    What kind of creature saved Napoleon's life when he fell overboard on a trip from his exile in Elba?

    Question #112341. Asked by dcpddc478. (Jan 23 10 11:48 AM)

    		A Newfoundland dog.

    Napoleon owed his life to a Newfoundland.

    Napoleon couldn't swim, and fell overboard in the darkness on the way to Elba. Even after a Newfoundland on board saved him from drowning, he hated dogs. Perhaps he was feeling bitter because his archenemy, Lord Nelson, kept a Newfoundland beside him in battle!
