- Did you know that dogs can do the Heimlich maneuver?
- Let's talk about that.
(upbeat music)
Good Mythical Morning.
- As many of you know, I have a puppy named Barbara,
and if I ever found myself in a life-threatening situation,
Barbara would be of absolutely no help
unless I just needed to see something cute
in the middle of my death. - Right.
I would say that Jade is probably in a similar situation.
I think they've colluded
about how they're not gonna save our lives.
But there's many pets out there
that have done amazing things,
heroic efforts to save their human masters' lives.
It's time for
"The Heroic Tails of Pawsitively Purrfect Pets."
- Okay, let's get started with Carrie, the horse
in 2014's Scotland. - Carrie the horse?
- Dairy farmer, Fiona Boyd was doing her thing,
afternoon dairy farming.
She had to separate a newborn calf from her mother,
because apparently all calves are sent to boarding school.
- That is sad.
- The mama didn't take kindly to this
so she headbutted Fiona to the ground,
pinned her down,
the cow could crush Fiona at any moment.
She starts yelling for help,
there's nobody around except
♪ Carrie the horse ♪
So Carrie (clicking)
- You like had to arrive at what a horse sounds like?
- Gallop sound and begins kicking the crap out of this cow
until the cow (mooing)
backs up, I'm sure it made that exact noise,
and goes away.
Now, so Carrie came to the rescue.
Now, this makes a lot of sense
when you see this picture of Carrie
who is apparently three times the size of a tree.
- [Link] Whoa.
- But you know what?
Fiona is also a giant so she needed a giant horse.
- Right. - And it all makes sense
when you see the picture of the cow,
which as you can see
is approximately 30 times the size of a normal cow.
- [Link] Yeah, look at that cow to the left,
that isn't normal - So they're all giants.
So they all came together and worked things out
and then Carrie was rewarded with extra apples and carrots
which I'm also sure were giant sized.
- I don't know, I'm team dairy cow on this one.
Separated from the mother,
I don't know, let's not get into it.
- Please don't. - I do love milk.
Zoe, the Chihuahua is also a hero you may have heard of.
2007 in Masonville, Colorado,
one Monty Lunde was in his backyard
with his one year old grandson Booker,
who of course we know loved to play in the bird bath.
- Oh yeah.
- Booker in the bird bath. - Oh, Booker.
- That that would be a good TV show,
Booker In the Bird Bath.
- Probably not, maybe in the end scene.
- In the eighties.
(Link and Rhett laughing)
Okay I guess you're right,
but this might make it a great scene.
Booker's in the bird bath,
all of a sudden a rattlesnake comes up and attacks,
but then outta nowhere a Chihuahua flies in named Zoe
and intercepts the chomp of the rattlesnake.
Say.
What I thought you were gonna clap at that moment.
This is your cue to clap.
- I'm so proud of the chihuahua.
- That's right.
Zoe lept in front of the boy
and took the bite right on her forehead.
The Chihuahua ballooned to the size of a grapefruit
in the head region. - Okay.
- Now I do not have a picture of Zoe,
but I do have a picture of a Chihuahua and a grapefruit,
you do the math.
- Okay, there's a lot of math involved.
Okay, 2013 Australia- - Or the Photoshop.
- 78 year old Noel Osborne was also doing some-
- Bird bath? - Some farm work.
- Okay. - With a cow,
and freaking cows are mean because it knocked Noel over
and broke his hip.
He falls down into a big pile of cow manure.
- Oh. - And he can't get up.
- That's insult to injury right there.
- But good thing, his goat Mandy and his dog Mandy.
- What? - Yes.
They're both named Mandy. - If it ain't broke.
- Were there to spend the evening with him,
multiple evenings.
So anyway he's stuck in a pile of manure
and the the dog snuggles next to him, Mandy, for warmth,
and then Mandy gives him milk, the goat.
Okay. - Not the dog.
- Actually he said he had a cup,
well, he said he had a cup.
He suckled the goat for five days,
which this sounds like some sort of spa package to me
like the goat milk and dog warmth dog manure pile package.
- I'm saving up for an hour. - I'd pay for that.
If it's in Australia, I'd love to go to Australia.
Anyway, eventually after five days-
- They're going to dump the manure on you,
friends come by and they see Noel,
he calls an ambulance
and he's now recovered from the incident.
But he claims that this goat milk,
Mandy's milk is the elixir of life,
that's how he got through.
So I've had goat milk, it's not that.
- I mean that, that could be a movie, you know, five days
- Glad your brain is really working,
trying to come up with all kind of-
- I mean I'm in producer mode, man,
this could happen.
2014 in Bakersfield, California,
Erica Trianne Tifallo,
not saying that right,
was watering the plants in her front yard
while her four year old son
was playing on his tricycle in the driveway.
Evidently Erica got a great deal on surveillance cameras
because she has like three of 'em around her house
and she caught this amazing rescue footage from every angle
and then edited together this epic montage of a cat rescue.
Check it out.
- Oh, it's very eerie, eerie music.
- Oh yeah, you know, something's about to happen.
Maybe involves that dingo.
No it's just a dog.
- Friendly, looks like a friendly dog, but he's on the move.
Okay, go ahead do that.
- You know what's about the dog.
- No, no don't do it.
- What God what? - Yeah.
- Go. - Yes, that is the cat Tara
that they own.
- Terror or Tara?
- Tara, T-A-R-A and then she makes sure that her son's okay,
then she runs- - No, she doesn't,
she just runs away.
She doesn't make sure the kid's okay.
- Well Tara stayed with the son
to make sure that the son was okay.
- He'll be fine, the cat's with him.
It is a pretty bad cat.
- Excellent editing on that video
and great job, Tara.
- Okay. 2007 Calvert, Maryland.
Debbie Parkhurst was home alone eating an apple.
I mean, this happens to me every day,
home alone, eat an apple.
- I call Rhett up and I'm like,
Hey, what you doing? - Eating an apple again.
- I figured.
- And anyway, a piece of apple gets stuck in her wind pipe
and then she's home alone
so she begins to try to perform the Heimlich on herself,
going up to a chair and putting herself up against it.
It doesn't work so then she starts beating her chest,
which is great for intimidating,
but not great for saving yourself while choking.
- No you should beat your stomach.
- But it did get the attention of Toby, her dog,
a two year old golden retriever,
who he comes up to her,
he begins to perform the Heimlich,
but he's, it's not really the normal Heimlich,
it's kind of the doggy style Heimlich.
- Okay.
- Which involves coming up and hitting you on the shoulder
and knocking you down. - Okay.
- And then it involves getting on top of you,
and hitting you in the diaphragm.
This is the smartest freaking dog
I've ever heard of in my life.
And jumping up and down on her-
- And the apple- - Until the apple pops out,
and of course, because he's a dog,
he ate the apple.
Actually, no there's no report,
it just not reported.
I'm assuming that he did.
He did lick her face though,
again, because he is a dog.
She was home alone
so people have suspected that maybe she's making this up
but the dog has corroborated all of the details.
- Apple breath.
1998, Joanne Altman was lounging in her vacation trailer
in Presque Isle, Pennsylvania
when she had a heart attack and collapsed.
But luckily she had a huge pop belly pig named Lulu,
end of story.
You know what happens from here?
Lulu ran through the doggy door, piggy door,
I don't know, outside into traffic,
lays down on the road
starts trying to stop traffic.
No one will stop,
cars are like veering around this pot belly pig.
- Yeah, what's the pig doing out here?
- And then she comes back inside,
checks on her owner goes back out,
does it again until a finally a motorcyclist stops
and says, "Hey, your pig is in distress."
- I think you should call him a motorcyclist
- A cyclist of motor
- A biker. - A biker.
- Yeah.
- Hey, your pig is in distress.
She's like, "I'm in distress."
And then they call the ambulance
and Lulu saves the day and receives-
- Pigs are smart, man. - Receives a jelly donuts.
- I've always known this.
Okay.
- I've always known this. - I've always known
that pigs are smart. - You know what,
points for you Rhett,
you've always known that pigs are smart.
- I have.
Okay 2010 Anchorage, Alaska.
Ben Henricks is in his garage working on his car
when a spark hits some gasoline
and immediately catches him and his garage on fire.
But of course he's in Alaska
so he just goes out, stop, drops and rolls in the snow,
he puts himself out,
but we got a problem,
the house is still on fire.
So he goes back in the house to get Buddy the dog out
and also to call 911.
As soon as he opens up the door,
Buddy's just like woo,
just gone just out of there.
- Well, yeah, the house is on fire.
- And so now trooper, Terrence Shanagan, state trooper
he's responding to the call
so he's coming out-
- Are you sure it wasn't shenanigan?
'Cause that would be awesome. - It could have been.
It really ruins it if these are shenanigans though,
I think it was just Shanagan.
So he's out responding to the call,
his GPS fails,
and now he's on these Alaskan back roads,
there's no signs and then he comes upon this.
Watch the video from the dash cam of the state trooper.
Yes he sees buddy the dog who's like,
come this way, come this way.
- Well, he is not speaking, let's be real.
- And he begins to run.
And now the video goes on for a while,
but we've cut it down to show you
that he basically goes to every single turn,
tells the state trooper to,
not tells him, shows him each one of the turns
until voila here, we arrive at the burning house.
Can you believe this?
The dog freaking led him to the burning house?
- Are you sure that's the right place though?
Are you sure? - I'm pretty sure.
Now I don't know if this was a situation
of Buddy seeing the thing and going,
I gotta get back home 'cause I'm being chased.
- No, no, no he's a hero.
- Or if he knew exactly what was going on,
but I like to believe that he's just like Lassie
and he was saving the day,
knew exactly what was going on.
Congratulations Buddy.
He received a raw hide bone as a reward,
which apparently is not good for dogs,
I learned that recently.
Trying to give one to Barbara and my wife was like,
"You can't give her a raw hide bone, she'll die."
- What really? - Yeah.
Look it up man. - Well, that's the tough thing
- We have MD for dogs.
- You wanna celebrate the heroism of these dogs
but you don't know if they get it.
Like you can give 'em an extra love and a little bone,
but do they get it?
- Extra love and little bone,
sometimes that's all it takes.
- Jade and Barbara I hope you're watching
and I hope you're taking notes.
