One night when the baby was only two months old, the Robinsons were awakened in the middle of the night by Benson’s loud barking. He barked incessantly and tried to reach the baby’s crib, but could not get past the crib’s protective bars, He started bitting the crib trying to reach the baby. At first, the Robinsons were scared, thinking that Benson was trying to hurt the baby, but when they took the baby in their arms, they noticed that the baby was no longer breathing.
They rushed him to a nearby hospital where doctors were able to resuscitate him. The doctor told the parents that the baby would have died if he had been on cardiorespiratory arrest for more than 30 minutes.
Benson became a hero and proved that nothing is accidental. The Robinson family saved Benson, a dog no one gave a chance to, and Benson saved their baby’s life.
