The Robinson family began preparing the nursery as soon as they settled into their new home, so it would be ready when the new family member was born.
In just four months, Mrs. Robinson had to give birth to a boy, her second child.
The Robinsons were animal lovers, but since the owner had forbidden them to have a dog because they lived in an apartment, they didn’t want a dog anymore, but at least a puppy.
The two women took their son Matias, 6, to an animal shelter to choose a dog.
They wanted a non-aggressive puppy that could grow up with the children on the farm.
After inspecting the kennels and hearing some of the tragic stories of the dogs, they hesitated on which puppy to choose.
On their way out, they met Benson, a 4-year-old Pitbull.
He came back with his tail between his legs, as if he had lost all trust in humans.
The Robinson family inquired about Benson, and the shelter staff told them that he had led a truly terrible life.
After being used in dog fights, he was thrown onto the street, where he was found by volunteers.
Before Benson was adopted by a couple, he spent some time in the shelter.
However, after just two weeks, Benson was returned to the shelter with the explanation that he had behavioral problems and was violent towards his owners.
Despite the volunteers’ advice that Benson should not live with children, he was adopted.
Mr. Robinson asked for a chance for Benson.
They finally came home, although Benson didn’t like being tied up and even coming to the car was difficult.
At first, Benson was very anxious, calm, and distant.
But over time, Benson was able to adapt and build bonds with every family member, especially Matias.
After Mrs. Robinson gave birth, the new baby was brought home and introduced to Benson.
He gently licked the baby’s face after sniffing it.
The owners immediately understood that Benson was an adorable dog and that they would get along well.
The baby was only two months old when the Robinsons were awakened one night by loud barking.
He kept barking and trying to get into the crib, but the safety gates prevented him. To reach the baby, he began to chew on the crib.
When the Robinsons took the boy into their arms, they found that he had stopped breathing, which initially alarmed them because they thought Benson was trying to hurt him.
He was taken to a nearby hospital where doctors were able to revive him.
The doctor told the parents that the baby would have died if he had remained in cardiac arrest for longer than 30 minutes.
Benson gained fame and proved that nothing happens by accident.
The Robinson family was the first to give Benson a chance, and Benson ultimately saved their baby’s life.
