My pit bull informed the world that her master was not napping, but had drifted into a coma.

Only if you count the times when they were an easy distraction.

No. I've never had a pet.

No, but it's good to get me into bad situations.

Um.
. .loneliness/boredom, I guess. . .there could be such a situation, but
I can't think of any. If
anybody's interested, though, they can see Ghost & Bernard on my site:

I
have never had a "Lassie, what are you trying to say? Timmy fell
down the well?" situation. But, I can tell you many times that my
dogs have lifted my spirits and kept me sane in the face of
overwhelming life situations. Tip, my border collie/shepherd, is very
sensitive and is my closest animal pal. He knows when I am upset even
if I am not crying. His standard response is to cram his big body as close
to me as possible and put his head in my lap. If I need a hug, he will
bring half of his body up on me and let me hang onto him as long as I
need him. His soft brown eyes are very reassuring. There is nothing like
the unconditional love of a good dog. Nothing. I think it is as close
as we come to God's love on earth.

Not really, unless you consider companionship and avoidance of a bad situation.

My
two dogs are always lifting my spirits, everyday! As for getting me out
of a bad situation...well, years ago I had a huge, sinister-looking shepard
mix who was as sweet as could be. One time I was out hiking alone when
some guy came up out of the woods and seemed to be following me.
Winkie turned and uncharacteristically started growling, baring her teeth
and acting as if
she was going to attack. Of course the man disappeared back the way he
had come. I honestly think the jerk probably had some wicked intentions
and Winker somehow sensed it and acted upon instinct, or something, to
protect me...because like I said, this dog had the sweetest temperament
of any dog I've ever known! She had NEVER growled at anyone or shown any
aggression prior to this incident. So, yes...Winkie got me of a situation
that might have turned bad. Unfortunately, she passed away in 1999 at
the age of 14. I miss her terribly. She was my best buddy for many memorable
years.

If
you mean, actually, phsically performed some feat that got me out of a
jam... no. However, my dog listens very well and has "listened"
to me complain quite a few times and him just being there
(although, now he is at my mom's) sometimes cheered me up.

No, but then again a pet rock is usually no help in general settings.

Growing up we had a dog named Skippy who was dummer than a rock, but he always there to lick the tears off my face when I was inconsolable.

No, but I'll be interested in seeing the other answers to this one. I love dogs.
