who saved an elderly couple from a treacherous snow storm. When Shana found Norman and Eve trapped by snow, she went to work, diligently digging out a tunnel through which she would pull the couple back to the safety of their home. Katrina saved a drowning man...
Hurricane Katrina was a miserable occurance for everyone down south, but inspiring stories of heroism have helped give victims something to smile about. That's certainly the case with Katrina, the ironically named black labrador who saved a drowning man before rising flood waters claimed his life. The dog, who was later rescued herself by rescue teams, was honored at that year's Genesis Awards with a standing ovation.Dachshund goes for help after owner collapses By Associated Press, Aug 9, 2010

| Missy is held by her thankful owner after she went for help after a fall. |
YAMHILL, Ore. (AP) – A small dog who refused to return home until a neighbor followed her helped rescue her owner after he collapsed at home following heart surgery.
Charles Mitchell said he was working in his yard last week in the Oregon wine country town of Yamhill when an 11-year-old Dachshund named Missy scampered up and refused to leave.
Mitchell told the dog to go home, but she refused. When he decided to follow her across the street to investigate, he found his neighbor – Charlie Burdon – had collapsed inside his home.
Burdon had suffered an attack of vertigo and is recovering. However, Burdon and Mitchell – who have known each other for years – both say Missy is their hero.
The dog who thinks he's a lion!
It's not every day that a dog saves its family from armed pirates at sea, but amazingly, that's exactly what Kankuntu did. When Peter Lee found himself about to be hijacked on his 41 foot yacht by armed pursuers, the dog (who "thinks he's a lion") leapt right into action, furiously attacking the gunmen until one of them shot and stabbed the pooch between his shoulder blades. Amazingly, the dog was nursed back to the health and the family continued with their voyage.

Lifesaving Dog, Nyla (a mix breed) Helps a Family in Crisis!
Sheila had had Nyla since she was a puppy. When Nyla had puppies, Sheila's husband had severely harmed the puppies by throwing them against a wall. And he didn’t hesitate to kick Nyla whenever he felt like it. But Sheila had always loved Nyla as her own kid........
Nyla is a dog that risked her own life to save her human owner from the threat of fire. When Sheila found herself surrounded by smoke and flames, unable to see in front of her, Nyla courageously buided her toward a nearby door, barking whenever Sheila lost track of her. While her home and belongings were destroyed, Sheila was guided to safety, noting that "Nyla could have left anytime. Instead, she chose to stay and risk her own life and face death to save me."
Sheila's home and belongings were destroyed in the fire. But the fire was nothing compared to the violence of her abusive husband which Sheila had been living with for years in Ohio. Now, she was finally ready to take her kids and make the courageous break. However, the first woman’s shelter she visited in Florida – the state where her brother lives - wouldn’t accept Nyla ..........

A Beagle who literally bit "911" ...
In a nearly unbelievably story titled "Dog Makes Cell Phone Call to Save Owner's Life", readers learn about Belle, a beagle who literally bit "911" into Kevin Weaver's cell phone after the diabetic man collapsed from a seizure. Said Weaver, "there's no doubt in my mind that I'd be dead if I didn't have Belle", who became the first canine to win VITA's Wireless Samaritan Award. Evidently, the pooch had been trained to bite down on the phone's keypad in the event of an emergency!
