RESCUES

Priscilla the pig of Houston, Texas rescued an 11-year-old boy from drowning. Priscilla spotted Anthony Melton swimming in Lake Somerville and noticed he was having trouble. She swam out to him, used her snout to keep his head above water until he could hold on to her collar, and then dragged him to shore.

Carletta the cow saved her owner, Bruno Cipriano of Tuscany in when she charged at a boar that was about to attack him and butted it with her horns.

Bracken the Collie saved his owner, Ian Elliot, when he was chopping down trees on his Canadian farm and a pine tree crashed on to him breaking his back. Bracken lay across him to maintain his body temperature. When Bracken heard voices in the distance, he ran to the men and led them back to his injured master.

A school of dolphins saved Adam Maguire when he was surfing near Sydney and was attacked by a shark. As the shark moved in for the kill it was distracted by a school of dolphins thrashing around in the water. To prevent the shark reaching Maguire, then dolphins then swam around him in circles until his friends had managed to rescue him.
