Baby's best friend: Heroic dog saves young child by lying in its way to stop it crawling into the sea

 

A dog became the hero of the day when it saved a baby from going into the water on a beach in Turkey.

 

In a true display of what it means to be man's best friend, the dog was filmed coming to the rescue when the child crawled towards the waves.

 

The pet dashes after the child heading for the sea, and lying down in the baby’s way.

 

The child is seconds away from the shoreline when the dog stands in its way, stopping it from reaching the water.

Guide Dog Dies After Incredible Act of Loyalty, Self-Sacrifice

 

A guide dog’s life is one of service. And a boxer trained as a seeing-eye dog, belonging to an Atlanta man, committed the ultimate act of service, laying down his life for his family.

 

The dog named Simon helped lead legally blind Dave Furukawa for four years, but died after a car accident Monday where he helped helping protect his owner’s son, Will.

 

Furukawa told the local news station he was walking his son to school when a car ran through a stop sign.

 

The 80-pound dog pushed the child out of the way, but was hit by the vehicle himself.

 

Furukawa was hit as well.“What people have said is that Simon either got up or jumped out, and pushed my son out of the path of the car,” said Furukawa.

 

Furukawa told WXIA the dog did get up and followed the boy who was rushed home, but “once he was sure Will was okay, he laid down.”

 

Simon died with a broken leg and internal injuries as his family took him to the vet.

 

WXIA reported police saying Calvin Armour was charged with running the stop sign and failing to yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk.
