Last year’s winners included a first-aid wunderkind and golden retriever who performed a modified Heimlich maneuver on his choking owner, a petite kitty with a loud voice who saved her family from dying of carbon monoxide poisoning and a selfless pre-teen who works tirelessly on behalf of homeless horses.
