Canine kind has been by our sides for thousands of years. First as tentative friends, then as work companions and finally as family. And their work has developed a lot too. From their humble days helping us hunt, they have evolved into incredibly clever canines who can support us in our day to day lives, and even save those lives when necessary.

We truly owe them a whole lot of their loyal and unending service to humanity. Because without them it would be hard to say where the human race would be nowadays. So we wanted to celebrate our darling doggos' commitment to hooman kind, and as such made this list of hardworking doggos who deserve a raise and a belly rub. And if these heroic hounds have not satisfied your daily dose of doggo then you might check out this list of doggo derps to balance things out.

  • There is no other word to describe this pupper other than hero. His only job in this world is to save lives and shred pow, he is the dog superhero equivalent of Superman, zipping around at unfathomable heights and speeds as he traverses the mountains. And when a call for help comes over the radio, he is there in a flash to save the day.

  • Well, this is certainly new. We have all heard the heroic tales of mountain rescue doggos, but here it seems we might have a sea rescue doggo being lowered down from a chopper to calm and cuddle stranded hoomans at sea while the other hoomans slowly winch them up to the helicopter. What a hero.
