A Minnesota family experienced a life-changing event. Two years ago, they adopted a pit bull mix named Joy from an animal shelter. He got along well with the whole family, especially his two children, 6-year-old Emily and 10-year-old Jonas. Dogs and children were always together. They hiked together, played all day, and slept in the same bed at night.
One evening, Jonas told his family that he would take a bath before going home. The rest of the family remained in the courtyard. One day, the child’s mother noticed a strange sound.
When she entered the house, she noticed that the noise was coming from upstairs. As she stood up, she heard the annoying barking of her dog Joy. When the woman entered the bathroom, she saw Jonas unconscious with his legs dangling over the edge of the bathtub.
Joy tried to free him by pulling on his arms and hair. After a heart attack, Jonas passes out in the bathtub. Joy senses that something is wrong, so he manages to open the bathroom door, climbs in, and tries to get Jonas out of the bathtub.
Joy’s mother was horrified when she first saw Jonas having trouble breathing while training. However, she soon realized that the dog was only trying to save her life by preventing her from falling into her bathtub and drowning.
The woman immediately called 911, and an ambulance arrived soon after. Jonas was taken to hospital by paramedics and managed to save his life. Jonas is still alive thanks to Joy.
“Without Joy, I wouldn’t want to consider what could possibly happen to Jonas. My boy’s life was saved by Joy, and we will always be thankful. He will undoubtedly be rewarded with a lot of steaks,” stated his mum.
This is another example of how great dogs are and how much they adore their humans.
