Can a hero be an animal?
Heroes come in all shapes, sizes and forms. They're the “average Joes” and the girl next door. And sometimes, they're not even human at all. ... Every day, remarkable animals become heroes when they save the lives of members of their own species, the lives of other species, and even the lives of humans.
Can an animal be considered a person?
Animals can have a hybrid status where they are recognized as both property and persons under the law. However, as long as they are still classified as property they will not be “full persons” – one end of the property/personhood continuum that grants the strongest legal recognition of interests.
Is a hero born or made?
Put another way: Heroes aren't born, they're made. Expertise and training in helping others often spur people to act — rather than run or freeze — in a crisis. Even if someone hasn't faced a particular emergency before, extensive and even general preparation helps the brain act almost automatically.
