Undoubtedly, our canine companions have an unwavering love and loyalty towards their owners. However, the recent incident is truly heart-wrenching as a brave and devoted dog sacrificed his life to save his family. The incident occurred in Merauke, Indonesia, where Achy Wijaya found his dog almost lifeless in their yard one morning. Achy had heard him barking the previous night.

Reported by NtdNews, Achy was deeply saddened upon discovering that his dog had been deliberately poisoned. He shared on his Facebook page that the burglars did not rob their home because their dear dog kept barking, but they found out about the poisoning when they left the house in the morning and discovered their dog’s tragic fate.
Based on the tragic information gathered, the family shared that while they were asleep, a group of burglars had planned to rob their house. Their canine began barking loudly, but everyone dismissed it, assuming that the dog had found the cat. However, the dog’s barking ceased abruptly, and the next day, the family found the dog in near-death condition, lying in its vomit with froth around its mouth, indicating that it had been poisoned.
The family had intended to seek medical assistance for their pet, but since they live in Papua, the local veterinarian typically cares for livestock and was closed due to Sunday. In an effort to save their pet’s life, the family tried giving him milk, oil, and coconut milk, but he became too weak and eventually passed away.
As Achy grieved over the loss of his courageous dog who sacrificed himself to save his family, he decided to capture the last moments of his loyal companion on video. He did this not only to honor his pet’s memory but also to remind pet owners to take notice when their dogs bark as it could be a warning of danger.
