Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })An animal shields the human protagonists from another wild animal or another threat. Since many instances that hero animal is a canine, it may cross over with Canine Companion. Related to Androcles' Lion, in which a much stronger being helps a much weaker one to repay a debt. See Animal Superhero, for whom this trope is their day job. Examples: |

Heralds of Valdemar: In Brightly Burning, palace guards try to kill Lavan because his Power Incontinence is burning the place down. Fortunately, Kalira, a semi-angelic horse, arrives just in time to protect him and, incidentally, establish the psychic link that keeps his powers in check. The book cover of the Daw edition, illustrated by Jody Lee, depicts this dramatic moment. | |

In Transformers: The Last Knight, Grimlock and Snarl (the Dinobot Tyrannosaurus and Triceratops respectively) launch a surprise attack on the TRF squad chasing down both Cade Yeager and his squad of human allies. They launch the attack successfully by having waited underground in the middle of a road, popping up unexpectedly and bulldozing through the TRF cars thus keeping them further from Cade. Grimlock himself suffers a bit of a headache in the process of this launch attack. | |

In James Cameron's Avatar, the Na'vi are on the verge of losing the war to the technologically superior human invaders RDA led by Miles Quaritch despite having an advantage in numbers and being able to reach higher altitudes. Pandora's native wildlife unexpectedly come to their aid by marching into the battlefield and literally bulldozing both the ground and air units of the human military, thus costing Quaritch his entire army and forcing him to fight the war out on his own as a One-Man Army. | |

In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban features a scene not in the original story. When Hermione leads the now-werewolf Lupin away from their past selves by imitating wolf howls, she accidentally leads Lupin to her and Harry. When Lupin corners than, Buckbeak the Hippogriff comes to their rescue by slashing up and scaring away Lupin. Prior to this, Harry and Hermione had gained Buckbeak's trust when the former bowed to him out of respect and the latter when she aided Harry in saving the hippogriff from being executed (and bowing as well). | |

Belle and Sebastian: The titular Belle, a white Great Pyrenees dog, saves her friend Sebastian from trouble quite frequently. In fact, her very first scene in the first episode involves saving a man from a burning building, though the villagers don't appreciate her help and are more interested in capturing her to get a big monetary reward. | |

A recurring motif in the Godzilla series. Many times, Godzilla is depended upon by the humans as both the shield and sword against other giant Kaiju who are destructive in nature: In 1975's Terror of Mechagodzilla, Godzilla intervened in pulling away Mechagodzilla from firing his eye lasers at human fighter jets but wasn't successful in saving them. In 2004's Godzilla: Final Wars, Godzilla is about to take down the Gotengo crew as vengeance for his icy imprisonment back in the Antarctic but his son Minilla intervenes, pleading to his father to spare them. Godzilla contemplates for a minute, then agrees to spare the humans by walking back to the ocean.

This trope is the main premise of Courage the Cowardly Dog, where Courage has to save his human masters (one who is kind, the other's a total jerkass bully) from various supernatural threats who constantly terrorize them. Matter of fact, Courage even positions himself in front of Muriel to save her often taking the beating himself from various monsters who wished to hurt Muriel in some way. | |

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba: A demon example. Nezuko Kamado is the only survivor of the massacre of Tanjiro's family, but she's been converted into a demon. Although she has demonic blood in her veins, she retains some humanity as well and her memories and love for her brother and her family, shielding Tanjiro of being attacked by demons and even other demon slayers for defending a demon (seen in the first episode where she saved him from Giyu Tomioka despite being recently converted). | |
