A Minnesota family had a life-changing experience. Two years ago, they adopted a pit bull mix named Joey from an animal shelter.
He gets along well with the whole family, especially his two children, Emily, 6, and Jonas, 10. Dogs and children have always been together. They walked together, played all day and slept in the same bed at night. One evening, Jonas announced to his family that he was going to take a bath before coming home. Other family members remained in the yard.
The boy’s mother suddenly noticed a strange sound. When he entered the house, he noticed a noise coming from upstairs. As I went upstairs I heard Joey barking in discomfort. When the woman entered the bathroom, she found Jonah unconscious, his legs hanging over the edge of the tub.
Joey pulled her arms or hair to free her. After a heart attack, Jonas passed out in the bathtub. Joey sensed something was wrong and tried to force open the bathroom door and pull Jonas out of the tub.
Mom was shocked when she first saw Jonas pulling Joey toward him as he struggled to breathe. But he soon realized that he was only trying to save the dog’s life by giving him a bath and preventing him from drowning.
The woman immediately called 911, and an ambulance arrived a short time later. Doctors took Jonas to the hospital and saved his life. Jonas is still alive today thanks to Joey.
“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.
