Dog Helps Save Colt's Life After It Begins Suffocating During Birth in the Middle of the Night

Many 🐕Dog lovers acknowledge canine companions possess an uncanny sixth sense, but not all 🐕Dog lovers or owners get to see it in action.

Marie Hurley of “Hillbilly Haven” farm in Tappen, British Columbia, Canada, was witness to that very phenomenon last month when one of her dogs, a large breed known as a South African boerboel, woke her up in the wee hours of the morning on June 24th.

“At 1:50 in the morning, all of the sudden this little girl shoved her nose into my shoulder so hard and went ‘woof’ just like she meant business. And I leapt out of bed and she looked at me like this and she took off down the stairway and out into the yard,” Hurley told Global News.

“I saw the mare had had her foal and it was making this horrible, horrible noise — it was a snoring noise … just horrible, so when I went out, like I’m running and I can see that the amniotic sac had not broken. So this poor little thing was like in a bag … and you could see the sack sucking into the nostrils and he was smothering to death.”
