We have all heard the phrase, ‘A dog is a man’s best friend,’ and, time and again, some heroic, watchful dog proves it to be true, beyond what words can describe. A few weeks ago, we saw how Jacky saved his master from a fierce tiger. Such incidents go on to prove that no matter what, your four-pawed friend will indeed be there for you.
