When people adopt or take care of dogs, they don’t know the miracles they can bring.

Evolving together for thousands of years, dogs have built an affinity for humans that they consider as family.

They take care of their own.

And as a family, dogs stand to protect their kin, no matter the danger.

This made them aware of a lot of things, even the littlest changes in our bodies or our surroundings.

One family received a miracle.

According to Caitlyn Radel-Paaby, Willow has always been a very good girl.

She’s very affectionate not only to Caitlyn but to her family as well.

But there was something so much more about Willow.

While the Great Pyrenees can tend to be a bit skittish, she can rise to the occasion when her family needs her the most.

Caitlyn shared the miraculous incident.

It was Thanksgiving Eve and Caitlyn has just come back from the grocery store. Her husband was watching over their baby and things seemed pretty normal.

She did notice that her beloved dog Willow was nowhere to be found.

Caitlyn shared that Willow has always been a “greeter” as she loves her mom so much. That night, however, Willow didn’t even run to her.

Caitlyn started to worry.

She started to look for her dog around the house. She found Willow under the desk of their office.

The dog was visibly anxious and upset.

When she tried coaxing the dog to come out, Willow began to get a little bit “defensive.”

They tried to understand what was happening but Willow just kept on drawing their attention to something.

She was fixated on a socket.

When Caitlyn investigated, her heart almost dropped. She felt that the walls surrounding the socket are warm.

It was not visible at that moment but there was a fire brewing within the walls of their house.

Thankfully, Willow caught the scent.

The couple quickly called the fire department. The first responders came and quickly put the sparks out.

According to the fire department, if they failed to detect what was happening, the house could’ve been engulfed in flames overnight.

But all thanks to Willow and her uncanny abilities, the family, especially the baby, is safe and sound.

“There was a fire in the electrical box that if we hadn’t caught would have spread to the rest of the wall overnight or while we were sleeping.” She said in her Facebook post.

Dogs being used in fire prevention isn’t new.

There are even times when dogs are much more effective at detecting flammable substances. They can search large areas with ease and efficiency.

As for Caitlyn, she’s just thankful that Willow’s around.

“She had never done anything like this and we were shocked,” Radel-Paaby said to The Dodo. “She is always making sure her human brother is safe and she clings to me like crazy and usually will alert if something is off but never anything serious until the outlet.”

That year, Caitlyn and her family had two more things to be thankful for.

They got a chance at life and an angel in the form of Willow.
