In: Dobermans

One of the most common misconceptions about dogs like Dobermans is that they’re vicious animals. This couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, Dobermans are some of the most loyal dogs you can find. The following story is no exception:

An Australian family, looking to add some canine love to the mix, brought home a Doberman and named him Khan. The dog seemed to fit in well with the group and took a particular liking to the young child in the family.

According to a story in Buzz Flare, the dog was left alone outside with the child one day supervised from afar by her mother. When it seemed as though Khan was getting vicious, the mother ran outside, seeing Khan grab hold of the child and throw her across the yard–but upon further inspection, Khan was saving the child from a venomous snake.

Khan fought off the snake but was bitten and had to be rushed to the nearest emergency vet to be given anti-venom. Had Khan not been there it’s unlikely the child would have survived.

The story truly transcends the stigma behind Dobermans and goes to show that they are loyal and loving dogs who will do anything to protect the ones they love…

Few other breeds of dogs have the ability to make our beloved Dobermans look small, but Boss, the 5 year old Doberman looks quite tiny next to his friend Contino, a large white horse!

Though Contino is about five times larger than Boss, size doesn’t get in the way of their friendship! The two document their adventures in best-friending on their Instagram page, @TheDobieTeam.

While the unlikely pairing might be expected to be not a great fit, the two clearly love each other, playing day in and day out, unlike any canine-equine relationship you’ve ever come across.

Check out this video of the two’s exploits!

In 2008, a sweet 10 month old dog named Nora was rescued from deplorable conditions in a backyard breeding operation in Canada. Not only was she severely emaciated, she was also pregnant.

But with the help of her rescuers, Funds For Furry Friends, she was able to give birth to her puppies in a safe and caring environment, only two days after her escape.

Once her and her four puppies were strong enough, they were all put up for adoption and found loving forever homes. Nora especially found her people, fitting in perfectly to a family of five, bonding especially with the three children of her

Looking for a dog, ELizabeth Spence and her husband arranged to meet with Nora at her foster home, and immediately fell in love. Though she still showed signs of the trauma she endured, she bonded with the family quickly, especially the couple’s three young children.

Spence had no reason to believe Nora would ever see one of her puppies again, but received a call last year that changed the game. A family who had adopted one of Nora’s daughter’s could not longer keep her, and wanted to know if the Spence’s could take her in. Nora’s daughter, Remi, lived on a farm six hours aways, but her owners drove all the way to meet Nora and her owners in Winnipeg. And if there was any doubt that the Spences would take her in, Remi and Nora made it clear pretty almost immediately.

 

The two started playing as if they hadn’t spent a minute away from each other. And now they’ll never have to.

It’s not always easy being a Doberman. You’re a big dog, you tip stuff over sometimes, and you may even feel the need to nap 20 hours a day. But these 13 Dobermans absolutely understand the real struggle.

This Doberman may not be fully grown, but he gets that this chair is not real leather.

This Doberman struggles with the internal thought that she may never find a stick this big again.

“Aww…I still love you guys. But seriously, about the treats…”
