Trivia: Odin, the True Leader – When This Dog Kept Alive a Group of Goats Amidst Raging Fire

Dogs are considered one of the most loyal animals on this planet

Dogs are known as the most loyal animals on earth, and therefore, they are often spotted going out of their way to help their human friends. From saving lives to performing CPR and even laying down their lives on the battlefields, dogs are no less than superheroes in the lives of humans.

However, a few years ago, there was an Odin, a dog who led a group of goats through a raging fire.

Great Pyrenees

In California, Odin is a Great Pyrenees who belongs to an individual named Roland Handel.

Tubbs fire

When the Tubbs fire in Northern California reached Roland Handel’s home, he had to take a crucial call.

One call

Handel forced Odin to get into the car, but Odin didn’t wish to leave the group of goats that he was in charge of.

Odin’s stand

Odin did not get into the car and stayed with the group of goats. At that point, Handel realised that it was his last meeting with Odin.

Odin, the hero

A few days later, Handel returned with his family to his destroyed family. The loss was severe, and it was a devastating moment for the family. However, an unexpected miracle occurred. There was Odin, wagging his tail, and with Odin were eight goats – all unharmed and alive. Not to forget, a few deer had also joined Odin’s group.
