A pit bull named Duke became a hero by making a gesture that amazed an entire community.
The McNally family in Montana adopted Duke from a dog shelter when he was only 8 months old. The parents and their 5-year-old son, Robert, are passionate about nature and go on long hikes in the mountains whenever they have the opportunity. Duke loves hiking and enjoys every time he goes with his family through the woods or to the river.
One day, the parents, Robert and Duke set off for the mountains, hoping to reach a cabin before dark. Towards evening, they stopped to rest a little, near a forest road. The two husbands sat in the shade of a tree, and Robert was playing nearby when suddenly, they saw Duke jumping at full speed on Robert and knocking him to the ground. The child’s father got scared and immediately ran to see what was happening. Robert was lying on the ground crying, and Duke was barking loudly.
