Kelly Andrew a writer from Boston tells a story about how her four-legged friend Henry saved the life of her 9-month-old daughter
Image credits: KayAyDrew Image credits: KayAyDrew Image credits: KayAyDrew In an interview with Good Morning America, Kelly Andrew mentioned that every time she shooed Henry away, he would go back in as soon as her back was turned. Fortunately, this behavior was not usual for their pet, so it captured their attention just in time for them to rush their baby to the hospital: "She wasn't clearing her airway. She started to turn blue and go rigid, and she just really couldn't get air." At the hospital, doctors were able to clear the baby girl's airways and made sure that she was well enough to come back home. The couple didn't spare kind words towards their furry friend and mentioned that he will receive an additional gift this Christmas. Image credits: KayAyDrew Image credits: KayAyDrew "[We're] definitely spoiling the dog a little bit more," said her husband Jeff. "He was allowed to sleep in bed with me last night, and he's got a steak in his future." Both parents are very proud of the Boston terrier who acted on his intuition: "He's never done anything quite so heroic before," Kelly said. The post quickly went viral, receiving thousands of likes and retweets with users sharing their own stories. Apparently, there are plenty of pets who did heroic acts in order to assist their humans. Whether it's saving a child from SIDS, helping people cope with depression and mood swings or dealing with seizures, people flooded the thread with tales about their little friends.Her story went viral and many users started tweeting similar experiences

Animals never cease to amaze me. *Hug* 75 75points reply View More Replies... View more comments The question is, how do our pets know that there might be something wrong with us? Well, dogs are known for their sense of smell and people have taken advantage of this ability for hundreds of years-from hunting, detecting drugs and explosives to tracking down diseases. According to science writer Mia Rozenbaum, "Dogs' sense of smell is so subtle that they can notice the slightest change in human scent caused by disease." Dogs are already known for detecting cancer, malaria, Parkinson's disease, COVID-19 and more. For example, "Canines proved to be able to correctly pick out the scent of children infected with malaria parasites 70 percent of the time, from socks they had worn all night," she wrote. #2 DigitalDragons Report Final score: 259points POST Agnes Jekyll Agnes Jekyll Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago OMG.

View more comments Apparently, they are able to sniff out signs of illness even before a person gets sick. Rozenbaum said there's been research where dogs were able to pick up biochemical changes in the body that would lead to a narcoleptic moment. They notified the humans in advance so that they would get to a safe place and avoid getting injured. Also, when it comes to people who have diabetes, dogs can assist with knowing when the blood sugar level is spiking or dropping. #4 rvwriteroregon Report Final score: 230points POST Yy Yy Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago He looks like a very competent protector! 57 57points reply View more comments #5 LifesABeach6786 Report Final score: 221points POST WildHoneyPie WildHoneyPie Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago Small dog, big heart 51 51points reply View More Replies... View more comments Even though there's been plenty of research showing that dogs are able to bring different diseases to light, it will take a while for them to be used in the clinics. "Researchers mostly still don't know exactly what chemical compounds dogs detect to alert to the presence of the disease," Rozenbaum explained. "Knowing more precisely what the dogs are noticing would allow their training to be standardized, but even then the skepticism of the medical community might prevail. Not all doctors would want to rely on a dog to make a diagnosis." #6 twiggs501 Report Final score: 214points POST glowworm2 glowworm2 Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago I love it!

When you get a dog, you have to take it for a walk at least twice a day, and there's no way of avoiding it. Increased physical activity strengthens your body and spending more time outside makes you calmer and generally happier. #10 lmaoooooooo123 Report Final score: 187points POST Dwight k schrute.

She likes to sleep cuddled up to one of us, but will only sleep for a short time if no one else is awake so she can do rounds. If someone is awake, she’ll zonk right out. As soon as you go to bed, she’s up and patrolling. 30 30points reply View More Replies...

One is almost 8 and my other is just a baby, 5 months old. I rescued both of them. In October, I got covid. I couldn't do much but sleep. I woke up one time and my boyfriend said, do you know the kitten doesn't leave your side until you wake up. He told me that she gets up on my side and stares at me the whole time I asked him, why is she doing that.. He looked at me and said, she knows your sick.. They both do it when you sleep, they want to make sure your ok. You saved them both, they love you. ? 26 26points reply View More Replies...

POST Miukuu Miukuu Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago When I was a teenager, I was deeply depressed. Every night, when everybody else were sleeping, I would cry for hours and often harm myself. Our dog started to sleep next to me every single night. If my door was closed, she would cry until I let her in. If I was crying, she sat in my lap and licked my face. She made me feel less lonely and she was always ready to cheer me up when I needed it the most. I'm sure she knew how much I needed that. She passed away year ago and I miss her so much. I would give anything to see her again, even for a minute. She was my best friend and she saved me. 30 30points reply Agnes Jekyll Agnes Jekyll Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago Hello Miukuu--what a lovely friend.

I tried to take care of them at least wasn't always able to when only 6-13yrs old Humans are extremely lucky to have animals in our lives, especially one's that take care of us when we need them so deeply. ? Glad a special one found you and you her! 2 2points reply Potato Potato Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago This reminds me of my cat that I had as a teen. I also had a very deep depression back then, and I would often get really bad anxiety at night. My cat normally didn't sleep in my bed, but every time I laid awake with anxiety or woke from a nightmare she would come and cuddle up in my arms with her head just below my cheek, and lay there purring until I calmed down and started to fall asleep. I had her for 13 wonderful years and she helped me through so much. 4 4points reply Rocio Palacios Rocio Palacios Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago I had a similar situation in my late teens.
