what kind of dog to adopt catherine knew it was important to get charlotte a companion that was good with children dobermans like khan don't have reputation as family friendly dogs so why'd catherine throw caution to the wind and adopt him you'll just have to wait to find out when catherine saw khan at the animal shelter it was love at first sight she knew the reputation of dobermans but there was something about khan she knew was different when she talked to the shelter they told her the dog had an abusive past and was scheduled to be put down the following week against everyone's warnings catherine made her decision and saved khan's life somehow someway khan must have known he'd been saved when he arrived at his new home everything seemed right with the world catherine was slow to introduce khan to charlotte she knew the dog needed to be introduced to her toddler slowly once the bond was formed however the pair were inseparable khan followed charlotte around the house with a loving eye he frolicked with her in the backyard and even slept with her he was her bodyguard which made what happened next even more shocking catherine had no idea what to think all she remembered was that the shelter had told her about khan's past when khan arrived at the animal shelter he was incredibly malnourished the shelter rescued him from a life of abuse neglect a purebred doberman he was raised by a breeder and sold to the worst home possible besides being malnourished khan's body was badly injured he had broken ribs and clear signs of abuse some in the shelter felt the best life for the dog would be no life at all they warned catherine that khan could lash out at any time and it wouldn't be safe around the baby the life shaking incident occurred with catherine watching from the kitchen helpless to do anything khan and charlotte were in the backyard when the dog began nudging the toddler charlotte ignored him until he knocked her over picked her up by the diaper and thrashed her around horrified catherine ran outside as fast as she could but wasn't fast enough khan flung charlotte across the yard and howled amazingly just when it looked like khan proved the doubters right he couldn't have proved them more wrong up next what really happened in the backyard as it turned out charlotte was just fine and khan's horrifying howl was actually a painful yelp after tossing charlotte to safety he hobbled up to catherine and collapsed confused and in shock catherine somehow managed to find her focus and act fast suddenly it wasn't her toddler's life that was in danger it was her heroic dogs with adrenaline rushing through her catherine found the strength to get khan to the vet once there saving khan's life became a race against the clock pulling into the vet khan received help right away the doctor found bite marks just above his right front paw kind of been bitten by a venomous snake more than that khan had saved charlotte from being bitten by a venomous snake now he lay paralyzed and near death the vet pumped khan full of antivenom at this point there was nothing anyone could do but wait the truth is depending upon when catherine and khan got to the vet's office it may have been too late to save his life keep watching to learn what kind of snake bitcon as khan and charlotte played in the backyard they had no idea a venomous mulgus snake was hiding in the bushes the maulga snake is more commonly known as a king brown snake one of the deadliest snakes in the world these civilics live in australia which is known for having an assortment of the world's deadliest animals still you'd never expect to find such a dangerous creature in your backyard regardless of where you lived with the culprit discovered it's now time to go back and uncover the true story behind the attack charlotte and khan were playing in the backyard when khan saw the snake sensing danger he tried to let charlotte know to move his first attempt was to nudge her she didn't get the hint so he kept nudging her until she fell down at this point he acted fast grabbed her by the diaper and tossed her out of the way from charlotte's perspective this was one of the scariest sights of her life from khan's perspective he was doing the only thing he knew how to save the family that saved him with charlotte safe khan took a vicious strike from the mulga possibly trading his life for charlotte's up next khan's fight for his life at the vet catherine sped through traffic and made it to the vet's office in record time to save khan unfortunately there were several factors out of her control once there had she gotten conn there fast enough how much venom had been injected into him what kind of venom how fast was the venom spreading khan had only been with the family for four days before the incident but they already loved him like he'd been there for years luckily for them khan was a fighter he survived a broken home and was given a second chance at life he wasn't about to give that up so far we've talked about two possible endings khan survives to live a happy life or he doesn't there's a third ending though before catherine left the vet they let her know every possible outcome one of these outcomes was khan surviving but being paralyzed for the rest of his life depending on how much venom went into khan's bloodstream it might not have been enough to kill him weighing well over 100 pounds there was always a chance khan would survive the attack regardless so which ending did khan get these civilics waited with khan at the vets until closing they were told there was nothing more they could do khan was in for a long night at the vets he'd been given as much anti-venom and medicine as they could allow now it was up to him to produce enough antibodies in his blood to fight back charlotte and catherine returned home and anxiously waited for the morning catherine has admitted that she didn't sleep at all that night she couldn't bear the thought of losing khan coming up find out if khan survived and what happened after with no sleep the night before catherine drove charlotte to the vet the next morning they got there early and had to wait until the office opened to find out if khan survived the night they let them inside and told them khan had survived the night khan as a matter of fact was doing so well that he was already regaining his strength he was expected to make a full recovery the miraculous news meant charlotte would continue to grow up with her best friend and protector of course this isn't where our story ends khan may have entered the animal shelter in the worst shape of his life but his lineage made sure he was strong enough to handle it according to the shelter khan was bred from another heroic doberman his grandfather once saved a young child just like charlotte khan had his name expanded after the incident khan the wonder dog wonder seems to run in his family thankfully he was able to get out of the abusive home and find the truly loving one he deserved next khan's story goes viral khan's attack turned rescue quickly became a media sensation around the world the best part is khan has no idea he's a celebrity he'll always see himself as charlotte's best friend catherine however knows khan is admired worldwide when a reporter asked her about his heroism she said if khan wants a gold bull khan gets it we owe him for the rest of his life khan will live a long and full life with the civilics find out what they're up to today next khan and charlotte are still best friends it's hard not to believe destiny chose them to grow up together hopefully this story will help ease fears around dangerous dogs such as dobermans khan's only violent when it comes to

the nose cole ran as fast as possible to find his step-dad anthony and get help the pair rushed nala to the vet as quickly as possible when asked about nala's heroic act by a reporter cole said she stood her ground she didn't whimper or anything when she got bit cole's stepdad was able to identify the snake and a strong anti-venom was administered nala was considered to be in critical condition

had to start a gofundme page to raise extra funds as you're about to see their efforts were worth it waiting for days to find out the fate of a pet can be excruciating when the vet finally called cole to let him know nala was okay he was overjoyed now it was even more overjoyed and jumped all over her best friend when they took nala back home anthony said we got her from a rescue we rescued her and

heroic dogs saving human lives this is babu a shih tzu that lives in miyako japan babu weighs in at just 10 pounds and shows us that you don't have to be a big dog to be a hero on the morning of march 11 2011 babu's 83 year old owner tammy akinuma noticed that the little dog seemed more nervous than usual it was earlier than they usually went on their morning walk together but tammy got babu's leash and opened the front door what happened next is remarkable and made tammy very glad she took babu out early that day when tammy opened the front door to let babu out she was surprised that the dog headed straight for a nearby hill this was the exact opposite direction that they usually took on their walks tammy thought this was unusual but let babu lead the way anyway according to the local paper yomi yuri shimbun when tammy's pace slackened babu would look back seemingly urging her owner to walk faster when tammy caught up babu would bound ahead again straining at her leash where was babu leading tammy the pair continued to walk at this brisk pace until they reached the top of the hill it was incredibly fortunate that they were so high up because just then a tsunami hit miyaku the town is only 200 yards or 600 feet from the coast miyako and the entire nearby district of taro kawamukai were devastated tammy's home was destroyed in the strong flood waters heroic babu had led tammy to safety that morning and even brought her to within a kilometer of the closest evacuation center next a dog who provided a voice when her owner couldn't speak they say the dog is man's best friend but this particular golden retriever is one man's best best friend it was new year's eve 2016 in michigan and bob went out to collect wood for his fire unfortunately he slipped and fell badly hurting his neck bob was incapacitated and it was only 24 degrees outside how is he going to survive those frigid temperatures while stuck in the snow unable to move bob began screaming in effort to get his neighbor's attention the closest home was about a quarter mile away and it was already 10 30 at night the neighbor didn't hear him but bob's golden retriever kelsey did she ran out and stayed by his side even sitting on his arms to keep them warm bob started to lose hope as he yelled and the hours ticked by by the morning he'd completely lost his voice and even went unconscious but kelsey took over for him barking endlessly into the cold winter the following day a neighbor named rick came by to borrow some eggs and heard kelsey's frantic barking bob's daughter jenny recounted the story to wyff news the last thing he remembers saying is telling kelsey he was sorry that he tried as hard as he could to stay alive she continued he wasn't sure by the end he remembers losing consciousness and kind of putting his head to the side and saying i gave it all i could give and that was it we think about one hour later is when rick came and found him bob was rushed to the local hospital where he was prepped for surgery dr chaim colin performed a spinal decompression surgery which was successful after recovery and physical therapy bob was just fine bob told cbs i'm so thankful for my two heroes kelsey kept me warm alert and never stopped barking to help dr colin saved my life inability to move they're truly heroes and i will be eternally grateful next up a rescue pup turned hero keep

shelter said about her on their facebook page petunia arrived at the shelter last april with two broken legs a belly full of carpet broken ribs all injuries happened at different times healed her former owner recently convicted of animal abuse petunia has a new name peanut and a new chance at life it's miraculous enough that peanut survived the abuse she endured but she went on to repay the favor her new owner the kind woman who rescued peanut wrote to delta animal shelter to share a story about the dog about 11 am this morning peanuts started going crazy at our house she said she was running up and down the stairs barking and yelping she then went and got my husband who was in the garage working on some projects and alerted him that she wanted to go outside he said he could hear her running around upstairs but didn't understand why what had peanut so worked up peanut's owner had only recently adopted the dog but knew her well enough to realize that something must be terribly wrong for her to be acting up like this he took her outside to investigate he let her outside where she went barreling into the field behind our house at full speed said the wife in the letter to delta animal shelter so what was it that it distressed peanuts so much no one expected peanuts trip into the field to end the way that it did especially on a freezing cold michigan morning the letter

she would receive the care she deserved peanut saved this girl's life the way her own had been saved her owner wrote a touching tribute to the rescue dog and her heroic efforts peanut's owner wrote she's been such a blessing to us and now to others words cannot express how grateful we are that we have peanut in our lives and how amazing she is she's a part of our family now and thanks to wonderful people like you at the shelter she's alive without her not only would she have been gone from this world but the life of this little girl might have been taken as well it sure seems like a lot of rescue dogs end up helping humans later doesn't it maybe they're so grateful for their second shots at life that they're extra in tune and respond to humans who are in need whatever the reason for their life-saving abilities we're thankful for all the dogs who risk life and limb to help others here's another one a rescued greyhound named clobberhead aaron kramer a woman in shelbyville indiana adopted a dog named clobberhead from the local chapter of greyhound pets of america in 2014. she told fox 59 that she knew he was the one as soon as she and her daughter met the pooch it was just one of those things where we knew this was our dog for sure erin said she affectionately calls him clobber aaron would certainly come to be grateful for her new pet and very soon just a couple months after she adopted clobber aaron stayed home sick from work the dog started acting very strangely and she struggled to figure out what was going on with him first clobber kept pressing his nose against the wall and each time aaron let the dog out she would immediately return to the house he kept running up the stairs to the second floor finally erin followed clobber to see what he was up to you won't believe what she found aaron went into the laundry room where she was met with a shocking discovery a wall of gas just came pouring out she told fox 59 the water heater was leaking natural gas and it was also producing sparks a highly dangerous combination the plumber said it probably would have ignited the gas fumes and taken out not only this house but several around me he said marilyn hampton is the president of the local greyhound pets of america when fox 59 reached out to her about clobbers heroic deeds she said i'm just not surprised they're very intuitive they're very sensitive aaron didn't mince words when she discussed what clobber had done if it wasn't for him coming into our lives we probably wouldn't be here right now she said this is one dog that certainly deserves the title hero it turns out that home gas leaks are more common than you might have known keep watching to find out about another pup who saved the day in a similar situation to clobbers

mclarty's bed and just wouldn't stop finally jill got up to investigate she let the dog out but he kept returning to the kitchen jill put him in bed in an attempt to calm hunter down but he went right
