Mom's Guide Dog Saves Her Baby From Being Hit by a Car

Mom Jessica Crowley is thanking her lucky stars after her guide dog saved 
her baby's life by pushing his stroller out of the way of a car that was 
heading straight for it.

Jessica is registered blind, and her black lab, Jet, has been by her side 
for five years. While getting ready to cross the street pushing her son 
Jacob's stroller, she heard the screech of a car coming in their direction. 
And just before it hit, Jet broke loose from Jessica's grip and knocked the 
stroller out of the way. It did fall over and the baby wound up with a cut 
on his lip, but if it weren't for Jet's quick actions, something much worse 
could have happened.

Jessica says that Jet loves little Jacob as if he were her own, which is 
evident based on how she reacted when she realized he was in danger. Who 
says a dog can't have mama bear instincts -- even if a human baby is the one 
she's trying to protect? It's amazing how even though she's trained to 
assist Jessica, she immediately switched gears and came to Jacob's rescue.

I'm sure this mom keeps replaying what happened over and over again in her 
mind -- I know I would if my son had almost been hit by a car. And I don't 
know how I'd ever be able to give that dog enough love and praise to thank 
her for what she did -- though something tells me dogs do what they feel is 
right without expecting anything much in return.

What a blessing it is that Jessica had Jet with her that day. I'm sure every 
time she hears her sweet baby boy's voice, she's once again reminded of what 
a gem of a dog she has in her life!

Is your dog protective of your baby?

Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may 
kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at 
evening.--Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.
