Loyal Dog Almost Died For Trying To Protect His Owner

 This story proves that the old saying is true- dogs are man’s best friend.

According to the Facebook page of the Soweto Animal Rescue and Advisory Center, a family’s loyal dog was stabbed six times as he placed his own life at risk trying to protect his owners from their own son.
At the family’s home in Kibler Park, Johannesburg, the dog heard a loud noise and ran to the family’s aid.

 “It’s alleged that the son wanted to stab his parents with a knife and the dog heard the screams and came to their aid, and as a result, sustained six stab wounds,” the Soweto Animal Rescue wrote on their Facebook.

The dog has since been rescued and is receiving treatment at Kibler Park Veterinarian hospital.

An order of protection has been granted to the parents against their son, and authorities are still searching for the suspect.
Animal advocates and rescuers have praised this dog for his bravery and loyalty. The rescue group hopes that sharing this story will serve as an education tool to show people the incredible bond between dogs and their human families.

How many people can you really say would risk their life for you? This dog deserves some serious praise and we wish him a speedy recovery.
