Italian diver Enzo Maiorca, while diving in the sea of Syracuse, felt something hit him in the back. He turned around and saw a dolphin.

He understood that he was not playing, but expressing something.
The dolphin dived down and Enzo followed him.

At a depth of 12 meters, caught in a net, was another dolphin.
After managing to free him and his wife, when the two dolphins surfaced, they emitted an almost human cry (this is how Maiorca described it). Dolphins can be held underwater for up to 10 minutes and then drown. The captive dolphin was a female about to give birth.

The male surrounded her and stood in front of Enzo and touched his cheek (like a kiss), a gesture of gratitude. Enzo ended his speech with the words:

"Until man learns to respect and communicate with the animal world, he will never be able to know his true role on this earth."

In 1925, diphtheria affected an isolated village in Alaska. Due to the severe cold, it was not possible to transport the medicines by plane and ship, so the transport of the medicines to the town of Noma was organized with the help of mushers (guides or drivers of a dog sled team).
About 1120 miles (1800 kilometers) had to be covered in five days. There were several teams and they took turns on different sections. The Norwegian Gunnar Kasen and his main dog Balto were the first to bring the serum to the village.
It turned out that Kasen had not made a mistake in choosing the main dog, because when the team had an accident, Balto helped his musher, saving him from certain death.
When the storm reached its peak and visibility became low they crossed 85 km. Balto is considered a hero, and in 1925 a monument was erected to him in Central Park in New York.
He was truly a hero, like all the other dogs during this mission. However, the dog that did the most difficult part of the work was Togo who crossed the longest distance 260 miles (418 kilometers). He was part of Leonardo Seppala team of dogs. Togo is the husky, in the photo.
Togo was already known for his incredible leadership qualities, which he demonstrated again in this race.
The mission was successfully completed and these brave dogs saved numerous lives.
