Pit Bull Dragged His 7-Month-Old Sister By Her Diaper Out Of The Family’s Burning Home
An 8-month-old pit bull in California is being hailed a hero after she alerted her family of a fire in their apartment complex – and then saved their 7-month-old daughter by pulling her by her diaper, writes fsrn.
For the most part, babies and dogs are a great combination to have in any home. However, when it comes to dog breeds, Pitbulls are often judged as not being a family-friendly breed. But anyone who’s owned one knows that isn’t true.
These dogs have an aggressive appearance but they are actually huge softies who look out for their families and protect them from harm.
One example of their gentle yet protective nature is the story of Sasha and how she rescued one of her family members from a fire.
One mother in California learned that first-hand after her family underwent a major tragedy.
A bit of background on Sasha :
Sasha is an 8-month-old pit bull who was born just before her 7-month-old human sister. These two little ones grew up together and the family viewed the dog like any other member of the family.
According to their mother, Lantana Chai, the baby and the dog take their naps and their baths together.
One night, Sasha sensed something was wrong.
Suddenly, Sasha, who was outside, started barking and banging against the backyard door.
Confused, Chai let Sasha into the house. Chai wasn’t sure why the normally calm dog was barking so much.
Chai went outside to try and figure out why Sasha was so upset.
She quickly discovered the reason: her neighbor’s house was on fire.
“As soon as I got to the door, she runs in (and) starts barking, and I’m like, ‘What the heck is wrong with you? Like, you don’t do this,’” Chai told KCRA. “I looked up and there’s black smoke coming from my neighbor’s house. You can see the flames coming out.”
Latana Chai and her child Masailah were chilling at their home when their neighbor’s house suddenly went up in flames.
The fire then began to spread to Latana’s home, but she was completely unaware of the impending danger – until her pitbull Sasha began barking.
Chai lives in a four-plex, and since her house and her neighbor’s house are connected, she knew it wouldn’t be long before the fire spread to her house. Chai ran into the house and sprinted up the stairs to Masailah’s room.
When Chai got to Masailah’s room, she saw that Sasha was already in there. The pit bull was attempting to drag the baby out of the room by her diaper.
“I ran into the room and I see Sasha,” Chai said. “She has my baby by the diaper just dragging her off the bed — trying to get her to safety.”
Chai grabbed Masailah and Sasha and ran out of the house. Once they were all safely outside, she called 911. As they waited, Chai pet Sasha and thanked her—if Sasha hadn’t alerted Chai to the fire, she might not have gotten out in time.
“She saved us all,” Chai wrote on a GoFundMe page. “She is our hero. Without her, we probably would’ve never made it out.”
After Chai’s story went viral, a reporter asked her if Chai thought of Sasha as part of the family. Chai had the perfect answer:
“She’s always been part of the family. Now she just gets steak!”
“It meant a lot. I owe her everything,” Chaichanhda said of Sasha. “If it wasn’t for her, I would have still been in bed and things could have taken a worse turn.”
Thanks to this heroic dog, the family has enough of a warning to get out in time and avoid disaster.
This actually isn’t that uncommon.
Animals are known to occasionally save human lives. This happens with both domesticated animals and wild animals.
Sasha is a brave, loyal dog who was determined to save the people she loved from danger. If you want to learn more about Sasha, check out the video below :
