“If your dog shows unusual dislike towards someone, he is making you aware about the potential threat that person can present to you.”
So, it’s probably a good thing that dog is man’s best friend because we know they’ll always have our backs.
We all know dogs to be among the noblest and loving animals on earth.
They’ve also been known to be heroic and willing to lay their lives down in order to save their humans.

The police didn’t have further details but the dog is believed to have belonged to a guest.
They did say that it was the dog’s actions that saved the lives of those at the wedding party.
Police believe the crime was committed by Boku Haram since this bombing occurred shortly after three separate suicide bombers blew themselves up at two other nearby locations.

It’s unknown exactly how the dog knew that the suicide bomber was a dangerous person.
But animal experts say sensing danger is within their nature.
“Dogs are highly sensitive of pheromones which we are not aware of. This is the reason dogs can predict possible danger. They can get to know about the intention of a person we meet by sensing their subtle facial expressions and body language. Not only dogs can make you aware about any danger from a person, they are also good at detecting bombs, drugs etc.,” The Dodo said.
