Teamwork! I actually read a story about a man who fell through some ice and was saved by his two dogs Tara and Tiree who pulled him out and saved his life. Heres the story (and some other GREAT animal hero stories) from People magazine...people/people/archive/article/0,,20122661,00.html Ice Capade Even with the temperature hovering at 35 below zero, dog trainer Jim Gilchrist of Innisfil, Out, decided to take his two pets-Tara, a rottweiler, and Tiree, a golden retriever-out for their usual afternoon walk on Feb.24,1995. After passing through the woods, they headed home across frozen Lake Simcoe. But as the dogs bounded ahead, Gilchrist, 61, felt the ice give way. I was walking along and went pop right through, he recalls. It happened so fast. I thought, This could be the end. Hearing her masters cries, Tara raced over, only to crash through herself. As they thrashed about, Tiree appeared. All I could think was that shed meet our same fate, says Gilchrist. Instead the whining dog crouched on her belly and crawled to the hole. As Gilchrist grabbed Tirees collar, Tara scrambled atop his back to jump out of the hole. Then she lay on her belly alongside Tiree so Gilchrist could grab her collar with his other hand. While the 200-pound Gilchrist hung on, the dogs clawed backward until he was safe. They had every right to run ashore, says Gilchrist, who, back home, gave his dogs a hot bath. They risked their lives to save me.
