Pit bull pulls owner from the path of an oncoming train
Pit bull pulls owner from the path of an oncoming train
Spain’s son, Boston Police Officer David Lanteigne says the train engineer told emergency responders that her 8-year-old pit bull named Lilly managed to pull her off the tracks to safety as the train approached.
“The engineer said as he was coming up, he saw the dog pulling her off the tracks. But there wasn’t enough time,” Lanteigne told WBZ-TV’s Jim Smith. “He then saw the dog come around between the train and my mom and take the hit of the train.”
The dog suffered a broken pelvis and a right front leg injury that was so severe, doctors needed to amputate the leg.

I'm glad you posted the 'graph about how Lilly, when she couldn't drag her person out of the way in time, protected her with her own body. I read they found her with her head on her person's chest. 
I hope they are able to get her a prosthesis. They can make very good ones for dogs, I understand.
