The dog was locked in a pen, and if someone didn't rescue it, it would certainly die.

The couple were out on a pier when a misstep sent Ezrick Marines and his guide dog Brutus tumbling into the harbor below.

The family was worried they'd never see their beloved dog again, but then a work crew found a disheveled animal they thought was a bear.

The elderly dog had been missing for days when the owner heard muffled sounds coming from under the road 100 feet from his house.

Owner Alan Todd said that the bird had gone astray three weeks ago during a routine flight from the Channel Islands to Newcastle, England.

Fred the Labrador retriever gets along well with most animals, but he has a special place in his heart for abandoned ducklings.

The flight attendant who escorted the elderly dog to his new owners certainly represented the heart that the airline is known for.

Mom Virginia Havens said that, without their fierce four-legged companion, 'it would’ve been a completely different type of tragedy.'

From start to finish, the whole rescue operation took three hours to complete, and the dog was reunited with his owners.

Several people a week were knocking on their door to tell them about their crazy dog, so they decided to put up a sign explaining his antics.
