Tango, a terminally ill hospice dog, is being hailed as a hero after thwarting a burglary attempt at his foster home. Despite his health challenges, when an intruder broke into his foster family’s home recently, he began “barking intensely,” alerting the family to the breakin and scaring off the would-be burglar.
The foster family is part of the Golden Paw Hospice foster program, which has a goal to provide in-home care for terminally ill shelter pets like Tango. The family wants to ensure the pup is comfortable and loved during what could be his last days.
Tango's bravery shows the unique relationship between foster caretakers and shelter pets and the positive impact that fostering can have on both animals and people. His story serves as a testament to the human-animal bond and the transformative power of fostering.
