* An injured and abandoned cat was rescued by the RSPCA in England. On realizing she was a nursing mother, after patching her up, they took her back where she'd been caught so she could go back to her kittens. When the cat was released, her response wasn't to run away, [http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2045633/Pregnant-cat-thrown-moving-car-gives-birth-barn--leads-RSPCA-man-kittens.html it was to very deliberately lead the rescue officer to the barn where she'd hidden her babies so he could collect them too.]
* The story of [[wikipedia:Springer chr(28)killer whalechr(29whale)|Springer, the young orca.]] After her mother died, she got separated from her pod and wound up in Puget Sound, Washington.

A joint Canadian-American operation was launched to first capture her, then treat her back to full health, and finally move and release her to Johnstone Strait, where she could rejoin her relatives. Since then, she has been seen every year with her family, being raised by her grandaunt, happy and healthy.

* There's a show on the National Geographic Channel called ''An Animal Saved My Life'', dedicated to nothing but how animals came to various members of our own kind in their hour of need. Gems include:
