Having a dog around a small helpless baby is a situation that can cause concern for some people, especially when it comes to certain dog breeds with a reputation for being “aggressive”.
Probably top of this category is pit bull dogs as they are often viewed as unpredictable and sometimes dangerous.
But one California mom has her pet pit bull to thank for saving her and her baby’s lives.
Mom Latana Chai says baby Masailah and pet dog Sasha were born just days apart and spend every moment together, sharing a bed and even a bath.
But their bond was about to become even stronger when a a fire broke out in their neighbor’s home.
It was around midnight one Saturday night when Latana noticed Sasha behaving very strangely.
“I heard like, a loud bang and I was like, ‘what’s going on?’ I heard Sasha crying and she kept jumping at the door. As soon as I got to the door, she runs in and starts barking,” Latana said, according to Kare 11
