Has Any Kind of Animal Saved Your Life or From Peril?

when i was 6 years old i was taking my dog out for a walk... and i think there was a dog with rabies but he was about to attack me and my bichon frise (which was about a foot smaller than the other dog) bith the other dogs tail so i had time to run away.... (the other dog was like as tall as a great dane but it wasnt and it was muscular...buff dog haha)
