Labrador Retriever Saves Little Girl
Here’s a heartwarming news report about Junior, a dog that saved a 3-year-old girl by keeping her warm when they were trapped inside a wrecked car during a snow storm in Hokkaido:
While driving along a river in the neighboring town of Urausu, however, he accidentally drove off the road, sending the car rolling down an embankment. When the rolling stopped, the man and the girl found that they were unable to move.
The car was found the following morning several meters below the road, resting on its side with a broken window.
When they went down to check the car, police officers found Junior cuddled up to the girl and licking her cheek.
The humans suffered only minor frostbite on their feet despite outside temperatures that plunged below zero during the night.
Junior received a gold medal for heroism from the local government. He’s also apparently had his meals upgraded to a more expensive brand of dog food.
