Sasha the pit bull saves family from a fire

After a fire broke out in this California family’s apartment, Sasha the bit pull alerted them by repeatedly barking until the mother of the house, Nana Chai, awoke. Not only that, but Sasha worked on saving Nana Chai’s baby by carrying her off the bed. Sasha’s heroism was also demonstrated by Baby, a 10-year-old pit bull, who saved his family from a fire twice! Too often, pit bulls get a bad rap for being “aggressive,” but historically, they were known for being “nanny” dogs because of their gentleness around children. Pit bulls like Sasha and Baby show loyal and brave these dogs can be!

Nice and interesting topic. But Op would do well to give credit to his source.
But really you should just enjoy the content and worry less about the 'source' its not current News that needs validation...its events that clearly happened In the past .

truth is all animals look at as as uncivilised the same way we look at them as uncivilized and uncultured.

Well aside the whimpering sound (which most preys make when about been killed incists a frenzy even) Animals just usually instinctively can tell weaker animals , and get the need to protect this obviously defenceless girl from her species of superior build(sad if you think about it) but yeah compassion is instinctive.
This is wonderful , Animals self POTRAY humanity more than humans themselves,
Animals Would kills based on it natural instinct to survive

There are proven records of animals showing empathy. Several, in fact. Sometimes, animals take care of each other. Sometimes, they show outpourings of grief, and sometimes, they even take care of us. However they show it, though, there are several times when animals have shown empathy

Chimpanzee Comforted Her Caretaker After A Miscarriage


Central Washington University once took in a chimpanzee named Washoe. They taught Washoe sign language and tried to raise her as much as possible like a human being to see how well the monkey could communicate. The experiment was a rousing success. Washoe was able to communicate and even form full, grammatically correct sentences. The most amazing breakthrough, though, came completely by chance.One of Washoe’s caretakers, a woman named Kat, was pregnant and miscarried. Distraught, she took a few weeks off of work to get through her pain before coming back. Washoe, who didn’t understand the concept of paid leave, took this as a personal offense and refused to look at Kat when she returned.To make Washoe happy, Kat signed that she was sorry and then explained, “My baby died.” According to the people present, Washoe just stared at her in silence for a long while. Then the chimpanzee signed the word “cry” and ran her finger down Kat’s cheek, mimicking a tear.Later, when Kat’s shift ended and she went to leave, Washoe stopped her, signing, “Please, person—hug?”
The chimpanzee, who had lost children herself, was so sympathetic to her caretaker’s pain that she wouldn’t let her go home without sharing a comforting embrace.

Chimpanzee Mother And Sister Took Care Of A Baby With Down’s Syndrome

We often think of nature as a cruel and unforgiving place—a kill-or-be-killed world where only the strongest survive. Evolution seems to suggest that the weak get cut off by the strong and left to die and that our own tendency to protect the elderly and the ill might be some kind of anomaly in nature. But it seems like that’s not always exactly true.Japanese researchers working in Tanzania spotted something that they’d never seen before. A chimpanzee was taking care of a baby chimp which they described as suffering from “symptoms resembling Down’s syndrome.” The baby held its mouth open like a fish, could barely support itself, and seemed to suffer from a mental handicap.The mother took care of her anyway, carrying her everywhere because she would fall down without her mother’s help. The mother would also raise the child to her breast to let it feed. Even more interestingly, the chimp’s sister helped with the baby’s care when the mother needed to eat.The sister had a major part in the child’s upbringing, so much so that they relied on her. Just like a human, the chimpanzee mother needed help to take care of her baby. When the older sister became pregnant herself and couldn’t help anymore, the handicapped baby died.

A Pride of lion saves a 12 year old girl




In 2005, a 12-year-old girl near Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, was dragged out into the wild and beaten bloody by seven men. Apparently, this was supposed to convince her to marry one of them—which seems like a weird method but is shockingly common there. According to the United Nations, 70 percent of marriages in that area start with a young girl being abducted, dragged out into the middle of nowhere, raped, and then forced to marry someone.All that would have happened to this girl, too, if it wasn’t for a group of lions. When the girl started crying, a nearby pride of lions heard her and rushed to her rescue. The animals pounced on the men and chased them away, saving her before she could be raped and forced into a life of servitude.That’s not all, though. If they’d just attacked the men, it could easily have just been a random lion attack. But they stayed with the girl. The lions waited with the bruised child for about 12 hours—protecting her in case the men came back—until her family found her. And when they did, the lions walked back into the jungle, leaving her safe

Sea lion saves man after he jumped from the Golden Gate Bridge


Suffering from mental illness led Kevin Hines, who was then just 19 years old, to attempt to take his own life by jumping from the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. Astoundingly, he survived the impact but suffered severe injuries and was desperately trying to stay afloat in the freezing waters. He felt a creature in the water and was scared until he realized this animal was bumping up and helping him swim. Although at the time he did not know what animal helped save his life, he later found out from an onlookers photos that the animal was a sea lion! Kevin Hines now travels the world to educate others on mental health and suicide prevention

In February 2012, a woman was walking through Oxford, Ohio, when a man dragged her behind a building and tried to choke her with her purse straps. He was seemingly intent on robbing her – if not worse – but these plans were foiled by a heroic deer, who ran out from underneath a nearby bush and scared him off! Sergeant Jon Varley, who assisted the woman after the attack, said he couldn’t “recall a similar incident” during his seventeen-year long career.

The woman suffered red marks and bruises but did not require any hospital treatment. She also did not lose any of her belongings… thanks to the quick-thinking actions of that unknown deer.

Rheal Guindon, a young boy in Ontario, Canada, was out on a camping trip with his parents when they decided to go fishing. Rheal stayed onshore but was appalled to witness his parents’ boat tip over, and his parents tragically drown. Panic-stricken, he attempted to walk to the nearest town to get help, but as the sun set, he realized he would have to spend the night outside.

As he lay on the ground, traumatized by this ordeal, he felt “a warm, furry body” press up against him. Thinking it was a dog, he fell asleep. On waking up the next morning, he found three wild beavers snuggled up against him. They had saved him from freezing to death overnight when temperatures had dipped below zero.

With all these stories it begs the question are these animals really uncivilized as we have always thought , and do we share the Instinct of empathy ?

Animals are animals, and they only think in one way!
Animals lack the ability to remember the past and connect it to the present in order to predict or guess what will happen in the future.
If an animal is hungry, it will seek food wherever it can find it; if the animal's food is in your stomach and the animal can see it, the animal will not hesitate to tear your stomach open to obtain the food. Your death is not the animal's problem.
Animals act because they need food, they gain something from what they do, they are protecting their young, or they are trying to save their own lives!

It's just remarkable. I guess the mother elephant had the idea that humans could help because it had seen them do something similar.
