MY DOG SAVED MY AUTISTIC CHILD 😥

Original caption

My dog became my child’s hero 🥹🐶 Alfie, a non-verbal autistic 6-year-old, suddenly slipped out and ran into the road while his mum was cooking with the air fryer and couldn’t hear him leave. Just metres away, she realised what had happened when their dog chased after him and helped bring him safely back home. ❤️‍🩹🐾 @clarkealexandra01 #autistic #dog #familydog #wholesomemoments #wholesome #doglove
