The amount of love and loyalty inside a dog’s heart is beyond measure and this story is yet another touching example. Meet Guluva, a superhero dog that knows of no fear when it comes to protecting his family.
This heroic story happened in Mitchells Plain, Cape Town, South Africa.
The heroic act happened during a quiet night when his owner’s sister was arriving home together with her boyfriend. They were parking the car in the open gate when thugs approached them and told them to surrender the car keys.
That time, Guluva was inside the yard. Amazingly sensitive of strangers, Guluva leaped through the scene and bravely attacked one of the armed men.
His owner was shocked to hear the screams of his sister after a gunshot. Running to the scene, he thought that his sister’s boyfriend was shot. He was heartbroken when he saw that it was actually Guluva, his beloved dog, who was shot.
One of the thugs shot Guluva in the face and hit him right in the nose. The owner thought that it was the boyfriend who got shot for Guluva was still running around when he approached the scene.
The thugs were so threatened by Guluva that they quickly ran after firing a gunshot. Guluva triumphantly saved the day for the thugs ranaway emptyhanded.
Upon rushing to Guluva, his owner saw that he was heavily bleeding. He was then rushed to the local Animal Welfare clinic.
The shot immensely damaged Guluva’s tongue and jaw. But the vets are happy to report that Guluva is strongly recovering. They have full faith that he will make full recovery in no time given that he’s been eating very well and has been responding positively to treatment.
Police authorities assured Guluva’s owners that animal cruelty charges are to be filed against the thugs in addition to the carjacking attempt.
We are so happy that Guluva is recovering well! Keep on fighting Guluva! You’re a heroic good boy!
