Description
Even readers who are not pet lovers will marvel at the heroics shown by the animals described in these ten stories. Each story recounts a true and actual event in which an animal saves the life of a human being, and in some cases even risks its own life to do so. Perhaps familiar — but no less riveting — are the few stories in which a dog rescues a neighbor in the middle of a snowstorm, or another helps his owners escape from a house on fire. But how about a hamster saving an entire family? Or a cow fighting for the life of an injured farmer? There's a story of a gorilla rescuing a little boy in a Chicago zoo and another of a dolphin swimming to the aid of a woman who nearly drowns off the coast of Florida.
