Nature helps us humans in the most surprising ways by making someone a source of relief. Man is man's greatest confidante, and in such moments of distress, our fellows are always around us to boost us and keep our spirits high. But in this strange story, a dog proved itself a life savior for its owner and saved two lives; she was pregnant.

Pets are amusing dudes to keep at home. Still, the dog in question became viral, making its place on multiple social websites for its unmistakable intuition and ability to see the happenings before anyone could think about it.

The Dog Was Concerned

Alhanna didn't pay much heed to the pains she started feeling in the 18th week of pregnancy. Her husband also didn't sense anything unusual, so he regularly followed his life schedule. He considered it routine when he saw his wife was nauseous and fatigued.

But there was someone who had concerns; Alhanna's dog. Its body language changed vividly, and the couple quickly noticed this, but they had some more meaningful things to deal with. Alhanna started experiencing extreme back pains, and her dog's worry began to make more sense. What this dog sniffed out astonished even the medical professionals, closely monitoring the mother and child.

Something About The Dog

Dogs are said to be the most loyal animals to human beings. If the owner extends love and care, they do not hesitate to reciprocate the feelings. Alhanna and Keola, her dog, always had a tight bond, and when she went through her pregnancy, her dog seldom left her side.

Throughout those sensitive months, this dog had outstanding protective manners that stunned Alhanna and her husband, Ricky. Japanese Akitas, her dog's breed, are known for being very clever and defensive of their owners, and that's precisely what this one did and obliged the family forever by its God-gifted sixth sense.

With Them Since Birth

Another reason for this strong bond was that the dog had been with the couple since its birth. So the affiliation became many folds on both sides while the dog grew with the loving couple. So now, the dog was trying to take care of Alhanna in return.

When Alhanna and her husband Ricky married, they knew they desired to start a family. But before they had kids, they adopted the sweet Akita Inu as a cute addition to the family. This pup instantly proved his loyalty and sweetness to the couple, but the crafts he would show off soon would blow them away.

Dog's Intuition

When the pair thought of having a kid, they did a few home tests to see if they would be parents. After one test showed up negative, they tossed it away without thinking again. But their dog knew that something was noticeable about the test.

Alhanna explained that they went outside to have coffee, and when they returned, they saw the dog sitting next to the test kit she threw in the bin. It was strange for them as Keola had never touched the dustbins before. The dog was blessed with some kind of intuition, with which he kept on striking its owners.

She Was Pregnant

Alhanna hurried to the test, and on grabbing it, she saw a faint positive line. She could not believe it; first, she was expecting, and second, Keola knew it before anyone else. She rushed to show it to Ricky, but he refused to trust the second line as it might have appeared out of the suggested time frame. So, they threw the test again.

The next day, when she tested with a better test, it said she was two weeks pregnant. She broke the news to her husband by writing a note from Keola. The couple was over the moon. They believed that the dog was special.

A New Phase

Everything was changing for Alhanna. She was expecting the child, but she was not expecting all the other side effects of the period. She always thought these months would go as shown on TV and in commercials. But once into it, she realized that the reality was different.

She was undergoing emotional, psychological, and physical changes. Obviously, it was strange for her at the start, so she had to cope with all the hormonal changes. But thanks to her husband and Keola, who were always by her side. Both of them did their best to console her whenever she was baffled by this rough patch.

Everything Was Not Quite Right

Alhanna was an educated girl, so she started reading about this condition to get some tips to sail smoothly. She then had a pretty reliable bunch of information about everything that was going on with her. She was able to understand herself better.

Alhanna had been only some months far when there happened something she could not understand. She started to experience extreme back pains and nausea. Her pains led her to see a midwife. But everyone around her, including the midwife, told her that the sufferings were typical of this phase, so there was nothing to be concerned about.

Seriously Sick

Alhanna was a first-time mommy, and she lived alone. No older woman was around to guide her on what to do and what not. Whenever she wanted to do some heavy task, she had to consult different websites. Her confusion was she was not feeling well, but there were speculations that she was suffering what every expecting woman does,

About 18 weeks into her gestation, she started to feel severely sick. She was bothered by all this as she could not live everyday life, but Keola started to worry. It would impatiently wait outside the bathroom door every time Alhannah felt sick.

Goes To Doctors

One day, the severely sick Alhannah decided to see her doctor. Now she began to worry about her child's health as she could not eat anything. She went to the hospital. Still, they were not ready to admit anything exceptional about her condition. They explained in detail how the surge of hormones causes nausea and how to treat it. They also advised her to take proper meals to make her and the child healthy.

Alhanna returned home, and her husband was also confident that everything was normal. But there was someone who was not satisfied at all with the medical pofessionals's assessments.

Keola Kew That She Was Not Fine

There was something in Keola's eyes that scared Alhanna. Dogs communicate strongly with their human friends, and to Alhanna, Keola was just like a kid. She had known the dog since it was just born. She tried to learn why her dog was not happy and perhaps it wanted to do something for her and her unborn child.

Since she learned that she was having a kid, Alhanna had become more meticulous about everything. She kept in mind that it was Keola who already knew that the baby was coming. So it was becoming hard for Alhanna to ignore the dog.

Mommy Comes To Help

Ricky did not believe all this, so she started thinking about the names with whom she could discuss what was going on in her mind. Who else can guide better than a mom at a moment of indecisiveness? So, Alhanna called her. And because her mother lived so far from them, she could not come to her help.

But she advised her daughter to listen to the signals Keola gave. Her mom knew how much Alhanna and Keola were attached to each other, so it was impossible that the dog's frustration was without reason. Alhanna became seriously concerned and got attentive to her dog.

A Painful Revelation

Alhanna thought it wasn't right to go to the same doctors and challenge their judgment. So, she booked an appointment in another facility, and luckily she got the time for the same day. When she was getting ready for the visit, she repeatedly felt unable to breathe. Upon reaching the place, Alhanna fell to the ground and became unconscious. She could not even find time to tell physicians about her condition.

After some tests done in urgency, it dawned upon doctors that she was so near to death, and they thanked God that she reached them in time. The matter got worse than the couple expected.

A Severe Infection

The reports told the doctors that she had a double lung infection. If it remains untreated, the disease causes severe problems and suffering, leading to death. Such a case is treated with antibiotics and other medical assistance, but unfortunately, she had an antibiotic-resistant bug that had made all the efforts futile.

The medical professionals called an urgent team meeting to control the patient's situation as it was a matter of two lives. There were strong chances for the unborn child to be affected by the mother's sickness. They knew that the little one would have weaker immunity power, so they had to take action soon.

Superbugs

Superbugs are types of bacteria, parasites, viruses, and fungi resistant to most antibiotics and other medicines usually used to cure the infections they cause. A few examples of superbugs include resistant bacteria that can cause pneumonia, skin infections, lung infections, and urinary tract infections.

Alhanna was not well since the 18th week of her expecting, so there was a strong chance that the infection was that old. She and her husband were shocked and grieved that former doctors could not make an exact judgment, thus putting the mother and her unborn child at risk. Ricky regretted not getting so much involved in the matter before.

In The ICU

Alhanna was admitted to the intensive care unit, and those days were really hard for Ricky. Her mother arrived to see her daughter and was constantly praying for her daughter's and grandchild's safety. Keola was equally disturbed and was not eating anything. Everyone only wished to see Alahanna and her child back home in the best of her health.

Now Ricky started pondering over all the circumstances of the past where his wife hinted time and again that the dog wanted to say something. There was nothing but regret for Ricky for not believing in the dog's intuition despite Alhanna's insistence.

The Dog Tried Hard To Tell Them

Ricky told her mother-in-law that when Alhanna fell ill again and again, she still did not quit her job. The dog's routine was to lick Alhanna's hands and waive its tail while bidding farewell to her. But when she was not well, the dog got disturbed daily while Alhanna left for the job. That signaled that she should not go to the office and seek medical assistance instead.

Alhanna's mom was happy that she advised her daughter right to listen to the dog. God responded to their prayers, and after so many hours, the doctors had something good to tell Ricky and Alhanna's mom.

Toxic Friends

Alhanna's disease was so rare that the lab at the hospital had to create a new range of antibiotics, especially to cure her. Overall, she was kept in the facility for a month to heal from her infections and guarantee a safe birth for her child.

Alhanna stated that all the days in that place were awful for her. She had the support of her husband and her mother, but at the same time, there were some toxic friends. Instead of picking her up, they criticized her, saying if she could not fight the illness, how would she give birth?

The Delivery

But Alhanna and her family knew that she fought death to come back to life. She was too weak to stand on her feet properly. But every cloud has a silver lining. After the frenzy that they faced during the hospital days, Alhanna was happy to have an uncomplicated birth.

The whole family admitted that it was about their dog more than anyone else. Thanks to the worry of her pup, she was able to seek medical aid in time and saved two lives. She later stated that she still could not believe that her dog knew what even doctors couldn't and was constantly concerned about her.

The Dog And The Kid

The lovely couple was blessed with a boy who was healthy and normal. Nothing like what they all feared happened, and the kid was doing well at the time of his birth. They were on cloud nine on Alhanna's speedy recovery and the fluffy addition to the family.

Now that Lincoln has been born happy and healthy, Keola hasn't really left his side either! When the infant came home from the hospital, Keola welcomed him into the family and only showed the most peaceful instincts around the boy. But did the dog and child really do well in the coming days?

Parents Were Afraid

What a new mommy wishes? A little help around the tot and someone who could let her have some sleep after spending a sleepless night with the newborn. This was not the problem with Alhanna as her husband, and her dog was always there to take care of the kid when she was away doing other house chores.

Being new parents, Ricky and Alhanna was conscious of how the dog was going to treat the kid. But all of their worries vanished away when they secretly observed the bond between the two. The dog was overprotective of Lincoln, looking at him with love.

Happy Postpartum

The infant was too little to play with Keola, and all he did was stare at the puppy. Keola was never away, though; either Lincoln would feed him, Alhanna would bathe him, or pat him to sleep. Alhanna would often see Keola sleeping next to his son and instantly thought of the days when she was helpless in the hospital bed. But then she thanked God that she had loving people around.

The circumstances could have been different if Keola hadn't indirectly insisted on her checkup. Unlike many other moms, Alhanna's postpartum period went smoothly and happily with the sincerer support of everyone in the residence.

Baby Guard

Later, talking to the sources, Alhanna revealed that she never needed a babysitter when Keola was around. It never let her son fall from the couch or bed. It would inform the mommy if Lincoln was weeping or hungry. The excellent help eased Alhanna.

In Japan, Akitas have been known as babysitting dogs, and Keola proved the title right and lived up to this. A characteristic of infants is that they get attached to anyone trying to come closer and whom they see daily. Lincoln, too seemed to be attached to the dog now and used to sleep peacefully when Keola was around.

A Proud Mother

One day, Lincoln will grow up knowing how her mother's dog lent a hand in saving his and her mom's lives. The dog is listed at the top of the most faithful animals and it's correct. The animal extends the warm gestures of deep love toward its owners and proves itself among the most helpful family members.

Alhanna is proud of her son, who fought hard in his womb to keep any danger away and came into the world healthy and fit. At the same time, she is also grateful for her dog, who did what none could do for Alhanna.

A Happy Dad

Keola remained with them wherever the family visited, not to have fun but to take care of Lincoln. It never allowed crawling Lincoln to go near any swimming pool or wet places in a park. It remained beside the kid to save him from other naughty kids in the lane when lincoln started walking.

In all these scenarios, Ricky was the happiest. His life became jubilant when a healthy Alhanna came home with her healthy son two years back. But still, he often shudders at the thought of what could be of him if Alhanna failed to reach the hospital that day.

The Sweetest Eyes

Alhanna loves to capture her dog with her son because she loves keeping memories. And there is no bad in telling the world that you got a great pet that can do anything to guard you and your family. Some pets are really demanding and tire the owners in their service, but Keola was different.

Whenever Alhanna saw a photo of the dog and her son together, one thing was common in every shot, the sweetest eyes of the dog, filled with love and affection for her son. And why not? Both had a spiritual relationship since even when Lincoln was not born.

Keola and Lincoln's Adventures

As Alhanna kept on photographing Keola and Lincoln together, her friends just asking for more adorable videos and pictures of the two. In every cute picture, both friends can be seen sleeping, playing, and eating together. So Alhanna set up a Facebook page for them. The page title is "Keola and Lincoln's Adventures."

Ricky and Alhanna write and share the everyday activities of the two fast friends, and followers love to read that. Keola was even nominated for the Dog of The Year Awards. The followers of the page are mostly friends and family and the people of their local community.

Lincoln Is Growing

Over time, Lincoln grew up and is now a school-going boy. Many things have changed, but what didn't is his bond with Keola. And another impressive change is now he knows how to reciprocate affection of Keola. The dog had been guarding him when he was of some weeks, and now he is wise enough to return the care and love. Lincoln loves to introduce Keola to his friends at school.

Whenever there are firecrackers outside, like many dogs, Keola gets scared and runs to Lincoln, who is always there for her. Keola feels protected while snuggling its favorite family on the couch.

Pets Are Love

When you pass a hectic day at work or in school, coming home is no less than a blessing. And if your adorable and caring pet welcomes you, you forget all day long stress. One does not need many friends to open their hearts if they have pets.

A house with a child or a pet has a pleasant environment. Ricky and Alhanna are lucky to have both. From birth to school, Lincoln never showed any signs of weakness or illness, as was feared by many. The same was the case with his mother, who was actively involved in household and office jobs.

A Happy Duo

Lincoln loves twinning with the dog when they get ready for Halloween or Christmas. They take the same toys to play with when they go out shopping. Hence, the dog is with Lincoln; he has not made many friends at school or in the community. But there is a fair chance that his dog won't allow him to love any other friend now.

Ricky and Alhanna often feel proud of their decision to adopt a dog before having a child. This family extension proved so blessed for them and ensured more joys and blessings for the happy family.

Ways Of God

These are the ways of God in which he makes one a source to save the other; this is how this world goes on. It was so lovely of Ricky's family that they recognized the good their dig did to them and kept on stating and celebrating it. This also shows how much their loved ones and the family system matter to Ricky and his wife.

They taught the same gratefulness to their child. The family's story tells how acknowledging the good in others makes others our forever friends and how their wrong sides can be hidden with small acts of kindness and compassion.
