9. Porpoises saved the famous Dutchman
Richard Wayne Van Dyke, who starred in the movie Mary Poppins, once fell asleep while surfing. Yes, I fell asleep on a surfboard: it sounds as wild as it looks. Then he was 84 years old. And what seemed like innocent entertainment on a local beach was one of the most significant events in his life.
Dyke fell asleep right on the board, and when he woke up, he realized that he was so carried away that there was no land on the horizon. Suddenly he saw fins that cut through the expanse of water around his board. “These are sharks, I'm done with it, ” thought Richard. But it was all just guinea pigs who literally took his board in tow and pushed it to the shore. The actor spoke about the incident in "A Very Late Show with Craig Ferguson" and made it clear that he was not joking.

7. Kangaroo Lulu
Lulu was a baby kangaroo when the Richards family rescued her from the bag of her mother, who died. The animal was found on farmland in Victoria. Further life was such that Lulu was given a chance to repay the debt to the family of saviors.
When Lena Richards was hit by a splinter branch from his own tree, he fell unconscious. Lulu saw this and began to yell violently to get attention. The situation was complicated by the fact that the scene of the incident was several hundred meters from the house where the rest of the family was. If you don't know, a kangaroo scream sounds just like a dog barking.
The screams of Lulu saved the life of the farmer. A few minutes later, relatives responded to the cry and quickly delivered the man to the hospital.

6. Dolphins once again save divers
There are many stories where dolphins have proven that they are hardly inferior in quick wits to people. But this case can be entered in textbooks.
A group of 12 divers from different countries rested on the Red Sea and decided to dive a little. At first, everything went well: they managed to see a hammerhead shark and several gray reef sharks. They dived from Al Ahawain at 9am, but soon lost contact with their Egyptian submarine. They lost their course due to the strong current so much that even observation aircraft and boats could not detect them. Presumably, the surface marker buoy was invisible due to the Sun and reflection on the water.
When rescuers began to lose hope, the most unexpected creatures came to the aid of divers - dolphins. Animals drove a rescue boat in the right direction. The crew of the rescue boat told the divers that dolphins were jumping through the front of the boat in the direction in which the lost group of divers was. “12 lost” also heard dolphins and felt that their actions attracted the attention of a rescue boat. As a result, dolphins saved 12 lives.

When Amy Jung and her son arrived at the feline center, they could not even think that they would fall in love with two of his guests. Fluffy Pudding and his friend Wimsey were immediately taken home. Perhaps this was the best decision for the whole family life.
Amy, who has had diabetes since childhood, suffered a seizure in her sleep. When Pudding saw this, he sat on Amy's chest, pushing and pinching her face until she woke up. Then the woman tried to call her son for help, but she could not scream loudly. Pudding ran into Ethan's room, jumped abruptly onto his bed and began to wake the boy. So, thanks to the cat, the woman managed to be taken to the hospital.
After the incident, Pudding was registered as an “Honorary Therapist, ” who meows whenever Jung's sugar level drops. Cats are known to have very developed instincts.
4. Firefighter Parrot
A factory worker, Andrew Hardick, slept after completing his third shift at a factory in Aville, Indiana. When a fire broke out under his house, Hardik did not even notice it. The only one who felt the danger was his parrot Dylan. He began to twitter loudly to wake the master. Fortunately, the bird got what it wants: Andrew woke up and saw what was happening.
If not for the parrot, then both residents of the apartment died. Unfortunately, Hardik's house was completely destroyed in a fire.
Emergency crews later said that if it had not been for the bird, everything could have ended very tragically.
3. Dog and bear fight
But not all stories end well. A 14-year-old English dog named Pete gave her life saving a man. The dog, along with the owner and other puppies, went hiking in the forests of New Jersey. During the trip, the black bear saw uninvited guests and attacked them. To save the owner from the clutches of a bear, Pete entered into an unequal battle with a clubfoot.
As soon as the mess started, the man tied the rest of the puppies to a tree and rushed to help Pete. They managed to scare away the bear, but the dog was already seriously wounded. He was taken to a hospital, where doctors made a tragic diagnosis: even if the dog undergoes all operations on the spine, he will no longer be able to walk. Then the owners decided to euthanize the dog. The act is largely controversial, given what Pete did for them … And what would you do in such a situation?
2. The elephant saves the girl from the tsunami
The world knows many stories during the massive tsunami of 2004 in Phuket, both tragic and happy. But few know the story of a 4-year-old elephant Ning Nonong and an 8-year-old girl.
Amber Owen, an English girl who was then eight years old, was on holiday in Phuket, Thailand, and rode on the back of an elephant when the tsunami started. On that day, in the morning, the elephant sensed something was amiss and refused to go to the sea. When the first wave hit the beach, Ning Nong rushed deep into the island as fast as she could. The elephant stopped near a small wall and allowed Amber to drop only when the girl's mother came. They managed to get to the hotel room before another huge wave hit the coast. Fortunately, mom and girl remained alive, as did Ning Nong.
