Heroic Dogs

Trained dogs save lives, but once in a while the dogs put into practice their skills when they are not needed.

Take for example this life guard dog. He saw an unattended child in the water and thought the kid was in distress. Naturally, the pet jumped into action to saved the kid. The problem was the child didn’t need to be rescued.

The underage swimmer had a life jacket on and his parents were nearby watching him, but the rescue dog thought it would be best for the child to be out of the water.

Watch the funny rescue.

Hades, a pit bull from Oregon City, Oregon, saved his young owner Jesse-Cole Shaver after a swarm of bees stung him more than 20 times.

On Sunday, August 24, 2014, Kye, a three-year-old German shepherd K-9 officer for the Oklahoma City Police Department was killed in the line of duty when chasing down a burglary suspect. The dog was put to rest with full honors four days later, and hundreds of police officers and animals lovers were present to show their respect for the four-legged officer.
