We all love heroes that sweep in and save the day! It is fun and exciting to watch a movie or to read a comic book, but what about reading something about a real-life hero? Instead of wearing a cape that is flying behind them as they run or fly by, they have fur and four legs. Read about these amazing animals who risked their lives to save a human’s.
Fidge, a black and white domestic cat, who detected cancer in her owner’s breast:
Wendy Humphreys, 52, could not understand why her cat kept lying on her right breast every night for two weeks when she was reclining on the sofa. Wendy then went to her doctor and was told that she had a pea-sized lump in her breast – which would have killed her if left undiagnosed.
“The ultimate cat scan! ‘My kitten alerted me to my cancer because she kept jumping on my breast’.”

Even though Lily was not well herself, she worked for two weeks straight to save people buried under rubble.
