There are no more loyal, unconditional and faithful beings than dogs. Although sometimes their small size can make us think that they are not capable of reaching that much, sometimes they become true heroes, sacrificing their own lives for those they love the most.
Coco was a Chihuahua known for her diminutive size but will be remembered as a great hero.
Dan and Cara Farrant were on a road trip from England to Scotland in their caravan with their children, ages 3, 5, 6 and 9, and Coco. But suddenly, a tragedy is about to take away their beloved pet in the most heartbreaking way.
Suddenly smoke began to come out of the engine; By the time the father stopped the vehicle in a parking lot, it was too late, and the flare coming from the hood became totally uncontrollable.
Then, his father’s instinct made him react immediately, putting his older children and Coco to safety. But in the middle of the fire the door system was damaged and they got stuck, with the tragedy that his wife Cara and little Thea were trapped inside.
“I remember looking at them and thinking it was too late. I’ll never forget the look and I’ll never forget the screaming in this moment,” Dan said. “I remember turning around and the flames were at full height on the windshield right behind me.”
Fortunately, Dan quickly received help from a stranger, being able to free Cara and Thea. But her dog Coco thought that her human mother and her little sister were still in danger. So without hesitating for a second, she ran back to the burning caravan in an attempt to presumably save them.
Something that no one realized in the midst of so much chaos. Only a few minutes later, when they couldn’t see Coco, their hearts stopped. When Dan got ready to do something, now it was too late:
The caravan exploded with Coco inside. He sacrificed her life for the ones she loved most. It’s heartbreaking!
Dan, Cara and their children watched in horror as the fire consumed their truck with their beloved Coco inside, unable to escape.
They all embraced in the midst of devastating tears, with nothing and no one able to comfort the family as they witnessed their dog’s act of heroism.
“I was only seconds away from losing my wife and little Thea. But we lost our youngest baby, Coco. My children are suffering and having nightmares. They saw the vehicle explode with Coco inside,” Dan recalled.
When firefighters arrived on the scene, they found Coco’s body under the front seat .
He had huddled there hoping to be safe from the fire.
“I will never get over losing Coco. It was what united all of our family. If one of us was sad or sick, he would stay with that person until he was well, “said the mother through tears.
They promised him that they would honor his memory forever.
Share this news to pay tribute to this faithful and heroic dog, who left this world fulfilling her cycle with the greatest act of love that can exist. We don’t deserve them!
