Hero pup who lost snout saving kids beats cancer

Kabang, the sweet hero pup who lost her snout last year bravely saving two children reportedly has beaten cancer! The protective pooch soared to fame when she jumped in front of a speeding motorcycle in the Philippines. The move spared her owner's daughter and niece but she lost her upper jaw in the process. A global outpouring earned Kabang a trip to the U.S. for reconstructive surgery, but when she arrived, docs found an aggressive cancer. News that she's beaten it brings joy to our hearts, nudging her closer to surgery (though she still needs intensive heart worm treatment). Happy New Year, Kabang. [Source]
