We all know that heroes don’t always wear capes, but I wish more people knew just how many heroes have four paws. From police dogs and military pups to the everyday pets who become heroes with their selfless actions, there are so many dogs who have changed lives for the better–including Beaker and Bunsen the Berner!
Not only do these cuties have some of the sweetest science-inspired names, but they have some of the sweetest personalities, too.
Bunsen is the definition of a gentle giant, but the Bernese Mountain Dog didn’t hesitate to do what he had to do when his sister, who was a puppy at the time, was attacked by a coyote. He saved the Golden Retriever’s life four years ago, but on August 21, the dogs’ owners recounted how Beaker repaid the favor by staying by her brother’s side when he had emergency surgery.

Good dogs! These pups have mastered the arts of loyalty and love, though a little bit of fighting spirit doesn’t hurt, either. No one has any doubt that Bunsen is a gentle giant of a dog, but he also knows exactly when to let instinct take over. He guarded his Golden Retriever sister from the coyote that attacked her, and they’ve had no issues ever since.
The sweet Bernese Mountain Dog is the perfect loyal friend to his sciency sister, but she proved that the love goes both ways after he had a scary medical episode. She made sure he was never alone and that no one got in the way of his healing!
