A caring American Akita felt something was wrong with her pregnant owner, even when doctors said otherwise
Dogs are amazing creatures; they are capable of many things beyond human control. Dogs can smell, even if its source is inside the human body. This allows them to sense when their owner is ill.
One dog proved her love for her owner in an unusual way. She used her sixth sense to help a woman.
Keola is an American Akita dog who lives with her owners in England. The owner took good care of her pet, and Keola was considered a member of the family.
Recently, Keola found out that her owner was pregnant. The dog was overjoyed, but couldn’t shake the feeling that something was going wrong. The woman began to suffer from lower back pain. She discussed the severe back pain with her doctor, but he said it was a side effect of pregnancy.
She went home believing the pain was caused by the growing fetus. Although she believed the doctor, Keola knew better.
The dog sensed something inside her mistress. The girl noticed that the animal was acting strangely, but she didn’t understand why.
«When the doctor sent me home and told me there was nothing serious going on, the dog stared at me in a way that even scared me,» Alana says.
«I took a picture of Keola and posted her picture on social media with a humorous caption about the movie ‘Hachiko,’ a story about a dog where the dog does that, too. But to my surprise, my friends started advising me to take the situation more seriously.»
As time went on, the dog continued to worry. The owners realized the animal had something to say.
«No one knew I was seriously ill, no one knew, but Keola knew. She was pushing me and crying, but I just couldn’t understand why she was doing it.»
The woman took her pet’s alarming signs seriously. She went to the hospital again and was admitted to the emergency room that same day.
Doctors stated that the woman was on the verge of death. It turned out that the mother-to-be’s kidneys were badly affected by the infection. And her lower back was hurting due to reflected pain.
To make matters worse, the girl had a rare type of infection. If she had gone to the doctors a little later, it would have been impossible to save the woman.
Thanks to the dog, she was able to survive and give birth to a healthy baby. A baby with a beautiful guardian angel named Keola!
