Dogs are life savers in all situations. They comfort us in sadness and help their masters out of all kinds of dangers. A dog saving 27 people really is unusual.
The black Retriever Swansea Jack lived with his master in Swansea (Wales, UK) near the River Tawe. If it hadn’t been for Jack, 27 people would have drowned between 1931 and 1937. He sadly died in 1937 because he ate rat poison. A memorial was put up in Swansea to honor him.

There are lots of accounts of lost pets that travel long distances to get back home. The Labrador Boxer cross Jimpa set an impressive record. In 1979, he traveled halfway across Australia to get back to Pimpinio (in the state of Victoria). His owner had taken his dog with him to a farm in West Australia to work there for a while. During his 14-month long journey, Jimpa even traveled through a desert with hardly any water. Isn’t it impressive how strong a dog’s inner “compass” can be?

• Jenna – Balto’s girlfriend
Balto was a Siberian Husky that became famous as the leader of a dog sled team in 1925. A case of diphtheria had broken out in Alaska. But the native population had no way of combating this infectious disease. There was a medicine that could help, but it was 674 miles (1,085 km) away. And there was a lot of snow, it was -50 to -85 degrees Fahrenheit (-46 to -65 degrees Celsius), and there were strong winds blowing across the country. The roads were unusable and planes were unable to start. There began a battle against time. Or more precisely, a sled against time. Leader Balto led the sled that saved the natives. The Disney film “Balto” told this true story. Husky Jenna is Balto’s girlfriend in the movie. She stays by his side, gentle yet determined. She even helps to chase away a bear that tries to hunt Balto.

But after a while, he starts to become just as bad as the farmer and exploits the other animals. And he makes the loving dogs his ruthless, evil bodyguards. These include Jessie the dog, Bluebell, Pincher and their puppies. The book is an allegory for the dictatorship of Josef Stalin in Russia (1927-1953).
