HERO DOG 🐕 I've heard of a little boy years ago wandering away from his family home and their FAMILY DOG STAYED CLOSE to the CHILD to PROTECT HIM so the child WOULDN'T BE ALONE. LOOKS LIKE THAT HAPPENED IN THIS CASE ALSO. HOPE FAMILY ARE ALSO PRAISING THE DOG FOR STAYING WITH THE BOY TO MIND HIM SO HE WOULDNT BE ALONE. DOG must get some treats and pampering foe staying loyal to the little child and never leaving his side...please dont forget your dog!!! So glad your son and dog are home safe... happens in a blink of an eye. God bless you all and your HERO 🐕 DOG 🐕 💙

DOG 🐕 WAS A HERO TO STAY WITH HIS HUMAN BROTHER ALL THE TIME. HOW MUCH MORE SCARED 😱 THE BOY WOULD HAVE BEEN HAD HE 'NOT' HAD HIS FAMILY DOG WITH HIM FOR COMPANY. PARENTS PLEASE APPRECIATE AND SPOIL YOUR DOG...LET HIM KNOW WHAT A GOOD DOG HE IS FOR STAYING BY YOUR SONS SIDE ALL THW TIME NO MATRWR WHERE YOUR SON WONDERED. HE WAS LOYAL TO YOUR LITTLE BOY AND TO YOU PARENTS BY TAKING CARE OF YOUR SON NEVER LEAVING YOUR SONS SIDE!!!! THATA SOME SERIOUS INTELLIGENCE AND LOYALITY ON THE DOGS 🐕 PART.
A VERY LOYAL CLEVER 🐕 DOG.
HERO DOG.

"Rescued him"?
They found him in the woods two blocks from his house.
Not exactly like pulling him from a burning vehicle.

It is nice to see a story where the cop is the good guy. Normally I've been seeing all the "Auditor" videos where cops act like a-holes and it grows tiresome. NJ Police try to assassinate a black guy on the Garden State Parkway a few years ago and get fired and charged with conspiracy. and there are other such stories. This one is a good story with a happy ending.
