To anybody who has ever criticized Pit Bulls for being a vicious breed…this story is for you!
A Pit Bull named Lilly is being hailed a hero after she pulled her unconscious owner from the path of a freight train.
Christine Spain was walking home with Lilly when she fell unconscious onto the railroad tracks in Shirley, Mass., the Sentinel and Enterprise reports.
After only a few short moments, a freight train was barreling toward Lilly and the unconscious Spain.
The engineer slammed the brakes, but because it’s a train, he couldn’t keep from hitting them entirely. When he hopped out, he saw Spain and Lilly were both okay.
The 8-year-old pit bull suffered a severe injury to her right foot and fractured her pelvis in multiple locations. She sustained other internal injuries but is okay overall.
Unfortunately, Lilly’s foot could not be saved and her right front leg had to be amputated, but her veterinarian said Lilly should be able to walk once she’s fully recovered.
According to WCVB-TV due to her age, Lilly must recover from the amputation before she can undergo surgery for her other injuries.
Despite the trauma she has endured, Fox News reports that the canine hero is on the road to recovery.
“I’m supposed to be the strong one. I’m supposed to be here for her, but she’s been so great, so tough through all this that it almost feels like she’s the one comforting me, being there for me and making me feel better,” Spain said
