The
Robinson family bought a house in an isolated area, where they wanted to build
a farm.
Mrs.
Robinson was pregnant and had to give birth to her second child, a boy, in 4 months.
As soon as they moved into the new house, they started arranging the child’s
room to be ready when the new family member was born.
Because
they lived in an apartment where the owner did not allow them to have a dog,
the Robinsons now wanted at least one puppy, being animal lovers.
The
two spouses, together with their 6-year-old son, Matias, paid a visit to an
animal shelter to choose a dog. They wanted a puppy that would not be
aggressive and that would grow up with the children on the farm.
After
visiting the paddocks and learning the sad stories of several dogs, they were
very undecided about which dog to choose.
At
the end of the visit, they passed a 4-year-old pit bull named Benson. He stood
back with his tail between his legs and his head bowed, he seemed to have
completely lost confidence in people.
The
Robinson family wanted to know Benson’s story, and the animal shelter
volunteers told them that Benson had a very sad life. He was used in dog fights
and then abandoned on the streets, where volunteers found him. After a period
in the dog shelter, Benson was adopted by a couple, but after only 2 weeks he
was brought back to the dog shelter on the grounds that Benson is aggressive
with his owners and has behavioral disorders.

Even
though the volunteers did not recommend that Benson be adopted by a family with
children, Mr. Robinson insisted on giving Benson a chance so they adopted him.
Even the road to the car was difficult because Benson was not used to walking
on a leash, but in the end, they got home.
In
the early days, Benson was very withdrawn, shy and suspicious. But over time,
Benson began to adjust and form a bond with all members of the family,
especially Matias.
After
Mrs. Robinson gave birth, they brought the baby home and introduced him to
Benson. He smelled the baby and licked his face lightly. From that moment on,
the owners knew that Benson was a wonderful dog and that the two would get
along well.
One
night when the baby was only two months old, the Robinsons were awakened in the
middle of the night by Benson’s loud barking. He barked incessantly and tried
to reach the baby’s crib, but could not get past the crib’s protective bars, He
started bitting the crib trying to reach the baby. At first, the Robinsons were
scared, thinking that Benson was trying to hurt the baby, but when they took
the baby in their arms, they noticed that the baby was no longer breathing.

They
rushed him to a nearby hospital where doctors were able to resuscitate him. The
doctor told the parents that the baby would have died if he had been on
cardiorespiratory arrest for more than 30 minutes.
Benson
became a hero and proved that nothing is accidental. The Robinson family saved
Benson, a dog no one gave a chance to, and Benson saved their baby’s life.
