Zeus the Pit Bull Terrier stood by the side of his companion Athena
She got her paw trapped on fence in Fulton County, Georgia
Zeus barked incessantly for two days, and managed to attract rescuers
The two have proved inseparable in an animal shelter, where they are up for adoption
She was just tall enough to stand on her forepaws while dangling in agony in a rural part of Fulton County, Georgia.

She was saved by animal rescuers, but only because Zeus stayed by her through the ordeal and attracted their attention with his incessant barking. The two terriers were taken in by a local animal shelter and have been inseparable while Athena recovers.
A spokesman for the Atlanta LifeLine Animal Project, which named the two dogs after Greek deities, said: 'We received a call from someone saying there was a dog hanging by her toe on a fence and that she had been there for two days.
'They knew this because someone had mentioned seeing them two days prior, but didn't tell the caller until the day they called us. 'Standing by the dog we named Athena was a boy we named Zeus.'

'I visited the dogs and Zeus was busy licking Athena's toe and protecting her from everyone who came by. Athena's toe is swollen, but we have her on pain medicine, and she is going to be OK'.
The LifeLine project is currently advertising Zeus and Athena for adoption, but says they want somebody who can take the two dogs together.
