Pitbull Saves Family from Fire, Drags Out Sleeping Baby by Her Diapers

We all know how pitbulls have a rather bag reputation, especially because they have long been branded as fierce dogs. This is something that is often magnified in news reports and social media posts that share incidents of how pitbulls and similar ‘fierce breeds’ harmed some helpless person who wasn’t doing anything to the dog.

But many of these ‘fierce’ pitbulls have proven that the breed is not always bad. As someone had put a long time ago, “There are no bad dogs, only bad owners.

Nana Chaichanhda of Stockton, California got a pitbull at about the same time she gave birth to her daughter, Masailah. She was a bit hesitant at first because of the many stories she heard about pitbulls but she just fell in love with the puppy she named Sasha.

From the time she brought Sasha to the house, she felt free from worries because the dog was always gentle with the baby. Sasha gets along well with Masailah, even having no trouble sleeping beside the kid and playing with her. They even take baths together and have a lot of fun.

Usually Sasha sleeps beside single mom Nana and baby Masailah but there are times she prefers to sleep outside, especially during warm nights.

One summer evening, Nana decided to let Sasha sleep outside because it was another hot night. Little did she know this would save their lives.

Nana and Masailah were fast asleep when Sasha began barking incessantly and scratched at the door, doing her best to wake her humans up. At first, Nana ignored this as the dog had never done it before; she thought it was a neighbor’s dog. But Sasha continued barking and howling that Nana went outside to check.

When she opened the door, Sasha barked even louder and frantically ran to the bedroom. Nana was even more confused, but she was surprised to look outside and see that the house next door was in fire! The fire was already licking at her house.

Making a frantic dash to the bedroom to save her daughter, Nana was surprised to see that Sasha was already dragging the child by her diapers in an obvious attempt to save the kid! Wow.

Quickly, Nana picked the baby up and ran outside, with Sasha trailing behind. She hurried to call 911. While the house next door and hers burned to the ground, they were all lucky to be alive. It was a good thing her neighbors were not around at the time – and it was really great that Sasha was sleeping outside and was able to save them just in the nick of time…
