Viral: Mom Horrified When Doberman Grabs 17-Month-Old and Throws Her across Yard. But Then She Sees His Foot

Sometimes, pet owners are faced with the heartbreaking realization that their beloved pets may not be a good fit for a family with babies and young children. Catherine Svilicic thought that she was finding herself in this tough position.

It turned out the family dog’s behaviors were not out of pure aggression. Instead, it may have saved her toddler’s life.

Khan, a Doberman, was rescued by Kerry Kinder, the owner of Doberinling Boarding Kennels, after a life of abuse. Khan was rescued in terrible conditions.
He had clearly been beaten and starved. In fact, talk about just ending his misery and putting him down was even discussed.

However, the Svilicic family wanted to adopt Khan. It was only four days after they brought him home that the shocking incident occurred.

The family was living in Atherton, Australia, in 2007, when the Svilicic’s 17-month-old daughter, Charlotte, and Khan were playing outside. Khan seemed intensely focused all of a sudden.
He started to lightly push the toddler. Charlotte was not moving as Khan desired, so he took more drastic action.

“So he grabbed her by the back of the nappy and threw her over his shoulder more than a metre,” Svilicic reported, “like she was a rag doll.” As a mother, she was horrified by this aggressive act, until she saw what jumped out from under the house.

A king brown snake made its attack on Khan. If the dog had not thrown Charlotte out of the way, it would have attacked her instead.
The king brown snake is listed as one of Australia’s 10 most dangerous snakes. According to Australian Geographic, the king brown snake held the record for the greatest venom output of all the snakes in the world.

Khan collapsed after he ran inside to escape from the snake. He struggled through the night but was able to receive an anti-venom shot just in time.

Not only did he made a full recovery, but his new adopted family would only grow in their love and appreciation for him after saving Charlotte. Khan’s second chance at life amazingly saved the life of a young toddler, and her family shall forever be grateful.

“This definitely put a smile on my face…”

Viral: Mom Sits Behind NFL Star on Plane. End of Flight Hands Him Note, Says ‘Read It Later’ and Walks Away

You hear all kinds of stories out there involving professional athletes neglecting or denying their potential as role models for youth. Not every one of them embrace the idea that they have an influence upon the children of today.

There was a case recently in which the actions of one NFL player on an airplane flight caught the attention of a nearby mom. She was sitting behind Mohamed Sanu, who is a wide receiver for the Atlanta Falcons, and what he did caused her to take notice.

His actions on this flight weren’t anything out of the ordinary for him, but what he didn’t know was that he had an audience. A 10-year-old boy was observing the star athlete’s every move.
The nice thing was that Sanu was caught making a lot of responsible choices. For one thing, he was very studious in pouring over his team playbook.

Next, his politeness toward others was very impressive. Finally, he made healthy eating choices by snacking on fruit and drinking juice.
Actions speak louder than words, and this athlete’s actions spoke volumes. The young athlete watching him was deeply impressed, and even though Sanu didn’t notice the family behind him, they certainly noticed him.

It was something that the 10-year-old would always remember. The boy’s mom even took the extra step to make sure Sanu knew what his actions meant to her and her boy.

Mom actually set a wonderful example by recognizing the positive aspects of Sanu’s actions and acknowledging them. So many times, good is done but it goes unnoticed and without validation, which is fine — but if we want more good in the world, we should probably work harder to promote it.

She wanted Sanu to know that they were aware of what he had done. The mother handed him a note, said “read it later,” and just walked away.

It’s wonderful that a successful NFL athlete is “tickled” by the fact he made such a positive impression. “This definitely put a smile on my face … the little things,” Sanu tweeted.

Your actions may not even involve doing anything out of this world, but they could mean a whole lot to someone else who might see them at the right time. You never knew who was looking.
