As humans, we think we're safer when we're surrounded by inanimate objects. But puppies know better.

Luckily, our canine companions always manage to protect us, and they don't even expect any thanks in return. That's just what they're here for. So read on to see puppies take on their greatest enemies yet, from ice cubes to cherries.
