A dog that was rescued 6 years ago and given a chance at a wonderful
new life has returned the favour in the best way possible. On Sunday
night Duke, a normally obedient dog, jumped on the bed of
Jenna Brousseau. He was shaking and jumping around, which woke
up Brousseau and her husband who
were at first confused by his strange
behaviour.
But confusion quickly turned to alarm when they realized he was
quivering uncontrollably. ”He is insanely obedient, so this is
extremely bizarre,” Brousseau said. They immediately went to check on
their 9 week old daughter, Harper, and found that she was not breathing.
”My husband called 911 and the ambulance came here and it was because
of our Dukey dog, who alerted us,” said Brousseau.
Harper was taken to hospital after being revived by paramedics and is
now doing well back at home. This is every parents worst nightmare,
and because of Duke’s incredible instincts and persistence, Harper is
alive and well today. It is also a testament to the Brousseau’s for
paying attention to Duke’s behaviour, which was extremely out of
character for him.
Jenna Brousseau believes that Duke understands what they did for him
when they rescued him and truly wanted to return the favour. They also
want to share their story to encourage others to rescue a dog and give
it a second chance at a happy life.
