See This: Rescued dog saves infant’s life - A family in Portland, Conn., have their dog, Duke, to thank for saving their newborn daughter

Talk about an awe-inspiring tale!

A Connecticut family have always loved their rescue dog, Duke, but now their appreciation for the pooch has reached a whole new level

The Brousseau family say Duke, who they adopted six years ago, alerted them to the fact that their nine-week-old daughter Harper was not breathing.

Jenna Brousseau says the pooch jumped up on her bed Sunday night, and woke up her and her husband up with his shaking.

It was then that they knew something was  wrong.

They immediately went to the  nursery to check on Harper, and found her not breathing and called 911.

Harper is now doing fine and as for Duke, well, Jenna says, he is “the perfect dog”

“He’s heaven. He’s a good boy,” she said.

The family says they wanted to share their story because they are hoping to inspire others to adopt dogs in need like they did
