In this post i shall be sharing inspiring real life dog stories from around the world which I have read or come across.
The first incident is from Khammam in the state of Telangana, India and posted in Telangana Today news epaper dated 12 April 2020 and is reproduced below.
"Pet dog loses life to save owner from snake in Khammam".
Kishore, an RMP doctor in Kallur, had a pet dog, a pomeranian named Snoopi, which the family loved. On Sunday afternoon, Kishore was enjoying his siesta when a poisonous snake sneaked into his house.
Snoopi, which spotted the reptile slithering into the house from the backyard tried to stop it by barking at it. But the snake ignored the dog’s warning and moved ahead. Snoopi, worried about his owners’ safety, engaged the snake in a fight and suffered a venomous bite.
Meanwhile, Kishore who woke up following the noise, spotted the snake and killed it.
On relising that Snoopi had taken the snake bite in the process of saving him, rushed the dog to a veterinarian but it was too late. The incident shattered Kishore’s family and left their neighbours amazed at the pet’s faithfulness.
Next real life dog bravery story is from the state of Uttar Pradesh in India and published in New18 epaper dated 13 April 2019.
Brave Dog Dies While Saving UP Residents From a Burning Building, is Hailed a Hero.
In an unfortunate incident, a major fire broke out in a building in Banda, Uttar Pradesh, which further set off a series of gas cylinders. This led to four adjacent buildings being completely destroyed in the fire.
The dog, sensing the fire, started barking incessantly, which alerted everyone else in the building. Because of this, at least 30 people were able to make it out of the building alive. The dog, however, succumbed to the fire. He was in the vicinity when one of the cylinders blew off and could not be saved.
The fire started in a furniture and electronics showroom in the building, due to firewood which had been stored illegally in the building. This helped the fire spread, destroying goods worth crores.
It could have been a major disaster, but the number of casualties was reduced to a minimum, thanks to this dog who is now being hailed as a hero.

Brave dog dies a hero after fighting off tiger and giving his owner time to escape.
A COURAGEOUS farm dog is being hailed as a national hero after saving his owner from a man-eating tiger.
The brave animal sacrificed his own life in a fierce fight with the powerful big cat to give his owner time to escape.
Farmer Gurdev Singh today praised the four-year-old dog called Jacky for his ultimate sacrifice after villagers held a formal funeral for the animal at the weekend.
Mr Singh had been sleeping in the open outside his home in the village of Barbatpur - about 120 miles east of New Delhi - when his dog must have picked up the scent of a marauding tiger.
Jacky managed to wake Mr Singh from a deep sleep but, as the farmer was gathering his wits, the tiger attacked.
Before the forest predator could pounce on the farmer, fearless Jacky took the initiative, taking on the tiger and allowing Gurdev to get a stick and raise the alarm.
As Mr Singh's family rushed to his aid, the tiger escaped, dragging the dog away in its powerful jaws.
Jacky's body was found some distance away later and was given a formal burial by the village.
Mr Singh today paid tribute to his best friend and said Jacky's death had devastated his children, Supreet and Gulshanpreet.
He said: "Jacky's mother was a street dog and my children took it in four years ago as a pup.
