In a heartwarming yet tragic story from Merauke, Indonesia, a devoted family dog became a hero by sacrificing its life to protect its owners from a burglary.
Achy Wijaya awoke one morning to find his beloved dog in a dire condition in the garden. The previous night, Achy had heard the dog barking loudly but paid little attention, assuming it had simply spotted a cat.
Unbeknownst to the family, a group of thieves was attempting to break into their home during the night. The dog’s insistent barking was the only warning they had.
The barking suddenly ceased, and tragically, in the morning, the dog was found near death, lying in its own vomit that suggested it had been poisoned.
The family made desperate efforts to save their pet, offering milk, oil, and coconut milk, but the dog was too weakened and sadly, it passed away.
In his grief, Achy filmed the last moments of his brave dog to honor its sacrifice and to remind others of the importance of paying attention when their dogs bark.
The story serves as a poignant reminder of the loyalty and courage that dogs often show toward their human families.
