I had my life saved by a snail. I was going out one day and saw a snail on the footpath and thought "You're not going to survive the day around here little fella." and picked him up and dropped him carefully over a fence onto a suitable lawn. Five minutes later a car ran a red light in front of me at high speed. If I'd been three seconds earlier the car would have got me.

So I always pick up snails of the path and the footpath. They are the good guys.
