A lucky boy who lives in Canada has reason to believe that guardian Angels do exist. It might not have wings, but it has four legs and fur. His very own dog named Angel just saved his life fighting a cougar. Indeed, he’s a Golden Retriever with a heart of gold.
On a Saturday evening, Angel. An 18-month-old golden retriever fought off a cougar to save his owner in the backyard of their home in Boston Bar, British Columbia, 130 miles north of Vancouver. Angel leaped into action after seeing the cougar charging her owner, 11-year-old Austin Forman.
Sherri Forman, Austin’s mom, mentioned that her son collects firewood from their backyard. She explained that Angel acts differently. Austin told her mother Angel acted cute by staying close to him in their yard, which was not his usual behavior.
On the contrary, she realized that Angel guarded Austin against an unknown danger. The moment the cougar revealed itself, it was already charging his son. Angel ran towards the cougar to protect Austin.
Sherri said that Angel blocked the cougar from reaching Austin, and he then ran to the house, panicking. She had to calm her son down to understand him saying that a cougar was in battle with Angel.
Angel fought the cougar under the family’s deck. Austin’s mother quickly called 911. Luckily, a constable was near the area and was able to eliminate the cougar safely.
Sherri’s nephew pulled the cougar’s body off Angel, who they thought suffered from extreme injuries. Angel took a breather and got up to check if Austin was okay, sniffing him to make sure. Despite suffering a few bites and scratches, Angel is safe.
Jack Anvik, the veterinarian at Sardis Animal Hospital, treated and ensured that the dog was safe. Sherri was thankful for Angel’s bravery and was happy that Angel was alive. Austin even went to town with his grandpa to buy him a massive steak as a token of appreciation.
After recovering, Angel was back to his normal state. A jolly golden retriever enjoyed his steak and showed that he was always happy in the comfort of their own home. Angel continues to protect his family up to this day.
