Isang Aso isinakripisyo ang sariling buhay para mailigtas ang kaniyang amo sa isang makamandag na ahas.

Earlier this week, a heroic dog became a sensation on social media after he sacrificed his own life to save his female owner’s life. Thousands of people online are saluting “Jago” who willingly laid his life on the line in order to save his master’s life from the venomous snake attack.
A woman named Jonah Lynne Bugay Enriquez took to social media to recall the tear-jerking story of how her pet dog Jago saved her from certain death. On Facebook, the woman posted her traumatic experience along with a gut-wrenching image showing the dead snake lying on the pavement.

Still shaken from her loyal pet’s death, Enriquez recalled the events leading up to the incident. She was quoted as saying on Facebook:
“Habang naglilinis po ako sa shelter may di inaasahang naganap. Sobra nakakatakot ang ulupong, ang laki at ang haba. Para akong di makakilos; diko alam gagawin ko pero dumating ang diko inaasahang taga pagligtas ko.”

Despite Enriquez’ overwhelming gratitude to her dog for saving her life, she couldn’t help but feel regretful as she wrote:
“Pero sana kahit di mo nalang ginawa un sana hindi mo nalang pinansin ung ahas. Kaya ko naman tumakbo. Di naman siguro ako aabutan. Pero siguro gusto mong siguraduhin hindi mapapahamak ang mommy Jo kaya ibinuwis mo ang buhay mo para sa akin. Iyak ako ng iyak halos himatayin nako, ang sakit sakit sa dibdib.

“Sigaw ako ng sigaw. Talagang sinigurado mong wakwak siya at wala ng buhay bago mo hintuan at sobra ako nagaalala kasi di imposible na nakagat ka din habang naglalabanan kayo. Nung umakyat kana sa kubo ilang minuto lang nawala ka na din.”
It is widely-believed that animals are more adept at sensing dangers than humans. Perhaps Jago sensed that the snake was bound to attack, so he immediately defended his master.
On the other hand, the story of Jago the heroic dog was well-received on social media. As of writing this, the viral article has already reached a total of 35,000 likes and more than 11,000 shares on Facebook alone! People are extending their condolences and salutations to the heroic dog. Even though he died, many people will surely remember Jago’s heroism.
