One morning, a 4-year-old girl vanished from her home’s yard. For the past 48 hours, the family and neighbors have been searching the adjacent woodland for her. When the police arrived on the scene, they began questioning everyone about whether they had seen the girl, but none had.
The parents’ desperation was growing, and they were terrified that something horrible might happen to their young daughter.
Over a five-mile radius, the police visited every home in an effort to find the missing girl, searching day and night without stopping.
The girl had a drastically decreasing chance of survival with every hour that went by.
The neighbors discovered a stray pit bull hiding next to a tree in the midst of the forest on the third day of the search. The dog growled at their attempts to approach, preventing anyone from getting close to him.

Upon closer inspection, they saw that the dog was attempting to defend the girl who had gone missing. YES, THEY FOUND HER!
The dog was obviously squatting next to the girl in the woods, trying to protect and warm her, however it is unknown how much time they spent together.
The girl was extremely hungry and dehydrated, but she was unharmed. After being brought to the hospital, her condition was improved by the medical staff.
The girl’s family later adopted the puppy, whom they gave the name Joy.
Because the pit bull was able to keep the girl safe, he was hailed as a hero.

Nobody ever imagined that a dog could have such keen instincts as to sense the child’s danger and instinctively know how to protect it.
Joy once again shown to the girl’s parents how much wiser and more loving dogs may be than people realize. For this, the parents are grateful.
