If so why would a mammel that was made with the instinct to survive give up all instinct and sacrifice itself for love.

Altruism is explained by kin selection and the fact that, sometimes, more of your genes are passed on if your death saves the lives of two of your siblings than if your survival means their deaths. Same with how the workers of a beehive will perish in innumerable numbers to protect the queen, the only breeding member of the hive. None of the workers can pass on their genes if the queen dies.
