Family dog ​​throws baby across the backyard and the reason why will surprise you

It turns out that dogs can be real superheroes

Most dogs are friendly by nature and would therefore not hurt a child easily. That’s what Catherine Svilicic from Australia thought when she decided to adopt a neglected Doberman. However, she was shocked when the Dobermann threw her 17-month-old child across the backyard a few days later.

Relaxing in the backyard

It is October when Catherine’s out enjoying a warm day in the backyard. Her young daughter Charlotte is having fun playing and next to her is the newest family member: Khan. Khan is the neglected Doberman who Catherine adopted four days earlier.

Neglected

Khan didn’t have a good life before he was adopted. The dog was mistreated by its previous owner and also received little food. Initially, Catherine was concerned about the dog’s character. She was afraid he might not be friendly. Still, she gave the dog the benefit of the doubt and after a few days she was convinced Khan was a sweet dog. He sometimes sniffed Charlotte, reacted well to other dogs and was always calm at home.

Yet after four days something happened that shocked Catherine terribly.

Scared for her life

Although Catherine thought Kahn to be a friendly dog, she never left the dog alone with her young daughter. She always wanted to keep an eye on him when he was with Charlotte. Although Kahn was fast asleep in the backyard at first, he suddenly became very restless. “Khan was suddenly very aggressive and tried to push Charlotte away. He didn’t succeed and then he grabbed her by her diaper and threw her three feet into the air. Like she was a doll,” the woman tells the Australian newspaper Adelaide Now.
Unbelievable

Catherine was shocked and ran to her daughter as quickly as possible. “Charlotte looked startled, and then Khan suddenly started howling loudly.” The woman then saw that a Pseudechis australis was lying next to the dog. This is the second largest venomous snake in Australia. “Then I realized that Khan was protecting my daughter from the snake.”
Miracle dog

Charlotte was unharmed and Catherine quickly took the dog to the vet. There he was given an antidote and Khan is now fully recovered. “He risked his life to save my daughter’s. From now on Khan is our Miracle Dog.”
