Heroic Pup Risks Life to Rescue Baby
In Maplewood, a quiet town where neighbors know one another, a Golden Retriever named Max became an unlikely hero.
One autumn afternoon, the Logan family’s truck crashed into a ditch while returning from apple picking.
Though shaken, they soon noticed their baby, Lily, trapped in the backseat.
Max, “slightly bruised from the fall,” pushed past debris to reach her.
He stayed close, offering gentle nudges and barks that calmed the infant.
As fuel leaked and danger grew, Max began tugging Lily’s blanket, carefully shielding her from glass and debris.
“Throughout the ordeal, Max never left Lily’s side,” protecting her until firefighters arrived.
The town soon hailed Max as a hero. At a special ceremony, the mayor awarded him a medal, while the Logans expressed their gratitude.
Max’s story became a Maplewood legend — proof that “heroes come in all shapes and sizes, sometimes with four legs and a wagging tail.”
