Ordinary dogs from all over the world commit amazing act every day, Duke is no exception! When I first read this story my jaw dropped. I love reading these stories, animals really are such loving and giving creatures, they all deserve a loving home.
6 years ago Duke was adopted from a local shelter. He was given love and kindness. He then became a protector when Harper, the family's baby, was born. One night once the family was asleep, Duke came into the parent's bedroom, jumped on the bed and started shaking so vigorously that it woke them up. Once they woke up he continued to shake uncontrollably. Duke was always extremely obedient, so they knew something was wrong. They decided to check on Harper, to their surprise, she wasn't breathing. They called 9-1-1 and rushed her to the hospital. Harper made it through okay. Thanks to Duke, the parents woke up, otherwise, they would've slept through the night and Harper may not be here today.
The family hopes this story helps encourage other families to adopt not shop! Stray/shelter dogs are just as important and smart as store bought dogs.
