the dog was supposedly looking for some food for her new born pups when she came across a 2 week old baby girl in a forest in kenya. She took the infant, wrapped in a dirty black cloth and carried it across a busy road and through a barbed wire fence and placed it close to her puppies. A witness says, that she heard the sound of a baby crying, and when she looked close she saw a dog carrying a baby as it crossed the road. The owner of our hero, said, her dog lay next to the baby and cared for it until it was spotted by human rescuers.The owner washed the baby, whose umbilical chord was covered with maggots.After cleaning the baby, she rushed it over to the hospital. At the hospital, the child was christened Angel.Docs confirmed that the baby had been out in the open for atleast two days after being abandoned. It makes me wonder what match a heartless human who is cold enough to abandon a child is to a dog who is capable enough to save a child!!

Stories like this make me wonder why we are so proud of being human beings. Many times we call someone an animal to insult them but there are more and more cases where animals prove they are definitely less heartless and cruel than humans. So what exactly is the advantage of having an education and being able to speak when we dont have a heart?
