One morning, a 4-year-old girl vanished from her home’s yard. For the past 48 hours, the family and neighbors have been searching the adjacent woodland for her. When the police arrived on the scene, they began questioning everyone about whether they had seen the girl, but none had.
The parents’ desperation was growing, and they were terrified that something horrible might happen to their young daughter.
Over a five-mile radius, the police visited every home in an effort to find the missing girl, searching day and night without stopping.
The girl had a drastically decreasing chance of survival with every hour that went by.
The neighbors discovered a stray pit bull hiding next to a tree in the midst of the forest on the third day of the search. The dog growled at their attempts to approach, preventing anyone from getting close to him.
Upon closer inspection, they saw that the dog was attempting to defend the girl who had gone missing. YES, THEY FOUND HER!
The dog was obviously squatting next to the girl in the woods, trying to protect and warm her, however it is unknown how much time they spent together.
The girl was extremely hungry and dehydrated, but she was unharmed. After being brought to the hospital, her condition was improved by the medical staff.
The girl’s family later adopted the puppy, whom they gave the name Joy.
Because the pit bull was able to keep the girl safe, he was hailed as a hero.
Nobody ever imagined that a dog could have such keen instincts as to sense the child’s danger and instinctively know how to protect it.
Joy once again shown to the girl’s parents how much wiser and more loving dogs may be than people realize. For this, the parents are grateful.
Weeks Before the Wedding, Woman Discovers Disturbing Secrets About Her Future Husband
A woman has recounted the devastating story of how she discovered her fiancé had been lying about his entire life just weeks before their wedding.
Most of us are guilty of telling the odd white lie when dating, but how far would you go in order to impress a potential significant other?
For Megan Clarke, 27, she thought she’d found her happy ever after when she begun a relationship with Lord Bertie Underwood, a charming horologist (someone who makes and repairs watches).
Although she wasn’t looking to settle down, Megan – who was 20 years old at the time and working as a bar manager on the Isle of Wright – was soon swept off her feet by the dashing Lord, who treated her to luxurious date nights and invited her to live in his lavish seafront home.
“He was charming, kind, thoughtful, loving. A real gentleman,” Megan recounted of their relationship during an interview with Metro.
The relationship moved quickly. Within a month the pair had said ‘I love you’ and Bertie would pop the question six months later, surprising Megan with a Cartier diamond ring.
However if things sound almost too good to be true, there’s a chance that something more sinister is lurking beneath the surface.
Bertie would request that Megan didn’t post his face on social media, claiming it was because of his dad’s high-ranking career in the navy (which in hindsight should be the second red flag after the name ‘Lord Bertie Underwood’).
However the fairytale would begin to unravel when Megan noticed letters arriving at their home under various different names. Bertie claimed they were for previous tenants, but the former bar manager was not convinced and decided to investigate further.
What Megan then discovered would bring her world crashing down entirely.
However not everything was as it seemed.
Megan later discovered that Bertie had multiple bank cards under various aliases and after googling the names, she uncovered that her Lord actually had a long track record for fraud, using names such as Robert Doughty and Robert Soanes-Madejski to get away with his crimes.
The truth devastated Megan, who would be dealt another crushing blow once the pair split – with ‘Bertie’ having racked up around £30,000 of debt in her name.
“We went to the police and action fraud,” she recalled to The Sun. “[But] unfortunately there wasn’t a great deal they could do.”
Megan has since worked to pay off the debts and rebuild her life while ‘Bertie’ has since been arrested on fraud charges and sentenced to five years in prison. However he escaped in 2022 and currently remains on the run.
The fact that ‘Bertie’ is now on the run is something which has left Megan unsettled, as she added to Metro that she would ‘freeze’ if she encountered him on the street.
Megan’s story appears as part of the series Love Cheats, which is available to watch on Channel 4.
