Not all heroes wear capes. Some of them have four legs and love wagging their tails. On April 14, many people learned about one of these heroes, an American pit bull terrier named Astro, who lives in El Paso (Texas, USA).
A man adopted a homeless dog who turned out to be a hero and saved his owner’s life Astro was a homeless dog who ended up in a shelter a year ago, where he was taken from by the current owner and his parents. The guy did not even suspect that someday the animal would save his life.
On April 14, the owner of Astro fell ill. It was only him and a dog in the house, so there was nowhere to wait for help. Then the dog ran out into the street, went to a neighbor’s house, brought him into the house and showed him what happened to the owner. The neighbor immediately called an ambulance, and the guy was quickly taken to the hospital. When the ambulance arrived, the dog tried to get into the car with his man, but they wouldn’t let him in. Astro had to wait for the rest of the family.
A man adopted a homeless dog who turned out to be a hero and saved his owner’s life Berta Martinez, the victim’s mother, admitted that at first she did not want to adopt a pit bull a year ago, but now her opinion on the dog has changed dramatically. “We never thought he could do something like this,” Berta said. The tailed hero received an award from the El Paso Fire Department (EPFD) and the Department of Livestock for saving his owner’s life.
