The 2-year-old Alexander Kenny from Coffs Harbour, Australia must have an
extra guardian angel. But his runs on 4 legs!
The whole family is on a friend's property as the little blonde boy falls
into the water unnoticed. The 2-year-old loses his consciousness and begins to
sink under the water. His beloved Staffordshire bull terrier Leala jumps after
him and tries to pull the child out. When she is unable to, she races to the
house and barks like crazy to get the attention of Alexander's dad David.
She leads the dog to the water, where he sees his lifeless father
floating. He spends 27 minutes trying to revive his son, until the medics
arrive in a helicopter and bring the boy to the closest hospital in Brisbane.
There they put Alexander into an artificial coma. "The doctors told us
that we might never be able to take our son home with us. And even if so, they
suspected brain damage," remembers mom Linda Brockbank. "It couldn't
have been worse in the eyes of a parent."
But just 48 hours later the little fighter astonishes everyone: Alexander
begins to breathe on his own and can be awoken from the artificial coma! The
doctors can't believe how quickly the child recovered. "It is a total
miracle that he woke up on his own so quickly without any longterm
damage," tells his mother. Alexander can thank his luck to his father -
and the quick action of their dog Leala.
The 2-year-old is now back at home with his family and recovering
marvelously. Leala is the happiest, now that she can play with her best friend
again. "If it wasn't for Leala we wouldn't have our little boy with us
anymore!" Alexander's mother is certain of that.
What a brave 4-legged hero! Thanks to the quick instincts of the bull
terrier, the worst could be prevented for the 2-year-old. If the story of
Alexander and Leala also touched you deeply, then share it with all your
