Dogs are known to be sweet and gentle animals, especially to those that they consider family. As pack animals, dogs tend to create strong bonds with them, going so far as to risk their lives for members of their family. Many videos on the internet even feature dogs who bravely face predators such as poisonous snakes, coyotes, or even bears to protect their loved ones.
A dog’s protective nature is the reason why one video of an English Mastiff named Gordon has made rounds all over the internet. You see, like other dogs, Gordon is overprotective of his humans. Living with a family with kids, Gordon has learned that the kids are an important part of the pack.
Gordon took it to himself to make sure that the little girls are safe, even when they are waiting for the bus to school. The featured video is captured by Gordon’s owner one schoolday. The family’s two little girls excitedly wait for the school bus on the side of the road a few meters away from their home.
You guessed right—Gordon is by their side the entire time. The giant dog patiently sits by as he looks after the little girls. Several minutes later, the school bus finally arrives and the girls say their goodbyes to Gordon as they board the bus.
Gordon doesn’t leave the spot even after the girls were inside the bus. He waited until the bus finally left before he comes running back home to his owner who captured the priceless moment on film.
No matter how big or small a dog is, they seem to possess the same giant heart that is full of love for the people in their lives. Watch Gordon watch over his little humans while they wait for the school bus in the video below.
