A two week old abandoned baby found by dog at Winkongo, near Bolgatanga GNA

Ghanda news agency

This is a hero dog that found a human baby and protected the baby and kept it warm.



Searchers were looking for the dog. They found him under a bridge with the baby.

The police are investigating, but the dog is not talking.

oh wow
Jean R B. Jun 8, 2012, 10:41pm UTC
I think the dog just knew what he had to do.

Incredible!
Jean R B. Jun 8, 2012, 10:42pm UTC
It seems that way to me too. Peter

Dogs can do wonderful things.
Jean R B. Jun 8, 2012, 10:43pm UTC
Yes they can, any pet is capable of saving a human.

Wonderful story.
Jean R B. Jun 8, 2012, 10:46pm UTC
Yes, I am so glad I found the story. We don't usually have a hero dog.
Terry M. Jun 7, 2012, 7:55pm UTC
What an awesome story!
Jean R B. Jun 8, 2012, 10:48pm UTC
I am glad that you liked it Terry.
Rae M. Jun 7, 2012, 8:09pm UTC
That is truly an amazing story.
Jean R B. Jun 8, 2012, 10:51pm UTC
The article actually focused on who abandoned the baby. The baby may not have survived the cold without the dog to protect and keep it warm.
Wonderful story
Jean R B. Jun 8, 2012, 10:51pm UTC
Thank you so much, Renee.
Janet "Jax" B. Jun 7, 2012, 9:20pm UTC
How can someone just abandon a baby like that.
Jean R B. Jun 8, 2012, 10:55pm UTC
In different countries, it is a sin to have a baby without being married. Some countries will stone the woman to death. Other places the young mother would be thrown out on the street.

Heartwarming! I'm so glad that dog came along and protected the child.
Jean R B. Jun 8, 2012, 10:57pm UTC
I am too. Maybe he heard the baby cry. I don't know.
Steph-in-NE ..... Jun 7, 2012, 10:48pm UTC
cool for him friend for life
Jean R B. Jun 8, 2012, 10:59pm UTC
The Health authorities have the baby and probably will adopt it out.
Rose T. Jun 8, 2012, 2:46am UTC
WoW! What a true God thing! All creatures have a purpose and the dog's was to be there at it's appointed time! Don't ya just love to see God's work!
Jean R B. Jun 8, 2012, 11:01pm UTC
God must have told him where to go. His owners missed him when he did not come home and got a seach party together for the dog.
Rose T. Jun 8, 2012, 2:50am UTC
Hmm clicked in but wasn't your story about the savior dog, but I trust it is a true story as we will and are seeing more of these happenings these days. ;O)
Jean R B. Jun 8, 2012, 10:37pm UTC
Yes it is a true story of the dog saving the baby.
Crin Forbes Jun 8, 2012, 7:13am UTC
And they call the story of Romulus-Remus and the female wolf a legend...
Jean R B. Jun 8, 2012, 10:38pm UTC
So true, Crin.
That was wonderful Jean. I wonder if it was a US Service train dog.
I guess I should go read. :) Thaks for posting this.
Jean R B. Jun 8, 2012, 10:38pm UTC
It just said farm dog.
It was just the heart of that dog. not the training :)
You're right. It is so touching. I can't imagine how the baby got there. Hope they weren't trying to get rid of a newborn they didn't want.
Jean R B. Jun 16, 2012, 12:50pm UTC
It was close to the river. It could have been in the water. As I said the dog is not talking. So I don't knpw.
Ed Da Head Toker Jun 9, 2012, 2:51am UTC
It was on the national news.
Rats! I'd like to have seen it. Thanks Ed.
