The story happened in the Svilicic family’s home in Cairns, Australia.
The pair has a 2-year-old kid together.
They eventually decided to have an animal as well.
People came upon an adult Doberman named Khan at the animal shelter.
Catherine and her husband welcomed the sad puppy into their household without hesitation when his prior owners abandoned him.
Something happened four days later that forever impacted the attitude of the couples toward their newly-created pet…
On this particular day, the dog was playing in the yard with his owners’ young daughter, Charlotte.
The Doberman appeared to get along well with the girl.
But then he bared his teeth and roared, grabbing the kid by the diaper and leaping to the side.
The terrified lady raced to assist her daughter, but it turned out that the dog had not attacked her, but rather had protected her!
A hazardous poisonous snake was creeping where the baby was frolicking just a few seconds ago.
The heroic dog saw it and reacted quickly, saving Charlotte.
Unfortunately, he was bitten by the snake.
The girl turned out to be quite healthy and unhurt, and Khan received prompt veterinarian assistance.
The dog was given the antidote and recovered promptly.
The pair is enamored with their new family member, who has also proven to be a true hero!
