This story is awe-inspiring as it tells us not of an ordinary rescue but something that is somewhat unbelievable. But we must never underestimate the capacity of dogs.
Shannon Lorio had a previous argument with her husband. As she planned to cool her mind off a little, she decided to drive alone as that's what she usually does.
But this time, it was different. Events turned for the worse and changed Shannon's life forever.
While traversing the windy country road, she suddenly lost control over her car and crashed in a ditch by the roadside. She was thrown through the car's rear window.
Badly injured, Shannon found herself waking in and out of consciousness. She could hardly move.
She was fully aware that no one was there to extend her any help until suddenly, she felt the hot breath of an animal on her face. When she opened her eyes, she saw a German Shepherd.
Unknowingly, Shannon had met her hero at that very moment. Read along to know how this hero dog saved Shannon's life.
Shannon and her savior are happily reunited after she recovered from the incident that nearly took her life.
As she passed out and came back to her senses, she noticed that she was being dragged. Now named Hero, the dog dragged her to over 100ft at the edge of the road to find help.
Luckily, a passing car took notice and brought Shannon to the nearest hospital.
I DON’T KNOW WHEN I CAME TO, BUT WHEN I DID COME TO, I FELT HIS HUGE PRESENCE. I COULD FEEL HIS BREATH. THE DOG…
I DON’T KNOW HOW HE CAME ACROSS ME, BUT I THANK GOD THAT HE DID. - SHANNON LORIO
Here's the amazing dog, Hero.
Although Shannon wasn't able to keep Hero, he now found his furever home under the care of Heidy Drawdy, a rescue trainer.
Shannon tried to find her savior soon as she recovered but he was all gone. It took her quite some time before she saw him and took him to the Humane Society.
Now, Hero is a certified search and rescue dog, which is something that he specializes in.
THIS DOG, HE DID EVERYTHING. HE’S AN AMAZING ANIMAL, HE REALLY IS. - SHANNON LORIO
For Shannon, 'Hero' is forever her hero.
HE SAVED MY LIFE WITHOUT ANY TRAINING. AND TO THINK WHAT HE COULD DO WITH THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF TRAINING, HE COULD BE SAVING MANY MORE LIVES.
I TOLD HIM, ‘YOU’LL ALWAYS BE MY HERO.' THAT’S WHAT EVERYBODY STARTED TO CALL HIM.
AND THAT’S HOW HE GOT HIS NAME. - SHANNON LORIO
While humans get to interpret mostly in this world by what we see, dogs interpret theirs through smell, and they can sense danger.
They have the strongest sense of smell and how Hero knew exactly that Shannon was in danger is proof of that.
Now, Hero puts to use his skills being a certified and bonafide rescue dog!
