We are in the city of Canelones, in Uruguay and in a shack, on the night of Monday, 14 May 2018, a young woman gave birth to a baby, abandoning it soon after and fleeing. In fact, as reported by the local press, the young woman, who suffers from multiple mental disorders, had not informed her family of her pregnancy and, after giving birth, had gone to a health center claiming to have had a miscarriage.

Fortunately, there was Rottweiler dog living there, that is described by his owners as a dog "of good character, very devout, obedient and docile"! This Rottweiler was the first to find the newborn baby boy and, unexpectedly, to take care of him all night, trying to warm him with his body. But not only!
In fact, the following morning the dog alerted the newborn baby's grandfather by barking and led him to the baby. The man found the newborn baby still attached to its umbilical cord and, after wrapping him in his jacket, he rushed the baby to the hospital.
Thanks to this four-legged hero, the newborn baby managed to survive! And you, do you know any other stories of brave dogs?
