A woman named Shannon Lorio was driving on a rural road late one night, when she lost control of her car. The speeding vehicle left Shannon fishtailing, and she was thrown out of the back windshield.

Shannon landed on an embankment nearby. She could feel the bleeding inside her head, and knew that there was no one on the empty roads who could help her. That’s when she felt the presence of a huge animal breathing down her face. A stray German Shepherd had come out of nowhere to be her guardian angel!
Shannon was losing consciousness by the second, but she could feel she was being pulled and tugged out of the woods and into the streets, more than 100 feet away. Soon, a passing car found Shannon, and took her to ER for the necessary help.

When Shannon woke up, her hero was gone. She knew that she would not have survived if it wasn’t for the selfless act of the dog. When she recovered, she helped track the dog, and get him to the Humane Society.

The dog was aptly named Hero, and he has found a forever home with a search and rescue trainer, Heidy Drawdy. He now works as a certified search and rescue dog, something that he is naturally good at!
