A boy did not talk for around four months. His parents decided to give him a pet cockatiel. At night, the bird slept in a cage by his bed. During the day it would sit perched on his shoulder. He started to talk to the bird, and two months after receiving his pet, he started talking with people.
Boys from the age of 7 to 18 years were sent to a certain boys home by court order. Some had never had a real home, some were abused by parents, some were mentally retarded, and others were sent by state reformatories. This home had one other special member- a cat named Tiger. This cat helped transform once very wild & uncontrollable youths into calm & trusting boys.
It's unbelievable that a cat can do this thing.

A tired-looking dog wandered into the yard. I could tell from his collar and well-fed belly that he had a home.
He followed me into the house, down the hall, and fell asleep in a corner.
An hour later, he went to the door, and I let him out.
The next day he was back, resumed his position in the hall, and slept for an hour. This continued for several weeks.
Curious, I pinned a note to his collar: “Every afternoon your dog comes to my house for a nap.”
The next day he arrived with a different note pinned to his collar:“He lives in a home with five children—he’s trying to catch up on his sleep. Can I come with him tomorrow?”

Dog dials 911 when owner has seizure
“Man’s best friend” doesn’t go far enough for Buddy — a German shepherd who remembered his training and saved his owner’s life by calling 911 when the man had a seizure. And it’s not the first time Buddy has been there for owner Joe Stalnaker, a police officer said Sunday.
On a recording of the 911 call Wednesday, Buddy is heard whimpering and barking after the dispatcher answers and repeatedly asks if the caller needs help. “Hello, this is 911. Hello ... Can you hear me? Is there somebody there you can give the phone to,” says the dispatcher, Chris Trott.
Police were sent to Stalnaker’s home, and after about three minutes Buddy is heard barking loudly when the officers arrived.
Scottsdale police Sgt. Mark Clark said Stalnaker spent two days in a hospital and recovered from the seizure. “It’s pretty incredible,” Clark said. “Even the veteran dispatchers — they haven’t heard of anything like this.”

My story begins not long after I was born. In fact it was two days after I was born that I met my new owner. For the first seven weeks of my life he would come to
visit me once a week. On the 8th week he took me to my new home.
I fit in well at my new home and there was just me and my owner. He was alone
because he had lost his wife to cancer about 3 weeks before I was born. He
needed a companion and thats where and why I fit in.
I have been to school and passed all of my tests. My owners children all have
their own dogs and when we visit them I get to play with my pals. I had an accident
on 1 April this year while playing in the house. I cut my rear left leg on a fireplace
in the living room while running. My owner took me to my Vet. and I didn't just cut
my leg, I cut all the tendons also. My Vet sowed everything back together and put
a cast on my leg.
On my last visit to my Vets he told my owner that everything had healed but I was
to still take it easy for awhile. I had my first birthday last month on the same day
my Vet. said I was OK.
My owner named me Hope because he needed hope at this time last year. We
are the best of friends and he knows that he will always have Hope. Thats my job
and I have done well so far. Well it's about my play time in my back yard so remember, Have Fath, Hope is Here.
By all accounts Mike had a wonderful life. He had a loving family and was successful in his career. Then one day his life was turned upside down. He had a major heart attack. His life was saved but with frequent painful angina attacks, Mike's life was changed forever. He could not return to work. He couldn't support his family in the way he had been accustomed. He lost his zest for living...and on several occasions contemplated suicide.
Through the advice of a therapist, Mike reluctantly looked to bring a new dog into his life. He and his wife knew they found the perfect dog, when they came upon Dakota - who also had survived a heart ailment. With Dakota at his side, Mike was motivated to re-engage in the pleasures of life and was inspired to take more frequent and longer walks to help regain his strength.
While Mike continued to have painful angina attacks Dakota was always at Mike's side to comfort him. Then something miraculously happened. Dakota began sensing on-coming angina attacks, and began warning Mike before the attacks occurred. This enabled Mike to get to a safe place and allowed him to take his medication a bit sooner, which reduced the severity of the attacks. Mike came to rely on Dakota's warnings so much so that he gained confidence to venture out of the house more and more - knowing that with Dakota at his side, he would never again be surprised by a sudden angina attack that could result in him suddenly falling down in the middle of a store - or worse yet in the street.
Because of the bond that Dakota and Mike formed, Mike was eventually able to return to work (with his new office mate, Dakota). This is just a glimpse into the life of Mike and Dakota. Please read the full story in the book, The Angel by My Side, by Mike Lingenfelter and David Frei. It can be found in most bookstores, or ordered on line via Amazon.com.

Once upon a time there was a farmer named kisan. One day he was going through the jungle. Suddenly he heard someone yelling “HELP”, kisan followed the sound and he saw a well. Kisan went near the well and saw a goldsmith, a lion, a snake and a bear hanging in the well.
They all said him to remove them out. Kisan said “I will only remove the goldsmith because he is a human being. How can I trust you? If I remove you animals you will eat me up”. The lion said “trust us we will help you when you want”. Hearing this kisan removed them out; the goldsmith went away without thanking kisan.
After a few days kisan saw the lion. The lion told kisan to come with him. Kisan followed him, after traveling a few minutes they reached a cave. Inside the cave kisan saw that the lion has killed the prince and his gold items were kept aside.
Lion told kisan to take away the gold as it was of no use for him and get some money out of it. Lion told him “this is for that day when you saved my life”.
Kisan took away the gold to the same goldsmith and told him to give him some money for it. Goldsmith saw that the gold was of the princes and informed the king for his profit. The king immediately passed an order to put kisan in prison for killing his son.
Kisan told the king that he did not kill the prince, but the lion did it and gave me the gold. The king did not believe on him and putted him in the prison. The king told “how can the lion come and give you the gold, the lion would first eat you up. You are lying me to get away from here.
Two days later the snake came to the prison from the cracks in the wall. The snake told him “don’t worry I will save you as you did to me”. The snake went near the guard and bit him with poison and brought the keys and gave it to kisan.
Kisan unlocked himself and the snake took him to the exit where the bear was waiting for him to take him away to the jungle. When they reached there the lion and the snake were waiting for him. They told kisan “that day you told ‘HOW CAN I TRUST YOU?’. But in reality you must have just trusted the animals that helped not the human who troubled you.”

The early Thursday morning rush hour on the Major Deegan Expressway in the Bronx was the setting of a dramatic and heartwarming scene as a German shepherd-mix protected its fallen mother who was struck by a car.
Around 6:30 a.m., May 14, a nine year old female yellow lab-mix, Chile, ran onto the Major Deegan Expressway and was hit by a car at exit 3. Her son Husky, ran to the rescue on the crowded highway. The dog ran around her body, protecting his injured mother by barking at traffic and police officers, even as they attempted to offer assistance.
When police managed to rescue Chile, Husky ran home through traffic, dodging vehicles as police tried to catch it.
Chile suffered a broken left leg. She had no ID at the time of the accident, but her owner saw the drama on TV, went to the vet center, and took her to an animal hospital where she will undergo surgery.
The owner told animal control that the other dog, who he also owns, is home now.

A dolphin in New Zealand that goes by the name of Moko has been observed to seemingly help guide a female Pygmy Sperm Whale together with her calf out of shallow water where they had stranded several times.They have also been known to seemingly protect swimmers from sharks by swimming circles around the swimmers or charging the sharks to make them go away.
In another unusual case, two lions saved the life of a small girl when several men were kidnapping her; they were attacked and chased away by the brave lions; although they had the small child at their reach and mercy, they stood at her side for hours until the small girl's parents arrived.

A lamb who escaped from his pasture in England was saved from drowning in a swimming pool by an alert cat.
Puss Puss, a black and white cat, discovered the lamb's predicament and frantically meowed, running back and forth between the pool and the garden where her owners were working, to alert them to his plight.
Puss Puss's owners, gardeners Adrian Bunton and Karen Lewis, had taken her along with them to work at the garden of Cotswold District Council chairman Tim Royle in Cheltenham , UK . Jill Royle said, "She was in a very, very agitated state, meowing and calling and crying and being an utter pest and dashing back and forward between them and the pool."
When Bunton and Lewis found the lamb he was under the swimming pool cover and his head was entangled in the pool cover straps, which actually were keeping him from drowning. Bunton jumped into the pool to rescue the lamb while Lewis went to get help.

A retired Marine credits the dog he smuggled home from Iraq with alerting him that two thieves were trying to burglarize his wife's car outside their La Jolla home.
Retired Lt. Col. Jay Kopelman said the 4-year-old dog, Lava, began growling and barking about 2 a.m. Wednesday. When Kopelman went outside to investigate, he saw two men inside his wife's Subaru.
Kopelman followed the men in his car and called police, who arrested them on burglary and drug charges.
Kopelman found Lava in Fallouja and smuggled him home, despite military rules. The tale is explored in the book "From Baghdad, With Love."
Kopelman is now executive director of the nonprofit Freedom Is Not Free foundation, which helps military personnel who have been wounded and the families of those who were killed.
He has promised a steak dinner for Lava. "This is the most fun I've had since I left Fallouja," he said.

Elephants Warned Humans in Thailand
Reuters reported on January 2, 2005, from Thailand:Agitated elephants felt the tsunami coming, and their sensitivity saved about a dozen foreign tourists from the fate of thousands killed by the giant waves.
"I was surprised because the elephants had never cried before," mahout Dang Salangam said from Khao Lak beach at the eight-elephant business offering rides to tourists.
The elephants started trumpeting - in a way Dang, 36, and his wife Kuluda, 24, said could only be described as crying, at first light, about the time an earthquake measured at a magnitude of 9.0 cracked open the sea bed off Indonesia's Sumatra island.
The elephants soon calmed down. But they started wailing again about an hour later and this time they could not be comforted, despite their mahouts' attempts at reassurance.
"'The elephants didn't believe the mahouts. They just kept running for the hill,' said Wit Aniwat, 24, who takes the money from tourists and helps them on to the back of elephants from a sturdy wooden platform.
Those elephants with tourists aboard headed for the jungle-clad hill behind the resort beach where at least 3,800 people, more than half of them foreigners, would soon be killed. The
elephants that were not working broke their hefty chains.
'Then we saw the big wave coming and we started running,' Wit said.
Around a dozen tourists were also running towards the hill from the Khao Lak Merlin Resort, one of a line of hotels strung along the 6-mile beach especially popular with Scandinavians and Germans.
'The mahouts managed to turn the elephants to lift the tourists onto their backs,' Kulada said.
"The elephants charged up the hill through the jungle, then stopped. The tsunami drove up to 1,000 yards inshore from the gently sloping beach which had been so safe for children it made Khao Lak an ideal place for a family holiday. But it stopped short of where the elephants stood."

The early history of the city of Rome involves Romulus and Remus, two orphan boys who, legend says, were raised by a she-wolf. The boys' mother had been murdered by an evil king and the two babies tossed into the river Tiber. When the wolf found them they had washed up on the shore. She perhaps took pity on the crying of the babies and, gently picking them up in her teeth, she carried them back to her cave and fed them on her milk. The boys grew bigger and stronger and, eventually, were found by a herdsman who took them home. He and his wife raised the boys like their own children. When they reached manhood they sought revenge on the king who had killed their mother and driven them from their home.

Elephants are working and moving where machines in this Tsunami. They are adept in mountainous terrain. The elephant convoys are a blessing in the southern areas where roads are washed out and the ground is a thick mire of mud.
Elephants doing the work of a bulldozer move the tsunami debris clearing streets. Downed trees are no problem for these hard-working giants. The elephants can carry packs where trucks and cars cannot travel. The tsunami survivors cheer the return of the elephants and their mahouts(trainers).

A 13 year old babysitter was taking two beauiful blonde 4 year old girls to the forest. On their way, a truck stopped behind where the girls were walking. The babysitter ignored it, until a man got out. She remembered being warned that there were people around that were stealing small children for the black market.
The babysitter picked up a big stick that was near back and waved it at the man. She told him to go away. The man told her to either give him the girls or he would break her neck and take them anyways.When the man stepped towards them one of the 4 year old girls screamed. Suddenly, a group of birds darted from the sky and began attacking the man. He fell on the ground and they continued to peck at him as he tried to fight them off.
The babysitter picked up the 2 girls and ran to a nearby neighbors house. They called the police, and when they got back to the point of attack the man was gone, the birds were gone...but there was a trail of blood drops.
Wild birds saved them! I just wonder how the birds knew they needed help (how they knew what the scream meant) and how they knew who to attack! And even when all those questions are answered...

Tang, the Amazing Collie
In 1954, a big collie named Tang was standing in front of a milk truck. He wouldn’t budge! He barked like mad until the driver got out. Good thing! In the back of the truck, there was a two year-old girl. If the truck drove away, the girl would have fallen out and probably cracked her head open. Yowzers!
One particular person, named Bill, has an aggressive type of leukemia that is treated regularly in a New York Hospital. Bill battles an incredibly severe debilitating pain. Besides weight loss, sensitivity to touch, disfigurement, nausea and hair loss, patients like Bill battle fear of death, stress, depression, anxiety and isolation while trying to recover.
But these days, a furry visitor often warmly interrupts Bill’s lonely hours spent in a hospital room. After all the medications and treatments, it’s a gentle pooch that’s helping him make the biggest strides. Recent studies show conclusively that the human body responds to physical contact with animals, reducing key indicators of stress and allowing more thorough healing to take place.
Through his contact with his canine friend Bill experiences physical touch, non-judgmental affection, encouragement, nurturing, emotional connection. These experiences in turn translate to reduced heart stress, circulatory system improvement, elevated lymphatic performance, and anxiety reduction.

As we write this, we've watched the terrible scenes in Italy after the earthquake there (April 2009). Once again, sniifer dogs have been brought in to search for survivors. Heroes, each and every one. The Italians recognise the wonderful talents dogs have - they train Newfoundlands and their volunteer owners to rescue people who've got stuck in difficulties on their shores.
In the UK - good news - lifeguard & saver Bilbo is finally allowed back to rescue on Cornwall's beaches.

Beyond dogs that guide the visually impaired there exists a panoply of other types of assistance dogs. They can alert epileptics to an impending seizure, open doors and retrieve objects for people who have limited mobility, or alert the hearing impaired to sounds and other environmental cues, making possible a greater level of independence and activity for people with disabilities of all kinds. The authors (who are legally blind) are educators and frequent contributors to dog publications who themselves benefit from partnership with such animals.
Partners in Independence is an upbeat and inspiring work on assistance dogs and the humans whose lives they benefit. It treats many facets of the subject, including the disability rights movement, caring for and traveling with assistance animals, the history of the assistance dog movement, and becoming a trainer. Stories on the experiences of individuals with their animal helpers enrich the narrative.

Toby the hero dog received the ASPCA Dog of the Year Award after saving his owner’s life. Toby used instinct, bravery and loyalty when he saved his owner from choking.
Golden Retrievers are known for their unwavering kind temperament and their dedication to those who love them the most. In like manner, it is not surprising that a dog like this would be credited with saving someone’s life.

Hero Cat Saves Family From Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Winnie the hero cat saved the lives of her family. A gasoline-powered water pump in the family basement caused an odorless but deadly gas to fill the house.
When Winnie sensed that something was wrong, she jumped on her owners bed and and woke them up. The hero cat jumped, nudged and meowed relentlessly as the house filled with fumes. Winnie’s meows were similar to screams and the hero cat was persisted. Meanwhile, the couple’s 14 year-old-son lie unconscious in another room.
Because of Winnie’s persistence, 911 was called and the family was treated and survived. Eric and Cathy Keesling are grateful that their 14-year-old hero cat, Winnie, saved their lives.
Winnie is a true heroic animal who has touched the lives of many through her brave actions and persistent meows.
Animal: Ground Hog
As almost any schoolchild will tell you, February 2nd is Groundhog Day. When Punxsutawney Phil emerges from his lair on Gobblers Knob in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, he predicts the length of winter. If he sees his shadow, there will be six more weeks of winter; if he doesn't, we'll enjoy an early spring. Few know, however, that Phil continues a tradition, born in England centuries ago. Originally celebrated as Candlemas Day, February 2nd falls midway between the shortest day of the year and the spring equinox. The weather at Candlemas was said to predict the weather to come, "For as the sun shines on Candlemas Day, so far will the snow swirl in May..." English settlers to Pennsylvania brought their ancient tradition with them and first celebrated Groundhog Day in 1886. First called Br'er Groundhog, Phil was renamed after King Philip and has enjoyed much media scrutiny for well over a century!

Baby polar bear Knut made his world debut at the Berlin Zoo in March amid international controversy. The captive-born cub had been rejected by his mother and hand-raised by zookeepers, prompting an animal-rights activist to say that it would have been better to let the newborn die than be treated as a pet. By the time the activist claimed he had been misquoted, Knut was well on his way to becoming the poster-bear for the green movement in general and for the dwindling polar bear population in particular. He even made the cover of Vanity Fair, (superimposed) alongside Leonardo DiCaprio.
