There was danger lurking in the yard that the alert canine saw.

Shepherds and Border Collies make wonderful family dogs. Bright, loyal and loving, great with kids, sweet dispositions and stable temperaments. We lost our 13-year-old Border Collie about eight months ago, still miss her like crazy.

I hope you brought the dog to the vet immediately. He is super good at his job!

I had a pitbull that did the same thing with me, i was going for a walk and Buddy my pittie pushed me backwards and fkashed ahead and took the strike of a rattlesnake not once but twice he protected me from getting bitten but gave his life to keep me safe. That is loyalty.

Dogs are amazing! My lab collie mix saved me and my baby from a charging bull moose that was only 75ft away from us on our walk! The moose stopped and stared at us when we saw each other, the pawed the ground, lowered his head (he had a large rack) and charged! I didn't even know my dog was outside at the time. She ran up and attacked him, chased him into the woods. I grabbed tge baby out of the stroller and ran to the house. My dog didn't come home for 3 hours. I though the moose killed her. She came back okay though.❤ Forever grateful.

Years ago, our adopted stray cat got in between me a a scary dog stalking towards me. It was late in the evening and our cat Androcles didn't back down. Dog ran away. Loved that cat.

We lived in the country and I had two Dobermans to protect the home stead both female. My daughter had just learned to walk. I left the patio door open for the dogs to get out of the rain. As I put my daughter down she took a few steps and the older doberman blocked her from going further and was acting like she was trying to talk, not barking. My younger doberman was jumping through the air back and forth through the open door. I was putting on my shoes but I stood up because of the odd behavior. And there coiled up just inside the door was a huge cotton mouth, spitting its tongue and throwing it's head back over it's body mouth wide open. When I read your story I thought of my daughter and her new son and how much I and my family would have lost. That day I changed as a human. God bless you. Here's to a long and fruitful future with dogs

Dogs are something else. I'm so glad Shiloh is okay. We had a rescue mutt growing up, you couldn't even tell what breeds were in this good boy. He killed two rattlers in our yard, one while my baby brother was outside playing. He left the other rattler dead at the front door. He somehow knew the poisonous snakes from common garden snakes which he left alone. Never got bit, and we were never safer than with that dog. RIP Zaccheus, you were the best boy.

Our dog protected my younger siblings (3, 5)when we were on vacation and he got bit and he also killed the snake. He ended up dying a few hours later. Still the best boy we ever had ❤️
(My siblings were not left unattended. They were a few feet away from us and that s when we heard screams and the dog growling)

Give that dog all the pats and all the steaks, pronto.

Having a dog is like having your own angel.

Definitely the genetics of the dog kicked in, an Australian Shepherd is a herding breed, you can see by the way he moves around the kids. He's always making sure the baby doesn't go certain directions it would have been the same as if that dog was out there with a herd of sheep and there was a snake the dog would have I herded of the sheep away from the danger. That dog is amazing to of taken care of his little owner the way he did. That pupper definitely deserves all the good boys and treats.

Mans best friend. You'll always be family.

[pookied.]

To him that's what he's there for. He's there to love them and protect them.
