Who is your childhood animal hero?

I still remember the good old days when I watched some of the TV series of a dog character - Lassie. The show named after the dog.

Lassie was the main character of the live TV series, and the star. In the show, he saved countless humans and other animals. He would lead the rescue team to the people who need help. He would fight off dangerous wild animals (eagle, mountain lion) to save other weaker animals. In one episode, he helped to solve the case of theft by catching a chimpanzee who's been stealing a lot lol.
