Howard and Cheryl had longed for a child for years without success. To lift Cheryl’s spirits, Howard brought home a Pitbull puppy with white paws—Mittens. He quickly became Cheryl’s comfort and their loyal companion.
Just as they accepted they might never have kids, Mittens began acting strangely—following Cheryl closely and seeming anxious. Days later, Cheryl discovered she was pregnant. Mittens had sensed it before anyone else.
Their daughter, Sky, was born months later—her name inspired by Mittens’ blue eyes. When Cheryl’s trusted friend Wonder began babysitting, Mittens grew protective, growling when she neared Sky.
One evening, Mittens blocked Wonder from reaching the crib. Cheryl and Howard rushed home to find their baby crying and Mittens guarding her. Wonder claimed he attacked—but something felt off.
Footage from their security camera revealed the truth: Wonder was part of a child exploitation ring. Police arrested her, and Mittens was hailed a hero.
The story of Mittens spread far and wide. Howard and Cheryl, forever grateful, began sharing their experience to raise awareness of hidden dangers—and the incredible instincts of dogs.
Sky grew up hugging her brave protector, never forgetting the dog who once saved her life.
