I've saved lots of squirrels and birds from my dog in my childhood, all of them died shortly thereafter of their injuries.

I "rescued" a mongoose that was killing my bunnies i.e. i didn't beat it to death with a shovel after it was caught in my snare.

And when I was maybe 15 my boy scout troop went to New Mexico for a backpacking trip in the mountains and my father was a leading chaperone for the trip. The weather there was usually perfect or blearing heat, but one day we had an unpredictable hailstorm. The temperature dropped low and there were golf ball sized pieces of ice raining down on us. Then it turned to water as the storm cloud passed overhead, and buckets rolled downhill as we sought higher ground to set up a temporary shelter. The dirt paths were slick and muddy and we were desperate to get out of the slippery mess, so we made our way through the brush up the side of a smaller peak. Maybe 100 yards up, I got a foothold that was sturdy enough and I saw my dad slip just feet beneath me. The fall was steep and he wouldn't have recovered, he would've stumbled over trees and sunk all the way down if I hadn't grabbed his wrist just before he fell. He could've hit his head or worse, and it made me realize he was getting old and I was lucky I didn't lose him this time, because I hadn't been paying attention for years when I should've. It's really embarrassing actually, he tells that story every chance he gets and he's really proud, but for me it was just scary and miserable.

I've rescued Zanick's dad in a similar situation but when I was doing it I was surrounded by a petting zoo of baby animals I've rescued from slaughterhouses and science labs. I think there's a statue of the incident somewhere and U2 made a song about it.

Have I told you about this one time when I saved Christmas?

Holy shit, Zanick is back? I missed you muh nigga.
Anyway, I've saved a lot of things. Every animal I ever owned was a rescue. This is probably the most intense story though...
Back when I was in the army, my friend was cruising down this desert highway with me in the passenger's seat. We were at a gun show and headed back to the base. We had a conversation that lasted maybe five seconds.
Soldier: Hey, I'ma hit that box in the road. Starts veering towards box
Me: Eh, maybe you shouldn't, it might have something in it that'll fuck up your car.
Soldier: Yeah. I guess you're right. Veers away
We passed the box. Immediately a fucking kid crawled out of it.

You probably killed a lot of future lives by missing that kid that day. You should be ashamed!

You're driving down a road in the middle of desert and you see sploo standing in the middle of it, oblivious. What do?
