Sometimes there isn't a thread specific enough to prompt telling your favourites... so here's a free-for-all!

Mine's potentially outing, but...
Working on a horse ranch in Wyoming, one of the horses got very sick and went downhill fast. Vet was a long way off with another patient, but said he'd be with me as soon as he could.
Horse was lying on the ground with his head in my lap (as I sobbed) in between seizures, and at some point I looked up to see every dog from the farm (8 in total) sitting or lying in a semi-circle around us, watching.
After about 30 minutes, with no prompt, they all got up and left. I took it to mean they could sense he was about to pass on – but 5 minutes later he was back on his feet.
I now believe he received some kind of energetic power-up from the pups – when the vet arrived he couldn't believe his eyes.
