Owners and their pets are able to create a strong connection that is rarely understood. But in the case of a stray dog, one can’t expect it to play the role of protector for a complete stranger, can we?

In August, a story surfaced of a stray pit bull who literally put his life on the line to save a woman in Baldwin, Georgia. The homeless dog was wandering the streets when he encountered the woman fighting with a man. Incredibly, when the man took out a knife to attack the woman, the pit bull intervened, getting stabbed a whopping five times but succeeding in scaring the man away and saving the woman.

After authorities were contacted, the pit bull, who was aptly named ‘Hero,’ was rushed to a vet’s office after-hours, where he underwent emergency surgery. He even died twice on the table, but miraculously, the brave pup pulled through.

After being treated, Hero was delivered to Fighting for the Bullys, a pit bull-rescue center in Tennessee, headed by Carla Patton Welch.

“They almost lost him, but they got him there [to the vet] just in the nick of time,” Welch told WBIR.
