7 Incredibly Brave Animals That Defied Tough Odds

6.Lazarus the Dog

Lazarus doesn’t have an incredible prosthetic, but he is immortal, and that’s kind of cool. Alright, not actually immortal, but still pretty incredible.

Lazarus was hit by a car and brought to an animal shelter. He recovered, and that’s neat, but not out of the ordinary. So far, so normal. When nobody wanted to adopt him, he was given an injection to put him down. Sad, but still normal.

What’s not normal is that the next morning he was up, walking around, and just generally being a living dog. A bit unsteady, apparently, but still alive. The story got out and Lazarus was quickly adopted, probably because the family wanted to bask in reflected glory.
