Argentine dog saves baby.

Animals rule. From BBC News:

An eight-year dog has touched the hearts of Argentines by saving the life of an abandoned baby, placing him safety alongside her own new puppies.

He was born prematurely to a 14-year-old girl in a shanty town outside the capital, Buenos Aires. She is said to have panicked and abandoned the boy in a field, surrounded by wooden boxes and rubbish.

Then along came La China, the dog which somehow picked up the baby and carried him 50m to place him alongside her own puppies.

This is really sad though:

La China, worried about her own puppies, is reported to be petrified by her new found fame, and her owner says he is worried that she is not eating.
