Dobermans often come with a pretty bad reputation as being “aggressive” dogs. With their streamlined bodies and intense-looking teeth, many people think they look like sharks, and thus, these beautiful animals are often ignored in shelters.

But it should always be noted that there is no such thing as a “bad” breed, only bad humans who raise them!

But for Catherine and her adorable 17-month-old girl named Charlotte, they knew in their hearts that a Doberman named Khan was going to be welcomed into their family and given the forever home that all animals deserve!

Things were going perfectly fine, but as Charlotte was busy playing in the backyard with Khan, Mom noticed something odd about his behavior. He seemed more aggressive than she’d ever seen.

Mom knew that Khan had been abused in his previous home, and suddenly, there must have been a fear. Khan was pushing the little girl around and snapping his teeth.

Before Mom had the chance to react, Khan grabbed Charlotte by her diaper and threw her a few feet across the yard. But suddenly, Mom heard a horrible yelp of pain.

Khan had been bitten in the paw by a king brown snake. Australia is home to some of the world’s deadliest animals, and this snake’s venom can kill a human easily. A girl of Charlotte’s age and size could have had potentially deadly consequences.

But Khan, bitten in the paw, kept the snake at bay. He stood between his little girl and the deadly creature. Barking at it angrily, in spite of the venom coursing through his veins, this amazing dog scared away the snake before collapsing.

The story was so amazing of a dog’s love and bravery, that soon enough his story was going viral. He was in news stories all around the world and it’s no surprise why people were naming him “Khan The Wonder Dog!”

Thankfully, Mom managed to rush him to a clinic which had an antivenom, and Khan survived. After only four short days with his new family, he already put his life on the line in order to keep them safe.

So for anyone who thinks that Dobermans are “aggressive,” you might be right. They’re aggressive toward anything that might be threatening their family! These dogs are incredibly loyal, and if you give them a little bit of love, they’ll be sure that you have a friend for life!
