A farm dog in Ghana has attained hero status after spending a night protecting an abandoned newborn human. Authorities say the dog, along with its two-week-old charge, was found under a bridge in Winkongo (which is near Bolgatanga, the Upper East Regional Capital of Ghana), near the farm where he lives – with the tiny baby snuggled against him.

A search party had been convened to look for the dog, not the baby, when the pooch's worried owner got concerned that he hadn't returned home in the evening. Searchers spent most of the night tracking the hound through nearby fields and woods, and came upon the unlikely pair quite some time later; finally locating him under the bridge near the farm he calls home, they were surprised to find the dog curled around a human infant.

Wow thats really amazing! Although on another note it makes me so mad that parents just abandon their kids in random places, at least drop them off at an adoption agency or on the front steps of a trusted neighbor or acquaintance! Thank god that dog was there.

>>2 it's in Ghana, Africa. Things are just different there.

Reminds me of the story of Romulus and Remus, lol

Bump.

That dog has earned hero status for doing this. Forever that dog has earned the title: "Man's best friend"
