Kelly Andrew shared a picture of her baby girl, who spent the night at a hospital
A Twitter user has shared the heartwarming tale of how their dog saved the life of their baby girl. The woman, who goes by Kelly Andrew on Twitter, said that their dog kept breaking into the nursery and kept trying to wake their baby up. The family could barely understand its behaviour. Speaking about the incident, Ms Andrew tweeted: “Last night the dog kept breaking into the nursery and waking the baby. She’s been sick, and I was getting so fed up with him.”
She elaborated on the incident in a Twitter thread on Tuesday, which has been retweeted over 5,000 times and counting. With over 69,000 likes, the thread has touched the hearts of many.
However, it’s because of the constant nagging of the dog that the parents realised that their baby had stopped breathing. The canine was only trying to wake up the baby. The tweet continued, “We spent the night in the hospital. I don’t know what would have happened if he hadn’t woken her. We don’t deserve dogs.”
Last night the dog kept breaking into the nursery and waking the baby. She’s been sick, and I was getting so fed up with him.
Until she stopped breathing.

The mother also shared an update about the dog, named Henry, and her baby’s health. She wrote, “The baby is doing much better today and we are home with Henry, who bravely held the fort all night even though he is scared of the dark.” We also see a snapshot of Henry in this tweet. Take a look:

Ms Andrew did not stop at simply gushing about her pet pooch. She went on to give a shout out to Connecticut Children’s hospital for the healthcare they provided.
Since this thread is still doing numbers I would like to shout out the ER department at @ctchildrens for being literal heroes. Not just for our LO but night after night, patient after patient. They go above and beyond in their care, and it shows ❤️

A person recollected how he had survived Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) because of their pet cat.
Many years ago, we had a cat that slept with me in my crib. One night the cat went in and tried to get my parents up, after being thrown unceremoniously of the bed several times, he peed on my dad’s chest and ran out and back to my crib where I was, blue, and not breathing, SIDS

Some of them noted how their pet dogs and cats would help them cope with depression or mood swings.
I got my dog when I was deep in depression. The kind where you can barely eat and can’t stop crying and won’t get out of bed. When I was depressed she never left my side. She cuddled up with me and nudged me to make sure I was good. It was like she knew. She saved my life.

One user wrote how a dog stayed by its owner’s side in order to help her deal with a low diabetic seizure. The tweet read, “Her dog, never left her side from the moment she wasn’t feeling well and alerted my dad too when her seizure started.”
My sister was having a diabetic low which led to a seizure. Her dog, never left her side from the moment she wasn’t feeling well and alerted my dad to when her seizure started. You’re right, we don’t deserve them.
