They noticed their freshly adopted pitbull biting from their newborn baby’s bed in the middle of the night. When they looked closer at the baby and realized what the dog had done, they started crying.
One family, the Robinsons, had a 6-year-old son, and when the wife became pregnant with their second child, they chose to relocate to a larger house in a remote location where they planned to build a farm. They weren’t allowed to keep a pet at home because they were renting a small apartment before purchasing the house, but now that they had their own place, they really wanted to get a dog.
Desiring to adopt a dog from a shelter, they went to see some and as they were hearing the individual stories of how each animal got there, they came onto Benson, a timid Pit Bull.
Regretfully, Benson didn’t have an easy life. After being used for fighting for a long time, he was abandoned on the streets. He was terrified to even raise his head and had already lost confidence in people when volunteers found him. He was adopted by a family after spending some time at the shelter, but his joy lasted for just two weeks. His lack of friendliness led the family to conclude they didn’t want him.
After hearing this, Mrs. Robinson realized she needed to give him an opportunity for a better life. After being adopted, Benson behaved strangely at first but quickly warmed up to Mathias, the family’s son.
When the baby was born, Benson only showed love and affection.
But the family did hear a lot of barking coming from the baby’s room one night. When they saw Benson biting the crib’s ribs, they hurried to see what was happening. They initially thought the worst since they thought he intended to harm the child, but in reality, he was acting in the exact opposite way. It found out that Benson was trying to reach for the baby when she stopped breathing.
After her family hurried her to the hospital, they were told that she would undoubtedly die if Benson didn’t alert them of the baby’s condition. Thank goodness, that did not occur.
Mrs. Robinson never imagined that Benson would save her child’s life after she had saved him by rescuing him from the shelter.
