Another Hachiko

Do you remember Hachiko ? The Japanese dog who waited for his dead owner for about 9 years. His utmost loyalty towards his master was very much surprising. We usually don’t expect such intense sentiments from animals. But apparently, dogs are different. And if you still have apprehensions regarding that then check out this unbelievable story about a dog who traversed all the possible limits to save the life of her owner. She’ll remind you of Hachiko for sure.

Story of Disbelief

Jim Cooper an old man living in Sandy, Utah has an interesting story about himself and his pet to pass on to his forthcoming generations. This happened in 2017 when 82-year-old Cooper got a serious ailment that would have proven life-risking.

A Dog Named Thibodeaux

It was 2:00 a.m in the morning when Jim was fast asleep with his wife Judy on their bed. But the room had one more occupant. It wasn’t long ago when the couple had adopted a dog-an Australian Shepherd Heeler-mix puppy.

The First Impression

Initially, this dog failed to impress Jim. He was reluctant to keep the animal at home and even pondered over sending her back from where they had brought her within a week.  But Jim decided to give it one more chance and with his wife started to give crate-training to their pet. Perhaps the best decision he made ever.

She Had Found Out Something

On the evening of the incident, Thibodeaux was sleeping in the bedroom of her owner.  And the couple should thank their lucky star for that because had she not been there, something hideous would have taken place that night. It all begun when Thibodeaux awoke Judy in the wee hours.

Darkest Hour

A whining noise disturbed Judy’s sleep. At first, she failed to figure out the reason behind it. She thought perhaps his husband is seeing a nightmare. But the whining did not stop so she reached over to Jim to ask what was wrong, but all she could manage to get was peculiar silence.

Heart-Wrecking Moment

Judy sensing a problem leaned over to turn on the light. The sight she perceived left her in the doldrums. Jim was still lying in bed, but Thibodeaux was sitting on top of him. And that was not an amicable scene at all.

Down The Memory Lane

Judy recounts that horrible moment and speaks about the dog  “on all fours, just sitting on [Jim’s] chest.”  The puppy was looking and whining for Jim. That must have been a shocking sight to behold for her.

The Deathbed

The sight jolted her out of her perplexity and she figured out that her husband is in danger. In fact,  she immediately realized that she needs medical assistance for his husband without a delay. Consequently, Jim was taken to hospital in time.

Deadly Disease

Later it was found out that Jim had a stroke. It occurs when the blood supply to a section of the brain is stopped, depriving the tissue of oxygen and important nutrients that are usually transported there via the blood, making stroke second largest cause of death globally.

In Time

Luckily Jim and Judy got through it without a harm. All credit goes to the doctor and Thibodeaux. The day would have been different for the couple had their pet not acted in time.  The dog was only seven months old when the incident happened. 

They Call It Rare

Jim’s doctors revealed that it is difficult to save stroke victims and very fortunate few of them recovers from this. The prime reason behind doctor’s failure to save the victims is the delay in bringing the patient to the medical assistance. But that wasn’t the case with Jim. He was taken to the hospital early enough to meet such fate.

A Dog In Help

Judy is greatly thankful for their dog and finds herself lucky to have her. Had the dog not noticed and whined in the bed, Judy would have failed to register that tragic transpiration. And her ignorance would have had Jim cost his life. She says “I guess I would have woken up the next morning and lost him,”.

What Happened At Night?

Interestingly Jim doesn’t remember the incident. However, Judy told him everything about that and how he owes his life to Thibodeaux. She goes on to say “Without [the dog], he wouldn’t have made it,”.

A Hero

From there on Jim sees his pet differently. Now he has high regards for her. He calls her a hero and believes she should be awarded a medal. She deserves that.  

A Decision Not Followed

Despite being proven wrong by his dog, he loves her a lot. He says  “Quite honestly, I was about to take her back the first week,”. But he delayed that for some unknown reason. How lucky he must be considering himself now to not to follow his decision. The dog has proven her worth.

“She’s A Good Dog”

Thibodeaux, who succeeded in changing her owner’s mind about her is now a proud member of the family. “She’s a good dog,” says Jim. He took some days to recuperate and his pup was always there with him during the recovering stint and after.

Loyalty Knows  No Bound

The loyalty of dogs is not only limited to Jim’s life. Bob another dog owner owes his life to his dog. The pet of Bob from Michigan helped him to stay alive. While going out to fetch some firewood, Bob slipped and fell, resultantly broke his neck. It was freezing outside and no one around to hear his scream. He wouldn’t have survived without his beloved dog. 

A  Warm Hug

The temperature was quite low and Bob had not worn a lot of clothes to keep himself immune from cold. As he thought he would be out for a few moment only. But he, unfortunately, met with an accident and failed to get up. His dog Kelsey seeing his master in trouble swung into action and covered him by lying on the top of him to keep him warm. Along with that, he barked continuously to get help.

Alive Because Of Him

Luckily, It was only after, 24 hours, they received help. They got it only because his neighbor managed to hear his dog’s hound and called 911. Although he had to spend his days in rehab after the accident. He survived the tragedy only because of his dog. Bob, just like Jim considers his pet a true hero ever since.
