Carla Welch may have been in real trouble if she hadn’t been saved by a courageous 7-year-old pit bull appropriately named Hero.
Though he managed to separate her from the attacker, Hero was stabbed five times and rushed to the local Baldwin, Georgia animal hospital by police officers arriving on the scene thanks to a call about the disturbance.
After learning of the pooch’s survival from Facebook, Carla from the Fighting For The Bullys pit bull rescue in Knoxville, Tennessee raised all the money to pay for his medical bills – all which had been discounted by the vets in honor of Hero’s bravery.
