Dogs are amazing, and they prove it daily.
Their loyalty and bravery have been confirmed countless times so far, and it’s absolutely safe to say that it makes them heroes in our lives. They guide the blind, comfort us, perform exceptionally well in law enforcement, and are first responders behind enemy lines. They’re always with us when we need them most.

While everyone was asleep, it was Chase who first spotted the danger, and immediately jumped into action.
