Rescued dog returns the favor and saves his family's newborn

Six years ago, Duke was an abandoned pup, desperately waiting to be saved from a local animal shelter. When his heroes finally arrived in the form of the Brousseau family, the pooch apparently never forgot the kindness. Jenna Brousseau says she and her husband were sound asleep last week when the shelter dog ran into the room, jumped on the bed, and started "shaking uncontrollably." He is typically mild-mannered, so the pup's hysteria alarmed Jenna, who went to check on the baby. There, she discovered the couple's 9-week-old daughter Harper not breathing. They called paramedics, who successfully revived the infant. Brousseau says the baby is alive because of Duke. [Source]
