Thanks to their fidelity, devotion and dedication, dogs have firmly and forever won their place in the hearts of people around the world. Below are the 10 most famous dogs in the world that have become famous for their service to humans.
10. Dzhulbars
Dzhulbars - a dog with an incredible fate. This dog was a brave participant in World War II and managed to save countless lives. Thanks to this, the daredevil managed to clear several thousand mines and about two hundred shells that he was looking for. For the entire time of the war, Djulbars became the only animal to be awarded a medal. When the Victory Parade was celebrated in 1945, the wounded dog was carried across the square with honors.
9. Snappy
Genetic engineering at the crossroads of two millennia has gained enormous popularity thanks to the many discoveries that shocked the world. In their goal of cloning humans, scientists began to move incredibly huge steps and were already able to start cloning animals. Snappy was the second successfully cloned animal after the famous sheep Dolly. It was a dog clone, created by a scientist from South Korea. This happened in 2005, and all the media proudly marked the charming Snappy the main event of the year.
8. Laika
The story of Laika is the story of a real hero, which ended, alas, very sadly. This was the first dog to be able to visit orbit. At least this is the first dog whose name has been announced to the public. But however, Laika failed to return back. She stayed in orbit for several hours and died. This happened due to a technical error - the container in which the dog was in was heated. Despite the fact that she did not return to the earth, her name was remembered and posthumously awarded the title of the first dog to be in orbit.
7. Palm tree
In the late seventies, at a Vnukovo airport, a journalist named Yuri Rost saw a dog. He was surprised that all the workers came up to her and stroked her. The special correspondent recognized her story. It turned out that Palma (as the ministers at the airport called it) had lived in Vnukovo at that time for 2 years. Once upon a time, her master flew by plane, and left the dog. And since then she has escorted and met every plane in the hope that he will return. Rost published a surprising story in Komsomolskaya Pravda, and many responses began to come from caring people who wanted to take the dog to themselves. But the real owner did not respond. As a result, Palma moved to a female assistant professor at the institute in Kiev and gave birth to three puppies.
6. I drink
I drink - our contemporary with you, he lives in Thailand. Once in Bangkok in 2014, an ordinary mongrel brought his master a newborn baby in a pack. The man immediately took the baby to the hospital, where they later said that the dog not only saved the child, but provided emergency assistance. The fact is that when the child was in the hospital, he was on the verge of death. If the baby arrived a couple of hours later, he would already be dead. Pugh was awarded a special collar with the order of a dog-hero, and his owners were paid a monetary reward.
5. Balto
Probably everyone knows the famous cartoon, which was named after this amazing dog who saved several thousand children in Alaska. Then there was a severe epidemic in the state, but because of frosts and blizzards it was almost impossible to deliver medicine to children's hospitals, and this dog, being an ordinary mongrel, led a team of huskies and together they were able to bring medicine to sick kids. For such heroism, a monument to the great Balto was erected in New York City Central Park for his dedication, courage, and saving the lives of children.
4. Pavlov’s dog
In fact, there was no specific Pavlov dog. The scientist experimented with hundreds of dogs, and these experiments were quite cruel. Often they led to the death of the animal. Pavlov often said what torment he experienced when he realized that at the end of the experiment another dog would die. And if it was possible to save the animal, the scientist provided him with good living conditions until the very old dogs. He personally nursed all experimental dogs after hard experiments. Therefore, Pavlov’s dog is a collective image of all exhausted animals, experiments with which allowed the Russian scientist to make a number of discoveries that are most important for modern medicine.
3. Rico
The famous Rico is now considered the most intelligent dog on the planet. It all started in 2014, when the owner of the dog said that his dog understands human speech. Scientists became interested in an unusual dog and began to conduct a bunch of experiments with a dog. They put Rico in one room and scattered things on the floor. In another room, the owner of the dog spoke the name of any thing, and the dog took it and carried it to its owner. Rico also found a tendency to deduction. For example, a thing was placed in the room whose name the dog did not know. And when the owner called it, the dog guessed that it was the name of a new thing, and carried it.
2. Hachiko
The name "Hachiko" has become a household name and now means loyalty and devotion. Based on the real story of the dog Hachiko and his master, a film was made that is now incredibly popular among people of different ages around the world. Dog Hati escorted his master always to work from home and back. And all the while the owner was at work, the dog was waiting for him at the platform at the suburban train station. But once the owner became ill at work, and he died in the hospital. Since then, Hati has always come to the platform and waited for his master for 9 years until his death. During the life of the dog, a monument was erected to him, which was a meeting place for lovers and became a symbol of true eternal love.
