Readers Digest Animal Heroes of 2009

Hero Pet of the Year saved two from drowning. By sounding a yipping alarm on a beach, an alert Chihuahua named Chi Chi likely saved the lives of two senior citizens overcome by waves - and was crowned Reader's Digest "Hero Pet of the Year. "

According to the story, the other animal heroes included:

  • Quarter horse Sunny boy protected his people from an attacking pit bull.
  • A parrot called Willie called out "Mama, baby! Mama, baby!" when a 2 year old was choking on a Pop-Tart.
  • A terrier-poodle rescue dog saved his owner by alerting the wife when the man's blood sugar level sank to dangerous levels.
  • And, finally a cat called Winnie saved her family by alerting them to a carbon dioxide leak that was minutes from killing them.
