Brutis was a 7 year old golden retriever when he became a hero in 2004. That's when the loveable pooch snatched up a coral snake as it was slithering dangerously close to a young child, suffering a near-deadly bite from the snake in the process. His heroics did not go unnoticed however, as Brutis was promptly flown to Los Angeles to recieve the National Hero Dog award.
In a nearly unbelievably story titled " Dog makes cellphone to save his owner's life , readers learn about Belle, a beagle who literally bit "911" into his owner's cell phone after the diabetic man collapsed from a seizure, who became the first canine to win VITA's Wireless Samaritan Award. Evidently, the pooch had been trained to bite down on the phone's keypad in the event of an emergency.
All dogs are known for their super-sharp hearing, but most of them don't win awards for it. But when Nellie, a 4 year old black lab, used her high powered ears to detect a intruder in time to save her severely deaf owner, it would've been a crime to give the Heroic Hearing Dog of the Year award to anyone else. The charity that trained Nellie couldn't have been more proud.
So take care of your dogs and treat them well if you have one at home because they are deserved to be loved that way!
