Boas!
Um cão de rua que procurava por comida salvou a vida de um bebê abandonado em uma floresta no Quênia. A cadela levou a criança para junto de seus filhotes, segundo informaram hoje testemunhas.
O animal carregou o bebê de 3 quilos através de uma movimentada estrada em Nairóbi e atravessou uma cerca com arame farpado em um bairro pobre perto da floresta de Ngong, contou Stephen Thoya ao jornal Daily Nation.
O bebê foi encontrado na sexta-feira passada em um saco plástico, segundo Aggrey Mwalimu, o proprietário do local onde o cão está abrigado com os filhotes. Não foi esclarecido ainda como o bebê sobreviveu no saco sem sufocar.
Médicos que atenderam a menina disseram que ela foi abandonada cerca de dois dias antes do resgate. Foram encontrados vermes no cordão umbilical da criança, sinal de dias de negligência.
Segundo os médicos, a criança está estável e respondendo ao tratamento com antibióticos. No hospital onde ela está hospitalizada, os funcionários a apelidaram de Angel (anjo em inglês).

Heroic Pit Bull: Dog Finds Help For Injured Neighbor
By Gus Thomson, Journal Staff Writer
Move over Lassie. A pit bull terrier has shown Auburn's Jim Roach that heroic dog deeds don't just happen in the movies or on TV.
Roach fell from a 12-foot-high ladder while picking peaches last month on his rural Mount Vernon Road property. Dazed and unable to move because of his injuries, he soon found renter Jeanne Davis' two-year-old pit bull Gabby hovering over him and
barking.
"I was unconscious pretty much," Roach said Tuesday. "I remember a dog licking the side of my face and standing by me and barking and barking and barking."
But nobody came. That's when Gabby did the heroically unexpected and went for help.
About 100 yards away and not able to see or hear Roach, Davis heard Gabby furiously barking and thought perhaps someone had entered the property. But Roach's dog, also nearby, wasn't barking.
Soon after she first noticed the barking, Gabby emerged.
"She's barking and then she looks at me and runs back," Davis said. "It's kind of like something Lassie would do."
So Davis followed Gabby. She found her landlord injured and moaning in pain near the pruning ladder.
"I walked over to where he was and Gabby stopped barking," Davis said.
With Roach immobilized on the ground, a California Highway Patrol helicopter was dispatched to transport the seriously injured college instructor to Roseville Medical Center's trauma unit for emergency treatment.
Roach, a College of San Mateo instructor, said doctors diagnosed multiple injuries from the fall, including a fractured clavicle, four broken ribs, two cracked vertebrae, and bleeding on the brain.
A towel wrapped around his head, Jason Williams-style, probably saved his life when his head hit the ground, Roach said.
Roach said he spent a week in hospital. One of the first visitors after discharge was Gabby. He said the two now seem to have formed a strong bond as a result of the rescue.
A psychology instructor, Roach said that the incident is a good example of the more endearing side of pit bulls that doesn't receive media attention.
"I've never felt they've been given a fair shake," he said. "They're just a terrier."
Davis said Gabby was abused before she adopted her. She's been training the dog to become less apprehensive around people.
"A lot of people said to put her down, that she's going to do something bad," Davis said. "I'm so proud of my dog."

Pit Bull Saves Man's Life, Dies a Hero
April 26, 2001 Belmont, North Carolina, USA
Good thing Gaston County, North Carolina doesn't have a ban on pit bulls, or this man wouldn't be alive this morning.
Steve Carpacca, 41, was asleep in his mobile home at 3:15am when his pit bull ran into the bedroom and started barking frantically.
The man awoke to a room filled with smoke and immediately ran outside. When he realized that his dog had not followed him, he rushed back into the blazing trailer, armed with two 5-pound fire extinguishers, but the fire was already out of control.
Four fire departments responded to the call, and it took a total of 15 firefighters to douse the flames. The dog never made it out; fire crews found the little hero's body in the hall just outside Mr. Carpacca's bedroom.
Mr. Carpacca was devastated at the loss of his dog.
"The dog saved his life, absolutely," said Chief Dicky Harris with the Community Volunteer Fire Department. "If the dog hadn't been in the house, [Mr. Carpacca] would have been overcome by smoke."
It is believed that the fire was caused by an electric heater in the kitchen. Mr. Carpacca never heard any of the smoke detectors sound.
Rottweiler saves woman's life by calling 911
Friday, October 29, 2004
RICHLAND, Washington (AP) -- Leana Beasley has faith that a dog is man's best friend.
Faith, a 4-year-old Rottweiler, phoned 911 when Beasley fell out of her wheelchair and barked urgently into the receiver until a dispatcher sent help. Then the service dog unlocked the front door for the police officer.
"I sensed there was a problem on the other end of the 911 call," said dispatcher Jenny Buchanan. "The dog was too persistent in barking directly into the phone receiver. I knew she was trying to tell me something."
Faith is trained to summon help by pushing a speed-dial button on the phone with her nose after taking the receiver off the hook, said her owner, Beasley, 45, who suffers grand mal seizures.
Guided by experts at the Assistance Dog Club of Puget Sound, Beasley helped train Faith herself.
The day of the fall, Faith "had been acting very clingy, wanting to be touching me all day long," Beasley said Thursday.
The dog, whose sensitive nose can detect changes in Beasley's body chemistry, is trained to alert her owner to impending seizures.
But that wasn't what was happening on September 7, and Faith apparently wasn't sure how to communicate the problem. During Beasley's three-week hospital stay, doctors determined her liver was not properly processing her seizure medication.
Hurricane Katrina Rottweiler Saves Her Family
(by Lew Olson; reprinted from American Rottwieler Club website)
Hurricane Katrina resulted in many tragedies, including thousands of homeless dogs. Sometimes though, good things can result from even the worst misfortune. One of these dogs, Zoey, a Rottweiler, made her way from a shelter to the Friends of the American Rottweiler Club on September 26th. Zoey is approximately 18 months old and had recently lost a litter of puppies through a miscarriage. Both of her eyes were severely infected and she appeared to have damage to her face from being struck on the head. She was transported to a foster home with
Helen Garcia and nursed back to health and spayed. On November 19th, Zoey's luck turned around and she was adopted by Traci Colvin and her two children, in Seguin, Texas.
On the evening of December 10th, Traci's son Cory was ill with a respiratory infection. She had spent many hours trying to keep him comfortable and finally at 3 AM he fell into a restful sleep. Traci was grateful to finally be able to crawl into bed herself. At 5AM, Zoey began barking at Traci's bedside and would not stop when commanded. Traci wearily got up and assumed Zoey needed to go outside. When Zoey was let out, she just stood there and stared at Traci. Traci was more than annoyed and scolded Zoey and let her back into the house. Zoey ran barking down the hall and stood by the wall and continued to bark. When Traci went to see what was going on, she found the breaker box was smoking, and the cord running to the wall was smoldering and starting to melt. Traci quickly called for help and when help arrived was told that her mobile home could have quickly gone up into flames in a few more minutes.
Sometimes a good turn deserves payback, and good luck was brought to both Zoey and Traci Colvin's family. Traci reports Zoey has a home with her for life and she is very grateful that they found each other. The Friends of the American Rottweiler Club thank Traci for adopting this wonderful dog, and they also thank Zoey for being so persistent in awakening Traci to alert her to the danger.
Rescued Rottweiler saves young girl
Lisa Chavez-KTVB
Seven-year-old Mercedes Bedke plays with her dog Buster. The rottweiler is credited with saving her life after she fell of a horse.
If it weren't for their dog, their little girl may not be alive today.
NewsChannel 7 went to Oakley, Idaho for the rottweiler rescue.
Eight-year old Mercedes Bedke wants to be cowgirl when she grows up, this despite taking a near fatal tumble off her horse four weeks ago.
"Well, I remember I was down here, and when I got down here, there was mud and I was sort of galloping," said Mercedes.
The combination of speed and mud apparently caused her horse to slip as he tried to avoid the fence.
"BJ hit the fence probably," said Mercedes.
The problem is no one knew this independent little country girl was riding her horse, no one expect her new-found companion, Buster, a rottweiler bought for Mercedes by her grandparents.
"Mercedes had just been adopted, we'd adopted her and so we thought, well, we'd get her a puppy, but no puppies come available so we got a call from the animal shelter about Buster and went and picked him up and him and her bonded, I mean he does not leave her," said Phyllis Bedke, Mercedes grandma.
But on May 8th, he did leave Mercedes, just long enough to run home for help.
"I come back out to call her for lunch and Mercedes was gone and Buster was at the door of the house and I knew something then was really wrong," said Phyllis.
Buster, agitated and frantic, lead rescuers to Mercedes.
"My dad called me and said, you need to call 911, she is hurt bad and she's unconscious," said Phyllis.
Mercedes was badly injured. She was airlifted to Salt Lake City, where she remained unconscious for three-and-a-half days.
"Her whole right side of her head was collapsed, the skull collapsed into the brain. They told us we could be there three weeks, or three months in the hospital," said Phyllis.
In fact, this feisty little girl was back home in just a couple weeks. She's still undergoing treatment for her injuries, but appears to be making a remarkable recovery, with Buster by her side.

"He's got a spot with us forever, I tell you, if you hadn't been for Buster, we probably wouldn't have found Mercedes as fast as we did. It's going to teach us all something, don't take anything for granted in life," said Phyllis.
Mercedes, a second grader, isn't able to attend school or ride her horse until her head injury in further healed. She gets physical and speech therapy twice a week.

aliás o meu cão jamais vai andar na rua com açaimo, prefiro pagar a multa que ele seja o «saco de boxe», para qualquer cão com donos apalermados. 
Eu dispenso que os cães venham "socializar-se" com o meu, para isso eu escolho os cães com os quais o meu cão se socializa.
