Meeting someone new is quite a daunting experience, especially for those people who don’t like to socialize. However, once you get to know the person, you’re off to a good start at establishing a possibly lifelong friendship.

With this, an adorable puppy takes socialization on the next level as she befriends a toy pig that her fur mom introduced to her. However, as it’s the pup’s first time to meet the toy pig, it’s quite inevitable that she becomes wary of it.

Who’s that, Mom?

In this video footage, a cute puppy named Dolly gazes intently towards the camera. By the looks of it, there’s something that caught Dolly’s attention, prompting the curious pup not to take its eyes off the object.

A few seconds later, Dolly’s fur mom presents a spotted toy pig to the pooch. Before the curious puppy deciphers the object’s identity, Mom starts pressing on the pig’s body to produce a honking sound.

This event ultimately piqued the dog’s interest, prompting her to approach the toy pig and even take a few sniffs. But, it seems the toy pig’s still a bit daunting to the pooch as Dolly chooses to step back for a bit.

Stay away from me.

The moment Dolly stepped back from the toy pig, she then started barking energetically at it, as if such a bark could entice the pig to respond. Seeing this scenario, Mom once again presses on the pig’s body to produce the honking sound.

The sound of the pig’s honking ultimately made Dolly all the more curious about the toy. As such, Dolly decides to abandon all fear and once again approach the pig.

It is believed that dogs have a sixth sense. They feel when something good or bad is about to happen. Most humans rely on their dogs to tell them if something is about to harm them so they can prepare. These four-legged angels know that it is their duty to protect their humans. It’s a task that they don’t take lightly.

Protection from the fire

It was a beautiful Sunday night at Latana Chai’s house in Stockton, California when the unthinkable happened. She was sleeping soundly when a frantic sound disrupted what was supposed to be a good night’s rest. Chai traced where the sound was coming. Her search led her to Sasha, the Pit Bull, who was barking and throwing herself at the door.

Chai was about to scold Sasha for disrupting her and her daughter Masailah’s sleep. Well, that was the plan, until she figured out that the Pit Bull was trying to tell her something. Sasha dashed inside the house the moment Chai opened the door. That’s when she discovered that the Pit Bull had a reason for waking her up.

Her neighbor’s house was engulfed in flames. The fire slowly spread to Chai’s house, and she knew she could no longer afford to waste any second. Sasha understood the urgency of the situation; she ran towards Masailah. In her attempt to rescue the baby, she grabbed the diaper and dragged her human sister off the bed.

Safe and sound

Chai carried Masailah and followed Sasha, who led the way outside the house. The firefighters came after Sasha called 911. It took them a while to put out the fire. The damage was extensive, but all of the residents managed to survive. They’re all grateful for Sasha. Her sixth sense, courage, and loyalty saved their lives.

One Monday in Tampa, Florida, a kindhearted soul heard animal cries coming from a nearby trash bin. The good samaritan then sought the help of the local police. Authorities from Tampa Police Department and Hillsborough County Animal Shelter wasted no time and rushed to the aid of the unidentified crying critter.

A worried mother

Upon reaching the scene, authorities discovered a frantic female dog, desperately trying to tear open a trash bag with her paws. Sensing the humans meant no harm, the dog allowed the authorities to help. Soon, the mother dog’s 1-week-old puppy was liberated.

Tiny lives saved

Despite its emancipation, the puppy was still not safe from harm. The puppy’s still-undetermined length of stay inside the unventilated confines of the bag caused it to suffer heat exhaustion. Luckily, the authorities were able to help it cool off with the use of ice cubes.

After finding the puppy’s siblings in a nearby shed, authorities brought the litter and their mother to the Pet Resource Center. There, the dog family was immediately put in the care of Hillsborough County Animal Services.

Given that they were still relatively young, the puppies and their mother were made to stay with the aforementioned animal services. There, the mother and her litter were cared for until they are old and strong enough to be adopted.

Search for the culprit

Even if the dog family has been saved, authorities were eager to know how the puppy wound up inside the trash bag. The police launched an investigation in hopes of finding out who was behind the cruel abandonment of the mother and her puppies. A combined reward of up to $3,500 was offered by Crime Stoppers of Tampa and Florida Voices for Animals for any information that would lead to an arrest.
