Dog Saves Owners Life | S3 E01 | Full Episode | I Shouldn't Be Alive

[@helgashubat8238]

Being fearless does not protect from accidents. This dog is a hero.

[@turtlepower4lee]

A dog saves his owner.

He knew, that she saved him from the pound. Animals know, kindness.

Pride. Success brings pride and so does a feeling of invincibility and believing ones self to be their own god.

Taz was awarded the 25th National Hero Dog award by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals - Los Angeles

Good

[@kayhollings1777]

What a resilient, trooper of a woman!! Not many people would have had the willpower to get through those days and nights. Taz was definitely a beacon of hope for her throughout, and clearly her saviour in the end, what a gorgeous boy, but she is a seriously, both mentally and physically, strong person.

[@Splashstar216]

This always gives me goosebumps. She doesn't give him enough credit! Taz definitely knew what was going on the whole time. He's an extremely intelligent doggo! It gave me chills how Taz left her the water until he knew she no longer needed it. 💕

[@randyrobertson4686]

I hate when I hear someone say an offhanded remark that dogs and or animals are stupid. They are smarter than I can ever imagine we will ever know. I have heard many accounts of dogs or other animals showing just how intelligent they are. They communicate on a whole different spectrum than we humans understand. They are beautiful creatures and should be cherished. Just look at this video as one of many examples. God bless you and your beautiful dog. Thanks for this heartwarming story I really enjoyed watching it.

[@mariasosa5233]

Taz was the smart one in this situation. she’s running with out a running partner in the wilderness n told no one. not smart,

Dogs are amazing beings i once had a yorkie and for a couple of years it was just me and her and we went through everything together i cant truly explain it but often times its almost like she was a bit human she was a house dog but for awhile i fell on hard times and had to keep her outside she would run away at night and in the am i would catch her running back down the street home. She was very intelligent she knew when it would rain and all sorts of strange things.

Nope she's prideful. Her body legs and own abilities were her idol and god... And then she got humbled in the most obvious way. Twas a beautiful thing to see actually.

Kinda what I was saying in my comment. Very prideful. Praised and made an idol out of herself and body especially legs and endurance and then boom...... No longer able to use them at all.

[@AngelinaParker1]

Yep prideful and ignoring instinct. I truly believe that rescue teams shouldn't risk their lives or go over and beyond for people who put themselves in such ridiculous warned prior to situations. Id say for her yeh go rescue her but there have been other ones where rescue people go find someone who was ridiculously prideful and 100% made the choice to go into the abyss. Those people shouldn't endanger others for their mistakes. And yes if a loved one was in the same situation I already know id say go search for them but I think y'all get my point

[@angumil1674]

Amazing woman....

[@dougdonaho]

Such an amazing story! It's wild to think that the smallest decisions that we make in every day life can have an impact somewhere down the road. If she doesn't pick Taz out of all those other dogs or if the woman looking at him first takes him before she can then her outcome could've been completely different. I know that it would've more than likely changed her life in a way that she may not have went on a run that day but you know what I mean. Just say if she gets another dog and everything else is the same then it just amazes me to look at how our choices in life no matter how small can have such an impact on us and people around us. I'm so glad this ended well.
