When you belong to a family unit you have to watch out for one another and that is exactly what the pooch below is doing! You can never be too careful and only when he’s sure she is safe does he let her move along. What a great companion!

What is truly interesting about the above is the little girl is not even aware of what her dog is doing. He’s being attentive, careful and making certain she stays to the inside, a bit away from the pool, as she walks along its edge.

Covered or not, he is not taking any chances and, yes, that not only makes him a heroic dog but also a very loving companion!
