Vietnamese pig named Lulu 
Lulu the Pig became famous on the Internet in 1998. Lulu became a star after saving the life of her owner, who could have died if the pig had not been nearby. Lulu's owner Joanne's husband was fishing when she had a heart attack. The woman was home alone when it happened. She fell to the floor and her dog, an American Eskimo dog, began to bark heart-rendingly, but this did not help, and no one came to help. However, Lulu saw the hostess on the floor, ran out of the house and lay down on the road. Many cars simply drove around it, but one car stopped. Luna took the driver into the house. Seeing Joanne on the floor, the driver immediately called for help, and Joanne was rescued. Who would have thought! The pig saved the man. It was worth scouring the internet for this.

The girl's mother, Samantha, was told that the baby elephant had died, but then she found them both alive. No, I'm not crying, I swear!
A whale saved a marine biologist from a tiger shark 
One of the most amazing cases of an animal saving a person occurred in 2018. The whale rescued a marine biologist named Nan Houser. During one of her dives in the South Pacific Ocean, Houser encountered a huge humpback whale. The giant mammal seemed to be trying to push the biologist away with its muzzle or, on the contrary, to shove it under its fin. Frightened for her life, the woman climbed onto the boat, but as soon as she did, another surprise awaited her - there was another whale nearby, which was trying to scare away the shark with its tail! It turns out that the whale was trying to protect Nan from the shark and literally push her out of the water.
I would be very scared if I were her. What a brave woman!

In September 2006, poor Kevin jumped off a bridge. Due to the impact with the water, Kevin's spine and many bones were broken. All Kevin could hope to do was wait until he was at the bottom.

A stray cat saved a freezing child from death 
This is a memorable story about a stray cat Masha, who saved a freezing abandoned child. This story happened several years ago when a stray cat saw a naked crying child near a garbage disposal. The baby would have frozen to death if not for the cat that lay down next to him. The cat clung to the child, warming him, and then began to meow loudly, as if calling someone for help. The neighbors thought that the cat had been attacked by dogs, but then the resident of the entrance went to see what had happened and discovered an abandoned child. The woman adopted the cat and named her Masha.
Parrot William 
You've heard about animals that saved people, but what if I told you that birds can do this too? Yes Yes. This is the story of a parrot named William who saved a little girl. Well, William was having breakfast with his owner Megan Howard and her little daughter Hannah, Megan left the room and Hannah was left alone, at that moment the girl choked on her food. William felt that something was wrong and cried out the words “Mom” and “Baby.” Megan, hearing the parrot, quickly returned to the room and saved the baby using the Heimlich maneuver. For his courageous actions, William was awarded the Order of the Red Cross as a rescue animal. I know it means a lot to his owners, but for a parrot...maybe a cracker would be enough?
Cher Ami, the homing pigeon that saved the lives of hundreds of people 
Have you ever heard of an animal receiving a medal for valor? Well, our next hero is the homing pigeon Cher Ami, who served in World War I and saved the lives of hundreds of soldiers in 1916. The dove delivered important messages right under enemy fire. During the Battle of Verdun, the bird delivered 12 important messages that helped save the lives of hundreds of people. In the end, the brave bird was wounded at the Battle of Argonne in 1918, but still managed to deliver the message to Verdun. Cher Ami died of her wounds on June 13, 1919, and was awarded the Military Cross Medal of Honor, a medal for courage in the face of duty. Now the stuffed Cher Ami can be seen in the National Museum of American History.
History of Harambe 
At number 1 is the tragic and controversial story of Harambe, the 17-year-old gorilla at the Cincinnati Zoo. On May 28, 2016, a 3-year-old boy fell into a gorilla enclosure. The boy fell from a height of 4.5 meters into a ditch with water. The gorilla pulled the boy out, and as you can see in this footage, Harmbe was not aggressive for the next 5-10 minutes. The monkey pulled out the child and laid him on a dry surface. And although the boy, apparently, was not injured and was not in danger, zoo workers decided to shoot the animal. Harambe was killed. Harambe's story is proof that people often misunderstand the intentions of animals.
