Animals make this world a better place and these unbelievable stories will prove you that. Sometimes they are more human than humans. Check out these stories of animals that saved people’s lives!

Jeff the brave Stafford-shire Terrier

You don’t mess with an eastern brown snake, which is famous for being the world’s second-most venomous land snake. Somehow a 1-year-old Stafford-shire Terrier named Jeff on the Gold Coast of Australia just happened to know that.

The snake almost killed Jeff, but the dog ended up killing the snake instead in the vegetable garden outside of Jeff’s family’s home, which is where their three children often play.

The family found Jeff just staying there with the snake beside him—it took three anti-venom shots from a vet to keep Jeff alive. Just one shot of venom from an Eastern Brown snake is enough to “take out 16 healthy adults.”

Jambo the remarkable gorilla parent

Jambo is a silver-backed gorilla from the Jersey Zoo. After a child fell into his pen, Jambo immediately came to his rescue, caressing his back as if to tell him that everything will be fine.

He did not only move by his side to protect him from the aggressiveness of his fellow companions, but when the little boy woke up and began to cry, Jambo led his counterparts away to allow the rescuers to intervene. Congratulations Jambo, you have earned your place in our top lifesaving animals.

Toby the doctor Golden Retriever

Good old Toby had never studied medicine, however, he managed to perform the Heimlich maneuver. His mistress was choking to death with a piece of apple stuck in her throat, Toby did not hesitate and pressed her firmly on her chest which eventually dislodged the piece of apple killer.

Legend has it that once his mistress could breathe, our dear Toby never stopped licking the face of his lucky mistress.

Three guardian lions

This story takes place in 2012, a young African girl was kidnapped by 7 men and left as if dead in the forest because she refused to marry. The police conducted a search to find the young lady and after a day of intense searching, they found her: the young woman was protected by three lions standing guard, as if they were guardian dogs.

In view of the positive out-turn, our three Savannah kings left as if they had fulfilled their mission.

The stunning elephant

Amber Mason owes her survival to the generosity and liveliness of a 4-year-old elephant. During the terrible 2004 Tsunami that ravaged Indonesia’s coastline, when the wave struck, the elephant took Amber on his back and ran to higher ground.

When the wave crashed on them with all its power, the elephant turned his back to create a wall to protect the fortunate Amber Mason.

Mandy the maternal goat

For Noel Osborne, a lifetime farmer, it’s only a normal day that begins, he does his daily work until an unfortunate accident throws him into a manure pile and breaks his hip.

Immobilized and way too far away for anyone to hear his calls for help, his goat Mandy took care of him for 5 whole days, she lay down on him to keep him warm, she even allowed Osborne to feed on his milk so that he could survive. This is one of the most unbelievable animals that saved people’s lives.

Mila the savior beluga

Yang Yun was taking part in a banal apnea competition in a beluga whale pond in China. Everything seemed to go well until she realized that her legs were no longer obeying her.

Then Mila came out of nowhere to rescue her, she grabbed her leg with her jawbone and took care of bringing her back to the surface so that she could breathe.

Lefty the personal bodyguard

Four burglars broke into a house, very determined, they did not hesitate to shoot the owner of the premises who would certainly have died if Lefty hadn’t thrown himself on him to protect him from the impact of the bullet.

This shadow hero suffered a very serious injury and unfortunately had to have one leg amputated because of human stupidity. But he is alive and saved his master from a certain death.

William the alert parrot

Willie, as he is nicknamed in this small family, allowed the rescue of little Hannah, aged only two, who was choking. We could tell you what happened in detail, but we find it more pertinent to quote the babysitter’s testimony:

“While I was in the bathroom, Willie started screaming and flapping his wings like I had never heard before. It was when he screamed “mommy baby” that I got worried and walked out. That’s when I saw Hannah with a blue face.”

Filippo the friendly dolphin

A teenage boy was on his dad’s boat off Manfredonia in southeastern Italy when he fell into the choppy waves and started drowning. A friendly dolphin there named Filippo, a popular tourist attraction in the area after becoming separated from its school of dolphins, swam over and pushed the boy up out of the water.

The boy said when he realized what was happening, he grabbed onto Filippo, who then got close enough to the boat for the boy’s dad to grab him.
