REAL LIFE

George

Who: On 29 April 2007, he saved five children at a carnival in New Zealand from an attack by two pit bulls. He was reported to have charged at them and held them at bay long enough for the children to get away. Killed by the pit bulls, he was posthumously awarded the PDSA Gold Medal in 2009, the animal equivalent of the George Cross. A statue has been erected in Manaia, New Zealand in his memory. A former US Marine also donated to George's owner a Purple Heart award he had received for service in Vietnam.

Bothie

Who: He became the first dog to travel to both the north and south poles. This feat is unlikely to be repeated, as all dogs have been banned from Antarctica by the Antarctic Treaty nations since 1994, due to fears that they could transmit diseases to the native seal population. He was voted as the pet of the year 1982 and received an invitation of the president of The Kennel Club (from UK, the first of them all) to do a circuit of honor and receive an award at the prestigious dog show Crufts, in 1983. His adventures were documented in the book "Bothie, the Polar Dog".

Trump

Who: The mother of all Jack Russells. It is believed that she was found in Oxford, England, on top of a milk wagon by the reverend John Russell, the original breeder of the breed, who ended up buying her from his owner.
