Dog Goes Viral On Twitter After Saving Sick Infant By Going Back And Forth In The Nursery And Alerting The Mother
Henry was supposed to be the quiet family dog, not the one making a scene in the nursery. But one night, the skittish Boston Terrier kept slipping in and out of the room until his owner, Kelly Andrew, finally followed him.
Kelly’s 9-month-old baby was sick and sleeping when Henry started acting strangely, and at first it just looked like stubborn behavior. Instead, it turned into a frightening emergency that sent the family rushing to the hospital and left Kelly grateful she listened to her dog.
What happened next is the kind of story that makes people look at their pets a little differently. Read on.
This is how the story was posted
Kelly noticed that her baby was struggling to breathe and was rigid. They tried using suction to help her baby breathe, but she began turning a bit blue, necessitating a rush to the hospital.
They spent the night there, and the doctor suctioned out all the congestion from the baby. She was relieved that they got to the hospital in time to receive help and was thankful that Henry alerted them to the situation before it worsened.
Kelly decided to share her story on Twitter, where it went viral, and she received many kind messages. Pet lovers shared pictures of their pets to show appreciation for Henry and shared stories of how pets truly are heroes.
