公元前5世紀，古希臘歷史學家希羅多德記載過一件奇事：音樂家阿里昂乘船返回希臘時，水手們意欲謀財害命。阿里昂乞求水手們允諾他演奏生平最后一曲。他奏完樂曲就跳入大海，一頭海豚游過來馱起這位音樂家，將他送到了伯羅奔尼撒半島。movingstoriesAnimals,people’sfriends

有一個車老板趕著馬車從山上往山下走，這時轅馬的套掉了，老板俯下身想揀起來，沒想到穿在身上的棉大衣被壓在車輪底下，將人帶了下去。在這千鈞一發之際，轅馬一口將車老板叼起，隨著巨大的慣性向山下跑去，一直跑到安全地帶，車才慢慢停下來，把人輕輕放下，這時馬跑了一身汗。戰獸醫師說，“這個老板心地非常善良，平時與馬很有感情，從來不打馬，這次有難，是馬救了他。”1999年《哈爾濱晚報》登載了這樣一條新聞:黑龍江省阿城市有一個聾啞人，有一天坐在火車道上，當火車路過這里時，怎么鳴叫他也聽不見。這時，在路邊吃草的一只山羊見到了，它拼命地跑了過來，用角把這個人推出了道軌，而它來不及躲避，不幸壯烈犧牲。Discussing
