About this listen

When Animals Changed History

Not all heroes walk on two legs.

A pigeon with a shattered leg who saved two hundred soldiers.
A sled dog who ran through Arctic storms to deliver life-saving medicine.
A stray from Moscow who became the first living creature in space.

Throughout history, animals have done far more than stand in the background. They’ve carried messages through battlefields, hauled explorers across frozen wilderness, rescued the lost, and even helped unlock the secrets of science. Some were celebrated with medals and monuments. Others faded into obscurity, their courage nearly forgotten.

When Animals Changed History brings their stories back to life. From war horses to ship cats, rescue dogs to space pioneers, these accounts reveal the loyalty, instinct, and resilience that shaped events and saved lives.

History books may focus on generals, kings, and scientists. But sometimes, the turning point came with feathers, paws, or hooves.
