Dogs prolong life

Tweet

I have been around dogs for my entire life. Growing up I can always remember having some sort of dog walking around the house. I currently own 2 dogs one that is a dachshund and a chihuahua. I tend to keep smaller dogs because it makes it easier to find a place to rent when they are discrete. In my experiences with dogs I find if you raise them right then they will do great by their owner. I once had a German Shepard and pit mixed dog that actually saved my mothers life. He was a playful little puppy that always wanted to run. Well one day my mom took him out on his leash and he tugged on it like he normally did. After she got done walking him she started to develop a pain in her chest and went to the ER that night only to discover she had fluid around her heart that had formed in a way that no one had an idea bout her condition. She had 2 liters of fluid drained that night. The doctors later told my mother that if my puppy had not pulled on his leash when she was walking him she would have died that night from drowning in her own fluids. Needless to say it was the dog that prolonged my mothers life and stopped an tragic death from occurring.
