A hero pit bull came to the rescue of a young boy who nearly drowned at the hands of his crystal meth-addicted mother, police say.
The daunting incident occurred at the Murray River in Australia Wednesday, as shocking new details emerged from inside the Bendigo Magisrates’ Court Friday.
According to The Herald Sun (http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/law-order/woman-arrested-boy-missing-in-murray-river-at-moama/news-story/f812cdf076796313f4d62f1b918993bd), the unidentified mom, and a well-known drug addict to local authorities — took her two sons, ages 9 and 5, to the water’s edge and demanded the eldest child jump in with the intent to drown him.
The younger boy was heard by witnesses nearby screaming loudly as a pit bull named Buddy rushed to the scene. He reportedly attacked the mother, creating an opportunity for the elder child — who was also bitten badly in the altercation — an opportunity to escape.
