Blacky’s actions are the best proof of how wonderful dogs are. And we humans sure can learn a lot from them.
In late December, A hero dog named Blacky came to the rescue of an ᴀʙᴀɴᴅᴏɴᴇᴅ baby in the mountains of the Philippines. Blacky’s kept barking at bikers nearby until one stopped to follow the.
Junrell felt like something wasn’t right here, so he decided to follow the dog. It led him to a small pile at a nearby garbage dump. The biker checked that pile and quickly realized the dog just helped him save a life. The dog probably stumbled across the poor baby on one of his food runs and took it upon himself to find a human who could help it.
The biker stood shocked for the moment but quickly got it together and took the baby to the local police station. Luckily, the baby was okay and in good health. And it was all thanks to the wonderful, intelligent and courageous dog – now named Blacky’s
When the story of the stray dog’s heroism spread to the local news, volunteers with the rescue Hope for Strays rushed into the mountains hoping to find the helpful pup. Instead, they came across a man who claimed the dog, named Blacky, belonged to him.
“He showed us the way to his home and to our surprise, Blacky was there with three other dogs,” Ybarita said. “We’ve confirmed he is not a stray at all.”
The rescue workers were relieved that Blacky had a loving home, but it was apparent the dog and his family still needed help.
“[Blacky’s owner] stated, ‘No matter how hard life is, even though I’m poor, I feed all of my dogs and take care of them well,’” Ybarita said.
Blacky and his family have since received an outpouring of support from the community, including donations of food, pet supplies, and more. While Blacky may not know it, he’s changed the future for himself, his family, and one very lucky baby girl.
