Many stories of loyalty and sacrifice of dogs for their owners have made international news. And, more recently, another story of this incredible love has moved hundreds of people to tears.
Jeco Macs, the owner of Moana, posted the story on his own Facebook page. He was watching TV when he heard Moana barking in the yard and saw the dog biting and pulling a cobra down the stairs.
Macs quickly destroyed the snake, relieved that Moana’s actions had saved the whole family. He had no idea the dog had been bitten by a snake at first, and he’s bragging about Moana’s accomplishment on social media.
“Moana, I love you.”You are truly a hero! You are responsible for saving your family. Respect your dogs because they are incredibly smart and will risk their lives to save you. Because they value you more than anything else in their life.”
In the accompanying image, Moana is depicted smiling with a dead snake. This dog, however, died suddenly a few minutes later. It didn’t take long for the puppy’s happiness to turn into grief. Moana was killed by the cobra before her owner’s family could take her to the vet.
This story immediately received a lot of attention from the Internet community. It currently has more than 46,000 shares, 48,000 likes and 18,000 comments testifying to the admiration and compassion for the bravery of the little dog.
The dog died fighting the poisonous snake and preventing the cobra from entering the house, where it could attack any member of the family at any time. The second snake was killed as a result of the fight, but the dog could not escape the powerful poison of the snake, which seeped deep into the dog’s body.
The image of the owner documenting the last moments of his little dog’s life, when he happily wags his tail before closing his eyes and dying forever, is devastating.
Moana, the heroic little dog, is a cross between a Shi Tzu and a Chihuahua, and she was only one year old when she sacrificed herself to save her owner.
Although they are not of the same species and cannot speak each other’s language, their love is the same as that of a family. People’s devotion to this faithful animal touches their hearts, allowing them to understand that those who take care of them are their family.
