Panicking Dog Wakes Up His Family At Night Just In Time And Saves Their Baby’s Life
When Duke realized that baby Harper wasn’t moving, he immediately jumped into action to rescue her.
Throughout history, dogs have been true guardian angels for humans often coming to our aid in times of danger and disaster and ultimately saving lives. Today’s story is about an adopted dog who proves himself a hero by protecting a child from a life-threatening situation.
One day, the Brosseau family decided to visit an animal shelter in Portland, Connecticut, with the goal of adopting a dog. As they explore the facility, fate leads them to a puppy named Duke. They fell in love with him instantly. The Brosseaus made the decision to give Duke a chance at life as part of their family. They did not doubt that one day their kindness would be repaid.
For five years, Duke brought cherished moments into the lives of his new family. He has become a beloved member of the Brosseau family. Then came the day when the family found out they were expecting a baby. Upon their return with their child, they introduced Harper – their little human sister – to Duke. Inside Duke he knew he had another friend he could play with and share special moments with.
Five years later, the Brosseau family was about to welcome an addition to their family.
There was something that caught the dogs’ attention that made little Harper feel uncomfortable.
Baby Harper has only been in this world for weeks. Duke, as her protector, faithfully did his duty. He would always stay close to her bed. Check on her from time to time. One night, Duke sensed something was wrong and started to worry because he didn’t know what to do. The dog immediately ran to its owner for help. Unfortunately the Dukes’ owners were fast asleep so he jumped on their bed. He did his best to wake them up.
Poor Duke, trembling with fear, tried to attract the attention of his owners while they remained oblivious to the situation unfolding around them.
Finally awakened by their dogs, the Brosseaus hurriedly got out of bed trying to understand what was happening. They were surprised when they heard Duke growl as if to indicate that something was wrong. In response to the mother’s inquiry about what was bothering him, Duke immediately directed them toward the baby’s room. The family panicked when they discovered Harper wasn’t breathing. Immediately call 911 for assistance.
Their immediate action proved crucial in saving baby Harper’s life in time.
Baby Harper was taken to the emergency room. Doctors were able to save her life.
If the family had arrived one second later, they would not have been prepared to rescue baby Harper. It was all thanks to Duke, their dog who woke up the parents in time and bravely saved the day. Besides being a family companion, Duke was able to repay his owners for giving him a chance by saving baby Harper’s life.
The Duke’s heroic story gained media attention and cemented his status as a hero. This shows that our beloved pets not only bring us comfort but can also be our savior in times of need.
