A pit bull named Chako is recovering at home after being stabbed 12 times. He sacrificed himself and saved the life of his mom, who was being attacked by her abusive partner.
On Halloween, a Richmond, Virginia woman was being $#@!aulted by her abusive partner when her dog, Chako, stepped in.
“As any good dog would do, when he saw her in trouble, Chako intervened and came to her aid, trying his best to keep the attacker from hurting his beloved owner,” Ring Dog Rescue wrote on their Facebook page. “As a result of Chako putting himself in harm’s way, the attacker turned on him and stabbed him no less than a dozen times around the neck and chest.
“Chako was rushed to a local veterinary emergency center but the owner, who survived the attack thanks in part to her beloved companion, did not have the money to pay for life-saving treatment.”
When Ring Dog Rescue and Gracie’s Guardians were made aware of what happened, they banded together to fund Chako’s treatment.
“Veterinary expenses have already exceeded $3,000 which is a lot for two non-profit organizations,” Ring Dog Rescue wrote.
A PayPal fundraiser was started, and within a day all the necessary funds were raised.
