Kelly Andrew, from Boston, Massachusetts, is the owner of a Boston terrier named Henry. Recently, the dog started acting up in the middle of the night, and kept breaking into their nursery and waking Kelly’s baby.
She was very upset with the dog’s behavior. However, she soon realised the dog was acting weird on a hunch, and realised that the infant had sᴛᴏᴘᴘᴇᴅ breathing.
Thanks to the canine’s alertness, the parent could quickly rush the child to Connecticut Children’s hospital in Hartford to get emergency treatment.
Kelly first thought her baby was suffering from a head cold but in turned out she was struggling to clear her airway.
She turned blue and went rigid as she was unable to get any oxygen. Hours after the ordeal, the baby was released from hospital to recover at home.
Her husband told that the dog “definitely had a steak coming” and that they would treat him like he is “king of the castle”.
We’re so glad this baby is safe now, thanks to the quick-thinking of this heroic dog! Good boy, Henry! Share this amazing news to show how great dogs can be!
