I've had all kinds of hero moments and I've accomplished many feats of strength but I don't know if i've ever combined the two.
Saved a hundred + pound Rottweiler from drowning in a pond. It had tried to swim and got panicked and started reaching it's paws out of the water which made it flip over backwards and go under. It resurfaced once and went under again and you couldn't even see a ripple on the surface. I swam out and started feeling around and was able to touch it with my foot. I went under and grabbed it and was able to swim it to the bank.
Once when I worked for probation I was pulling up to the office I saw a guy get out of a truck with a beretta type pistol at his side and start walking up towards the office. There was a pawn shop next door and I thought "He's either going to pawn his gun or he going to shoot up the office" I got out and started trotting up behind him just in case and he went into the probation office! I ran in behind him ready to have a shootout and knowing that I could shoot him through the heart and I could still get killed before he fell. I came in behind humans challenged him and he didn't draw on me so I didn't shoot him either.
Turns out he was a friend of one of the officers there and was taking the gun to another officer trying to sell it. His buddy comes out and escorts him back to the other officers office and lets him and his pistol take the lead. The other officer, who is a member here, was just sitting at his deck when this guy he didn't know rounds his doorway with the pistol. He looked up and said to himself,"this is going to hurt!"
