3. Kabang the heroic dog
Dogs are known to be one of the most loyal among animals. They wait for their owners to come home and play with them. Sometimes they even risk their own lives to save their owners’.
Kabang – the dog owned by a family from Philippines became a hero when she saved two children from being hit by the motorcycle. She came in front of the motorcycle to block the path and ultimately injuring herself badly, but she saved the children. She even lost a part of face and jaw. The family was asked to keep her at the vets for euthanasia, but they refused. The public donated $20,000 and some more for her surgeries. The vets said that she will need at least two operations before she becomes fit, but they believed she could be recovered. What a sacrifice!
