Heroic Guinea Pig
Snowball, the guinea pig, saves the life of Bianca, a deaf pit bull puppy

Harrisburg, Pennsylvania - A guinea pig at the West Shore shelter of the Humane Society saves the life of a choking puppy.

Staff members heard frantic squealing and shuffling from Snowball's cage.

When staff arrived, they discovered that Bianca, a deaf, white pit bull mix, had tried to escape her crate by wedging her head through the door. When she became caught, she started choking and struggling to remain conscious.

Bianca was quickly released and is doing fine.

“The dog got lots of hugs, gave us lots of kisses, and the hero enjoyed two carrots,” said Claudi Luci, an HSHA volunteer.

Both Snowball & Bianca have been adopted. Great News, huh?

On a sad note, though, there are still zillions of pets still available at the shelters there. See this news article: Humane Society shelters appeal to pet owners
