Humans don't really deserve dogs, because their affection goes beyond what we can imagine, they are nothing but devoted, loyal and selfless souls. We, on the other hand, are not always kind to them.

At that moment, his pit bull, who was resting in the car heard him and immediately came to his rescue. Darby tried fending off the shark by barking loudly and eventually bit the shark into its gills. A few seconds later, the shark let go of White¡¯s feet and jumped back into the ocean.
"If it wasn't for him I would have been a lot worse...He's been a part of the family from day one. Just now a little more," James was quoted by LadBible.
