One morning, a 4-year-old child vanished from her backyard. For the past 48 hours, her family and neighbors have been searching for her in the nearby forest. The police arrived on the site and began asking everyone whether they had seen the girl, but no one had.

The parents were becoming increasingly anxious, fearful that something awful would happen to their little girl.
They looked for her all hours of the day and night, and the police went to every house in a 5-mile radius to look for the missing girl.
The girl’s odds of survival decreased substantially with each passing hour.

The neighbors noticed a stray pit bull crouching next to a tree in the midst of the forest on the third day of the search. When they attempted to approach, the dog began to growl, not letting anyone approach him.

When they looked more closely they noticed that the dog was trying to protect the missing girl. THEY FOUND HER!!
It is not known exactly how much time the dog spent with the girl in the woods, but it is clear that he was squatting next to her trying to warm her and protect her.

The girl was unharmed, but she was extremely hungry and dehydrated. She was taken to the hospital where doctors managed to improve her health.

And the dog was adopted by the girl’s family and they named him Joy.

Because he was able to protect the girl, the pit bull was declared a hero.

Nobody ever imagined that a dog’s instincts were so developed that he knew the child was in danger and instinctively wanted to protect the infant.
Joy, who proved once again that a dog is much more intelligent and more caring than we might imagine, is grateful to the girl’s parents.
