Cher Ami The Homing Pigeon

via

There are only a few animals as dedicated to their duty as Cher Ami. This was a homing pigeon used in the first world war to deliver a critical message to the commanding officer. Cher Ami managed to save the lives of the 200 American soldiers in the battalion by delivering the message even though she was shot twice in the chest, once in the wings, and had even lost her leg.
