21 awesome animals that saved human lives

by RICK MORTON

Not every dog is a Lassie. Not every kangaroo is a criminal detective capable of dismantling complex, lawless plots like Skippy.

But whoa up there, doubters. Animals can and do save lives. Just ask Oreo the fire-warden cat or LuLu the melodramatic, literally-stop-the-traffic Vietnamese pot-bellied pig who drew attention to its owners heart attack.

Oh, you want more? You only had to ask.

Do you have any stories to add to the list? How have animals helped you?
