Whether you are a friend of animals or not, you have surely already heard about the fact that our animal friends have the ability to perceive certain things that are beyond us. If you have pets, cats, dogs or other pets yourself, you may have already seen this phenomenon. Animals are indeed capable of capturing changes in energy or atmosphere in their environment, which allows them to warn us of certain things that we do not perceive directly. This is more commonly referred to as the sixth sense. And it was jer precisely because of her sixth sense that Keola, Alhanna Butler’s little dog, will be able to save her mistress’s life.

Alhanna and her partner Ricky were looking forward to giving birth to a third member of their small tribe. However, as Alhanna was entering her fourth month of pregnancy, Keola began to behave in a very strange way in the presence of the expectant mother. Not being able to understand her dog’s behaviour, the mistress simply decided not to pay more attention to it. Of course, this was before he understood that his dog was not only subject to a few mood swings but that he was really trying to get a message across by constantly kicking him in the stomach.

01. They dreamed of becoming parents
Love, at first sight, was instantaneous between these two lovebirds who quickly felt that they were made to live together. It was not just the exciting and passionate beginning of a little love affair. These two wanted to grow old and build a family together. They then began to try everything to make their dream come true.

It was not easy, because, despite all their attempts, the young woman could not get pregnant. As they began to despair that they would one day be able to do so, the little miracle finally came to light, plunging the two future parents into an incredible state of joy at the thought of being able to start their family. It was going to grow yes! But that wasn’t counting their first little furry four-legged baby Keola.

02. The impatience of the dog as great as that of the mother-to-be
The wonderful news spread very quickly, to the great delight of all! Keola, the American Akita, did not need words to feel that his mistress was pregnant. Already very cuddly, the little ball of hair then redoubled its attention and tenderness.

She would never let go of Alhanna, trying to help her as much as possible in her own way, taking care of her at all times. She now preferred to spend her nights with her muzzle against her mistress’ stomach, rather than wandering the streets as she used to. However, as touching as his behaviour might have been, it changed very quickly for no apparent reason.

03. A weird behaviour
At the beginning of her seventeenth week of pregnancy, the young mistress and mother-to-be noticed that her dog’s behaviour had changed. Keola’s tenderness from the beginning had just given way to strange attitudes. She spent hours moaning against her mistress’s stomach and/or scratching it with her paws.

The dog, still disturbed in his behaviour, even tried once to bury his snout in Alhanna’s belly as if to sniff or dig something up. However, the two lovers who found this behaviour strange paid little attention to it. They should have listened to what their dog was desperately trying to tell them in all the ways possible. When your pet suddenly behaves in such a strange way with you, it is often because the situation is serious.

04. Yet Alhanna seemed to be doing well and having a perfectly normal pregnancy
Our mother-to-be was so happy with the arrival of her first child and was relieved to see that no complications had arisen during these first weeks of pregnancy. Which as we know are essential and often very risky. The couple was on a real cloud, everything seemed to be going well for the moment. It was then confidently that they were looking forward to the next few months.

That was not to mention Keola. The couple, thinking that this was only a phase that would eventually pass. They were still not worried about their dog’s strange behaviour, which was still going on. Unfortunately, this was not a phase that would eventually pass sooner or later. Keola’s disconcerting actions were to be taken much more seriously as what they were hiding was so frightening.

05. A first black cloud in this blue sky
Everything was going perfectly well for the young mother until she reached her fourth month of pregnancy. From then on, she began to experience severe pain in her lower back. The pain was such bad that she was unable to walk and even had great difficulty speaking. Like any mother-to-be, the young woman began to panic, to be afraid about her child’s real health.

Apprehending the worst, she began to believe that their dream of coming as parents would be destroyed any day now. Of course, she was rushed to the hospital, where the young parents were terrified at the thought of what might happen.

06. Alhanna in hospital
Ricky rushed to the hospital to join his love, where a doctor had examined him immediately. They were both reassured to learn that the baby and Alhanna were doing well. Ricky rushed to join her dear and to go to the emergency room after she had been consulted by a doctor very quickly after her arrival. He informed them that they did not have to worry about the health of their baby, who was doing perfectly well.

The relieved parents were still surprised because, given the young woman’s pain, they really expected to receive much more alarming news. The doctor calmed them down by advising Alhanna to take plenty of rest until her child was happily born if she didn’t want any complications to occur. The reassured couple went home with only one idea in mind, to follow the doctor’s advice. Even if that didn’t make the situation any weirder.

07. Relief and rest for both parents
The parents returned home exhausted by the most horrific scenarios they had ever imagined. But so relieved to know that their child was in perfect health. After this disturbing episode, the two lovers were in need of rest.

Despite everything, Alhanna’s stabbing pains persisted. But now that she knew they didn’t affect her baby’s health, she could face them by getting as much rest as possible while enjoying her little Keola’s hugs.

08. Social media
After some time to recover, Alhanna decided to post a post on social networks to give news about what had happened to her family and friends. In it, she explained each of the details of the situation and finally informed them that everything was going very well now for her and the child. She added that the only one still disturbed by this little twist must have been Keola, who maintained his disconcerting behaviour.

The young couple’s relatives sent many messages of support, all happy to know that the woman was doing better. However, many of them still advised her to seek a second medical opinion and that she should perhaps pay more attention to what Keola, her dog, was trying to express to her.

09. Could it be that the dog felt something that was out of the control of the young mother?
Alhanna didn’t know what to think anymore and her little time in the hospital had more than exhausted her. Not knowing which decision was the right one, however, she did not dare to call her doctor back, question her diagnosis and insist that something was wrong.

She would have liked to believe the doctors’ advice, but the pain continued. Thus, as time passed, the young woman began to believe that the signals from her dog were perhaps what she should believe in. Was her rather disturbing behaviour her own way of telling her that something was wrong?

10. Alhanna’s mother is coming to help her daughter
Disoriented between the urgent advice of her relatives and not daring to disturb her doctor again, the young woman no longer knows what to do. But it was without relying on her mother who joined her daughter to convince her to take another exam.

The latter was firmly convinced that the dog’s behaviour was not a sign to be taken lightly, that it could not be a coincidence that Keola ruled in this way by scratching his mistress’ stomach. Despite her mother’s speech and alerts, Alhanna decided to return to work. She would have succeeded if her dog hadn’t blocked her path.

11. The Dog, to protect his mistress, blocked his way to prevent her from going out
The young woman, determined to face her pain and ignore it, began to prepare for work. Only barely had she approached the doorway, when her dog jumped in front of her to block her way. The latter, squealing and moaning, leapt in all directions to prevent Alhanna from leaving her home.

The young woman did not understand why her dog operated in this way. But it didn’t matter anymore, because Alhanna lost consciousness before she had even had time to try to push her dog away. His companion, Ricky, rushed to the emergency room and took his love for the second time.

12. From the beginning, the dog tried to warn her
Upon her arrival, Alhanna is subjected to a battery of tests to determine if there may be any other reason for these stabbing pains than the stress caused by pregnancy. Once she came to, the young woman asked for more explanation on the situation without specifying that if she was there it was by the dog that had “imposed” it on her.

In anguish and waiting for the results, everyone wondered whether Keola was right from the beginning or not. Once the results arrived, it turned out that unfortunately the dog, far from simply having mood disorders, had been trying for several weeks to warn his mistress that her child’s life and hers were in danger.

13. A terrible kidney infection
The fact is that Alhanna had not imagined all this pain, that it was not due to stress and that, contrary to the previous doctors’ opinion, the mere fact of resting would not have been enough to calm the young woman down.

The good news is that despite the young mother’s fear that her child might be in danger, there was a treatment that would allow her to heal but given the seriousness of the situation, the doctors did not wait a moment before starting treatment and placing the young woman in intensive care.

14. An intensive care treatment
This was a time-sensitive issue an dit was imperative for ther mother to heal, thus her child could also survive. It was imperative to prevent the infection from reaching other parts of the body.

Despite being under the control of doctors finally and getting her answers, she continued to worry about her child’s life but not only that but she was also thinking about her little dog, alone, who had to wait for her at home.

15. A slow recovery
After several days, permanently put on antibiotics, the mother-to-be could finally rest. She was always under the close supervision of her doctors and so, she gradually began to regain her strength. Fortunately, her baby was also doing very well.

But it was only when she was completely cured that she could start to relax and again, start to enjoy her pregnancy. The only thing to do now was to quietly prepare for the arrival of the baby, which was now fast approaching!

16. It’s a boy
Thankfully, time flew by and it was with incredible and undisguised joy that the couple was finally able to realize their dream of becoming parents to a beautiful little boy, who they named Lincoln.

Both of them believed, that this happiness is partly due to Keola today. The little dog was finally be able to get to know this little man she tried so hard to protect with all her strength and for whom she was so worried throughout these nine months.

17. Welcome, Little Lincoln!
After a last short stay in the hospital, the couple was eager to return home and finally introduce the new member of the tribe to little Keola. It is obvious that such trials further strengthen the bond you may have with your animal. Alhanna had then spent her last weeks closer than ever to her dog.

She kept blaming herself for ignoring her dog’s behaviour, while the dog tried to save and protect her in every way possible. If she didn’t have the opportunity to express very clearly to her animal everything she was feeling for it right now, she hoped that Keola would be able to feel how grateful she was to him.

18. Lincoln and Keola as brother and sister
The couple went home with a new little being. Keola was as excited as her relatives to meet the little boy. When her mother and father returned with her little brother, she was overjoyed! And nothing could spoil his happiness. The lovers were finally back home with this little man they had been waiting for so long. The dog was as excited as the rest of the family about meeting him. “Her joy was absolutely incredible,” Alhanna told us, “She kept jumping around and wagging her tail in all directions, I couldn’t have imagined a better time for my return from the hospital.

It was obvious that after all her trials Keola could only adore her new little brother, that she never left a single sole. Now it remains to be seen what has become of our little couple, Lincoln and Keola, but also the very beautiful reward she received for saving her mistress and the baby.

19. Keola and Lincoln a team that will last forever
This is the second love at first sight in our history. Because since they met Lincoln and the little dog have never separated. Like best friends, brothers and sisters, it is an incredible love story that is born between these two beings.

For a nap, to play, to eat, for everything! The two were inseparable. It is sometimes one of these relationships, wherefrom the very first seconds of a meeting, one has the impression of having always known or been linked to this person. Well, here, it was. It seems these two knew each other well before they met.

20. Always protective
Lincoln reached the age of one, a little too quickly for his parents who were amazed to see him grow up. And when he went for a walk with them, it was without counting on little Keola who was always trotting beside him in the street and who served as a cushion for him right after, both exhausted by their long walk.

Between the adventures of Alhanna’s pregnancy and the complicity between these two beings, this could only confirm for the young parents that the animals do have a sixth sense.

21. Discover life with Keola at her side
Each took from the other and vice versa. It was already beautiful to see the protective look the dog had on his little human. But it was just as good to see that Lincoln was giving it back to him so well.

This is the kind of friendship that meets more in movies than in real life. So when that happens, the show is only very touching and emotional. Imagine if your best friend had started taking care of you before you were even born?

22. It’s Time For A Walk
One of the funniest things was that Keola, always with his sixth sense, could always feel when it was time to go out for a family walk! We have to say, this is one special dog who went above and beyond for her family.

So every time the mother started dressing her son, Keola would put herself in an absolutely incredible hyper state, which involved lots of running and jumping everywhere. She was always happy to go for a walk with her two favourite humans.

23. Taking a nap is good, but with your best friend, that’s better!
The link between this young human and his animal was extraordinary. The boy’s parents were not the only ones who thought so. Anyone who saw the two together could only see the very special bond between them.

But it wasn’t just this connection that was out of the ordinary. A third party apparently felt that Keola was also simply an extraordinary dog. She then decided to nominate her for an award!

24. Keola awarded
Our super dog had a ceremony organized in her honour and received a medal for her incomparable behaviour, which allowed her to save the lives of her mistress and Lincoln.

But, another point that must have been much more important to Keola was the monstrous amount of candy she was given and that she had well deserved after all!

25. An equally special smile
Despite his young age, the toddler is perfectly aware that what unites him with his friend is very special. What he may not yet perceive is that this bond will only grow and intensify over time.

Looking at these images, it may be difficult to imagine what could have happened if the dog had not alerted her mistress as she did about her state of health. But the most important thing is that the mother and son are doing perfectly well today. Look at that smile!

26. Lincoln isn’t a baby anymore
Even if time goes by at a crazy speed for this couple who see their child growing far too fast for their liking, they say they often think about this incident and what could have happened without the dog’s intervention.

The years go by, but their gratitude for Keola is always so strong. They consider themselves terribly lucky that their son is still in excellent health today. In good health and perfectly accompanied, what could they have wished for better?

27. They often tell themselves that their happiness is due to their dog.
Finally, this story really teaches us something essential. Of course, you cannot communicate directly with your pet. So when the latter tries to send you a message, it may not be perfectly clear at first.

But we must keep in mind that our animals may have feelings that are beyond our reach and sometimes even understanding. But the best thing to do is to trust them and their instincts.

28. Can we really talk about a sixth sense?
A large part of animals, but perhaps more specifically dogs, are extremely sensitive to the different variations in the energies around them. They have much more developed perceptive senses than ours, but the sharpest of which is the sense of smell.


A large proportion of them have a number of olfactory detectors, up to 50 times higher than that of a human. Which, in the end, corresponds to a smell 100,000 times higher than ours.

29. They can detect diseases by smell only
It is precisely because of his sense of smell that Keola was able to detect Alhanna’s disease before doctors were even able to do so and before the person most affected began to experience her first pain.

If neither the doctors nor she, could understand that her kidneys were being destroyed and her life diagnosis was at stake, her dog’s intervention was probably her last chance to survive.

30. They are also able to feel the beginning of a pregnancy
If dogs are able to feel certain diseases, they are also able to detect the different hormonal changes of their mistress. As incredible as it may seem, a dog is then able to detect a potential early pregnancy in its owner! Its smell is one of the ones he knows best. So, if there is any change in his hormonal structure, there is a good chance that the dog will feel it and that his behaviour towards his owner will also change.

Of course, the dog is not in the process of associating this change with pregnancy itself. But the fact that it can have an effect on hormones and odour, he will feel this change and could then have unusual behaviour. It is not without reason that this animal is considered Man’s best friend and if this story of Keola and Alhanna has touched you, you will be more impressed by the following stories. Find out what some of our pets are able to do to save the people they love.

31. Shanna saved her masters from a Snowstorm
Thirteen years ago, this brave and courageous dog named Shanna saved the lives of Norman and Eve Fertig, both over 81 years old. At that time, in northern New York, a snowstorm was raging and our two octogenarians were stuck under a tree that had fallen following a power outage.

Shanna, of immense bravery, undertook to dig a tunnel in the snow to save the life of the buried couple. When she succeeded, she used her fur coat to protect her owners from the cold. When help arrived on the scene, Norman and Eve, still in shock, described the rescue of their dog as the most heroic act they had ever witnessed.

32. When a dog protects its mistress from an attack
The mistress of this little pit bull is named Angela Marcelino. One morning, after celebrating her birthday until dawn, she was attacked while on her way home. A man took her from behind to try to abuse the young woman.


The situation seemed desperate and Angela thought she had no escape. When suddenly she saw her dog, Maya, running towards her. When she ordered him to attack, the pit bull did so, which immediately drove the attacker away.

33. A Cocker who saves his master from a fatal accident
Honey is an absolutely adorable and crunchy little dog, but what defines her best is her courage and her heroism. While she and her master Michael Bosch were on the roads in their caravan, they had a serious accident, in which Michael almost lost his life. Stuck in the cabin of the caravan, which had made several rollovers before running aground in a ditch, the master used his last efforts to get his dog out.


She was the poor injured man’s last hope and despite the fact that little Honey was only five months old at the time, she managed to run to get help. The little cocker spaniel was rewarded for this act of bravery that saved his master’s life.

34. Napoléon The Cat Rescuer
The little peculiarity of this story is that it does not concern a dog and its owner, but a dog who decides to save little kittens. Although it is a breed of dog that does not know how to swim very well, Napoleon did not hesitate for a single second to cross the road, dive and save kittens from drowning in the sinister Lake Michigan.

The animal’s mistress was initially surprised, not really understanding what her dog was doing. Then she was terribly proud and moved when she saw that her companion had taken so many risks to save six little kittens. Unfortunately, two of them died as a result of the shock. The remaining four are in very good health and have each found a loving home.

35. Don’t be fooled by appearances!
This little dog, named Junior, also has its place in our list of achievements. If at first sight, his size is not the most imposing, this little dog did not save a person from the flames, but the inhabitants of an entire house. How was this possible? While everyone was in a deep sleep, a fire broke out at Madelous Davilmar’s home, the owner of the little Junior.

Seeing that no one was waking up despite the rising flames, little Shih Tzu took charge and started barking everywhere, with all his strength, to wake the house. This noise alerted everyone and everyone managed to escape in time. The owner said that what seemed strangest to him was that his dog was usually incredibly quiet.

36. Miley a second little dog that saves an entire family from intoxication
One night, Miley kept waking Stacie up. She was frustrated because every time she fell asleep, Miley would wake her up again. Miley was annoyed until she finally realized that something terrible was happening. On a night like any other, however, Stacie’s little dog, Miley, kept waking her mistress up several times. She was really starting to get annoyed by her dog’s incomprehensible behaviour until she understood what was happening.

Very quickly, all the inhabitants of the house were subjected to vomiting and terrible headaches. They rushed to the hospital as quickly as possible, where the doctors told them that if they had not listened to their dog, the damage from the poisoning would have been irreversible. But thanks to our little champion, the drama was narrowly avoided.

37. A little Angel 
What we can say is that Austin Ferman’s 11-year-old dog is a good match for her first name. As the young boy was playing outside his house in a beautiful late afternoon, he was attacked by a wild cougar. But it was without counting on his faithful companion who protected him and saved him from the attack.

Angel defended his master until he had managed to take refuge in his home. Despite the serious injuries suffered by our little heroine, she is doing just fine now.

38. When love saves lives
Former prisoner and veteran of war Budhi Blair suffered daily from post-traumatic stress disorder related to everything he had seen and experienced in the Middle East. Psychologically unstable, our former soldier began to show impulsiveness and great violence, especially towards the police, which one day led him behind bars. During this time of confinement, Budhi met Layla, a pit bull who was also wounded and traumatized after the shock of a serious road accident.

A simple coincidence or simply the obvious, it is difficult to say. The fact is that the soldier somehow found himself in that dog with whom he had a lot in common. He spent all his time taking care of the animal, offering it all the best in it, so that their bond became almost unbreakable. The power of this relationship has completely saved our former soldier, who says Layla has done him much more good than any antidepressant he may have ingested before. When Budhi got out of prison, he opened an aid program, allowing prisoners to take care of lonely dogs in trouble.

39. Why we would need a psychologist when we have this dog? 
It was relieving and full of happiness that Johny’s mother, aged.8, finds that she has never seen her son so well and happy in her life. What is the explanation for this incredible improvement? The arrival of the little dog named Xena.

Johny has always been a special child, very little open to others and regularly locked into a silence that completely disconcerted his parents. Since Xena entered the child’s life, he has become a real chatterbox, always with a smile on his face. The bond between these two beings is simply incredible. It’s like they’re meant to be together.

40. Sheila saved from the fire thanks to her dog Nyla
We are not going to explain to you again how dogs have an ultra-developed sense of smell compared to ours, nor even that these faculties allow them to be able to sense certain things that we cannot perceive. But on that day, if Nyla had not intervened, her mistress would probably have died in that fire. Sheila, completely blinded by the smoke and flames, was unable to cope on her own. Her dog then guided her to the exit. How? By moving and barking every time Sheila took the wrong direction.

Once the young mistress finally finds her way out, her house is nothing more than a pile of fires. But it didn’t matter to her what her dog had just accomplished for her. “Nyla could have left at any time. But instead, she decided to stay and risk her life and face death to save me. I will be forever grateful to her.
