Hero Dog in Chile – Dog Saves Dog on Highway

May 15th, 2009



A homeless dog in Chile has performed a selfless act of animal heroism. A street dog from Chile made international headlines when he risked his life to pull an injured dog off a busy highway. The hero dog bravely dodged traffic in order to drag his injured friend to the side of the road. A traffic camera caught the amazing heroic act on tape.

After watching the YouTube video, many people are searching Google wondering what happened to the critically injured dog on the highway – did the injured dog live?  Chilean Officials have stated that the injured dog has sadly died. The incident happened in March, and police have given up on their search for the hero dog who tried to save his friend’s life. This is truly one of the most amazing heroic animal stories I have ever seen.

Want to Help Homeless Street Dogs?

If you want to help street dogs in developing countries, you can support the Humane Society International’s Street Animal Welfare campaign. This works to promote a humane philosophy of animal control in nations around the world.

Another great organization is the International Fund for Animal Welfare. This Community-Led Animal Welfare program provides veterinary services (which include spaying and neutering) to pet owners in some of the world’s poorest communities.

Toby is a 2-year-old Golden Retriever who was awarded for being a heroic animal.  This hero dog found his owner choking and he performed a modified version of the Heimlich Maneuver.

Toby found Debbie Parkhurst choking when her dog jumped on her chest and dislodged the apple that was stuck in her throat.

Toby the hero dog received the ASPCA Dog of the Year Award after saving his owner’s life. Toby used instinct, bravery and loyalty when he saved his owner from choking.

Golden Retrievers are known for their unwavering kind temperament and their dedication to those who love them the most.  In like manner, it is not surprising that a dog like this would be credited with saving someone’s life.
