Has your pet ever saved your life?

Once in a round about way my dog probably saved my life. I was sitting on my deck minding my own business when a bear came into the yard and started trying to push my apple tree down (so it could get the apples). It must of made me temporarily insane because I jumped off the deck and charged at the bear well calling it ever dirty name in the book. The bear ran into some heavy brush and I was going to go in after it but I noticed my dog had joined in on the chase and he was also about to head into the brush. I started thinking stupid dog that bear is going to kill you then it dawned on me that I was pretty stupid too (stupid is as stupid does - I guess). I would of probably went charging into the brush if I didn't notice my dog and come to my senses so I figure he saved my life. Cheers and happy weekend!

    Ha ha ha!

    Yes. When I was a teen, I had a cat that absolutely hated smoke. If I lit a cigarette, the cat would jump off my lap every time. One night I was asleep in my basement bedroom when a fire started in the laundry room. My cat went upstairs to my parents room, which was the furthest point from the fire, and walked on my Mom's face until she woke up enough to smell smoke. I had simply gone deeper into sleep with the smoke and as they couldn't wake me, I had to be carried out. It would have been too late if my cat hadn't hated smoke so bad and been so persistent. :)

     Cool. Dogs are basically too quick for bears.
