- Max's owner Jack woke up after passing out when his dog, Max, was biting his arm and pulling on him. Jack called 911 to report a dog attack, but later discovered that his dog was trying to get him out of the house because of carbon monoxide poison in the house that would have killed him if he had stayed in the house much longer. This happened in Novato, California.
David Kenny's dog Leala had run up to him soaking wet. David knew something was wrong so he followed Leala down to the dam. When he got there he saw his 2 year old brother face down in the water. They got him out and thanks to Leala, he is safe.
Ham the chimp was the first hominid trained and sent into space in 1961.
