67 people in India saved by puppy's intelligence

In India, a seemingly ordinary but unforgettable event took place. This incident once again proved the deep bond and mutual feelings between dogs and humans.

On the night of June 30, in the village of Siati, Mandi district, Himachal Pradesh, something unexpected happened during what seemed like a peaceful night. On the surface, there were no visible signs. But it was the calm before a powerful storm, wrote The Independent.

That night was different from the rest — a five-month-old puppy suddenly began barking loudly, waking up its owner Narendra. Interestingly, the puppy had never acted this way before, but something unsettled it that night.

Narendra woke up and noticed a large crack in the wall. He realized this was a sign of danger. Without delay, he rushed to alert his neighbors. Thanks to the cooperation of villagers, quick evacuation followed. Around 20 families managed to leave their homes in time.

Moments later, everything happened rapidly. A landslide hit the village with great force. Nearly everyone who made it outside in time survived. The main reason — the puppy’s sharp instincts and the owner’s immediate reaction.

The rescued families were temporarily relocated to the Naina Devi temple. The state is providing them with food, clothing, and other essential supplies. Additionally, the Himachal Pradesh government allocated 10,000 rupees (approximately 116 USD) to each affected family.

In the past two weeks, the region has experienced a series of natural disasters. Heavy rainfall has increased the number of landslides. According to NDTV, since the beginning of July, at least 50 people have died due to floods and landslides in Himachal Pradesh.

Over 150 roads have been blocked, and hundreds of homes destroyed. The damage to agriculture has also been significant, making this a physical and emotional trial for the people.

Experts emphasize that during such disasters, not only human instinct but animal intuition is invaluable. The case of the Siati village puppy is a clear example of this.

Now, the puppy is being hailed as a "hero" by the local community. Its pictures are circulating widely in local media. Some have even proposed erecting a monument in its honor. After all, it didn’t just save lives — it reignited hope within a community.

Elders in the village say, “Such a dog is born once in a lifetime. This is a gift only given to the chosen.”

Every disaster brings tragedy. But it also revives hope, kindness, loyalty, and humanity. This puppy didn’t just preserve life — it became a symbol of the goodness that lives in the hearts of people. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
