When we say that we don't deserve dogs, we really mean it. How many people can say that they would have done the same thing? Putting themselves in harm's way, up against one of their biggest fears, to help someone else? Not many. But dogs do it all the time.

$Maria Alex Beech @alexbeech When my mother was convalescing from a fractured femur, our dog Rita would run to my room every time mom sat up in bed at night. Rita would bark in my face and wake me up. I would then help mom with whatever she needed. When mom was well enough, Rita stopped waking me up. 1:59 AM Mar 25, 2025$

We love how many people decided to share their own stories following this meme going viral. We love how many stories there are to tell. Love, yes, but we are not surprised by it. Dogs are fearless when it comes to protecting the people that they love.
