The story of how a dog adopted from an animal shelter saved a little girl in Michigan has become one of the most popular and talked about among Facebook users. Delta Animal Shelter reports that in April 2017, a dog named Petunia was brought to the shelter with two broken legs and ribs. The dog was taken in and given a new name: Peanut. Her previous owner was prosecuted for animal cruelty.
Peanut came to a new family, from where the news came of how this dog saved the child. The letter states that around 11 a.m. on March 20, Peanuts “started going crazy”: she ran up the stairs barking, whining, and begging to be let out.
As he stood at the door, the dog ran into the field behind the house. The owner went to where Peanuts had stopped and saw a naked girl, about three years old, curled up in a ball. The man threw a sweater over the child and took her home, then called 911.
When medics and police arrived, the girl only uttered one word: “Doggy.” Peanut’s owners believe the dog may have developed a “sixth sense” due to a difficult childhood. According to media reports, the girl’s life is not in danger at this time and she is doing well.
