I voted for Winnie. For an animal to understand their lives were threatened by something that can't be seen and has no scent, she had to have an incredible sixth sense and instinct. I hope to live in a world one day where animals are respected for the magnificent creatures they are.

When I was around 12 , a husky got into our yard and started attacking my brother's calf who was tethered to a tree.Our horse broke through her corral fence and attacked the husky til it ran off. The calf was treated and was fine after awhile. The husky? Who cares.
