The loyalty and loyalty of dogs to their humans is no secret at this point. They show it to us day after day and the relationship with them is very special, a bond that is not established with almost any other creature. But that’s not all: as the dogs in this gallery and their stories demonstrate, they can be true heroes.
Courage in dogs is well known. Due to its history as a faithful companion of human beings, it has within it great capacities and abilities to carry out intrepid actions, and even, as some of the protagonists in our gallery show us, to leave its mark on history.
In all catastrophes there is always a story of rescue dogs, and it is in their nature, due to their past as a working dog, to collaborate with human beings and help them in whatever way they can. Even so, the most important thing is that that courage and desire to collaborate reside in the great emotional bond that he establishes with us.
In this sense, a study from Azabu University, in Japan, concluded that when a dog and its human look at each other, they both experience a strong discharge of oxytocin , which reinforces the affective bond between them. The researchers also experimented with wolves and did not get the same answer, so they pointed out that the link between dogs and humans must have evolved recently and that it is unique.
The evolution of the relationship between the dog and the human has been very progressive, but almost from the beginning the dog was a great company for us. Hence, there are so many stories in which dogs are willing to lay down their lives for members of their family or remain faithful to them until the end of their days. The relationship between the dog and the human being is unique and the following stories prove it.
