Dogs are not just man's best friend. They're lifesavers too!
We've seen dogs make headlines for their bravery in saving the lives of humans in grave danger. We've seen them viciously attack burglars and call for help whenever they see that something's wrong with their humans.
In the animal kingdom, dogs are the most loyal to us, humans. But are these stories really true, or are they fabricated?
A study conducted by the researchers of Arizona State University found out that if dogs can, they will save the life of their owners.
Clive Wynne, a co-author of the said study, mentioned that the study does prove that dogs care for people. Here's another comment from the researcher.
Even without training, many dogs will try and rescue people who appear to be in distress — and when they fail, we can still see how upset they are.
The team had two related goals. First, to know if the dogs wanted to save their owners. If yes, then next step is to figure out their reasons.
Sixty dogs that did not go through rescue training were tested for this experiment. In what they call a distress test, about 33% of the canines successfully completed the rescue.
There aren't a lot of studies that determine whether or not dogs can save their owners. But you can already see from the study that dogs indeed have the will and way to save their humans from danger.
In this post, we're going to look at a viral video of a dog who kept a boy out of harm's way.
The video starts with children playing with the ball. The fun soon ends when the girl threw the ball too far and into the pond.
As the boy attempts to retrieve the ball, the dog stops him from doing so. Then the dog took it upon himself to get back their toy.
According to one redditor, the dog is none other than Nuomi. The German Shepherd previously went viral for being a partner-in-crime with a little girl.
In the said video, the girl is watching TV while the dog was on a lookout for the young one's parents. Nuomi tells the girl that someone's coming and she'll get back to her homework.
What a genius dog!
Dogs are so smart, they know how to keep away their humans from harm's way.
Whether it's a raging wildfire or a sinking ship, there's no situation too dire for a brave dog. And time and time again, they've proven that they are more than just our loyal companions.
Dogs save our lives in many ways. You may not know it, but every day, they do things to make our well being better.
For example, there are dogs know when their humans have cancer. In fact, they detect it through one's breath or stool samples.
They also seem to know when a natural disaster is coming. When your dog seems anxious even when nothing's wrong with them physically, it may be a sign that you need to prepare for the worse.
There are just so many ways they can save our lives. They're true heroes.
