Episode description

What defines a hero? Join us as we uncover inspiring true stories of heroism, from Cher Ami, the legendary WWI carrier pigeon who saved nearly 200 soldiers, to Togo, the brave sled dog pivotal in the 1925 serum run. Explore the epic Greek origins of the word 'hero' and marvel at modern-day courage: a five-year-old girl's fire rescue, a beluga whale's life-saving intervention, and an elder's fearless stand against a polar bear. Plus, get practical emergency preparedness tips, including the basics of CPR. Tune in to bust myths, celebrate incredible acts of bravery from humans and animals alike, and discover what it truly means to be a hero.
