In Texas last month, emergency responders witnessed the touching animal loyalty that perhaps only a dog can exemplify. 20 miles into their race to the hospital, ambulance personnel were alerted that a dog was hanging on to the side of the vehicle.
Nico the Bernese mountain dog was rescued from a shelter just a couple months ago. Now he's done some rescuing of his own — pulling two swimmers to safety after they were caught in dangerous rip currents off the Southern California coast.
He was found near a dumpster, skinny and alone, just a few months ago. Julio Cruz was a little nervous to adopt the pit bull-mix stray, but took her in and nursed her back to health. Today, Cruz and his roommate -- and all his neighbors -- have "Pekita" to thank for saving their lives
