Unbelievable Animals That Saved People's Lives
Summary of video
- In this Video many people were hurt but were saved by the animals. One had broken bones and was helped by a gorilla. Some animals helped others by telling something about someone or something. One time there were toxic fumes in the house and the cat told the adult, by meowing really loud and nudging her owner. Another time was when a baby sitter was about to go to the bathroom but the parrot said “Mama Baby!” then she ran back to the baby and saw that the baby was choking.
