Dog sniffs out abuse. Good doggie!!!

Columbia, South Carolina
When the Jordan family moved to Charleston, S.C., with their then 7-month-old son, Finn, they hired a 22-year-old babysitter whose background check had come up clean.

And while they trusted Alexis Khan with the care of their baby for five months - their dog didn't. "We started to notice that our dog was very defensive of our son when she would come in the door," said Benjamin Jordan. "He was very aggressive towards her and a few times we actually had to physically restrain our dog."


Picture of the pooch & it's ward at link. Love a good dog story!
