Often wrongly identified as a slightly terrifying breed of dogs, pit bulls are some of the most loving and motherly dogs. Dogs in general have a long history of being life saviors in dire situations, and pit bulls are no different.
It had been just another night in the Chaichanhda household. Everybody went to bed, as usual, the parents in their room, and their toddler in her room. What they didn’t know was an impending accident and a heroic act that would be etched in their memory forever. The tragic turn of events made an impact not only on the apartment but on its residents too.
When Nana Chaichanhda’s apartment in Stockton, California was on the verge of burning down from the fire, their eight-month-old pit bull turned the hero for the family. Sasha the pit bull was outside but began to bark at Nana’s door, very much out of character for her. She was quick to sense the fire in a neighboring apartment and promptly started barking, trying to warn everybody.
Nana had never seen her dog barking so loud before. She knew that something was wrong. As Nana came out of her room, she realized a fire was ablaze. Nana instinctively went to grab the little one from the other room, as would any mother. With the apartment burning down, Nana had to make her way to the room where her seven-month-old girl was in.
Much to her shock, she found Sasha there. In this chaotic situation, the brave dog had reached the toddler even before the mother. Sasha had managed to climb on the bed of the sleeping baby and grabbed the waist of the baby’s diaper. She was determined to pull her out of her bed and carry her out of the apartment that would crumble any time. She kept pulling at the diaper when Nana saw them.
Nana was quick to grab both the baby and the pit bull as she dashed out of the fire-ravaged apartment.
This heroic dog turned savior not only for her owner but also for the owner’s little girl. She managed to get the kid out of the room while Nana carried both of them out after that. The dog didn’t hesitate to go through the fire to save a life.
Thanks to the daring and loving pet, the family survived the ordeal. The fire left their apartment inhabitable. A cousin of Nana’s that lived in the same building also suffered from the same fire. Together they’re now living with an aunt who resides in the same building complex as them. The woman has taken them all in and is thankful to the pitbull for saving her granddaughter as well.
The Stockton Fire Department is investigating the fire breakout. They’re yet to determine the cause of the midnight fire which disrupted many lives of the building.
The entire locality is in awe of the pit bull, while before the incident, most of them had little or no trust on the dog. They seem to understand the breed better and have taken to it very amusingly. They’ve been all praises for Sasha the savior.
