What could be worse for a parent than an accident with his child?
This story could have a terrible ending if not for the dog Leal. It all started with the fact that a married couple came to visit their friends with their little son. Little Alexander was playing in the yard near the pond and nothing bad seemed to happen when Leal suddenly saw that the boy was lying face down on the water!
The faithful dog immediately rushed to the rescue but she failed to pull the unconscious boy out of the water. She ran into the house and began to bark loudly attracting the attention of the adults.
When the dog led them to the pond Alexander’s pulse was barely palpable. They have been trying to save the boy’s life for half an hour with the help of the artificial respiration and chest compressions.
The doctors who arrived at the scene of the tragedy weren’t the most optimistic people. They prepared the parents for the worst and they said that the child couldn’t be saved or he could became disabled because of the brain damage.
Sasha’s father later said that at that moment he felt only a terrible mixture of sadness, horror and disbelief in what was happening around. Everything that happened to him was like a slow motion filming.
The boy’s mom felt the same way. The police, the ambulance, and the dying child are a ghastly picture for any parent.
After being 2 days in a coma Sasha regained consciousness and it was a real miracle for all the medical staff!
The child’s dad is now constantly repeating that if it were not for a loyal dog then they wouldn’t have the slightest hope of saving the child.
This story is another vivid confirmation of how smart, loyal and brave creatures are the dogs. Leala’s big heart and courage saved the young boy’s life and saved the boy’s parents from the most terrible tragedy – the loss of their child.
